I seriously can’t stop watching this video. It has infected my brain, it has taken over my world. I can’t make a waffle without humming it, and I will never look a box of “Grape Nuts” (Nuts of Grape!) the same.

““Lately I feel like somebody made a big mess and I’ve got my mop and I’m mopping the floor and the folks who made the mess are there (saying) ‘you’re not mopping fast enough. You’re not mopping the right way. It’s a socialist mop.’””

I started this Tumblr because I kept finding amazing things and wanted to highlight them but didn’t want to overcrowd my personal blog. I think it doesn’t matter, though, so much, anymore.

Thus, henceforth, everything here will also be featured on TheAmberShow, maybe in a slightly different format, and maybe exactly the same. I’d scrap this blog completely, but I’ve fallen for Tumblr, and I don’t want to let go.

This is from Berlin’s, multi-day performance by France’s Royal de Luxe street theater. It’s called “The Berlin Reunion” and is part of the celebrations of the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. The show featured two huge marionettes, each controlled by a set of “Lilliputians” (members of the theater). The Big Giant is a deep-sea diver, and his niece is the Little Giantess. They were separated for many years by a wall that was built by “land and sea monsters”. The Big Giant went on a journey to destroy the wall, and has returned. Now he and his niece are walking the streets of Berlin, trying to find each other after being apart for years. The photos are stunning, and it’s easy to believe that these puppets are actually alive.

see more photos here, and a video here.

My favorite thing is how the posed the giants in between nights, with the Little Giantess nestled in her uncles arms, and both of them with their eyes closed.

Remember this? It rocked my world.

heyitsnoah:

Wow, this was the first page of the speech William Safire, who died Sunday, wrote for Nixon in the event Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin got stranded on the moon. The last paragraph reads: “In ancient days, men looked at stars and saw their heroes in constellations. In modern times, we do much the same, but our heroes are epic men of flesh and blood.”
