I’ve missed the Nov 5 deadline for the Remember project . Wasn’t all too happy with myself – but then I realized that 5 Nov wasn’t a deadline – it was the birth of a project.
After seeing MadV’s latest video – I’m amped as ever to get it together!

I found this little clip by accident. Americans have a “National Coming Out Day” (October 11), and this post was part of 2007’s “Video Quilt”.
Check it out.

Here’s a brief glimpse of what it’s like trying to communicate with the South African Government. I’ve spent hours on the phone waiting for the Department of Home Affairs to just ANSWER THE PHONE!! “Batho Pele” my ass.

Originally sung by Cilla Black (I think), this version of “If I thought you’d ever change your mind” by Agnetha Faltskog (of ABBA fame) has me by the tearducts.
I’m SO not in the mood for work today…

“An ad campaign for LOUIS VUITTON by Mamoru Hosoda. an updated alice in wonderland, in which a girl, searching for her lost cell phone, floats in a dizzying world of the company’s logos. While waiting to meet her friends outside of a Louis Vuitton store, Aya’s cell phone is eaten by the LV Panda, who then promptly swallows Aya – but the inside of his stomach is gateway to a psychedelic wonderland. Based on characters created by famed superflat artist Takashi Murakami.” YouTube
Correct me if I’m wrong – but isn’t the Superflat art movement anti-consumerist in nature? How horribly fascinating it is to see the perversion of another manifesto by (seemingly all powerful) consumerism.

On the 5th of November you are invited to post a video about what encompasses you as a person, what inspires you, what brings you hope, and most importantly those little things that you may have forgotten.
You may choose any topic, any idea, any person, event or place that you feel people need reminding of. You can use any style and any method to get your message of remembrance across.
The aim of this project is to gather together people from all over the world on one unique day to celebrate the important things that we forget, and to remind each other of what we need to keep ideas alive.
Get ready, be creative – but please don’t post until the 5th November.
Remember, remember
Chin up,
MadV

A little parting shot before I hit the shower and face the day. Whether you love or hate Facebook – you’ll enjoy this video by ‘CollegeHumor’. (And we thought identity theft only happened to people with money?)
