classic



The Owl and the Pussy-Cat went to sea In a beautiful pea-green boat:They took some honey, and plenty of moneyWrapped up in a five-pound note.

The Owl looked up to the stars above,And sang to a small guitar,"O lovely Pussy, O Pussy, my love,What a beautiful Pussy you are,You are,You are!What a beautiful Pussy you are!"

Pussy said to the Owl, "You elegant fowl,How charmingly sweet you sing!Oh! let us be married; too long we have tarried:But what shall we do for a ring?"They sailed away, for a year and a day,To the land where the bong-tree grows;And there in a wood a Piggy-wig stood,With a ring at the end of his nose,His nose,His nose,With a ring at the end of his nose.

"Dear Pig, are you willing to sell for one shillingYour ring?" Said the Piggy, "I will."So they took it away, and were married next dayBy the Turkey who lives on the hill.They dined on mince and slices of quince,Which they ate with a runcible spoon;

And hand in hand on the edge of the sandThey danced by the light of the moon,The moon,The moon,They danced by the light of the moon.

original thought













James my co-worker at the Library thought of the word p**********s, and after a number of attempts James offered "Kafkaesque Pipistrelles", which gave him 2 hits. Soooooooo close! Anway about a week later I had another go with pipistrelles. Getting knowhere fast I decided to visit the googlewack site for the rules of the game to see if there was anything that I was missing. It was at this point that I came across the Wack stack. You see, the wack stack is a list of all the googlewacks found so far. I quickly realised that my googlewack was only a cut and paste away! Sure enough after only two attempts my third attempt cut and paste, h***g, with p**********s, to produce my first googlewack!! The point is, can I claim this wack as my own? pipistrelles was james word, well not his exactly, but he remembered it, and the wack stack was like a skin graft. Some how I realized that this wack was not original and pure in anyway. It was a mongral. Still h***g p**********s was my first, and I loved it anyways. Sometime later I checked the wack again and was horrified to see that h***g p**********s had disapeared and in its place sat my blog!! My blog was now a googlewack!!. Because I had mentioned the wack in this post, google had picked it up, but where was the original wack? A couple of days later and the original wack entry re-appeared alongside my blog entry. Now h***g p**********s wasn't even a googlewack!! I would have to go back into my blog and catch all the references and astrix them out. Would h***g p**********s return to its original wack. How quickly can google update its search?

inland empire























is it good? what's it like? is it better than his other films? What does it mean? what's it about? what did it make you think of? well firstly the possibility of digital film. The fact that we have no excuses. Secondly I felt that inland empire was a film trying so hard not to be a film. thirdly I would love to know what filters Lynch uses in order to arrive at the images that we see. Composition is always strong. Dialogue is.......wooden, but in the hands of a proffessional actor come across. With the right commitment and filters and a little bit of money its possible to make a film outside of the main stream. This means nothing unless you have a marketing bulldozer to plough through all the shit between you and that big screen.

Conclusion:David Lynch is a marketing mans wet dream.

Oh yes, I was suddenly struck by the lynchian quality of these three mills and boon covers. Perhaps we should make a film using the mills and boon filter?

Puns



























I umm, let me just think hang on. OK. So I was thinking about what I should write to accompany the short film that I made about water, for a friends conference in Norway. I was having difficulties and decided to go shopping. While I was walking down one of the isles in the supermarket and I noticed a leek falling from a shoppers bag onto the floor. Before I could say anything another shopper shouted out Oi! Your bags leaking!

Sometime later I looked for the image of the women taring the road, and hit a brick wall. I mean I just couldn't find them. No matter what key words I used they were nowhere to be found. Days later after still no joy I typed in the words "resurfacing road" and hey presto there were my three girls! Um I now know um that the image is from 'The Union Makes Us Strong: TUC History Online"
