It's like you're in the bath, just having a chat.<br/>Reminded me (though very different) from a Bullemhead video called Cleanse that I saw at Pixelodeon, where Adam Quirk is just freeforming thoughts in the bath and recording them for Raymond Kristiansen.<br/>I saw that new Xacti at Pixelodeon, too. There was a japanese couple there, and they both had waterproof E1s and they showed me video of them out in the surf on Santa Monica beach the day before. Amazing.<br/>I wonder whether people everywhere talk about the weather... I've not noticed it so much outside Britain & Canada. <br/><br/>I always thought of always talking about the weather as being a very British thing, and was surprised when I found the Canadians did it too. But apart from our shared culture, the BC climate is very close to ours... ie mostly grey and rainy, but occasionally unpredictably nice, so perhaps that's why - and maybe we wouldn't talk about it if it was consistent and nice all the time. I can't imagine they talk about the weather much in LA. "Oh, sunny again today." "Yup." Maybe they do. Maybe they have different gradations of sunny, like the Inuit have dozens of words for types of snow. I love this. It’s like you’re in the bath, just having a chat.
