snail trail

Semâ Bekirovic "Grid"
video ( 19:00)

I let three snails make a drawing by making them crawl over a grid I drew on a piece of paper. Their slime-trails dissolved the ink of my drawing, creating an abstract figure.

A great piece by an artist that tickles my brain and leaves me with creative snail trail.

free money

Every night before I rest my head
See those dollar bills go swirling 'round my bed.
I know they're stolen, but I don't feel bad.
I take that money, buy you things you never had.

Oh, baby, it would mean so much to me,
Oh, baby, to buy you all the things you need for free.
I'll buy you a jet plane, baby,
Get you on a higher plane to a jet stream
And take you through the stratosphere
And check out the planets there and then take you down
Deep where it's hot, hot in Arabia, babia, then cool, cold fields of snow
And we'll roll, dream, roll, dream, roll, roll, dream, dream.
When we dream it, when we dream it, when we dream it,
We'll dream it, dream it for free, free money,
Free money, free money, free money, free money, free money, free money.

unstimulated & easily distracted

I've been watching bird videos for the past 20 mins.

104 target

I have a few thoughts swirling around my empty little head lately that I'd rather expel. I have been counting calories as of late and not in a good way. My best friend is getting married in less than a month and I'm walking down the isle in a super fitted sexy cocktail dress. I'm not one of those, Rawr! I love my curves kind of bitches so, rather than jiggling up a storm I'm cutting back. What bothers me is that it takes an event where 100+ people will see me for 1 minute walking a straight line in order for me to de-chunk. I wish I was health conscience and not just bulge conscience.
Emily Winton, Oven, 2007 from dispositions series

I've had this image collecting dust in my hard drive for a bit. After satisfying my Rufus craving this morning with Cigarettes & Chocolate Milk I felt they paired perfectly.

This is still one of my all time favorite songs.

one of those mornings

didn't wake up early enough to wash my hair✓
wearing the same beat outfit I do every Thursday✓
coffee came out bitter✓
I got pulled over for taking a yellowRED ✓
WTF, actually laughed out loud at today's Onion calendar page?✓

On mornings like this I just listen to Yeasayer's Tightrope on repeat:

Biomorphically Baroque

Adam Wallacavage's “Biomorphically Baroque", extravagant light fixtures make my eyeballs scream. I can't pick a favorite. They're absurdly beautiful, playful and slightly haunting. These gorgeous tentacle lights and sconces would look great even in the most most modernist non rococo setting.

These illuminating creatures belong in Serge Gainsbourg's L'hôtel particulier:

must see: Earthlings

What else could be a perfect follow up to the heart shaped salami than this grotesque displays of human consumption and slaughtering?

Sunaura Taylor; Chicken Truck, oil on canvas 2008

Sue Coe; Slaughterhouse Trenton, 2006,Oil on canvas

On recommendation by a friend I've been watching Earthlings at my desk. I haven't even finished it because there is so much wincing and pausing involved that by the 35 minute mark it's been an eternity. I'm not going to stand on a soap box and make grand declarations but I suggest see it, if you haven't already.

You can watch the full film here.

EARTHLINGS is a feature length documentary about humanity's absolute dependence on animals (for pets, food, clothing, entertainment, and scientific research) but also illustrates our complete disrespect for these so-called "non-human providers." The film is narrated by Joaquin Phoenix and features music by the critically acclaimed platinum artist Moby.

little boxes

The teensie apartment flooded over the weekend.

Like really really flooded, with busted pipe sewer water. Not too much was destroyed- just a few special things got water damaged. Flooding is traumatizing. We have to move now. I'm not thrilled about this but I look forward to decorating a new space kinda.
Now we have to search for a new dry little box to make our own.
