Heath Ledger’s Nick Drake video: Black-Eyed Dog
Unfortunately, the video is marred by the incessant nattering of a group of twangy Australian talking heads, some of whom grin in the most merciless fashion while discussing Nick Drake‘s suicide and Heath Ledger‘s depression, no doubt thinking all the while of their ratings. If I find a version without them, rest assured I will post it.
For those who don’t know, Nick Drake
(they take video down, someone re-uploads it; let me know if it goes missing again)

the Animatus Collection: life, death, and Acme
Behold, ye, the poignant, yet magnificent, splendor of Korean sculptor Hyungkoo Lee‘s soul-chillingly beautiful Animatus Collection.
From the ethereal elegance of the Geococcyx Animatus…
To the cunning, resolute malevolence of the Canis Latrans Animatus…
This is a collection destined to haunt your nightmares, and to distort and pervert your formerly peaceful daylight hours with waking dreams of senseless violence, of constant pointless striving, of meaningless ambition thwarted, always thwarted, and, most of all, the gaping, inarticulate silence of the void.

Public Service Announcement: Safe Sex, Ugandan Style!
stolen from nurse myra at the Gimcrack Hospital who stole it, obviously, from rotten.com
That last line’s a doozy, eh?
Let us now review, apropos of nothing in particular, the difference between Theory and Practice.
The distance between theory and practice is always so much smaller in theory than in practice.
Thank you. That concludes today’s Ugandan Discussion.
