come again?

everytime i see this movie poster, i see the word: obese and not obsess. which makes me giggle cause i think this movie poster is an epic FAIL.

it is very cheesy and very tyler perry. that screams home made budget movie. oh well.

one of these days i'll watch dream girls and i'll let you know if i change my mind on her acting abilities.

birds of paradise

i was peacock stalking! those things are beautiful and colorful!



my latest tenants, harold and maude have had two more babies! that's four total this year!

i've named them mugatu and zoolander! enjoy!

sad beautiful

longing for lullabies ft titiyo - kleerup

the price is WRONG

ugh. this makes me NOT want to buy this diamond...

i'm not saying i could afford it... but this definitely makes me pretend NOT want to buy it.

i had to sit there and try to figure out how much that was. do you reallllllly need seven 9s??? if you add ONE PENNY to that... it's gonna be 100,000 dollars!!!!!

doves 2009

harold and maude are proud to announce the arrival of sasha fierce!

i'm not sure if sasha has a sister yet... i think she just hatched very recently since i was looking at them the other day and she hadn't said hi to the world yet.

more pics hopefully before sasha spread her wings and flies away to eat worms... or whatever doves eat.

last year, harold and maude had two: vivienne and knox. i hope they're all doing well where ever they are. ;)

like two snails passing in the night....

isn't this romantic?

i walked past them while at school walking to my car. hopefully no one stepped on them.

ha ha ha... brilliant!!! cheaters sometimes do win!!!

grounded love

one of my favorite contemporary sculptors is german artist, katharina fritsch.

the image with the people around it is her piece, but the version i saw at the matthew marks gallery years ago was made entirely of just mirror pogs (no yellow or black) in it.

it's weird, because if you think about it, all it is.... is just pogs in the shape of a giant heart.

but gosh darn it, i almost cried because i thought it was so beautiful.

when you are standing there in the quiet of an art gallery, it might tip you off of any type of emotional equilibrium you are on.

my friend dana a. says that when she finally saw the sistine chapel, she started bawling.


the only other piece that has ever moved me to tears is picasso's desmoiselles d'avignon. first off, i am always shocked at the size of any piece of art i've only seen via textbook. i didn't expect it to be HUGE... larger than lifesize. i sat there on the bench and just took it in.



during the rainy season in los angeles, my backyard went nuts. so in a fit of obsessive thinking, i decided to try and mow the entire backyard... it took me two days to reach the image above...

although i wasn't thinking about katharina fritsch's piece, i thought about it two days later and thought that was cool.


initially, i was gonna try and mow the word CRAZY like in the aerosmith video of the same name.



but if i were to do that, i'd need a shirtless farmer to help me navigate the turns... and i was like, too much time...



so i ended up with a heart...

i've actually re-mowed it so make it a little bit more easy to tell what it is... but i need a ladder to get myself on my roof so that i can photograph it that way before i mow it away... maybe.

it's probably nice for the ghetto birds circling my hood to follow crackhead dealers during drug busts... i wish i had access to it so that i could see my backyard topiary...

maybe if i leave it long enough, i'll see it on googlemaps.

pop culture vocabulary word

chairlift - EVIDENT UTENSILS



the cool term of the day is DATAMOSHING. this is how the chairlift video is styled. i love it. it reminds me of 60's model and sexy icon/artist, verushka.



and the second video of the night is:

bat for lashes - DANIEL

Daniel - Bat For Lashes


it's just soooo beautiful.

absolut mango sex

click on image to enlarge.

i have been hearing great fun things about rupaul's drag race show.... so i decided to catch the first episode to see if it's worth it and i wholly agree. it is fun. i totally recommend it.

http://www.logoonline.com/shows/dyn/rupauls_drag_race/videos.jhtml

anyways, one of the sponsors of the show is absolut vodka, mango.

so every 6 minutes or so, there's a little mini commercial that goes on while it loads to the next part of the episode and i find myself staring at the ad... A LOT.

it's effective because it's so sensual. at first, i couldn't figure out that it was a mango. it was just too sexual and disturbing at the same time... and then once i realized what it was, it made me wonder why they would have used these images for their ad.

i mean, after all, it's a show on drag queens... wouldn't this work better on the spike channel? i initially took it to be very feminine... not gay.

i immediately thought two things: munch's the scream and a developing fetus in the uterus.... and then i thought georgia o'keefe because of the colors. it's so organic.

and then while i was collaging the images together to show you what i mean, i started looking at it again... and then i realized how GAY sex it was...

