Howling at the Lunatics

Quoted from: Dane Lovett

Suzanne G.:
If I had one wish in this world dominated by quick, generic and often rather uninspiring digital photography clogging up our precious webspace, it would be to bring Francesca Woodman back to life.

She committed suicide in 1981 at the age of 22 by jumping out of a loft window in New York, but for me, her works have only grown in their eroticism and thanatal (I wrote it, therefore it’s a word now!) attraction since.

In other canine news, a dog who was washed overboard and believed drowned has been found four months later - as a castaway on a remote Australian island.

Kore de ii no da™

“It’s all good.” (kore de ii no da - これでいいのだ) is currently quite a popular phrase in Japan: “Your liberating ideas helped us accept and affirm the way things really are. That is, you taught us, ‘It’s all good.’”
If Casey is ever big in Japan maybe kore de ii no da will become koredeiinoda™. Itsallgood™.
Koi attack duck!

I had no idea Deyrolle burned earlier this year. I loved that place. At least they seem to be putting things back together.

This video reminds me so much of Pac Man and Space Invaders as a kid. Yes, I am an old fart who had a childhood addiction to those stupid old games.
P.S. Why is the Bible so boring (they're going on about the Covenant on PBS and I remember banging my head against a wall in an attempt to write something Biblically relevant about the f-ing Covenant). Let's just say I did much better in Greek and French history classes.

RIP Robert Rauschenberg

“Building on the legacies of Marcel Duchamp, Kurt Schwitters and Joseph Cornell, he helped to obscure the lines between painting and sculpture, painting and photography, photography and printmaking, sculpture and photography, sculpture and dance, sculpture and technology, technology and performance art — not to mention between art and life.”

Pile Ignore Mode Progress Report

11/11/07 UPDATE!
Pile ingore mode returned. This is my office.

I don't even want to use that George W. toilet paper, but I don't know what else to do with it.

Dining room as of the morning of November 11.
Kind of pathetic when I came compare it to the August 28 photos. Since then I believe new boxes arrived from somewhere, because I eliminated two of them yesterday.

UPDATE: Intriguing taxidermy art discovered via Morbid Anatomy.
The image on the left is the artist, Sarina Brewer.

This is my dining room.
Haven't bothered with dusting yet, but this is my office previously featured with tons of crap here and there.
This is an amusing Bacchus Behave! suggestion...

My old books aren't in good shape, but they also aren't in nearly as bad shape as I feared...
