Making Language Strange

Alison and I went to see a really great dance performance tonight by a group called Liquid Loft. The piece was titled "Running Sushi," and was "about" manga and the Superflat movement in Japanese art. A lot of the short scenes that made it up relied on the two dancers syncing their movements incredibly precisely with recorded sound effects and spoken word bits. Very impressive and hilarious and evocative. Go and see it, if you have a chance. Here's what some of it was like:



But anyway, so then we watched the latest episodes of Project Runway and New Girl, and now it's too late for any kind of substantial wordiness. My fallback position when I don't have much to say is to post some kind of Smiths video, and luckily Amber just sent me this perfect one, so enjoy.
