First day: a very lovely L-KDbD (a low-key database day, naturally). I contacted various magazines to compile a list of art-writers (which I have discovered to be a very broad category).

Breaking News: Heath Ledger Dies!

I love the comfortable atmosphere here (complete with country music and infomercials in the background on the TV). Just like home :)

Second Week ExtravaFUNza

*i often peruse flickr for inspiration, and this week was no different.

*inspired by the 'dark' nature of oslo, i found what i was looking for to translate a vague notion of disorientation brought on by the intersection of technology and modernity. not sure why, but im definitely feeling like that lately. the thread in these images (besides the awesomeosity) is their location: grünerløkka, oslo. GEO QUIZ!!! this country has the second highest quality of life and the capital is oslo...any guesses kids? (hint: even the ugly people are hot.)

*ill begrudgingly admit that i have been getting re-acquainted with the fussy streets of SoHo. As opposed to before when i would walk in this nabe on autopilot, im slowly becoming aware of all the nooks and crannies in this english muffin of a hood.

*ive been talking to strangers on the phone all day, the database ran away, small town new jersey police have nothing to do, and emails galore await me in my intern throne.

*tip of the day goes to: people who work at glorified tshirt purveyors TIP: the retail concept of poor treatment = exclusivity and therefore 'coolness' is a little 2003... now youre just annoying.

*its official, the 'real' housewives are the official high sign of the endtimes

some hotness ive been lovin

*lars tunbjörk's book, 'vinter'
* fresh swedish absurdity from one of my favorite photographers, tunbjörk says, "I often feel beside myself in the winter time, and I try to go to warmer and lighter places. But the last couple of years I have travelled into the winter and darkness instead. Into areas, conditions and encounters in which I don’t really know where the outer and inner begins. And even less where it ends." personally, i love tunbjörk's work particularly because it turns the popular perception of swedish and scandinavian culture on its head. check it!

movie marathon + life is great

3 moms, 10 babies, 2 days
in a New Orleans hospital it seems, and at zingmagazine half the nonexistent winter scrooge poop was bagged over 2 days and 10 movies including the unexpectedly complex She's the Man and modern day classics such as Big Daddy and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
