Beautiful Cynicism III

Yes, that about sums up my New Year’s Eve and the birth of 2010. Drinking, singing, munching, laughing, and generally rocking out: it’s all good. Happy New Year!

A slice of English life, a mere thirty-seven seconds long. A camera captures these Londoners on their “morning commute” one foggy July day in 1896 – only a few years after the first motion pictures were made. I don’t know why, but this fascinates me.

The “Divine Dali” indeed.

From ‘A Soft Self-Portrait’, excellent (and sometimes stupefying) film about Salvador and Gala Dali, narrated by Orson Welles, that everyone must watch at least once in his lifetime.
