cranky is more than a mood — its an attitude
I have no idea where I found this little gem… but I sure do love this project. It makes me want to contribute drawings of myself. Its really interesting to see how some people exclude their bodies from the drawings, others include emotional states as attire, and the names folk give to their accessories.
Mel recently asked if I had any good readings on death… what a question. Yes, i have too many good readings on death too count – but from what angle. We explored the usual suspects – Goulish’s 39 Microlectures which brought us to Kathy Acker, Peggy Phelan’s tribute to the dying student which begged me [...]
I never really LIKE getting a hair cut. I mean, I like when the cut is done (if it’s done well)… but sitting in the chair making small talk, well… it is not my thing. Not to mention, I feel inordinately large in those chairs, with the giant nylon tents covering my enormous torso. There [...]
This is an odd story from the NYT of a 90-year old man who was buried, sitting upright, in his Pontiac. The car was put in the ground next to his wife’s grave. On the passenger seat: his gun collection.
This morning I saw a young man, probably about 22, who had an impressive Mohawk. He and a friend got on the train at Camelback and Central. Why they choose to sit so far apart is a mystery to me, especially since they held a conversation in a tone of voice that entertained everyone in [...]
A few days ago, I asked
Who is the 1970’s artist who posed for several self-portraits with small gum vulvae affixed to her body?
And, I’m sure you all knew the answer was Hannah Wilke. In her 1974 SOS: Starification Object Series she issued a critique of the sexualized female artist as seen by the male dominated [...]
I just came across this great article by Time Etchells on Tehching Hsieh.
And the toast Etchells made at the launch of Out Of Now:
To time
To time past
To the clock
To the watched clock
To the minute hand, hour hand
To the second hand
Against the clock
Against the punch clock
To the heartbeat
To ducking out of time
To running out of time
To [...]
Just as I had accepted the fact that I’ll probably never own an iPhone, along comes, perhaps, the most enticing reason to reconsider the possibility: Track Your Happiness.
Track Your Happiness.org is a new scientific research project that investigates what makes life worth living.
Using this site, you’ll be able to track your [...]
I’ve started working on a project for a set of six dinner napkins. The embroidered patterns for the set will be derived from these modified anatomical drawings of different parts of the digestive track… they are: esophagus, tongue, guts, mouth, rectum and stomach. The plan, so far, is to do a primary and larger image [...]
On page 29 of the July 27 New Yorker, there’s a bunch of advertisements… pearl earrings, all natural almond butter, and the soul storage company…
“Is your soul weighing you down? Store it! In a painless outpatient procedure, Dr. David Flintsein can extract and store your sould in our state-of-the-art cold souls storage facility.”

I have a thing for foot cream. I must have four or five different kinds in the house at any given moment. I don’t know why I have them, perhaps the Piscean thing again? Whatever the case, I’ve decided to approach this preoccupation as research. Here are my findings.
Davies Gate Cardamom Foot Butter
Now that I’m [...]
