today was ok.

July 14, 2009

I seem to have finally shaken the last remnants of the flu (that had SO overstayed its visit) but I still can’t seem to get into the swing of things. Soon though. Hopefully.
I am however, happily making list after list for our soon-ish trip to Melbourne (Oct, ‘09) + our not-so-soon-ish trip to Poland & South Africa (March/April/May ’11). It’s all very exciting. Planning is half the fun, no?

Interestingness, elsewhere:

→ Ian Whitmore: I like both series in his portfolio (Nowhere & Channels).

→ Eleanor Hardwick: I’ve been following her work for a while. So pretty. Nice to see her profiled in this month’s Frankie.

→ If you missed seeing The Maxx when it originally aired on MTV then you’re in luck! MTV has posted full episodes to its website, allowing viewers to revisit this highly under-rated series once again. I collected all the comics and watched the videos over and over (vhs!) and I never got sick of it. Go have a look. So good.

→ Hand written letters sent to a whole village anonymously. Goodness in hand written format!

→ Feature Shoot’s Friday theme: Birds. Strangely beautiful and sad too.

→ I’ve been having a few discussions lately about the topic of morality (in the media and in daily life) and this movie seems interesting if somewhat confronting. I think I’d like to see it. I’m on a little bit of a JM Coetzee kick after reading Diary of a Bad Year not too long ago. John Malkovich has always scared me a little though.
