not normal

Shalom,

Another week almost down the drain, but worth checking out for at least a minute is this new short film by Blu (?), an ambiguous animation painted on public walls in Buenos Aires. You're at the beginning. Very ambiguous.

Impressive Magic Trick
Master Magician Kevin James performing at the Las Vegas "callbacks" on America's Got Talent. I wonder if it would hold up to the scrutiny of a close play in the NFL?

Genghis Khan Massage Chair
Who doesn't love a massage chair? These vibrating wonders provide relaxation and stress relief while you watch your favorite TV show. And models with multiple settings give you a variety of rubdown styles: Swedish, deep tissue — and Japanese? This two-minute clip from a Japanese variety program shows just how relaxing a chair massage can be. Unless, of course, the chair is straight out of Stephen King's attic.

Exorcist spiderwalk
You get pretty much what it said on the label, and not something to try at home for most of us that sit on our butts most of the day.

Shattered glass
The Who's classic "Baba O'Riley" (you know -- "Teenage Wasteland") entirely with Windows sounds and effects. An impressive piece of work, though possibly devastating to the a audiophile.

Enjoy and have a good weekend.
