This little film shows Tuesday's simulcast between the London and New York OCCUPY communities. I flew out to the encampment at St. Paul's Cathedral, and we sang the 99% song together, across the Atlantic - what a wonderful moment!

i love weird things; always have. one day, while browsing through imdb, I hit the mother lode when I discovered the mid-80's Russian scifi-comedy film ``Kin-Dza- Dza'', which currently has a 7.9 rating, VERY high for a sci-fi film. here are a few lines from the wikipedia article about it:

Laughter is the best medicine. Sustained happiness and joy arise out of one's ability to cultivate a positive psychological environment within themselves.

"The world is like a ride at an amusement park, and when you choose to go on it, you think it's real, because that's how powerful our minds are. And the ride goes up and down and round and round and it has thrills and chills and it's very brightly colored and it's very loud. And it's fun, for a while....But it doesn't matter, because... it's just a ride, and we can change it any time we want."
