News flash, people: Just because it turns up in a Google image search does NOT mean it's free for the taking. If you think my pictures are official show material, I'm flattered, but guess what? Image searches SHOW YOU WHERE THE IMAGE CAME FROM. The source page OCCUPIES MOST OF YOUR SCREEN. If it's someone's art portfolio, they probably don't want you using it without their permission!

The first transgression has been resolved by the addition of credit and links, but, based on the perpetrator's professed cluelessness, I expect to see more of this. Gods, somebody fetch me a cluebat.


ETA: The second offending pic is gone. I hope that means the artist took it down of their own accord, but since they never responded to my complaint, it's hard to say.

Last night my Live Video class had our final performance. It went pretty well and was fun and there were a couple of quite nice three-year-old girls there for me to corrupt as well as a super-friendly pit bull puppy with lots of kisses to share. There was a decent crowd for the performance. We finished packing up the equipment at nigh on 1 in the morning. Then the professors bought us beer.

So last Saturday week, I was out with ~ mitya, a friend of hers, and said friend's visiting boyfriend. And as we were pulling into the Blockbuster parking lot, we saw pulling out a Lexus SUV. And everyone was gaping at this extraordinary waste of money, and then I said, to the frank astonishment of all present (including myself), "Hey, mister, how small is your penis?"

I have my moments.

So I just got the CD of the Shrek 1 score (not soundtrack). It's very nice; pretty and/or exciting instrumental music, occasionally punctuated by deliberately annoying singing (to wit, the Information Booth dolls' song, the Merry Men's song, and of course the ever-popular Exploding Bluebird Duet). And I've listened to the score a couple times, and a bizarre and yet eerily plausible idea has developed in my brain:

Shrek: the ballet.

Seriously. I think it could work. Parody aside, it is a fairy tale, and those always make good ballets. The only read difficulty is that some major plot moments, such as the big rasslin' scene, used sountrack songs rather than score pieces, so those gaps would need filling.

This makes me happy.
