It comes together
I normally write these updates on Monday, and I have gotten a few complaints about my tardiness. I have to plead being uber-busy, as this weekend I helped a f.of.G.o.D. with getting his website up as well as writing a tale for Storyblogging carnival. This tale will actually show up in the next one, as I found an older one that was never published that is prequel to the current one. Another thing I was doing yesterday was chatting to Michele about the possiblity of her husband doing our band’s CD cover. Considering how many bloggers are involved in the band project already, I thought it would be silly not to use a talented blogger’s husband to do the cover. We shall see how that pans out. Another thing that took some time this week was the fact that I seem to be going to 3 gigs, 3 nights in a row, including the 100th anniversary of Norwegian Independence (headlined by Satyricon) and its pre-show party. Of course, last week I saw the awesome Suffrajets one night and then the interesting Moth the next night.

...but don’t get yourself killed in south London!
(And for those looking for a secret rendezvous, you should know that there is no longer a bandstand in Hendon Park. Since the end of the Cold War there obviously hasn’t been the demand. It is heartening to know however that there was once something to do in Hendon.)

Three videos for your delectation. They are all somewhat connected in that they are all in color and show moving things.
The first, a Japanese commercial for an all-you-can-eat Marriott hotel buffet, makes a quite sensible point.
This one is taken from a police car as a cop narrowly misses being killed when another car smashes into his cruiser.
This one—well, it might not give you nightmares, but I have a bad habit of fixing on these vertiginous types of dreams, so I expect a few more restless nights in the future.
It’s an amazing piece showing an Audi Quattro being driven up the ramp of an enormous ski-jump (in Finland, I believe). There doesn’t seem to be any trickery involved, though they do have to try more heavily-spiked tires when it gets stuck at the halfway mark.
