Crystal Fairy & the Magical Cactus and 2012 (2013) — Art of the Title

i liked this movie, and the soundtrack also.

I hereby declare the Nvidia GeForce GTX 760 as fully workable on a mac pro. There. I would also like to share the following screenshot just in case it happens that my only reader is also santa:

The cuckoo calls from the well of my mind, more echo than thought, as it fades through the wind and flickers away to the silence beyond like the voice, in myself, of another. 'insomnia in southern Illinois' by John Burnside  "That's the man you're looking for A pause, a vacuum. An absence. Things taken out of context

These are the lyrics for New Model Army's 'Pull The Sun'  from their new album 'Between dog and wolf' And it seems that Justin is still writing the soundtrack to my life. This is not meant to be pretentious   Impossible desire, impossible the dream We lined them all up together and set off on the chase Now the years they are gone like thieves in the dark Did your eyes follow after them into the night? I watched you as you tried and tried To pull the sun from out of the sky The colours all run and the clouds collide But that was never enough And me, I’ve got a black place in my heart My favourite chord, my favourite card That I draw every time on these occasions If you leave a fire to burn it will burn itself away It’s a long way back through the dirty waters for you and me Are you still haunted by the hands always letting you go And if I told you not to look, would you do that for me this one time?

I liked this film. Maybe you {have} will {would} too. Here is an imdb link .

This came in my mail today: Which made me think: "For Mammon is a jealous master, leaves no room for any other", from New Model Army's 'Drag it Down'.

It is widely accepted that smoking in enclosed public spaces is a disgrace, but rejecting a potential employee before reaching the doorstep, under the Law (company policy) of "we accept no applicants who are smokers" somewhat reminds me of something: Following, is the actual job ad over at Cyprus Recruiter website. Oh, and did I mention the company name is DeltaQuest? Find out more about them here .

For the Cyprus European Presidency, the advertising company Partners Y&R designed a logo that strikes a close resemblance to the one in the photo above. As you can see, the photo was taken from shutterstock , a royalty-free stock photo etc service. Partners Y&R responded under the postmodern ideology that nothing is original, and, any idea can pop simultaneously. In actuality, the 'inspiration' for the logo design, also appearing on the five mils coin was taken by an ancient Cyprus artifact that resembles a bird as a ship. Now all this may be true, yet, I have worked at Partners Y&R myself, and I dare admit that the majority (all) of it's advertising designs, highly depend upon aforementioned royalty-free websites. In my case, particularly, any original material produced and presented to the owners of the company, the high in-command, were rejected in favour of some pre-existing design on the web. That is, perhaps, the reason why nothing -on the web- exists as a...

"The preservation of the unsent letter is its arresting feature. Neither the writing nor the sending is remarkable (we often make drafts of letters and discard them), but the gesture of keeping the message when we have no intention of sending it. By saving the letter, we are in some sense 'sending' it after all. We are not relinquishing our idea or dismissing it as foolish or unworthy (as we do when we tear up a letter); on the contrary, we are giving it an extra vote of confidence. We are, in effect, saying that our idea is too precious to be entrusted to the gaze of the actual addressee, who may not grasp its worth, so we 'send' it to his equivalent in fantasy, on whom we can absolutely count for an understanding and appreciative reading".

Most of the days from last week were spent in Paphos, where freelance work came up for a company called Euroblinds. It includes taking photographs of their products as they are set up in several luxury houses all along Cyprus. The final outcome being an elegant catalogue showcasing their best projects. I've hardly ever seen such expensive paraphernalia in my life (automatic curtains? 3D television at the swimming pool?), let alone being inside the walls they adorn. One such house was built halfway inside a cliff, staring at the beautiful sea of Paphos. The cleaner told me it's used once a year for a month. My, I thought, how the crisis lies heavy on us all. In any case, it is a nice feeling getting off the screen for a while and doing some work that includes travelling. In between appointments, I take leisure in reading a book, have coffee and eat sandwiches made from home, and take photos of landscapes therefore fulfilling the requirements that make the whole experience bohemi...
