Where I End and You Begin

Watched Blue Velvet last night. Reactions: What just happened? Awesome lighting. David Lynch is insane, but I love it.
--
Photographs courtesy of SebastiĆ£o Salgado. Fantastic, fantastic.


--
For your viewing pleasure: Radiohead, Live from the Basement.
Thom Yorke will never cease to fascinate me.
--
Staying in the music category, I have fallen back in love with Johnny Cash. That man was just born cool.

So, this is my last day at zing :( I'm bummin' but it's been fun.
What I learned:
-How to use the corrupt system that is the Canal St. Post Office (I'm v. concerned about a riot breaking out there in the near future)
-How to find hidden galleries in the LES; believe me they are superbly hidden
-How to use a fax machine (paper goes UPSIDE-DOWN)
-If you have a job anywhere at all, I can find your contact information. Watch out.
-That magazine placement on store shelves is a bigger deal than one might think
-It IS possible to fashion a large cardboard box out of many small cardboard boxes. (Note: lots of duct tape needed)
-How to make a spreadsheet for virtually anything
-How to become an envelope loading/stamping machine
-That this place is awesome. Period.

As a final gesture I will bombard you with images. Thank you artnet. Enjoy.

and one last time, peace&love to all!

Move Over Heavens Gate...New Style Icons Are Fresh Off the Compound


*Has anyone seen these ladies and their awesome Larry interview? If not, get thee to You Tube yo. They have officially replaced Heavens Gate as my new style icons. Why, might you ask? Well, besides a shoulder poof that gives the year 1889 a run for its money, can we even start talking about those colors? Who knew gentle pastels could contrast with the desert and underage marriage so well?

!!! Emails Say the Darn'est Things !!!


*Dear Intern Hottie,

Attached please find a press release and photo of the MiniMAX UV-5A, the battery-operated, long-wave UV lamp perfect for determining the authenticity of paintings and other art objects.

We hope your readers will find value in this product and you will publicize it in one of your upcoming issues.

*Intern Full Disclosure Corner: Okay...I admit it...I work for the Motel Duvet Cover Awareness Coalition, and had to let you all in on this awesome blacklight, so that next time you stay away from your own bed, you can keep yourself from the nastiness that you know some heathen left on top of that duvet cover!
