acquisition

since i constantly have my agents scouring the globe for fine articles of historical or artistic significance, im happy to report that one has found a particularly interesting piece in some far flung corner of indochina.

ok, actually my brother is in cambodia on a business thing and he happened into a music shop filled with treasures. ive casually been in the mandolin market for a while now and though i dont condone colonization, i do condone the fine french craftsmanship that just happened to be on the same clipper as all that slaughter and oppression. an excerpt from the email he sent me announcing his triumphant purchase reads, ‘this mandolin is what the surfing commander in apocalypse now would have been strumming if he had been playing a mandolin instead of a guitar in that campfire scene (is that actually in the movie or am i imagining that). put a few human ears on your strap and it will be complete’.

Nights like this are just made for popping some Moody Blues in the old Discman and taking a walk on the tracks, Doug. It’s called introspection.

I know I’ve been absent, but I brought my new, actual website as a ‘I’m sorry for ignoring you’ gift. It’s still a bit sparse (especially my exhibition history -which if all goes well, will possibly, maybe, hopefully, change sometime soon), but it’s a start.

i , according to the tenants of racial and geographic stereotypes, subscribe to several npr podcasts on itunes. one of my more sporadic listens is fresh air with the lovely terry gross (or occasionally ‘big voice guy’ if she’s not in that week) who delivers interviews with people of societal/scientific/entertainment/etc note with all the intensity of warm stone-ground wheat bread - comforting if a little bland (thanks henry).

however, a few days ago, she had on tracy morgan who was out hawking his new memoir. now i like 30 rock and all, but truthfully, i didnt really give a shit about tracy morgan the person too much before this. i do now. i have never heard someone more uncomfortable in my entire life than poor terry gross trying to simultaneously sympathize with morgan’s crazy non-sequiter responses and wonder how many times she can throw it to the ‘reintroduction of the guest’ break so she has time to recover. i was physically squirming on the bus while she was nervously laughing off her complete confusion at whether or not morgan’s tears/shouts/noises/declaration that the ‘funny bus was downstairs’ were all real, feigned, mocking, or somewhere in between. you really need to listen to this interview if you can.

it finally hit me after watching a few more interviews with morgan on youtube, though (a few good examples). tracy morgan just enjoys making white people feel very uncomfortable. and what better forum than ‘fresh air’ to get it done in so efficient a manner.

street scrap

Sat, 17 Oct 2009 15:51:00 -0700

like sane peope often do, while lindsay and i were sitting on the bus yesterday we were planning how we would handle ourselves in a streetfight (maybe it had something to do with this video of two ladies getting in a fight on the very bus system we were riding). of course, a broken bottle is kind of a go-to in a street fight scenario, and i happened to have a bottle with at the time. unfortunately, it was an orangina bottle and it was mutually decided that was maybe the least intimidating and worst possible selection for street-scrap-bottle. can anyone think of a less appropriate choice?

this is where i took a walk this morning. well, ok this is what it looks like now, but the location is the same. the western neighborhoods of sf (outside lands, if you will) have a lot of things to offer. the sutro baths is one of them.

in 1896, adolph sutro, former sf mayor and famous name-haver, finally opened the doors to this long dreamed-of glass cathedral of leisure. 7 swimming pools, 2 million gallons of water, an 8,000 seat capacity theater, 7 toboggan slides, the list goes on. a mr. thomas edison was very fond of the place and shot a few of his movies of the swimmers zipping down the slides and groups clad in black trunks mashed together for group lessons. after years of struggle with maintenance costs and operation issues, the place finally closed in the 60s, burning down in 1966 during deconstruction.
