show me an “influencer” who is totally comfortable on social media, posting every single day, always smiling, making money from it, and I will show you a hollow psychopath cheating lying racist sexual predator. how is anybody still surprised at that sort of “revelation?”
This as life isn’t natural. It turns people into mutants. You can’t thrive on this unless your empathy is broken or you have a staff handling it for you, and I would still worry about whoever gets hired for that.
every power structure has abusive perverts at the top, and a good amount of the way toward the top.
speaking of news that isn’t news, John Wayne, the quintessential white guy pretending to be a tough white guy, believed in the superiority of tough white guyness. I didn’t know he had ever specifically said so but i didn’t assume he hadn’t, nor that an airport was named for him.
I knew he made a movie where he keeps women in line by spanking them, however. Without having seen any John Wayne films I assumed he killed Indians in most of them and was famous primarily for that, and wouldn’t have kept doing it if he didn’t believe in it to a degree. Would there have been an airport named after him to begin with if he weren’t racist?
I’m so embarrassed, I had no idea, this is really casting Ganon in a new light for me.
it’s “who cares?” isn’t it
if Seinfeld is supreme above all situation comedy television programs then why is the text declaring so a reference to The Simpsons?
apparently I had a few complaints about Seinfeld that are preventing this item from being completed so I will likewise* banish that to the Phantom Zone until such time that I feel like finishing it, which typically is never.
*this is referring to the mouseover text on the last picture, which I never do in the regular text because I assume most people don’t know the mouseover text is there and I don’t point out that it is because I think it is better when it is not pointed at, except by mouse cursors. I prefer them distracted so they don’t get around to cursing my mouse.
They all thought I was mad for believing this would one day be the most valuable item in my house
Yoda has become quite crass now that he is retired from hollywood.
even from someone who spent most of his life as a hand puppet that is unnecessary.
I have the past yearish had a habit of putting any odd sight I encounter that doesn’t need to have a whole lot said about it immediately on to my twitter page and then forgetting about it or thinking i need to contrive some context before putting it it here and THEN forgetting about it. This is not in fact the only lazy piece of graffiti I saw on Monday but it is the only one I am showing here!
This is not the correct way to eat at McDonald’s.
the largest component of my easter dinner — what IS this thing? Stop and Shop was still on strike and apparently this was the only size of ham remaining at the Big Y store. as in “Y is this legal?” It looks like something Asterix would eat. It looks like something Simon Belmont would find hidden inside a wall (on a plate). This might be the Roast Beast that they eat in Who-Ville. This looks like something Link would use to finish getting through Level 7. I cannot verify that every bone in this corresponds to an actual body part. This looks like what Daeneris eats to prove she is worthy to become khaleesi. This looks like the leader of Red Falcon. This looks like symbolism from Lord of the Flies that I did not pick up on while reading the book and was unable to summarize during my worst high school class. This looks like
I invite science to try and replace this with laboratory grown materials; Whatever this came from must have suffered both in life and in death. I had no idea how to cut it and none of the web pages purporting to demonstrate how to do so actually did so or even used an identifiably similar meat object if they showed anything.
Look at this it turns into Big League Chew when I put a fork in it. What IS this?
(it was pretty good)
apparently I have much more to say about this than I can manage at the moment so I will instead say as little as possible and hopefully prompt myself to finish later.
if necessary you can watch a few seconds of that for your own independent research.
I am not good at summing up my experiences. I want to include every detail and it is not possible, even though I take pictures constantly and write myself numerous notes as if I intended to summarize all things.
One thing that did come up amidst the alternative space weekend art business, which has come up previously and does not take long to express: this image, known as “Tidal Knave,” is the main picture that I seem to sell a 8.5×11 page print or 5×7 grating card of at every show, going back to 2010. Which I appreciate! But it confounds me that most people seem unaware of the assault the creature has taken.
How is the scene interesting without that part? Without that it is just a strange inaccurate humanoid animal in the wrong part of the country standing on a noticeably more realistic beach and looking at the ground! I cannot have people thinking I approve of this dork! Something bad MUST be happening to it.
Also, this is what you see if the most recent 17×22 inch print jumps off the wall, surely in search of doing more punishment.
hopefully not to be explained or drawn in more considered detail later! Considering how that went.
