sleep :: max :: sleep

right now is project land in my life, the final part of my degree is pretty much due and as ususual i have left a lot of it till the last minute. I am working to link music to colour and visualisations, using colour and music theroy from all the way back to newton, scriban and kandisky, to make a computer prototype to process a dj's audio to make everyone have a better night out when they are clubbing.

unfortunately it involves quite a lot of complicated maths and annoying computer problems, but on the plus side my demonstration next wednesday is in a night club. (Soul Cellar 9pm if you are within "can be arsed" distance of southampton)

i am also really looking forward to my first ever snowboarding trip next friday :)

There is a nation which is trying to work with its people and stabalise its economy but it is attacked by foreign rebels and because its farmers must fight falls into drought.
One night the bbc have a special appeal for the situation...
A minister is watching the program, feels sorry for the people but remembers he has a sermon to write for sunday and switches off his tv.
A youth worker is watching the program and thinks how the kids arent so different from the ones he works with, but deciedes he had better stay in touch with youth culture and flicks on to MTV.
A gay junkie is lying on his sofa zoned out, when the program comes on, but it touches him, he hunts around on the floor, finds his mobile calls the number and gives half his dole money to the appeal. A few months down the line he reads the news letter from the charity he supported and gives away another half share of his months money to the replanting of fields to prevent drought in the following year.

which of these people was a neighbour to the people caught in drought?

Click on the pic for an awesome animation from some random frenchies. The clip is good enough to justify a whole post but I have also now applied to go an do the spiritual excercises of St. Ignatius in the summer, which would be awesome, its 30 day retreat down in dublin run by the jesuits... BLAM!
