gone not lost

In a land not known by time but by memories. Where life is all that I wished it to be. Where my joy is consuming and my sadness is unseen.

gone. (and honestly) semi-lost

It has been awhile since I last posted... I’ve missed seeing all the weird and interesting tidbits of information that somehow only appear on this part of the interwebs.

I must be honest I feel Tumblr has changed during my foray into the real world. I am excited to see a new wave of creators/innovators sharing their ideas through this amazing platform which allows for anonymity, letting projects speak for themselves. 

Tumblr was, and always will be, my first love in the social media world. I have been away for far too long... I will attempt to update more frequently, especially with must hear tunes for the ‘music box’.

David Edelstein reviews Wild Tales, an Argentinean omnibus film—six short stories—that was co-produced by filmmaker Pedro Almodovar. It is nominated for Best Foreign Language Film. 

"I’m guessing that the oldest subject in literature isn’t love or war or the struggle for survival but revenge. Someone takes something from you, makes you feel small, and you take it back, in righteousness and blood. Now comes a frequently marvelous six-part movie from Argentina called Wild Tales that stares hard at the subject from different angles, among them ghoulish comedy, social tragedy, gory macho farce, and feminist melodrama. In Spanish, the title is Relatos Salvages—Savage Tales—but under either name the takeaway is clear: ultra-civilized humans can turn, in an instant, into blindingly destructive forces of nature."

The Rain Room is a 100 square metre field of falling water which visitors are invited to walk into. Sensors detect where visitors are standing, and the rain stops around them, giving them an experience of how it might feel to control the rain.

A man had 3 boxes. Each box weighed 5 pounds. The man weighed 190. The bridge could only support 200. How did the man make it across the bridge with all his boxes? He juggles. He keeps the one box in the air the whole time. The bridge is life, the boxes hold your feelings, your love, your joy, your pain, your loss. Everyone is crossing a bridge with more weight than they can bear. So you juggle.

I can easily relate to them, that's why I love working with them!

I thought about how to answer this question for a while, anon. I thought about scratch-resistant glasses, and how their coating was first developed by NASA to protect astronaut helmet visors. I thought about ear thermometers, and how NASA’s Jet Propulsion lab helped adapt the same infrared...