1. look at the positioning of the bottle... it looks a lot like anal sex.
2. the mango has a giant seed (sperm!). you use the phallic bottle to seed the fleshiness.
3. the word "comes" is exactly at the entrance of the ass.
4. the motto "true taste comes naturally" is sorta referring to bareback sex.

so i stand corrected. this is a very gay ad.

today on the tyra banks show...

so interesting.

the first one is sorta fake i think. but i will say that they all are plausible.

if anything, this will be a good conversation piece.

if you click to the youtube link, you'll be able to watch the other four parts to the show.

d.i.y. project #3: kitty house

kitty house!
cost: $1.98 (two very large salad bowls @ $0.99 each)
amount of time to complete: 30 minutes with t.v.
tools: i hammered a nail through the areas i will twistie tie it. a box cutter to cut out of entrance. heavy duty tape around the edges cause it's breakable plastic.

d.i.y. project #2

cherry wallpaper on the side of my bath tub!
cost: $0.99
amount of time to complete: 10 minutes
tools: a flat spackle to help push out air bubbles, a straight edge & box cutter to cut straight lines on top (my bath tub is bevelled)

ignore the dirty bathroom!

my first d.i.y. project of the year

i actually probably haven't done many inventive do it yourself projects ever....

but last night i was looking around for a how to build your own rotary clothesline... and i found a site that has a bunch of d.i.y. items... and this one was one of my favorites and i did it today!

it cost me $1.00. the one on the internet suggests going to ikea and getting one for $10.00.

i was at the 99 cent store and saw allen wrench set. and mind you, it's made of plastic (but there is a metal under the orange plastic)... so i assume the ikea version would be more durable.

so what i did was i bought the allen wrench set, unscrewed the attachments, replaced all the allen wrenches with my keys. one thing to note is that you might need to file some of your keyholes to make it fit the screw. the allen wrenches had a metal washer in between some of the different sizes so i just used those to separate the keys a little bit.

they also suggested you file down all the key parts that stick out so it's more stream-line... but that would take too much time and i'm not sure if i'd be able to get them out without breaking a fingernail.

i reattached the nut and the screw bolt... and VOILA!

unfortunately my car key doesn't fit in there, so i attached a mini key ring into the allen wrench and started a daisy chain of key rings.

the reason why i love this project so much was that i have always been annoyed with the fact that when i throw my keys into my bag, that it would scratch my mobile phone, etc.... now instead of 10 keys scratching my stuff, there's only one key... the likelihood of scratching has gone down... right? i think so.

i'm so happy!

i'm your venus... i'm your fire....

i miyagi-ed myself a fly in the house and fed it to the venus flytrap i bought several weeks ago....

the funny thing was that it closed with one of the legs sticking out.

it's so aeon flux...

someone clean out this vent

so i went to the 99 cent store with my mother when i was down in san diego for the chinese new year. as i walked into the store, some shite flew in my eye and immediately turned my eye red. like, so red, my mom freaked out.

i told her to chillax and i decided to put some rewetting drops in my eye.

as i grabbed my bottle and tilted my head up to put the droplets in, my eye immediately honed onto one of the vents in the ceiling.

isn't this INSANE? i wish i saw the virgin mary's face or something instead...

only at walmart

i had to return a christmas gift for phillip because target was cheaper.

while i line, i realized that the lady two people ahead of me had an oxygen tank in her shopping cart.

for some reason, i found that strangely fascinating.

it's like, how come i don't see her shopping at the h&m? that would be so awesome.

hmmm, you mean i save 90 percent?

lost in translation

someone should tell this dude what molestar sounds like in english.

