stealing things from friends this morning

first up is chernobylred:
- an item of interest to several of you tricksy people.
- a clever James Bond .gif (You know what struck me most about that gif? The fact that Roger Moore is the only one who doesn't fire (and he's alone in taking a two-handed grip on the gun). He also, to my untrained eye, is in the best shooting position. If I had to guess, I'd peg him as the actual shootist of the bunch.)

next, we have ruefullyamused on the bookface:
- noam chomsky criticizing the attacks on Gaza

and, as a palate-cleanser after that, cassandrasimplx discovered a gold mine of mashup brilliance, with my favorite being this fantastic conversational take on the temptations and cee lo green.

Dream media

Been dreaming vividly this week, though not always enjoyably - some stressy ones, some puzzling ones, a few boring ones, and a particularly detailed NES-like rendition of the surfing bit from California Games crossed with manga sensibilities, where a friend showed me an easter egg where you could turn the surfboard into wings, fly over some stuff, bonk Poseidon on the head, and then get fawned over by a quartet of nude naiads made of the finest 16-bit seawater.

The night of boring dreams, however, had a fantastic soundtrack: The Piano Guys' re-orchestration of Bach's Cello Suite #1 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ry4BzonlVlw&feature=share&list=PL01007CFE050060DE )
