Awesome. The best ever.
and another worthy Rimbaud aping: http://nymag.com/daily/entertainment/2007/08/masked_and_anonymous.html
My cat yawned about 55 seconds in. I thought this wasn’t a good sign. I worried I was misinterpreting the medium. I had been enjoying it. But not quite sure if it was good to be enjoying it. Then she stretched her paw out as if to hit pause but she didn’t. I was very relieved. I thought you might be too.
Yours,
It is good to be enjoying it.
Fantastic. I also made use of David Wojnarowicz’s Rimbaud mask – you can see it here on my blog.

keep up the good work.

A welcome bright spot on YouTube. Nice use of bandwidth!

TRAVIS NICHOLS IS A GENIUS!
I love this. I hope there are plans for more.