i know the phrase means don't bother me.... but seriously, i'd bother him to let him know what that means... and then tell him to shave a little bit. it's not a good look for him methinks...

the gateway drug

this is a midpoint between adorable and hilarious.

this is some kid right after dental surgery. so funny!

disappointment

it's always a disappointment when you pull of out a swedish fish candy bag, a half bitten swedish fish.

first thing i do is blame the people who had some earlier.... and then i realize that the other half was still in the bag and somehow, the fish was fatally severed without any rhyme or reason.

yellow swedish fish... mmmmmm.

nessie

i was walking to my car when i saw this bumper sticker.

first thing that kicked in was my ocpd (obsessive compulsive personality disorder, not ocd, which is totally different) and i was like, "hello.... it's on crooked."

i read a short story by david rakoff about the loch ness monster.

this reminded me of hope and being silly.

plus, the next day, the owner of the car parked near me and he was hella hot.

is this considered a subliminal message?

is it me or does the wave of rebranding that happened recently gone mad?

i think that pepsi has the best one so far... as patriotism goes... i think that new pepsi logo looks completely like barack obama's presidental race logo!

you can judge for yourselves!

the ride of a lifetime

i don't understand the point of this, but i started laughing really hard

m.i.a.

sheesh! i didn't realize i've been away this long!

the holidays are always pretty busy for me. and i got a freelance job that lasted me over a week, so that kept me busy right up to christmas... and then i went out of town to visit the family. then suddenly it was new year's eve and i needed to get out my holiday cards and burn cds of lovely music for 40 plus people. and then school started several days later.... and then a friend from out of town stayed for about a week.


and then suddenly it's the end of january.

opossum revisited

remember when i told you about the opossum in my attic? well thank god phillip cut off the branches that touched my house so that it wouldn't climb into the hole.

it hasn't been in there since which is good for me. i don't hear these loud screeches anymore...

we have seen a lot of giantic droppings in one corner of my backyard next to the orange and persimmon trees. so we know that giggles (my nickname for now) has been around.

well, while cleaning out the bunnies for the night, phillip points out the fact that giggles was taking its midnight stroll on the fence between my place and the neighbors's.

i grabbed my camera asap and we did some photos. of course, this scared the shite out of it i'm sure. we cut up an orange and tried to feed it. it smelled it and then it just froze, or probably played dead, on the fence. and then after about five minutes, if finally climbed down the fence and disappeared into the night.

and then the other day, saul was walking to his car to go to jack in the box to get us all iced vanilla coffees, he heard something drop from the magnolia tree in the front yard and scurry underneath his car. this scared the shite out of him and he told me that something is underneath his car. i grabbed my camera and came out as it scurried across the street and underneath a car.

this is the resulting photo i got. there were cars driving by and i was in the middle of the street.

hopefully it wasn't stealing my soul with its eyes.

fun with craigslist

it's hard for me to ever take craigslist seriously.

i was looking at free stuff and someone put up a free bunny hutch in pasadena so i emailed and we arranged to meet at her place the next day. she didn't sound crazy like previous craigslisters that ana and i have dealt with. that story will come later when i have more time.

this lady's kid's bunny died several months ago (it was old) and she was like, "i don't want keep this around.."

so phillip and i took his truck and picked up this lovely free hutch that we think is worth at least 100 bucks and also an house cage that is worth 55 bucks!

everytime i see willow mouse sitting on top of her penthouse suite... i think:

i just adore a penthouse view, darling i love you but give me park avenue!

god, zsa zsa gabor and green acres was an awesome show. i miss it so!



willow mouse as a nun eating timothy hay



thank you craigslist lady!

hanging tough

ladies and gentlemen, i present to you... LADY GAGA!



i have to hand it to her. she puts on a show. she's kinda second rate when it comes to style... probably because she isn't backed up by disney and jive records like christina or britney... but i will say she puts her all in her shite.

i'm kinda annoyed with the fact that my favorite lady gaga song, DISCO HEAVEN, isn't in the US release. only the british. DUMB.

maggie k bought me a ticket to see new kids with her at the nokia theater in los angeles. omg, it was LOUD. the shrieks that stephanie tanner used to do in full house, times 7,000. it was insanely deafening! but enjoyable. i didn't expect myself to jump up and down and scream like a girl at the first beatles concert or setting my eyes on michael jackson.

i hadn't jump like this since i saw hanson on david letterman.

how fine is danny wood? superfine.











so cute. these guys totally aged sexily.

this video makes me smile for the entire 3:44 seconds. and i have to say, i was never a donnie wahlberg fan but i have to say, he's looking fine as well. ha ha ha.

