The Right Distance in Dating

Dating can be a difficult process when one is unsure whether to try to be close to the other or to keep one’s distance. Narrowing one’s distance with another can just be too close for comfort. Keeping one’s distance on the other hand can make the other party feel that one is aloof. Thus, one should be able to gauge just the right distance for the other to feel comfortable. During moments when one is in close physical distance with the partner, one should confirm to see if the other person is responsive. There are some people who aren’t touchy-feely, and in these situations, it would be better to just keep close distance but not have any close physical contact. When not in close physical contact such as with people who date long distance, it is better not to barrage the other with messages or emails. Maybe simple Good morning SMS can already boost the other’s day without needing to do check-ups constantly. In this sense, the dating relationship can be a comfortable one where intimacy is balanced.

 

Control This Video How You Want

Most music videos are static things that tell a tell and then end. Not this one. Continuing to pioneer the field of not making mediocre excuses for videos by way of We Used to Wait, the Arcade Fire have released a new, interactive music video of Sprawl II. Using your webcam (and a broadband connection) by dancing around you can control the faceless crew. Not only does this show how high the bar is raised for artists with the decline of old media (when exactly DID MTV abandon the music video block format) but it also shows just how much a band can realize whatever artistic vision they might have. Consider a future where you can have a “multisong” music video; that is to say if you could have a Choose Your Own Adventure-style music video with different versions of the song playing depending on your choices. Thanks, Arcade Fire – Sprawl II really opens up the door.
