Into the Blue

Step by aching stepson
And you’ve fallen to the blue
And you’ve fallen to the blue
Oh I’m coming down for you
Step by aching stepson
And I’ll lead you by the hand
And we’re falling to the blue
Oh I’m coming down for you
Oh I’m coming down for you
But I’m falling, deeper down I go
And I’m falling, down grounds beneath the road
Down I’m falling, deeper down I go
And I’m falling, deeper down I kdown
And I’m falling, deeper down the shore
And I’m falling, as the rocks way down below
As the rocks way down below
As the rocks way down below

Leo

We have a field full of poppies next to my house. This is my 4 years old niece. I took those photos yesterday in the morning. Me and Cristina had a great time together. Both of us on pajamas.

Ms O, from a very classic, natural set of portraits by one of the best new photographers, Daniel Jackson, in the past issue of T.

Haven't you been hearing train-related questions on Jeopardy for years? Well, I decided that it's finally time to get in on those jokes. I am currently reading Anna Karenina

Please note Leo’s attire above. Fantastic! A Russian Fashion icon

I am tremendously loving the work of Marc Johns

''Space,

Raymond Kurzweil's The Singularity Is Near
bombs and
deep-sea diving''
are the things that have inspired The Oxford fivesome's second brilliant album.

I know a place where i can go, when i'm low

We fly balloons on this fuel called Love.

It's really hard to say something bad about Disney-Pixar. They always seem to come up with pretty original ideas: Monsters Inc, Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Ratatouille, WALL-E were heartfelt. Yesterday, just a while before i sleep, i stumbled upon the trailer of Pixar's new movie, ''Up''. Oh my god, it is magic. A fantastic trailer and what a great story. I really feel like this movie is not going to let us down! It is this kind of trailers that guarantees an amazing movie. I can safely presume that Pixar has done it again. I love the fantastical imagery and bright colors. The character of the grumpy old Carl Fredricksen has been growing on me more and more, after watching the trailer about 20 times by now. The movie is scheduled for release on May 29, 2009!

The way Carl Fredricksen delivers ''no'' in that scene it's priceless

Up's trailer reminds me a video i found about 3 months: Tiji The Balloon.A Beautiful and simple storytelling, perfectry animated and timed, which anwers my eternal long lost question of what happens to floating unobserved balloons. Lets just ignore those laws of physics. (hehe)

Watching ''Tiji The Balloon'', i remembered the Lamarisse's masterpiece ''Le ballon Rouge'', a rare gem of French cinema. A thirty minute film, with minimal dialogs, about the power of love and friendship. The balloon regenerate itself in an endless flow of passion. The most enchanting and moving short produced film in history. You can watch it here in a very bed quality though.

And talking about passion, here are some balloon photos of my passionate photographer (i <3 onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgB0uJa2c0g6yzfwZYvYgC6VkU69s8nMHmF1W-1om2NlzDQxFoxX2LoonGlhKNPNr_7JVqU8yZFl8xtZvhvOdmj4L6BwP6tIIGsVw8dz5FGYmbpPBTNva6kwFrhu_ckO3QqBGXz8AQpAwU/s1600-h/ballons+5.jpg">Photo By Francisco Blanco
