Inside she was really, really deep. Infact she was so deep she decided to build in a stairway so people could come watch her rich inner life. Three years later, for everyone´s convenience, she upgraded the facilities and installed an elevator. It was in 2005 she eliminated all that. She had discovered she was far too deep to be dealing with something as profane as humans.CRISTOSOVAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12276461139015685966noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15068756.post-89553204735791588812007-01-10T00:26:00.000+01:002007-01-31T12:28:08.945+01:00SMENITA MADE ME DO ITI am calling for the official Smenita Night.

What if you could choose between swapping identities with someone from another country or have them legally swap their social security numbers? The new "Global Identity Swap Office" (GISO) in Loontown is giving you a choice. <br /><br />"Sure it sounds like the invention of yet another awkward reality TV show", Loontown´s Mayor Franklin Upward admits. "But what we have here is a tribute to modern life. Everyone wants to come to Loontown these days and we are willing to accept new faces more smug than us. But in order to regulate our limited regional space we need to rid ourselves of as many old crickets as we get new ones." Hinkel Doorden from the GISO agency explains the elegant simplicity of the swapping procedure. "First you place your ad and preferred swap country and even preferred time limit with us and wait with what matches we come up. If you already have a potential swap partner from abroad you bring in both party´s identities and wait for a go from us. The "True Willingness Detector" will than trace your determination and if you pass that test next thing you know you have a new identity." <br /><br />Within five hours of its opening the office already is Loontown´s busiest hot spot agency. Beetles are squished into long lines. What makes this new offer so attractive, we ask Joseph Boredom Jr., the town´s wealthiest nest builder. He explains that however much independently you grow up, society has built a frame of definition around you that makes it difficult for personal change. "I have long accepted that people take me for a reliable nest builder unable to hold a tune. But frankly, I want to start anew, I want to sing. You may believe I am a sturdy dung beetle good with wood, but inside I am all cicada!" <br /><br />"It is an interesting experiment", Mayor Franklin Upward says. "And we don´t even need to change our immigration law." <br /><br />GISO is only the latest installation in a series of new and exiting bureaucratic establishments. When asked what is next on his agenda the Mayor twinkles with delight:"Well, why", he says. "It is of course the TICA (TERMINAL IDENTITY CHANGE AGENCY). We are looking to extinct the fruit flies!"CRISTOSOVAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12276461139015685966noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15068756.post-1162718874970131762006-11-05T10:25:00.000+01:002006-11-05T10:36:58.660+01:00UNWANTED ATTENTION...<img src="http://scifi.pages.at/loontown/hermit1.jpg"><br /><br />.<br />.<br />.<br /><br /><img src="http://scifi.pages.at/loontown/hermit2.jpg">CRISTOSOVAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12276461139015685966noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15068756.post-1162110555481149762006-10-29T10:26:00.001+01:002007-12-31T19:20:07.475+01:00WIND<img src="http://scifi.pages.at/loontown/wind.gif"><br /><br />She didn´t know of what good it was that the answer was blowing in the wind since she was too busy hanging on to the next big tree to catch it.CRISTOSOVAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12276461139015685966noreply@blogger.com25tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15068756.post-1161761155915383792006-10-25T09:25:00.000+02:002007-12-31T19:19:48.865+01:00GHOST<img src="http://scifi.pages.at/loontown/ghost.jpg"><br /><br />Upon returning she was invited back to her old self.

You could say that part of the job is to be a talent scout. Getting to know the people in this area is also getting to know their qualities and talents - and from there we see how we can cooperate. Our performance will be staged on the balconies and facades of a high rise building that is prone to destruction next year. (At this point a little more over half of the residents have already moved out to renovated flats... thats what they call urban redevelopment.) <br /><br />Some of you might remember that I have been named (or named myself ;) movement coordinator for my group and got to see several local dance groups. I was especially impressed by the Indian temple dancers. Since we needed a love scene for our performance and so many of the kids I worked with adore Bollywood movies, I asked some of the Indian girls if they could do a Bollywood scene for me. The girls were immediately set on fire and we worked out a short film script. The story is simple: a young woman walks with her friends over the willows and catches sight of a young attractive man standing on the balcony of a high rise building. First he does not notice her, but when they start dancing it doesn´t take long before he catches on, too. When the dance is finished a chase through the building begins. Both are looking for each other, racing through hallways, opening doors, looking down balustrades. <br /><br />We really just had very little time for shooting but since the girls worked so hard (they did all of the choreography themselves and were extremely patient during the shooting) everything worked out well. In front of the building is a huge green willow where they performed and we shot from high up as well as eye to eye. There is a scene that looks so eerie, as if the girls dance between the buildings, all being the same size.<br /><br />A few scenes...<br /><br /><img src="http://scifi.pages.at/loontown/bw1.jpg"><br /><br />I had incredible fun doing this (and got a sunburn on the second day of shooting!) - and I think so had everybody else.CRISTOSOVAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12276461139015685966noreply@blogger.com16tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15068756.post-1157385190502219752006-09-05T17:52:00.000+02:002006-09-04T17:53:10.526+02:00"SAFE" IS AN ILLUSION<img src="http://scifi.pages.at/loontown/safe.gif"><br /><br />so...CRISTOSOVAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12276461139015685966noreply@blogger.com17tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15068756.post-1157368260998475382006-09-04T13:08:00.000+02:002007-01-31T12:04:33.715+01:00THIS IS A FLOWER.
