¡Carambolage Rocks! (Apparently)

Gather the barber shop quartet! Roll the Drums! Fire the Works! Open the ball! Vote Hillary! Raise the topmast! Scour the Plank! Split the Atom!


Shiver me timbers! That brought on quite a bit of nonsensical jubilation, finding that iCeah of Wow Legs has nominated Carambolage as a Kick-Ass Blog. In fact I jubilated all through yesterday, pausing only to reflect on Microsofts new Ad, Shelves I'd like to have, Fembots and Virgin advertising. I jubilated through work and through a small spot of partying.I am still jubilant as I write this!
And now, my speech:
"We've come a long way, yahdiyahdiyah, achievement, blahblah, the people who made this possible, yakyakyak, our sponsors, moohdemoohdemooh, honoured to accept, beehdibeehdibeeh, Mom, God and the stinky state of
Berlin. Thangyouthangyouverymuch."

So thank you for the Award, iCeah, if you didn't have one already, I'd nominate you right back, Meanwhile, my link-list needs some updating.

Also meanwhile, here's how the kick-ass thingue work from Mammadawg:

"
Do you know any bloggers that kick ass?

Maybe they've got incredible, original content. Or they're overflowing with creativity. Is it someone that helps you become a better blogger? Or a bloggy friend you know you can count on? Or maybe it's someone who simply inspires you to be a better person... or someone else who sends you to the floor, laughing your ass off.

Whatever the reason may be, I'm sure you know at least a couple of bloggers that kick ass. Well... why not tell 'em so?

LOVE ON 'EM

Choose 5 bloggers that you feel are "Kick Ass Bloggers"
Let 'em know in your post or via email, twitter or blog comments that they've received an award
Share the love and link back to both the person who awarded you and back to www.mammadawg.com
Hop on back to the Kick Ass Blogger Club HQ to sign Mr. Linky then pass it on!
"
There ARE a couple of blogs that I would like to nominate for this one:

1. Vanhoozerbot, even though he is more of a kick-ass artist than he is a blogger. His sketches have brightened many a morning.
2. Pascal Campion, another artist, for his uplifting blog on the one hand and his website full of funky and fun art and movies.
3. The Guys over at Blogdilla for their quirky ideas, hilarious insight and fun little programs: The Swedish Furniture Name Generator, The Action Hero Generator and many other great ways to waste time.
4. And last, but not least, lunaticadesnuda, for her insights into the worlds of art and advertising, and eye for detail. We may disagree on footy ads, but reading her blog is always a pleasure to me.

And that, as someone once said, is all have to say about that…

Now as promised, I have something slightly special for this post. I assume that at least some of you come here because you enjoy my inane babbling and genial comment on the state of things. So I have decided to upload a story I wrote last year for your reading pleasure and general entertainment. It is talking for a comic book script that I have been working on for a while, that has already yielded some unexpected results.

So, below, I give you the Story of the first Ghost.







Fell free to download and read at your leisure, but please if you want to spread it around refer people to this blog.

This has nothing to do with having too little time. Expect this post to bloat a bit over time, as I am planning something slightly special for this, as soon as I figure out, what the best way to do it is. And in the meantime, back to work!

Comes in handy when blogging, and one of the reasons I started in the first place .-)

That's one I didn't see in your list of reasons to blog: The simple joy of writing and putting your ideas in circulation.

Transmutations of Ankhs, Pixels and Wood

Every delay has its benefit. Wise words indeed. After so many hints, it is finally time for some reveal, as two projects we set in motion at the beginning of the year finally culminate into programme.  First, a couple of words on the we of things: We are, in this case, Spring Lessons, an international group that defines itself thus: " The Spring Lessons Initiative is an international forum for artistic research. It follows and presents current creative developments and cultural projects, explores new forms of civil self-organisation and creates spaces for dialogue and cultural education." What this means in practice is that we have been putting on a series of Events since the end of 2011. We have been very lucky to be able to collaborate with the likes of the MAD couple , AlFilm , Eka3 , From Here To Fame and many more.  We approached this year with the goal of putting on one event a month, exploring, amongst other things, the revolutionary aspects of S

In Taheyya we Trust - How an Egyptian bellydancer found her posthumous stage in Berlin

“You should have winked at her,” Aida said dismissively, as if such a possibility had been imaginable for someone as timid as I was. Tahia Carioca was the most stunning and long-lived of the Arab world’s Eastern dancers (belly-dancers, as they are called today). Edward Said, Farewell to Taheyya My story with Taheyya begins in the summer of 2016, at Bulbuls Café in Görlitzer Str. in Berlin.  It ends two blocks down on Wiener Str 17.  Bulbuls is a café and art space around my corner that I have grown to like to sit in and drink smoothies (1). He had commissiond us- a crew of Syrian and Egyptian artists, as well as myself, to paint the walls inside the café. El Tenneen (the Dragon) is the one who ended up drawing Sheikh Imam, with the help of Salam Alhassan (known as Salahef/ Turtles) and Sulafa Hijazis (whom we call El Hayya/The Snake’s) beamers’ illumination. The Sheikh sits happily in the place to this day and Crew El-Zoo was born. Tenneen had the adv
