MONKEY DOMINOES!

From the Wii game released in North America if not anywhere else as Domino Rally; I can't say anything either way for it as a game (even whom the developer of it is has eluded me) but I know that I'm powerless to resist circulating the above still.

Current music: Baroque 'n' roll; Handel is EVERYWHERE (n.b. concept of "everywhere" may be somewhat distorted due to having got out very little this last week) and a generalised stereotype of the style of his arias, being in themselves something of a de-localised cumulation of baroque ones in general, seems ripe as medium in which to poke fun, even if it's already been done on at least one occasion by Misters Gilbert and Sullivan (in as much as "Oh, false one, you have deceived me" from The Pirates of Penzance comes to mind but perhaps I'm due to inexperience reading too specificity into that).

AniPages Daily recently posted reviews of Gwen, le livre de sable, bringing probably more knowledge of Jean-François Laguionie's first feature into the English language than there has ever been before, and new-ish feature My Dog Tulip. And though I don't like to be simply reposting news here, there are some things I cannot resist, and one of those is a teaser page for a new YUASA Masaaki-directed series.

Oh, and talking of new series, I now realise that I've still haven't posted this here, from Nord-Ouest ProductionCurrent music: Emily Loizeau – "Coconut Madam"
