One Second Per Day X 365 = THIS VIDEO

Re. self-censorship: I was watching a documentary on/by Nina Conti the other day, and the film quotes Ken Campbell quoting von Schiller:

“In the case of the creative mind, it seems to me, the intellect has withdrawn its watchers from the gates, and the ideas rush in pell-mell, and only then does it review and inspect the multitude. You worthy critics, or whatever you may call yourselves, are ashamed or afraid of the momentary and passing madness which is found in all real creators, the longer or shorter duration of which distinguishes the thinking artist from the dreamer. Hence your complaints of unfruitfulness, for you reject too soon and discriminate too severely.”

Now that's something to ponder for the New Year ...!

Nina Conti is superb by the way - nothing that you might expect.

And Ken Campbell was something else - his obit:
