The "Lucid Arrows" Journey

It's a lamp. But hey, it's a lamp in Sitges!

Whoaaaaa!

Once Mika went there and she helped buy a catamaran.

They go somewhere, Andy knows it.

Hobbits?

Well they must go somewhere, eh? I mean, they're stairs.

White houses are cooler than black houses (first principle of home design).

Whoa, it's like... a building floating in the air.

Oh my god the building is eating her! She's trying to fight back, but... will she get out?

Sea, Andy, Shakti, Govi. Picture courtesy of Mika.

What kind of a story do you think inspired this?

Huh...not mopping. He's killing a dragon, he's George, St-George of Sitges.

The old garrison at Shitcheese. The town symbol looks like a guy mopping.

Long hairs, nice sea.

Wucking fater reaten BOCKS!

Beautiful color gradient, doncha think?

Nice rocks, nice sea, nice blue. Nice Andy. Embrace the tide!

Nice picture, nice sea, nice blue, nice wall, nice...no, "no war". No more boom sticks.

See the kite? Well, the guy is sort of tied to the kite, and it works...

Wanna try it?...No way!

Come on, you know you want to buy this picture and use it for advertising.

Once upon a time, in a little town called Shitcheese, there lived a... what? "Sitges". Uh oh.

The artist here made excellent use of line and color.

There is something about looking out to open sea. The slab of stone isn't very important, unless you're a Catholic.

Hot. Praying. No. Not praying. HOt.

Rohan, I think. Yeah, definitely.

Don't sit on these. They are sharp.

Si. The Cat again.

The Kitty Cat of Montserrat.

I want that mail box!

Rocksies! Or... the three kings. Oh my god I see the light. It's up there.

Jesus Christ, this was a big mountain. 1543 steps or something.

An inside-out knight. I wonder why this one is so awesome.

Now you don't. Pay no attention to the man making the funny hand signs.

Now you see him...

Eh. "The labyrinth is in the mind of the monk." -Govi

Montserrat: 1 . Monks: 0 . The mountains are MUCH nicer than the trappings of the pious.

A Spanish Lancelot, perhaps.

This is the room where you bring stuff if the mountain grants your wishes.

She's so nice. She's helping the old lady. Saint Holy Reverend Mother Mika.

Holy Reverend Mother Mika. She wished for

Saint Andy. That's what I wished for, anyway. Bwahahaahaha.

Candles for peace. Candles for love. Candles for that new baby or a new bride or a new hat. Candles for a raise. Candles for burning. Wanna make a wish?

Mika likes this one too. She likes ceilings and lights...in the ceiling.

It's a tough job, holding up a metal pole.

Mika likes this one.

Oh Holy Water, purify me and... it tasted like normal water.

"Don't worry. Be happy..."

Hmm... looks like she's considering a change of occupation or something.

At least there's something colorful. Note the dragons at the bottom.

They all look so sad. The guys in blue cloaks used to work on the Rambla in Barcelona, then they got promoted.

Oh look the nice man needs to look at floating kids for his wisdom/meaning and all that. And now a quote from "Wonder Boys": "I mean JESUS, what is it with you Catholics anyway?¨.

I swear, we didn't do it. No, seriously. It was already there.

Is this one of those illusion things where the people in back are really bigger but... eh? It was kind of boring standing in line.

For a "global chakra", it has a pretty boring rose window (said the incredulous American).

Don't mind the cross.

Which do you think is prettier? I think the monks didn't even manage to make a dent in the pretty mountain. PRETTY!

Nice view from Monsterrat. Erm, Montserrat.

Innocent rocks. Nothing shaped like anything here. No siree Bob.

In Catalan "Esglesia Vella", in english "where is the ceiling"?

I think you can make drugs out of these, no?

Puppies *snicker*. Linguistic difficulties.

Dave's pool. Mmm... swamp.

On the left, you can see the ghost. His name is Dave. On the right, Andy is wondering why anyone would name a ghost Dave.

This was the ghost's house. Apparently the ghost evicted God from his own house. More power to him!

The fog is getting thicker. "And Leon is getting largerrrrr."-Airplane

There was a ghost there. He told me that soup is trying to take over the world.

Welcome to Godthab. Population: 1.

Mika on the edge of the abyss.

Contemplating a little pointy rock thing.

Wanna make a horror film? Here's your set. We rent it out at 250 Euros per day, if you're interested.

Foot. We found it at the edge of the cliff.

