I agree. I incorporated into the Bonk Busines Inc. comic mythology for this reason.

But, on the other hand, I find all fiction fascinating. Especially when it oscillates around peoples' ill-informed perceptions - which is basically what life is about ;-)

Bonk Business!

Ah!  I needed that.

Ill-informed perceptions.  Ouch!

Where did you find it? We took everything off the web in '93! It was the first HTML website in Finland for Tele (then the state telecoms company)

We still have a site for our museum in Uusikapunki http://www.bonkcentre.fi/p2_eng.htm - so I guess you found it there ;-)

I googled bonk business, clicked images, and there it was.

You are part of that?  KEWL!

I co-founded it, with the painter of the picture above. The project took nearly 7 years of my life more-or-less full time, and we still have 15000 visitors a year to the museum ;-)

Great diary BTW. I am only sad that the TV series is taking so much of my TIME that it is hard to be here. But I try to check in every day - if only to read.

Tomorrow we have the first preview for journalists. You don't have a McCain critic-proof vest about your person, perchance?

Do you have to be there?  Man of Mystery...never turns up.

Or wear a ridiculous hat and keep a straight face...

Surely they wouldn't criticise it while you're there though?  That's what their articles will be about.

So...avoid buying newspapers while the moon swims between the dolphin and the newt.

I had considered that option, but I got the news today at 13.30 that one of our stars had a heart problem and was in fairly intensive care. I may be partly responsible, because I decided to continue with an outdoor shoot on Monday evening in +2 degress and cold drizzle. So I shall have to turn up tomorrow to handle that.

It was not an easy decision. It was the last night of the funfair where I had got permission to shoot, before they go up north on tour and become inaccessible to our budget.

Our actor was the leading figure in This rock band of the Seventies. The name of the band means 'Mad John'. You can understand why I would be attracted to them ;-)

It's a TV series, have I got that right?  When's it going out?  And when are the (hopefully subtitled) youtube clips going to appear?

(Boo hoo!  No flash chez rg.  No youtube.  No videos.  The most moving my computer gets is a .gif animation.)

(Especially annoying when now is the time I could watch great videos of the various cycles of earth, moon, sun, stars...)

(Luckily I have sun-venus-moon doing their dance outside my window at the moment, though it's more like the end of a friendship...the moon arriving ever later...Venus going ever earlier...until next time round...which will be over a year, I think--my astonomical calculating device--YE NOGGIN--need oiling.)

(Sip...ah.)

I think you are as sceptical as I am: but unlike others, you are prepared to juggle with decent alternative explanations until such time that they are proved truly fallacious - though they would still exist as a product of some sub-group of humans' imagination. Thus just as real, IMO, as anything else.

Unless one is prepared to learn to jump effortlessly between so-called 'reality' and so-called 'fiction', I think the chances of finding love and happiness in this world are rather slim. ;-)

We've both found that, don't you agree? Not together, of course. I couldn't co-habit with someone who decorated all the time ;-)
