wash, dry, fold

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.

noah and i love flippy cat’s domino channel on youtube.

he did an awsome happy new year video for 2009.

here’s the one he did last year.

i plan to make one over the weekend (plus a smaller one for noah)

imagine how neat my closet will be after i use it.

right now my clothes are thrown in chaos in the closet.

i fold and put away everyone’s clothes (when i eventually get to it), but my own clothes i form into a ball and stuff into whichever compartment is available.

no wonder i stress so much whenever i have to leave the house.

I was going to write about the new book I got: Ojingogo by Matthew Forsythe, so I googled it and found the cutest Japanese commertcial on Matthew Forsythe’s blog:

Ojingogo looks so nice. I will write something as soon as I get a chance to read it.

Santa Claus invents Christmas with a belly full of cough syrup and a head full of dying crows.

film by indie film maker brent green, a mixed media artist who accompanies his animations with live narration and music performed by him and his band.

according to cartoon brew, watching his movies on youtube is not the same as seeing a live performance, but since i am not going to make it to los angeles on july 22, i guess this will have to do.