3 years in the making

i finally got embarrassed and hung up my tord boontje garland lamp thing.

i bought it three years ago on santa monica in some cute home design store... and i finally hung it up in my mini hall area that divides into my bathroom, my bedroom, and my storage room.

and i'm pissed that i didn't hang it up sooner. it's so PRETTYYYYY.

dorothea lang's migrant mother

WOW!

this is such an awesome story!

nice

this is very nice.

i like lily allen. she's cute. i'm not a huge fan of hers via the tabloids, but i liked her first album alright. but i love the mark ronson collabo (thanks diana!) for "OH MY GOD."

lily allen - THE FEAR

sadness

so there's been a big black dog spotted in my backyard. the first time i saw it was on thanksgiving morning at around 5am. i looked out my bathroom window as i normally do to look at my rabbit hutch... and in the pen that i keep the rabbits in during the daytime, there was something big and black and furry just moving around.

of course this freaked the shite out of me. and several seconds later, a giant dog... somewhere between a big labrador and giant st. bernard... goes over to the hutch and just looks at my bunnies... the bunnies were totally thumping (which is what they do when they're threatened) and i was like "AHHHHHH!"

i woke phillip up and said "there's a giant dog outside the house!!!!! and it's looking at the bunnies!!!!!!"

seriously, the dog was bigger than ana.

so phillip woke up from his sleep and the first things out of his mouth was "shit, that's a huge fucking dog."

and when it hear us, and also phillip turned on the backlight, it left.

two nights later, i heard the rabbits thumping again. so i sent phillip outside to check.

we didn't see the dog, BUT i had just cleaned out the bunny pen and so there was all this water on the ground... and THERE ARE GIANT DOG PAWS RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE HUTCH!

(picture to come)

so i've been hella scared of going outside at night now. like, if you know where i lived, you'd know that i'm alway worried that something/someone would be in my backyard. i've already found some guy in my yard once before.

so last night, i fell asleep without putting the bunnies in the hutch, so i woke up after 1am and did the hutch.

i probably finished around two. i heat them a hot water bottle to try and keep them warm in their hideaway room.

anyways... around 3am or so, i heard them thumping. so i looked out my window but i didn't see anything... but they would repeatedly thump.

i turned on the backlight and didn't see anything... but the rabbits were thumping.

so this morning when we woke up, phillip told me that everything in the turtle pond was fucked up. the plants were knocked over, the filter system was not working...

so i get out of bed and looked at the mess...

the other thing is that we have residents who live across the street from us and they are ALWAYS getting raided... so there was like, five cop cars outside... maybe a drug dealer ran into my yard...

anyways.. we saw a turtle so we're like, i'll fix it after breakfast.

when i went to start the clean up... i looked around and ALL I SAW WAS ONE TURTLE AND ONE FISH.

for those of you who don't know, I HAVE FOUR TURTLES AND FOUR GOLDFISHES...

i start freaking out. i tell phillip and saul that all i see is one turtle!!!!

so saul went outside and we FOUND ONE UNDERNEATH THE TRASH CAN HIDING!

i looked at my plants and noticed a giant bite mark as well as a claw cut into the leaf. it was that damn black dog!

so we have one healthy turtle and the turtle we found outside, is missing its right front leg. :(

sadness.

the three giant orange goldfish/coyfish are gone. there's only one white fish left.

boo.

i'm so scared to be outside by myself right now! that dog is HUGE!

the circus is in town!

great hair, great nude top thing, great song.

