La Grúa y la jirafa

<3 <3 <3 <3 <– clicky

And if you any significant interest in animation, you need need need to see this. This sounds kind of interesting as well, though doesn't seem to have been released outside of France and I'm too sure if the concept is enough to support a whole feature film.

Current music: Rimsky-Korsakov – Scheherazade

News

I. I finally watched Kirikou et la sorcière, and now I can't beeping wait for Azur et Asmar.

II. I may be closing down or at least moving Jade Ring in the foreseeable future, in order to switch to a more economical ISP.

III. If I decide to give up on Jade Ring it's because I'm starting on a new and much better, or at least more focused site, tentatively titled Le Palais des dessins animés. I can't decide weather to host it on Elwiki.com (which uses MediaWiki and has the promise of a .net or .org address for successful Wikis) or another free site which has forums and customisable templates. Unfortunately for the latter of those, I can't remember its name or URL.

IV. If you haven't already noticed, I've recently become obsessed with both "classical" music (it's really more late romantic and modern) and French animation.

V. Both Seaming To and Stravinsky's Les Noces are coming to Leeds. Very excited about those as well. Haven't booked yet and need to.

V. I am too far behind with real work, and Blogging doesn't help.

Current music: The Tchaikovsky & Stravinsky Experience on BBC Radio 3. I <3 BBC Radio 3. But I need a radio tuner for my iPod or something similar, because otherwise I can only hear it through my computer.
