Musing, enthusing, libraries, emerging technologies, balancing, being mum.

And I am now fully prepeared for zombie attack...just gotta find me a nice loch with an island in the middle and stock up! :D I love the flashmob ‘big freeze’ in Grand Central by Improv Everywhere (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwMj3PJDxuo), there was a (not so good) one in Edinburgh not so long ago.

I think of the scene in the Fisher King where everyone in Grand Central Station suddenly starts waltzing and then breaks up http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cn9ifIhCIhg . People don't HAVE to dress as zombies or open their umbrellas simultaneously or point to the sky en masse, but then again .... maybe people don't HAVE to be so very grim and proper and everday about their lives either ... *Jean* - I never thought I'd get to use this video clip. Who'd have thought? *Hoi* - would love to see that in Singapore. Everyone seems so polite there I can imagine them just going on with their own business around you. *Meg* - that's just what some of my Perth Twitter friends said - see the note on this image ... http://www.flickr.com/photos/richardgiles/2389685798/in/set-72157604392066520/ Hi *Julie*…To me flashmobs represent a whimsy added to everyday lives.

*Jean* – I never thought I’d get to use this video clip. Who’d have thought?

*Hoi* – would love to see that in Singapore. Everyone seems so polite there I can imagine them just going on with their own business around you.

I began the meme. I hope you don't find them annoying. This one about recommending a popular high school novel will hopefully resonate for you and your readers. Could you check out my post at Quoteflections about five days ago? I reviewed Anderson's Speak for a Grade 9 class. I have bookmarked your site. I had a niece visit your area several years ago - exotic! I would appreciate very much if you could leave a comment at my site. How exciting to share professional insights.

We (maybe 50+ of us) opened our umbrellas in a busy shopping centre for 1 minutes and left. Good fun! I’ve tried the mob thingy years ago when i was in Singapore.