So it's this big slab of rock, and it was cloudy, and everyficiliketoeatpieandlookatmonkeyshavingcake!

Creepy kooky daffy wacky nutty looking church.

Gremlins watching me. That right there is King Gremlin.

It looks like there's a little hand reaching out to pull passers by in. Mwahaha.

Don't wash Gremlins. They get mad. And don't pee in their water supply either.

Erosion'll take care of this little bugger sooner or later.

"Green Hills of Africa"... erm, Spain.

Postcard. This time from Spain. Congratulations.

Seriously, this one could have come from the Amazon.

Another postcard. It's from Heaven, or so they say. I think...

ATP. Adenosine Triphosphate, OR All-Terrain Person.

I don't know about you, but I haven't seen enough pictures of POOLS yet!!!

Peace. Full of waves. You are waves.

Don't get him wet, keep him out of bright light, and never feed him after midnight. We warned you. We told you the rules. You didn't listen. http://www.somewhere-else.net/gremlins/

Wanna postcard from Heaven?

Uuuuuuh, Gremlin.

Moss. Kate Moss.

So, the giants were sitting there playing marbles and one of them dropped a marble on Andy's head. That's why he's so crazy.

Wanna fly? Valley!

Wanna climb?

Wanna jump?

Be!

Andy likes rocks. Woo hoo.

It's an interesting hole. Chispa threw the bear who was living there out and took over residence.

Clear pool. You could probably drink it. And swim in it. Give birth in it? Maybe.

Look it's Mika. There she is. Right there. Yup. And there's water below her.

Lothlorien. Sort of.

Bye bye dear Chispa. We hardly knew ye. It looks like she's starting a long journey, doncha think?

Rock. Do you see the heart? Neither do I.

Well, we had to eat SOMETHING! Just kidding. (S)He was a cute little bugger.

Yeah, right. She's "climbing". And I'm the queen of Nepal.

Cave man. Wannabe caveman.

Si. No. Si. No si no. It looks like a cave or something.

Don't you think that rocks looks just a LITTLE bit like Brad Pitt?

Rainforest? Glorieta... waterfalls, valley. Pretty!

Andy on the side of the picture, because Mika likes to take pictures where people are on the side.

People like to climb on these. Would you like to climb on them? PLEASE say yes.

Creepy, kind of.

WOOOOOOOOOOWWWW. At night.

Ladder snake (Elaphe scalaris). Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!A.

Also the... ZEE lake. You can drink from it.

Dur snake was looking at us. The creepy reptile was probably plotting our destruction.

Zee lake, on the property next to the sanctuary.

The HMS Luna?

We were wondering if it was a leaf, you know. It's not a leaf, it's a... oh my GOD!!!

"Gimme hug", said the little girl.

Weird trees. I prefer real leaves.

And now the children of the Urth are reaching out into the universe, consuming everything in sight just like we consumed our lunch (see below).

Oh look it's the "rainbow" of people "dancing" with each other.

Kids draw pictures about water and stuff. And they get publicity.

UGLY!!! Well, no, not THIS part, but the rest of it was.

For the site of a peace and diversity forum, this place was pretty fuckin' ugly.

In case you're differently abled and you didn't understand how big the Forum was the first time we said it, here you go. Get it?

Yessssssssss.

"The tragedy of modern man is not that he knows less and less about the meaning of his own life, but that it bothers him less and less."-Vaclav Havel Yep. Preach it Brother Vaclav.

I don't know ANYTHING. Does that mean I get a PhD?

Some people enjoy stealing Andy's water.

Mika took his water, and she wouldn't get him ice cream, and he was hot. Shut UP!

We are consumers. There was a lunch there. WE consumed it.

Big Forum. Long journey. Tiring. Hot sun. Salty water.

A giant wall of painted faces. They were once people like you and me, until they reached the age of 21 and failed to purchase their first Toyota. The penalty: imprisonment eternal in the wall of fame (faces? f...)

Huh?

Obsessive orange stackers for peace!

Okay, so it's like the Blue Man group, except they're not all men, and they don't play drums, and they're not Intel's slaves.

People. So many people. Sons of Adam, Daughters of Eve, unite (unity will take place on Tuesday, 6:30 PM, near the big blue thing; BYOB).

It is... it is... ? It is... It is blue. The screens are BIG. BIG, blue screens.

The planet Urth. They had very dramatic music playing. Urth is like that.

Hippies.

Be very careful where you park this one. Studies show that nine out of ten car thiefs prefer Toyota (r) vehicles.

