I have no words to describe this, the ‘Meatini’
Robert Longo’s All You Zombies:Truth Before God
Jeff gave me a book many moons ago called “The Gendered Cyborg” which is a bunch of feminist art critique. I found most of the book incomprehensible (use smaller words, in context, puhlease), some of it actively offensive (in the ‘inhaling your own exhaust’ sense), and the rest of it mildly disturbing/thought provoking. But if you want REALLY disturbing, check out this piece of art, which I think is one of the best of the 20th century. And I never would have known about it if Jeff hadn’t given me the book.
Robert Longo’s All You Zombies:Truth Before God
As you may have guessed, zombies are much on my mind these days.
I have never wanted to go to Sarnia before
Now I’ve heard everything
Mike’s Utilikilt is on its way
As an act of compleat frickin insanity, I ordered Mike a Utilikilt for his birthday. Yes, I ordered it too late, but on the other hand, it’s never too late. Yes, a black one, is there any other kind? A Chinese guy in a kilt? Well, what else is he supposed to wear for occasions like this? Not to mention fetish night, or any time he has to work outdoors. It’ll be good for Wreck Beach, too.
Anyway, they just emailed me the tracking number, so I am assuming from this that I should see it in a couple of days – it’s only coming from Seattle. And then, I get to see him model it. A utilikilt has a thousand uses, and in this heat…. yeah. Let the boys swing free!!!
I can think of at least eight guys I would love to see in a Utilikilt. Mike McG (hell, he’s got the right last name); Robof9; LTGW; Keith; Tom L.; Tom U.; Paul (of course); and Battery. The idea of a Maori in a kilt isn’t as strange as you might think.
Brilliant short video
Tarot reading
Re the next year:
- V swords
- IX Cups
- Death
- II Cups
- X Wands
- Page of Cups
- The High Priestess
- VIII Cups
- The Empress
- Ace of Cups
After winning a contest by trickery (or having won, gloat too hard and too long), and overcoming the inertia of self-satisfaction, I was smacked by Death into reconsidering all aspects of my life, including the notion that I have to be paired up with somebody in a romantic relationship. I put down a large burden (my job) and am now contemplating a gift of wisdom and self-knowledge. Filled with knowledge I may not reveal, I seem to be turning my back on ordinary life to take a lonely, moon-watched journey. But the outcome will be fecundity, richness, and an outpouring of the gifts of the Spirit of Life.
An unbelievable layout. I knew Death would be in the layout, and there it is, right at the top.

You can see god!
I know the Bible is supposed to be read with discernment, but if I can’t keep a straight face don’t expect me to discern anything.
I don’t know who this guy is, but I want to meet him

Linda from Kanata sent me this.
It’s a ‘spontaneous’ dance from Sound of Music, performed by dozens of dancers in a Belgian train station.
