&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;it finally hit me after watching a few more interviews with morgan on youtube, though (a few &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXz16nqmLPc"&gt;good&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOhKrL5DB1Y"&gt;examples&lt;/a&gt;). 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.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://aleck.tumblr.com/post/226462568</link><guid>http://aleck.tumblr.com/post/226462568</guid><pubDate>Wed, 28 Oct 2009 18:39:33 -0700</pubDate></item><item><title>Steakhouse or Gay Bar</title><description>&lt;a href="http://steakhouseorgaybar.com/"&gt;Steakhouse or Gay Bar&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;p&gt;(via &lt;a href="http://amandalynferri.tumblr.com/"&gt;amandalynferri&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://aleck.tumblr.com/post/221026176</link><guid>http://aleck.tumblr.com/post/221026176</guid><pubDate>Fri, 23 Oct 2009 09:18:34 -0700</pubDate></item><item><title>street scrap</title><description>&lt;p&gt;like sane peope often do, while &lt;a href="http://lindsayj.tumblr.com/"&gt;lindsay&lt;/a&gt; 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 &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3CJyiMPIPBo"&gt;this video&lt;/a&gt; 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?&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://aleck.tumblr.com/post/215800538</link><guid>http://aleck.tumblr.com/post/215800538</guid><pubDate>Sat, 17 Oct 2009 15:51:00 -0700</pubDate></item><item><title>24freedinners:

&lt;p&gt;in 1896, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolph_Sutro"&gt;adolph sutro&lt;/a&gt;, 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.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://aleck.tumblr.com/post/205337626</link><guid>http://aleck.tumblr.com/post/205337626</guid><pubDate>Mon, 05 Oct 2009 14:49:33 -0700</pubDate></item><item><title>peterberkman:

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;normally when im forced to swerve in my car, its to avoid a pothole or cat. not a furry on a leash.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;i found that almost every person i passed on the street could be one, if not all, of four things: folsom street fest attendee, bona fide crazy person, renaissance fair employee, inquisition victim &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;its the time for festivals here in sf. i love it&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://aleck.tumblr.com/post/198633963</link><guid>http://aleck.tumblr.com/post/198633963</guid><pubDate>Sun, 27 Sep 2009 15:43:00 -0700</pubDate></item><item><title>my newest baby cousin (cousin’s kid? cousin-in-law?)...</title><description>&lt;img src="http://15.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kqnhgzUs5H1qz6vhxo1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;my newest baby cousin (cousin’s kid? cousin-in-law?) oliver rocking the hot styles i bought him&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://aleck.tumblr.com/post/198610169</link><guid>http://aleck.tumblr.com/post/198610169</guid><pubDate>Sun, 27 Sep 2009 15:07:47 -0700</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
