Not in Kansas

These are amazing. Check out all 25 Abandoned Monuments.

"They were designed by different sculptors (Dušan Džamonja, Vojin Bakić, Miodrag Živković, Jordan and Iskra Grabul, to name a few) and architects (Bogdan Bogdanović, Gradimir Medaković...), conveying powerful visual impact to show the confidence and strength of the Socialist Republic."

boys size 4.5

Finally got new kicks that aren't terribly geriatric or horrifically sporty. Phew! I'm done shoe shopping for the fall/winter.

The paintings of VINCE CONTARINO

The first one is 60" x 50" (as tall as me) imagine sitting in front of it.

warehouse

maybe someday I'll own a warehouse to live and work in - probably more practical than a tiny gypsy home.

These are nice. The blue one is some random internet finding. The purple one is in a lovely spot up in Fells Point, Baltimore.

invading my mind

I've become obsessed with sweets and pastries - I blame it on the Cornell biography I've been reading. Yesterday I ate a brownie, cherry danish, ginger ale & frosty. His biography keeps mentioning that many of his diary entries are nothing more than notations of the sweet snacks he ate.

I love that he genuinely loved his own art and created for creations sake. Accolades and gallery shows were only an added bonus and when requested to create pieces for shows at prestigious museums he would turn them down because then his creations would no longer be his art but just plain "work". Though fickle and flawed he was still true to himself.

Does this song sound like it would be in a rom-com? Sure it does!
Does his somewhat forced raspy voice sound like Jason Mraz? I think so too.

Judge me if you want I still like it - Im such a sucker for a banjo



And why the heck not? While we're at it lets jam out to Dolly professing her love to Burt Reynolds

collision of meat, bones, brain and subway

A metro train and a man collided yesterday evening causing mayhem on my commute home. Witnesses believe he intentionally jumped in front of the train.

After part of the rail shut down, weak, obese, and the elderly were forced to climb massive amounts of unmoving escalator stairs causing multiple faintings and other issues. This led to the closure of yet another metro station causing all following trains to route past to the next available station which assisted in causing crazy amounts of street traffic not only heading South West but also North East.

After waiting for a connecting shuttle bus where I witnessed people shoving pregnant women and mothers with young children to the back of the line and then being denied entry onto an empty bus that was intended to shuttle the displaced commuters - I decided to walk 2 miles to the next station that was running trains in both directions but taking turns on a single track. All in all it took me 3 hours to get home. In case of state emergency I've learned that I'll probably die in the city without even a chance. Whoop de doo.

i wonder

Wonder if I could live in one of these without losing my mind. I really enjoy owning stuff and having space to work but I dream of living like The Goat Woman from Frazier's Cold Mountain - only instead of raising goats I buy meat from the grocery store.

failure is an option

Steve Jobs died yesterday. It saddens me more than I thought it would - he was pretty great.
