I lived on my own, which meant no cable, no TV, no home audio system, no kitchen or private bathroom. All for the bargain of less than $600/mo. But it had 20ft ceilings! Useful for just about nothing! I lived in a "commercial space" aka Home, Suite, Home, which among other things, was thoroughly illegal. But it was a fun little neighborhood, and an interesting experiment for me.

I think cannibalism will become more and more accepted in the coming year, especially with
over-population being a problem. And, of course, the nutritional value of [human flesh] is

--Yeah, maybe she thinks it's Frangelico.-Scott
On the topic of Frangelico and Mrs. Butterworth's, I was having a conversation with someone, that the two
should run off together and elope. It would be scandalous -- monk who's been involved
in the church his entire life leaves everything he's ever known for a cheap, sickly sweet floosey, thought
to already be married. The location of her husband, however, remains unknown. I don't know
-- it has potential.-Eleanor

want it to be your beautiful, sophisticated version of that.

Eddy:...her old knickers lie sunny side up...she always left them on the floor for mum to scoop up while I wouldn't have touched them except with those pincers that pick up radium behind thick walls...
--Waitress2:...he was sucking me like a madman when my mum walked in.
--Waitress:No! What did she say?
--Waitress2:Don't forget to do behind her ears/she always forgets that.
--Sphinx:...You're a brave little fart. So here goes: what walks on four legs in the morning, two legs in
the afternoon and three legs in the evening?
--Eddy: Man! In the morning of his life he is on all fours, in the afternoon when he is young he is on two
legs and in the evenings when he is erect for his women he sprouts the third leg.-

And oh my goodness: We've got a bent, doubled-over sticker of brass-plated pot-metal with a handle made from the
melted remnants of a Mennon Speed Stick deodorant applicator.
The techno-anthropologist in me goes into overdrive. I pick this shiv up, and I've got a fantastic Levi-Strauss
melange right here in my grip: It's all about retrofit, bricoleurism, transgressive subversion of mass-culture
consumerism, and an aching, eye-bulging plethora of raw hate.-Bruce Sterling
Today's major-selling fine artist is still regularly a company in every way. Assistants fabricate the bulk, if not the entirety of pieces. They stretch the canvas, paint the content, then wash the Range Rover....For every Walker Art Center, there's one hundred museums that can't get enough 12pt. Helvetica.-Kenneth FitzGerald in Emigre48
I got nervous. She got sexy.-Sadie Benning's "It Wasn't Love"
So are you saying that I'm a glitter enabler?

I THOUGHT BACK UPON THE BEST FIVE MINUTES OF MY LIFE. IT WAS IN THIRD GRADE, WHEN A DRAGONFLY LANDED ON MY FINGER. FOR A WEEK IT WAS THE TALK OF THOUSAND OAKS. NOT A DAMSELFLY, THEY SAID, BUT AN HONEST TO GOD METALLIC GREEN DRAGONFLY. THE HARLEY-DAVIDSON OF INSECTS.-Cometbus44