It is a stereotyped thought based on a number of things that happened and/or felt like they were happening within several months
it makes me mad that dumb nemitz got into this picture. don’t you know i am on, possibly over a deadline, you stupid horrid mitz? and you had to get stuck so you need help?! i do not have TIME to help you. Or maybe nemitz is just DISSATISFIED with the chocolate that mit has and is demanding the other imp hand over its doughnut fragment. I appreciate that the other imp is ignoring nemitz’s TOXIC behaviour. Sometimes that is the only way they learn.
Why does the father of sword and sorcery look like the father of tommy guns and bootlegging?
The answer being the hat.
Well that just seems rude!
Also: I initially included the full view of this object and talked about it more and it wasn’t funny. This also isn’t funny but it is a better value.
I had much amusement from this box back in 2006
I must say they were a lot more entertaining before Grimvald quit the group.
in other 2006 news, my web page about the Super NES game Whirlo remains comatose.
The only thank-giving food I like better than acorns are preschool magnet letters.
I am thankful that they grow on the same tree.
Last week I said you would “see if I don’t” have some sort of ordering thing set up this week, and that is the only reason I am forcing out this incomplete update now, so that I see it before you do.
A specific thing that occurred during the armory show was one person was interested in buying something but declined to do so on that occasion, asking me “your website has a store, right?” What I should have said was “no,” or possibly “no, but give me your email address and we can sort this out.” Instead of that, I said something that I do not recall but it was not “no” and I believed I could make something superficially resembling a store in a short period. I really could not, and partway through realized I would have great difficulty meeting orders on a set and consistent schedule and consequently would prefer to not have people automatically charged by an automated system, which they seem to all consistently do. Meanwhile if that person came to this website they would have just seen mopey rubbish. Further, of all the potential options with the same capabilities I could have gone with for the “store” I have not finished, I chose the one which does THIS at checkout:
Apart from the British train tickets that I was alluding to but apparently failed to mention deep amidst the last time I went off on this sort of business behavior, literally i cannot remember ever buying ANYTHING off the internet that prompted me for MR or MRS. Why does this have to strike NOW on MY website, and reveal itself so late? In fact selecting one is optional, but it being there at all implies first that it is not optional, and also that I am demanding it. I look like a total hippogriff. Really, truly, as if I would go out of my way to force this on people, BEFORE I inverted the color scheme and inserted some garish graphics and inappropriate text? On merchandise that costs less than a pizza?
*I am not actually selling prints of that.
Also, non-married women may apparently not purchase prints.
Oh EYE see how it is.
Thank to anyone who visited my hallway extravablandza at the city wide open studio armory weekend. For those unaware, I was holding an intensive two-day research project in which I set out to determine if people like free candy, occasionally taking breaks to pick up art prints that mysteriously would not stick to crumbly bare plaster walls. The results may choc you.
I do not know “art people,” I do not have a lot of understanding of how to use big spaces or how to enlist help to seem organized or “legitimate,” so the attention I got a from a few visitors, who really seemed to CARE that I was there, even though I am a terrible carpenter, am not in touch with my heritage, and am trying to amuse rather than shock or guilt or whatever, that means a lot to me, even if I barely cover my expenses. The genuine interactions with real people are more important than the money (though money is more important than plenty of things), or having to get 150 pounds of nonsense up and down two flights of stairs and in and out of a building with no doors in convenient places. That makes me think, perhaps this IS going SOMEWHERE not 100% disastrous, or potentially could if I became able to do more of the things I said I could not do.
And YES, I do sell art prints! Alas I do not have an order form up and running as of yet but I will make that my project for this week if not tomorrow and you see if I don’t. Any objects in the awkward art page section can theoretically be printed and sent anywhere but you will have to contact me directly such as at [email protected]
Also if you took pictures of my paintings and walked off without taking a card, writing in the guestbook, making eye contact or in any way acknowledging I existed, as if this is “found art” that nobody made and you are great for discovering, or alternatively like I am a goon for daring to show silly nonsense in your serious art converted squatter mansion, then you won’t see this message so I do not need to say what I hypothetically think of that, which is good because I am usually exaggerating when I have thoughts like that.
I probably did not make as many sales as last year, but I was definitely more organized; compare the size and shape of my post-show tape ball from this year with last year’s.
