I've been pretty busy lately, working on PB Winterbottom, building a site for my ICT project, keeping Hush going, writing and revising endless documents for The Cache, and last but not least, appreciating the British weather.
Sometimes in such states all we need is something mildly miraculous to distract us completely and utterly.
I just spent thirty minutes staring at this animation, wondering if I was going crazy.
I love illusions, especially when they work... they are a reminder that we, as Experiencers of the Universe, were sort of built out of duct tape. This one REALLY worked for me. For ten full minutes I was convinced that it was... ONE thing. Then after beating my brain into submission, I was sure it was.... the other. Now I can't go back... unless I look away from the page for a full minute or so.
So thank you to Hutson, discoverer of all good things, for hijacking my attention span on this gray gray day.

Thanks for the shout-out!
Heads up though; the coming post might make you squeamish...

I've seen this thing before. Usually I can make it change direction at whim, which is kind of neat when you can scratch it back and forth like a DJ, only your eyes are half focused you're breathing through your mouth (maybe a touch of drool?).
Except now, it's only going one direction, and I'm too tired to change it, and now I'm sad. Why won't it go the other way?
