side note: while scooping up pics of these bad boys on the web i came across several ways to cook cuttlefish, its a part of the local Indonesian diet (discovered a recipe for kung pao cuttlefish) I'm guessing the taste like squid? Also found out that along with their cephalopod cousins octupuses squids and nautiluses, their brains and central nervous systems are more complex than those of fish and reptiles. And if my fascination couldn't grow any more, the origin of the cuttlefish's name comes from the old English word cudele, derived from the Norwegian word koddi, meaning testicle.

I Know I've Been Here Before, I Know It

I found this bit on youtube while looking up Gus Van Sant. He is one of only a handful of directors right now creating pieces of artwork with their films. Every work of his is a sensory masterpiece that pieces a story together seamlessly. This video made of clips from a few of his films, appropriately titled Youth, shows the frailty of maturation that Van Sant has captured in movies like Drugstore Cowboy, My Own Private Idaho, Elephant and Goodwill Hunting.
