Stop-Motion

Hi everyone! Hi!

Sorry it's been a little while. I've been busy doing stuff like... a little stop-motion video for Diplodocus by the ol' solo project Waitress for the Bees. It's my first ever crack at animation so, um, blah blah disclaimer etc.

Fun though! I just kind of wish the dance routine bit went on longer. Longer and longer. Maybe I'll make another one for another song...? (Full-screen for Full-fun.)

Rage, rage against the

So, I'm doing a recording session gig this weekend, for The Heavy . (Who are _great_ and one of my favourite groups to work for of all time. But that's a topic for another post.) And one of the songs we're working on has a line that goes "Cause if you're going to fight, find something worth fighting for." (Or something like that. I was busy playing my viola and adjusting my headphones, so, that's probably not word-perfect.

Last night I had some lovely friends over to get beaten at Settlers of Catan (Cs & Ks edition) and after the game, we got into talking, talking about these THINGS that, as we get older, creep over us more and more. These _causes_. For my friend last night it was parenting education. For me it is Empowerment of Women. Maybe yours is Urban Cycling, or Preservation of Wild Space etc etc. These causes inflame us, the very mention of them makes us passionate and full-of-fire-and-opinion-and-hope, for, we're sure, they can change the world.

If only we knew how to let them.

And that's the thing. We all have them, these things. And Want To Do Something About Them. But. How? I know. Look for small things you can do within your own community, blah, blah. But I don't want to. I want to save the world. Right now. You too? So how do we do that?

(I guess, for my part, to start, there's this: )
