leave me alone

"...please do not e-mail, text-message, instant-message, direct-message, Facebook-message (if you’re still on MySpace or Friendster, that’s just plain creepy), Facebook-chat, iChat, tweet, retweet (don’t even mention Twitter mentions), StumbleUpon, LinkIn with, zoom into, Google Buzz, Plaxify, Jigsaw, Digg, Skype, Spoke, poke, flick, or tag me. Don’t boxball, squareball, jingl, jangl, mingl, mangl, FairShare, Foursquare, twosquare, do-si-do, or swing your laptop round and round. I just want to be left alone."

This New Yorker Shouts and Murmurs piece is so funny.

"Pure Beauty" by John Baldessari


John Baldessari is becoming one of my new favorite conceptual artists. To me, he represents all that a 'true' artist should be...progressive, humble, slightly solitary, inventive, serious without being too serious, fun, smart, quirky, and ever-curious.

Gambia

burning hula hoops


Went to the Burning Man Decompression last night in the city...quite a scene. I've not yet been to Burning Man (although it might have to be added to my 'things to do before I'm 30' list) but it was a kinda cool taste of the BM vibe. I find it refreshing to be around people who truly do not give a fuck and just have fun.
It was exactly as I expected it to be, with it's techno music, fur-clad dancers, pulsing light strobes, massive metal sculptures, friendly glow stick clad folks, and - my favorite - fire dancers. Flaming hula hoops?!? That and so much more...an awesome performance and definitely not the usual Sunday activity dancing in green fishnets with glittery gold insect antenna bouncing on my head.
