via inspire me, now!

in other news, did you hear about the woman who kidnapped the washing machine technician?

and happy birthday to my big brother, noni, who’s turned 40 earlier this week. i got him a very cool present but i can’t write about it right now because i have to wake up james who’s just turned 35 and give him all the lovely clothes i bought him for his birthday!

i saw this video in the blog fabulist! and was reminded of Hans Christian Andersen’s “story of a mother” which is really the most heartbreaking story anyone could write.

i think Lars von Trier thought of andersen’s story when he made “dancer in the dark”. because watching it made me feel exactly the same. terribly sad. but that’s probably stating the obvious.

i read it now and broke into tears. i don’t think you have to be a mother to feel this kind of enormous pain. i remember watching the danish film adaptation of the story as a child and realizing how devastated the mother is.

this week yotam sent me a link to snopes, urban legends refference pages.

snopes is divided to sections like food, music, politics etc. the statements are then marked as true / false / undetermined and more… here are a few examples:

a mixture of coca cola and mentos killed two brazilian kids - false

eating celery results in negative calories- true

they also post stories purely because they appeal to the readers. they don’t vouch for the reliability of these stories. here’s a nice one:

A Texas death row inmate with a history of mental problems pulled out his only good eye and told authorities he ate it.

yotam sent me a link to nina saunders’ morphed furniture ages ago.

nina saunders takes traditional furniture pieces and morphs them beyond practicality.

i don’t know why i haven’t posted this yet. guess i waited for the right moment.

have a great week!
