The Occasional Solipsist

What's that you say? Video? Am I talking about a music video?

You can bet your Aunt Suzy's ass I am.

On a sidenote I actually have an Aunt Suzy.

Anywho.

Unless you're a teenager or a night hawk, you won't likely have ever heard of this video, so for the deprived out there, I'm linking it. This is the best video of all time. If you're into women at all, even if you're among the closeted crowd out there, you have to see this thing. Nothing but hot, sexy undulating women in smoking hot workout gear circa 1985 pretending to do aerobics. This thing makes me feel like a damn sexist bastard. In the best sense.

And sometimes its good to revel in what you are. You'll see what I mean when you see the video. You can choose to thank me now, later or not at all. If for some reason the link is down, fire up your trusty filesharing app and search for Eric Prydz. I think he's the lucky gimp in the video with all the hotties. Shouldn't have any trouble finding it. Maybe even from me.

Fuck I love being a man. Another thing I love lately is using words like fuck in my writing. But that's a blog for another day.

One thing though. The song itself, if song isn't too strong a word, is a remake of Steve Winwood's Valerie. It is frustratingly catchy and you'll find yourself turning it over in your head at ridiculous moments afterwards. At least you will if you're me, and solipsist that I am.... well I'll get it when I reread this sometime. But I've never been more appreciative of Steve Winwood at any other point in my life. ;)

On another sidenote I am going to try to get to see The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy tonight, or some other time in my near future. Its one of my favourite books ever, and I suppose I have a little trepidation a la Jeff Dech and his 'Utter Refusal Not To See The Lord Of The Rings Movies'. Like Dech and his understandable fear of Jackson totally fucking up a great work, I'm a little concerned that Hollywood will miss some of the more vitriolic satire that Douglas Adams used to describe humanity. It really is a great book, and I'd only like it more if I was a good enough writer to have wrote it first.
