Heather and I are off to Morocco today… So my irregular postings will get regularly more irregular for the next two weeks while we are screaming around the back roads behind the Atlas mountains.
We’re both looking forward to it even though all the stories we’ve heard point to it being a taxing holiday. Probably not quite what either of us needs right now, but it is a chance to extract us from our irregular regularity.
Scot DX|DT pointed this flash cartoon series out to me the other day.
It’s very sweet. Nice art and well animated. All done by the artist in his spare time… a large amount of his spare time!
The fight with the zombie clowns is especially good.
Last weekend I visited Helsinki with Ed and caught up with Matt and Fiona, as well as meeting Chris Heathcoate. Although I didn’t actually see anything too strange I know there is a deep dark heart of weirdness there in Finland. It must be somewhere deep in the woods or in the lakes because it ain’t in the city.
However I did see performing cats on the streets.

One thing we did notice was that all the Finns are forest creatures. They’re all either little pixies or harmless woodland mammals; anyone big and blond must be Swedish. Otherwise the Finns themselves are cute and cuddly but also a little bit frightened looking, If you try to talk to them they look like rabbits stuck in headlights. I think all the Finns in Helsinki must be going through some kind of deep racial memory thing about disappearing into the woods and living in fairy mounds or badger holes… you say hi to someone and they get this look in their eye like they’ll bolt for the nearest tree, but in a real cute way.
And they all have incredibly inbred little dogs.

This woman has a small bear as a pet. Possibly the result of a genetic experiment in some secret lab up beyond the Arctic Circle. It’s disguised as a dog for legal reasons.
