After all the grumbles about Eurovision this year, let us get our EuroGrooves on with Sebastien Tellier. Soothes all known bloc-voting arguments.

What's going on?

The Pole
Well, May is what's been going on round here. As has been noted elsewhere, I ended up dancing round a May Pole, orange ribbon in hand. It was hard work. I've also been boating and birding in Arundel, and Bluebelling in Arlington. Walking through them, not picking them, obviously.

I've been reading, and enjoying, Ken's novel. I've been thrashed at Mario Kart by two different eleven year olds. I stayed in a B&B with just simply the best breakfast. I watched all three of the Indiana Jones trailers today, and I've calmed down and started enjoying Doctor Who.

Summer was coming, actually, it was here, but went today, when the drizzle came back. It's time for bed now. In summary: new blog look, well done Rog, more later.

Intimate

Thursday, 15. May 2008, 22:25:17

I've seen an audience rehersal of Intimate Encounters, and could see that it has a lot of potential. I'm looking forward to seeing the whole performance in the unique set.

New Venture Theatre, Brighton, 20 - 25th May.

EDIT- And having now experienced it, I would recommend it, and left the theatre blissed out, and very relaxed.

Flicking through YouTube's selection of old French Television 'generiques', I find the classic title sequence for Starsky et Hutch. At some point at the dubbing stage it was decided that what viewers to TF1 needed was a new theme tune. Sung. In french.

Elsewhere we find Jean-Michel Folon's seminal start of day sequence for Antenne 2 (contrast with the grooves going on over on TF1). Antenne 2 ran Folon's sequence everyday from the channel's birth in 1975 until 1984, although by the eighties, they were 'enhancing' the closedown variant with a caption and the ubiquitous french tv digital clock.

Four-way Kart-off

Sunday, 9. March 2008, 18:57:48

So we finally had a Mario Kart DS online game.

Me against Leon, Tanya, and, live from Japan, Simon. Leon was the king, although, as ever, he was very lucky with his power-ups. ;-)

It was great fun (once we got the connection sorted), and bodes well for the online treats in store when Mario Kart Wii comes out in April.
