Hmmm, most of row 5, F3 and B4…

They said they'd come back for me if I said anything more.

4 a.m.

Sure enough, wide awake at 4:00 a.m. After watching Mr. Rives enlightening 2007 TED presentation on the 4 a.m. conspiracy (a.k.a., The Giacometti Code) last night before going to bed, I fell victim to it. That’s okay though, being awake gave me some more time to work on a current animation:

European vacation

Partly in preparation for upcoming events at the Ars Electronica Center (more on that soon) and partly to take a long-delayed vacation, Sean and I visited Austria and France in early December.

Above, Sean is drawing one of Michelangelo’s Slaves in the Musée du Louvre.

Rather than duplicate our efforts, we decided to post everything on Sean’s blog: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 and Part 4. The post are heavy with photos and heavier with silliness.

Today’s thought

“It‘s all about knowing which button to push.”

Overheard

As promised, here are some additional choice quotations and exchanges from the construction workers putting a hole in the side of our abode:

“Next questions is, who’s got balls enough to get it up there.”

“I can do it right or left, it don’t matter to me.”

“I don’t want any one gettin’ hurt, especially on the head.”

A: “If that falls on me, I’m gonna hit you upside the head.”
B: “If it falls on you, you ain’t gonna be able to.”

A: “You were looking up my skirt. Tell the truth.”
B: “I had my eyes closed.”
A: “You were looking up my skirt.”

I don’t spend my day eavesdropping, really, I don’t.

All I did was take a nap…

…when I woke up, there was a hole in our wall!

Okay, I am being dramatic. I didn’t sleep through a hole being knocked in our building. I did nap through some of it. My napping abilities border on narcoleptic.

[Overheard, from one of the contractors:
“That Martha Stewart hammer you got ain’t gonna do it.”]

We are knocking a hole from the inside to the outside courtyard. When I write “we”, I mean that the contractors are knocking a hole in the wall. I am watching and covering my ears.

Sean is keeping a more detailed, brick-by-brick account…

Take care,
