it's your life too, I'm just taking credit for it.
posting is a frame of mind.
it comes in fits and spurts for me.
right now I'm in an expressive frame of mind waiting for reality to smack me in the face.

Re: are you surfing?
where am i now? in bed, blogging, as usual.
I'll take the bait and post this incoherent mail chain. As Lewis notes, I had a choice between an old 7'1" gun and a 5'8" piranha. I should have been surfing the 5'8" all day. That's what happens when depend on others to make your surf equipment decisions for you. I at first was chiding Lewis for packing three boards and one leash, but that frustration quickly subsided when on of our friends produced an extra leash, and the sun came out.
photo credits go to the ever patient Ange. I thank the goddess that she was there to capture photographic evidence of my claim. You can see the look of exhaustion and relief on my face as I literally struggled, breathless, up the beach, doing my best to keep my body erect after a serious trouncing in the shore-break.
A double session in heaving barrels was more than my shriveled brain could handle. I returned home, picked up the fam from the airport, and then slept the sleep of the dead.
Sander, I need to add a 6' piranha to my quiver. I'll be calling you soon.

When we last heard from our intrepid hero, he had stayed up all night drinking tequila and incoherently blogging. Desperate for surf, he claimed "anything short of a drowning pit will do."
I dragged him to a spot just <location removed to protect the innocent> of a drowning pit, and the former Barrel Virgin delivered yet again. By day's end he was surfing my 5'8" in these waves, and surfing better than me.
Where are you now Makoto?

A little effect goes a long way
The video show was resplendent in black and white. Over colorized hues of lime green and lemon . The effects were really simple but worked really well. nothing more complex than a what photo booth does today. The next song is karma police.
Like boys in a bubble, the band is multi-cammed onto the big screen, beasty brady bunch style.
This is what you get.

Audio intermission 2, the cyber attack continues
Servers from the radiohead republic were under sustained bombardment. Denial of music attack was in full force. The band began pulling power from the base grid to feed the the fire wall. Switching to a lower wattage song brought the green into full effect and spread it into the harmonic. The servers held and the sound returned.
No one knew the name of the song.

Communication breakdown at the radiohead concert
It's 814pm and radiohead just came on
And then the music stopped. Literally.
Stopped cold. Complete audio blackout for a full 30secs. The band played on. Completely unaware of the musical confusion that embroiled their audience.
oh, and my phone hasn't worked since i walked into this place. there are so many signals in the air, I'm surpised our heads don't pop off like so much viral-pop-corn.