Did you know that owning a Toyota also makes God more likely to forgive your sins?

We'll be getting this one :) .

Studies by Toyota scientists have shown that owning a Toyota improves your complexion and improves test scores. This one is really pretty, don't you think?

Buy a Toyota, save the Earth. Brought to you by the Toyota propaganda building at the Forum, Barcelona, Spain.

No, he didn't fall. He had shoe things, anti-gravity boots, magic slippers, something like that.

Mika did it.

The big fish robot. It smell like they were cooking a REAL big fish somewhere nearby.

Mika with a virtual, elderly gentleman.

Big solar panel thing. Deep into yourself you must look, to discover why this picture is important. Yeeees.

Sandcastles for peace! That'll show 'um.

Is it? Dunno. Doubtful. Peekaboo!

Yes, we do. We've been a good boy this year.

Catalan flag. Andy's hand is in the flag.

It does not make sense. Period.

Looks like a bunch of kids had crafts hour at school.

Lots of people hung stuff. It was quite lovely. It symbolizes hope, somehow.

All about water. 132 faucets is better than one.

Sooooo interesting.

Information overload!

Part of the Forum in Barcelona

I dunno what it says either.

Yes, I are apple. You am too. But the lady over there is a pear.

Yep. For a free hat, which two kinds of peace are being talked about here?

This is Chispa after she bit the table. She was hungry, and the humans were engaged in a conspiracy to starve her.

Yes, exactly. I don't think any of you have ever seen peas before. That is EXACTLY why we posted this picture. JEEZE. They're peas, okay, and they're the results of a great deal of toil.

Dude it's like a solar eclipse with peas or something and... they came from the garden.

Peas and garlic and Chispa.

Some people like to shell peas. Notice that, even when she's happy, she keeps a sharp object at her side.

DON'T even think about saying anything (!!!).

Dogarden.

Snail vibrator. You know what I mean *wink wink* .

So much hard work and no lollipop? I'd be ready to impale people too.

"Duh?" Her name is Luna, and don't your forget it.

Tiller McMika?

Multi-... flower.

Tri-chloro-b... flower.

Hens. They eat the food. Find Eggy ;) .

Hen food. This is SO interesting!

'Copula, Copulorum'

Me carry heavy big sack man with lettuce food for Eggy and company.

These are berries. At least the wild boar left someone alive.

Some people like to paint pictures. Some people like to garden. And some people like to impale.

Mika's garden, before we did stuff to it.

The finished deal. Now the Sun won´t shine on the pipe and cause thermal expansion and contraction in an awful cycle of violence that will eventually break the pipe. Get it?

Chispa HATES gloves, because when she picks them up and shakes them, they slap her, and that only makes her angrier. A perfect example of the awful cycle of violence that inflicts dogs and American presidents alike. Except Chispa doesn't actually hurt anyone. I think Chispa should be the president of the US. She would certainly be better than what's his face. I mean, a ¨War on Gloves¨ makes more sense than a ¨War on Terror¨. At least gloves actually EXIST as concrete objects that can be ¨defeated¨! I mean GOD, how can you declare war on a CONCEPT or an emotion!? Terror... oi vay. I will now yield the floor to my collegue, Mr. Hat, the gentleman from Tasmania. He is here to talk about the war his son has declared on the monsters that live under his bed. THAT makes more sense than the ¨War on Terror¨ too.

Oh, look, she's holding a rock. Will wonders never cease? This is a testament to the strength that lives within each one of us. You, too, can lift rocks. I believe in you. Ah, shut up or I'll sick the guy with the hammer and the crazy look on you.

Oh, look, I'm holding a rock. Isn't that special...

Spooky. See the look on that guy's face? I think he hates rocks. It's like, dude, what is he going to do with that hammer!?

Yes, they ARE rocks. Why do you care? Because they happen to be irregular. That's why.

So, the idea was to cover the little canal up with the stones. It was thirteen and a half barrels of fun. Like the puzzle from HELL.

Luna doesn't like yard work.

Mmm hmm. We went there. The footprint is STILL there.

Falling sand, Mika, and a long exposure time. Looks like she's making a sculpture of some kind. Could be an alien. We'll get back to you once we know more.

Andy playing with sand. Andy the Sandy, they called him. Shut up.

Waves.

Full moon, waves, sand, a castle, and the blackness that IS the mother of all that which seeks to dwell within the infernal house of the... gimme drugs.
