So basically, you shoot a potato from a cannon, through a wall of butter

And following on yesterday I was so wiped out that I canceled on a singing gig this afternoon in favor of sleeping until after two o'clock. Have some more links.

1. I was previously unfamiliar with the art of Roger Dautais, but since some of it resembles tidepool mummies, I'm in favor. He reminds me of Andy Goldsworthy, too, but with fewer dry stone walls, more ocean.

2. I don't know Wang Xuerou and Hao Ruoqi, either, but they perform stunning narrative dance. I must say that the plot of the film which inspired this number looks, at least according to Wikipedia summary, also pretty damn queer. A fox spirit is involved.

3. Funnier than its title, also not: from the New York Times' series of Op-Eds from the Future, Jeff VanderMeer's "It's 2071, and We Have Bioengineered Our Own Extinction."

4. Well, this installment of Existential Comics lands close to home: "Wittgenstein at the Doctor."

5. "Best predatory journal spam invite ever." I am especially fond of the comment "Laugh all you want but Keyword is a field whose time has come."

I may or may not even stare at a movie. I have this cat.

How does the tsar sleep?

Push him into a room full of feathers. A soldier stands outside, guarding the door, shouting "Quiet! Quiet! the tsar is sleeping."

I like the Wittgenstein cartoon. It's a little too true, though.

Keyword is clearly a burgeoning field!

Of the Roger Dautais pieces, I like the one with the knotted grass a whole lot.

Keyword is definitely a field in the ascendant.

It is so good that you have that cat!

I have failed to clean my glasses properly. and so misread the title of the cartoon "Wittgenstein AS the Doctor." This did not prepare me, but perhaps nothing could have.

That thread was pretty cheering. (I'm grateful). ♥

That dance sequence is absolutely amazing! As are the tidepool mummies, wow.