music is my boyfriend

i've been on a heavy country music binge. the rule with my alarm clock is that it sometimes get's jostled and then the radio station will change. so when the dial is shifted, i am not allowed to put it back to what channel it was on. the closest channel that is clear gets to wake me up (try to anyways).

for the last several months, it's been on Go Country 105 in los angeles.

things i've learned:

country singers are realllly into one night stands

country singers are very patriotic

country songs make the most romantic/beautiful songs for that kodak moment

tim mcgraw is this close to replacing jeremy piven as the sexiest sonofabitch i've laid my eyes on.

rednecks are kinda sexy when they talk about hot rigging a tractor, soft curing a ham, and all that nonsense you don't really care about because you live in a metropolitan city.

their music videos are about one decade behind... sorry, but they suck. most of them. ;)

sorry this post has links and few direct videos. those country singers keep a right tight leash on their video usage... which i don't get...

so pretty

i've seen sea horses before... but i'm not sure i have ever stood there to watch them swim.

they are AMAZING! and so SURREAL!

this is the local pet store! they also have a sting ray!

tragedy

i went to jack in the box to get my daily coffee... i sorta parked a little too close to my house and so it was a tight squeeze between me, my coffee, my balenciaga, and the stuccoed wall... and when i closed the door to my car, the rear view mirror swung along with the door and knocked my one-sipped coffee to the floor.

ugly but good nuts

i found this sad and funny at the same time.

i'm not sure anyone bought any.

i wonder if the nuts know they're tasty and ugly at the same time. must be a blow to their egos.

joe recommends:

this totally made my day.

why? because there were plenty of children standing in line for their macchiatos and mochacinos and whatever else terrible for you at starbucks.

ain't nothing wrong with a little bump n' grind

fun with words

i was in michael's art store and i was walking around and i literally stopped in midwalk, took two steps back and looked at the display and started laughing.

after i took the photo, this lady with her toddler walked by. she saw it too and was not amused.

i saw this a long time ago and i forgot the name of the show.... but i was reading a magazine and it talked about a comedian that uses real people as his supporting cast and ta-dah!

i haven't heard from imani coppola in AGES! and i'm so glad i was reading through a magazine and some lady said that little jackie is one of her current favorite albums... so i decided to youtube her and i find out that imani coppola and adam pallin are little jackie! i remember watching the video for LEGEND OF A COWGIRL and thinking "this girl is whack!" but she's so fun! i remember her playing the fiddle and dancing on top of the diner counter! memories!

the sound of little jackie is like 60's funk with some good kelis. she has a couple of good videos, but this BLACK BARBIE SONG is off the hook hilarious! ;)

imani coppola - LEGEND OF A COWGIRL

meet the neighbors

so i'm convinced that one of the daughters that live next door (i'm not sure how many people there are in that family) is sneaking home at night into her room through my side of the fence. i've found a beach bag with sandals, suntan lotion, etc on the fence between their property and mine recently.... and last night, i heard a lot of heavy foot schuffling next to my bedroom window around 2am-ish. it was too heavy and sloppy to be an opposum i think.

i hope she's using protection with her harley riding goatee wearing boyfriend of hers (i imagine)! i bet you his name is probably weasel... or tiny.

thandie newton and ricky gervais

hilarious. thandie's a little too thin methinks.

i'm not in love with a british artist

i've never really been a fan of artist sam taylor-wood.

when i think of her, i think of long panoramas of people in a room... very stage-y, very melodramatic, and very celebrity name dropping. oh, and that sad sad music video for elton john and his cd sleeve artwork...

i am mixed about her work. she's married to damien hirst's art dealer... so she's privy to so many celebrities and creative ideas... so when i see her work, i'm like, that's total nepotism. (on this note: she just announced her divorce to him in september)

i saw her video work called THIRD PARTY when i was in nyc and it's basically you as the third party watching other people, celebs like marianne faithfull watching other people at a party. sorta boringish...



then i saw her work again, this time nudes in weird triptych type style images. i did like this floater. there was a series of them.



i had actually forgotten about her until i just saw her new video piece for a song she sings "I'M IN LOVE WITH A GERMAN FILM STAR."

as usual, she had done her best to disinterest me in her work. too conceptual for me? but at the same time it's sorta lazy right? i dunno. i do feel like this has been done before (cliche, je sais) and she hasn't done anything to really give it a twist.

