Winehouse


It's the Amy Winehouse clip that stands out from all the rest for me. I only fully realised why after reading Sasha Frere Jones in the New Yorker. Amy starts of unsteady, even unfamiliar with the song, and the backing singers are no better. She settles down quickly to a level of capable execution including seldom seen smiles punctuated with more familiar looks of incongruous zoned out distance. 

Just before the two minute mark Amy steps-up and takes the song somewhere different than previous renditions. She pulls a devil sign of the horns at that moment but let's not read too much into that because as if to prove she has another two gears above every other singer on the planet, Amy ends the song with a voice that works the crowd like a machete in 90's Rwanda. Extraordinary. All in all, about sixty seconds of visibly trying and the audience are instantly won over.

I've no idea why she was so unhappy. I don't think it was just the drink and drugs. Sometimes drink and drugs are brilliant if a person is deeply unhappy. Then they start to contribute to the unhappiness and nobody can remember what started where.

UFO Captured On Google Earth


Planetary management is so dismal I'm convinced most people would vote an alien into office if they tipped up and turfed out the ubiquitous power hungry greedy psychos we've got in charge.

Vesica Piscis


Intrigued by George's raving about the Vesica Piscis  that I wasn't sure how to spell, I did a search and ended up back on Charles Gilchrist's sacred geometry videos again.

That's where I learned about the 2 dimensional to three dimensional transfiguration potential of Metatron's cube, which blew me away as it leads to all those platonic solids and more. To quote Joe Biden 'it's a big fucking deal'.

However the essence of all this action is at the Vesica Pisces explained as ever with gusto by Charles in his excellent videos. I guess the original 2D universe was a perfect circle at the beginning and the end, which ties in with the perfect uniformity that astrophysicists can't quite explain at big bang but without which they can't explain anything further. The design in this universe is extraordinary and it unravels profoundly no matter how deep or how wide the lens goes. Which is why it's worth refusing to ignore those crop circles I've written extensively about and which I've just discovered quite a few of you "Facebook liked". Thank you. That's very flattering.
