Everyone who knows me knows that the only thing I love to watch more than sheep shearing, is glass blowing. It's hypnotic to me. I could watch a Dale Chihuly documentary on his glass art all day long and he is the master of Glass. Downloading Season Two off the Netflix now. This looks fun.
Blown Away is a Canadian production, and that explains a lot about its affable pleasantness. Even when glass does break on this show, it’s usually okay. No one bleeds. A piece can usually be salvaged. And when you’re watching while in quarantine, the best part of seeing a mess of shards on the floor is knowing you don’t have to move a muscle. Someone else is going to clean it all up.
Here’s the thing, I’m so goddamn tired of competition shows and the people having meltdowns. I’d sooner watch a good PBS documentary on Dale Chihuly or some other glass artist. They try to lure you in with cool knife making or special effects make-up but it always boils down to some mook whining and throwing a tantrum.
I agree with you that you have to watch Chihuly if you love glass because the guy is amazing..I hope this one is not full of too many tantrums. I just have to see because I am fascinated by glass blowing.
I forever stand vigilant to protect this planet from the myriad of forces that are always against us. Be it the octopus, zombies, aliens or the robots my team of human agents, and our feline allies, circle the globe in a never ending struggle for human freedom.
I learn all I can on every subject that interests me. I especially enjoy ancient history because in the past there are valuable lessons to be found. Also, if I ever get my time machine to work properly, it would be good to know a bit about possible destinations and what to expect when I get there.
I greatly appreciate beautiful design. Be it manufactured or found naturally I am fascinated by the process of invention. I am attracted to the unique, the strange, the haunted. I like to share what I find on this blog.
And not let us forget the 'Cephalopod Menace' who, if allowed to, would wrap their tentacles around all that is good and pure in this life and crush it until it remained no more. They are creatures of pure spite. Hate is all they know. Death is all they do. They are our most ruthless and determined enemy.
So we fight. Selena has the celebrity contacts, the cat is ruthless and without pity, Roosevelt's ghost has the experience and I do the wetwork.
Fighting for the future of the planet doesn't have to be a chore, however. We can take the time to appreciate all that is cool in this world even as we cut the octopus into bite sized chunks.
This is the reason there has always been and must forever be, a Cave of Cool. Be sure to wipe your feet before you enter.
