obsessed with the octopus cam
Emily's comment about the octopus cam made me think about how we should have a camera in every city in the world. A web cam, where anyone on the internet can see life happening somewhere else. I think that the show Sunrise Earth should do this, too. They should set up cameras on city corners to capture the sunrise and the people_life and not just cows waking up to eat grass.
Emily is in London and she and I were talking about place the other day. I think of the Thames often, so I asked her to go there and think of me and see if I felt transported somehow. It didn't work the way I thought it would, but it was still a cool experiment. I loved that someone half a world away was thinking of me at one of my favorite places. But what if there was a camera set up in every city? And I could say, Emily, go to the camera at 1pm my time and I will watch for you.
Anyway, this damn octo cam. I was just watching and saw some people pointing to the corner of the tank that I can't see. They are seeing the octopus! I am so mad. I need a pet octopus so I can see him all the time.


Comments
I have checked that damn cam five times. I have never once seen the octopus. I think the octopus is broken, I vote for a new one.

a man in dallas recently stopped a robbery in progress on a street in england. A web cam had been set up there b/c of this street's relationship to the Beatles. The guy called the police there and a few guys were arrested in progress.
