My fine Finn friend Kattidya ("Miia," as I mentioned recently) referred this afternoon to a gamer personage named Tavish DeGroot. Well, I was curious so I Googled -- finding myself plunged into that arcane world for a half-hour! One small trophy of that expedition is a delicious kind of cartoon by Gigi d'Agostino, called "the Riddle" -- Read more... )

There's another short cartoon by Gigi D' Agostino that's pretty cool, "Blablabla" -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZ2lWyTi0oY

Both videos are from a place called Filmbilder ["Bilder" are pictures -- nothing to do with "builder" in English].. "We're an animation studio in Stuttgart, Germany, and we've been around for more than twenty years now..."

I was interested to see you equate your tags with the tarot. Some years ago I had a friend who was heavily into the tarot cards. She didn't buy into what she called 'mystical flapdoodle', but she felt that the deck was a very good way of seeing into her own mind. Contemplating the images allowed one to see truths that the conscious mind was unable to see. This is rather in the way that dreams can sometime express the things that are troubling us in symbolic fashion: People that I know have mentioned dreams that they had, and more than once I've felt that I can see what the dream images might represent, whilst they seem totally blind to them. By boiling down your posts to a handful of words, those words can end up expressing a great deal or truth. Less can sometimes be more.

You know, re-reading my comments back there, it occurs to me that it sounds as though I'm saying I want you to post less. Nothing could be further from the truth! Just so you know, I always enjoy your posts.

Thanks -- I had no problem with anything you say here. ("As long as you spell my name right...") Was it your comment on my playing with those old tags??

Re your thoughtful discussion, comparing my tags with the Tarot -- I meant to comment yesterday but, alas, got distracted! It was something about how some of my tags are naughty enough that I find myself resisting their re-use...not wanting to just say "slut" (or any of a half-dozen others) and seem to be sneering at whatever I had been happily posting.

Making me wonder what posts I'd originally applied them to. I shall go check that out...

Tavish Finnegan DeGroot is a character from the first- person shooter MMORPG game Team Fortress 2 and I have a huge crush on him, sometimes I imagine him as my lover and husband :3

And like I mentioned in a comment earlier, I love using all these imaginative tags for different matters :B

Thank you, Miia! You showed me a part of the gaming world that I'd missed -- not least Gigi d'Agostino's great cartoons. (Though I forget just HOW I got from DeGroot to d'Agostino...)

I'm so pleased you've grabbed hold of my silly gizmo, the tags-that-STILL-say-something. (Which reminds me: I was going to respond to Gary's observations about my tagging...)

Kisses, J
