it's sunday morning, 2am. just as i'm about to close my laptop for the night, i stumble upon this video about halfway down my facebook feed (thanks russ). and despite having just struggled to keep my eyes open on the drive back from the 909, i sat wide awake, completely mesmerized and totally engaged for the duration of this 9 minute video. it's of an artist who just won a ukranian talent competition. she uses sand painting to illustrate the german invasion and occupation of the ukraine during wwii. it's totally unreal. -d

i will be watching this. all weekend long.
