And this - I never knew what it was called - was also shown with Powers of Ten and Neighbors, way back when! It looked to me at the time like "chalk board" animation. That is, drawn and redrawn on a chalk board for each frame.

This always sounded different from the other tracks on that album, and more like a "Bond Theme", like just when the helicopter flies over the ridge and on the other side is the impressive secret base.

I still have my copy of this. As BoargameGeek describes it:

I still have my copy of this. As BoargameGeek describes it:

"A unique board, showing four arms of a galaxy spiraling out from an infinity center (which is the end of game mechanism), plus 144 miniature full color tiles for space, life and time. The second edition included a long box and a "simulated leather bound" 1-piece bi-fold game board.
Each player collects tiles and builds planets and moons, then a full civilization in miniature full color tiles along his/her arm of the galaxy. Playing more tiles from the hand earns scoring points. Black Holes and Disasters to thwart opponents, and a unique tile-drawing mechanism for building your universe are also featured."

Stay by me
And make the moment last
Please take these lips
Even if I have been kissed
A million times

And I don't care if there is no tomorrow
When I could die here in your arms
Even if the stars have made us blind
We're blind we're blind
So blind in love

Sweet darling
Don't you know that we're no different to anyone
We stumble
We falter
But we're no different than anyone

And all the winter snow has melted down
Into a pool of silver water
And we were standing in a thunder cloud
Dark as your hair
Dark as your hair

I'm noticing that RAGE playlist this morning looks like it may be inspired by tonight's Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras march. Shan't be going tonight, either as a marcher or as audience. Too much trouble and strife for little return. It's a great event if you live in Sydney, and/or are cis Gay/Lesbian.

But as someone who marched in 13 of these things, I'm OVER IT. Partly some of this has to do with music - I find most of the "bouncy ballads" dull and monotonous compared to the Goth stuff I used to hear at the nightclubs. Most of it's "music to flirt/fuck by". There's nothing wrong with that, but mostly for me it's dull as ditch-water (which is why I stopped going to Queer nightclubs, I was bored shitless).

None of which will stop me from watching some of the march on the SBS broadcast Sunday night. But of course that DOESN'T involve a long trip down to Sydney, a long wait either way for the march to start, potential panic attacks (BIG crowds bring that out in me if I'm not with friends), a long trip home on crowded trains full of grumpy/tired/people or arseholes who reveal what they really think of the parade, and either a long wait for a bus that comes hours later, discovery of one's car broken into, or an expensive taxi ride home.

Otherwise, I wish anyone going to this in any capacity to have a good time.
