Act as if something happened

/ ,/

Ever since getting some wireless internet in the house, I've been making up for lost online time and sinking my proverbial fangs into the delicious slices of everything the world wide web has to offer. My interest in film and acting has been rekindled since watching "Inside the Actors Studio" on youtube. I must say, I prefer Terry Gross' approach to interviewing then James Lipton; Terry dosen't seem to know more about you then you do, whereas James knows everything and his questions are designed to elicit those exact facts that he himself already knows. Kind of like "Tell them about that thing!" and you're like "oh.. yes well.. everyone knows about that already... U mean.. er, yeah."

I also found one of my favorite short films that I saw at the Bumbershoot art festival in Seattle; El Elegante. A beautiful, and strange film. Such a tasty desert.





I also stumbled on the TED talks: an annual seminar of speakers and lecturers who gather in California and swap their new, innovative ideas. From scientists, to artists, to philosophers, it's all represented and absolutely a smorgasborg (sp?) for those with an insatiable curiosity.

Here is one lecture that I find particularly depressing and frightening. Enjoy! :-) Keep on the sunny side! :):):):)




Immerse your soul in love,
