stuff blowing up, that’s what
its kinda scary, but not this scary, more like this scary
[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJsW6ta4X8o]
from a film called Zabriskie Point by Michelangelo Antonioni in 1970
hella wierd, here’s a semi-satisfactory explanation from wikipedia:
“It tells the story of a young couple — an idealistic, free spirited young woman, and an aspiring radical turned fugitive. They meet in the desert under bizarre circumstances, instantly connect with a fearless spirit, and then part with tragic consequences. When the fugitive dies in an attempt to reconcile his minor transgressions with the police his new-found lover’s connection to the corporate and government establishment is psychologically and permanently severed when she visualizes the home of her corporate lover/boss exploding in slow motion.”

more saucy bicycle themed portraits by theFiXFiXFiX
some are quite nice



not sure whether these are to fulfill a photographic passion of semi-clad women on/around bicycles, or whether it is just a veil for the photographer with which to entice pretty ladies to get loose alone with him/her, but either way I’m not complaining

in the shop the other day befell a sad sight indeed
the chap edward james, otherwise known as superted, had fallen from his bicycle the previous night or so whilst on an intoxicated escapade and unfortunately planted himself into london’s famous pavement
the boy had a total of nine stitches to the face, and some considerable bruising around the eye, as well as a yet undiagnosed injury to the wrist. hard luck
hope you heal well and in good time, and ride safe!
