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 Sebastião 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.

Best regards,

*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!

Super cool

And, again, super cool

Went uptown today to drop off and issue of zing and pick up a press pass from a woman on the 33rd floor of a very large, gold corporate building. After being denied entrance by the front desk (you have to have ID see, and my wallet was stolen last week) I decided to sneak around to the back. I found a nice maintenance man to take me through the windy back hallways of the building and escort me up to the office. After getting stuck on not one, but two elevators I finally reached the 33rd floor, delivered the copy of zing successfully and picked up the aforementioned press pass! I am so stealth.

This past weekend I saw Shine A Light on IMAX.
Keith Richards is OLD, man. Those super-size screens have no mercy...
Highly recommended.

QUESTION. Why is it easier to remember dates that end in zero like, 1480, more so than, say 1352? I mean zero is still a number right? We still take into account that it's there, right? Whyyyy then? Whywhywhy?
(................history exam soon....)

* team zing traveled over this here bridge four times in one day. its actually a group of ancient drawbridges that create traffic bottlenecks.

* luckily it was a beautiful day, and things went quick with eloquent team work. forget hillshire farms ' go meat' cheer, lets here it for TEAM ZING!

Strange & Beautiful

HOORAY for springtime!

This was inspired by a Sanitation Plantation truck that drove down 10th Street the other day....

The creation of the sanitation plantation station installation in the nation of animation is an interpretation validation of communication veneration.

OR

The gratification of occupation rotation in summation is a supposation of unification standardization. A fixation on procrastination creates an emasculation admiration. An abomination!

Off to see my first baseball game EVER! After tonight I will officially be 100% American.