I M IN LOVE WITH A GERMAN FILM STAR


it does however, remind me of the blond redhead song, TOP RANKING with fellow artist, miranda july and directed by mike mills. the twist is good enough to keep attention for the entire song, unlike taylor-wood's.

TOP RANKING - blonde redhead

roisin murphy in nyc! oct 24th!

one of my favorite singers, roisin murphy is making her us debut in nyc on oct 24th!

i am sooooo bummed out! she needs to visit la or i need to visit nyc!

ugh!

so sad!

if you haven't heard of roisin, you probably are wrong... she used to be in a band called moloko. they sang that theme song to great expectations called ingenue... it's a haunting song and unfortunately it's more creepie since gwyenth paltrow was in it. i kid.

anyways. i love roisin for several reasons. i think she writes the most cerebral disco flavored songs ever. an example is the song overpowered. the song is about oxytocin... the orgasm hormone... as well as the lactating hormone. that's so hot! another reason i love her so is that she rocks the gareth pugh couture shite like it's her second skin. and she dances.

i don't know if i ever posted her videos on here.. but i will now. these three songs are awesome! she also recorded a song with calvin harris called off & on which was amazing and was for the overpowered record but she ended up tossing it.. which is a shame cause i think it's AMAZING!

OVERPOWERED



LET ME KNOW



YOU KNOW ME BETTER

i am impressed

beyonce has always been such a bad dancer and now with about five years of practice, she's finally impressing me big time!

i love the song, the video is awesome with the choreography. simple, and much better than that get me bodied video which looked like a very long kahlua/alize beverage commerical....

i am excited to see what the new bey cd will be! all i know is that i ain't buying it until she rereleased 4 more times with 8 additional cds/remixes... like she always does.... sigh!

Ryan Trecartin

September 10 - December 7, 2008

Ryan Trecartin's videos uncannily reflect his generation, which grew up using the Internet, digital television, and interactive video games. He mixes cheap special effects with absurd narratives in which he and his regular cast of collaborator-friends act out a sort of Lord of the Flies for the 21st century. He tells sad love stories and bizarre family dramas utilizing technology to heighten the action and reflect today's incessant information overload.

In his latest work, I-BE AREA (2007, 108 min) Trecartin weaves together several unruly stories with fast-moving, fast-talking characters that deal with such themes as cloning, adoption, self-mediation, lifestyle options, virtual identities, and larger questions of an existential nature. I-BE AREA screens in the Video Gallery on the hour, every other hour.

Jets locker room is 87% stinkier since Brett Favre's arrival

By MJD

That overpowering stench of death in the Jets locker room? Oh, never mind that. It's just a rotting animal carcass that Brett Favre stuffed into a bag and put in Eric Barton's locker. From The Fifth Down:

Favre is notorious for shenanigans involving lockers, and since his arrival to the Jets in August, the tradition has apparently continued. The latest victim? Barton.

Barton could not remember whether it happened last week or the week before. Nor did he know exactly what kind of dead animal Favre shot (presumably), bagged and dumped inside Barton’s locker.

Some teammates believe it was a wild turkey, but regardless, they all gathered around Barton’s locker and engaged in fits of laughter. The dead animal was inside a bag that was filled with blood and guts.

A wild turkey? That's not a bad guess. I think it was Ken O'Brien.

Whatever the unidentified murdered beast, I guess it's a good sign for the Jets. It's like that old saying ... you know you're starting to feel at ease around someone when you feel comfortable enough to kill an animal, put it in a bag, and stash it among their personal belongings. In his own special way, this is Brett fitting in.

all summer long...

there's something about kid rock that is sorta sexy and sorta awesome. i can understand why pamela fell for him.

although this video is totally incorrect for a song about 1989... it has that dukes of hazards counry feel that makes it alright.
