Independent and stubborn, you rarely stray from your vision - no matter what it is.
You are an excellent listener, with almost infinite patience.
You have complex, deep feelings, and you take great care to express them.

In love, you truly see relationships as an opportunity to connect and grow.
You enjoy relationships as long as they are improving and changing. You can't stand stagnation.

At work, you stay motivated and happy... as long as you are working toward a dream you support.
You would make a great photographer, alternative medicine guru, or teacher.

When other people don't get you, they see you as: Manipulative, weak, and unstable

event: LACMA awesome art book sale, Th 12/13 and Fri 12/14 12-4pm

2007-12-12T22:39:57Z

Did you know LACMA has a research library? Well, they do. It is open to the public by appointment, and materials don't circulate. They do what museum libraries do best -- serve the curatorial staff, provide information about items in the museum's collections, and help collectors research the art market.
This Thursday and Friday, December 13th and 14th from 12-4 p.m., the LACMA Research Library will be holding its first annual holiday book sale. The library will be selling materials from its ever-growing collection of art books, exhibition catalogs, and Christie’s and Sotheby’s auction catalogs. They will have what promises to be a large collection of new and used art books of all varieties, and the prices will generally be half of what you might find these books for used anywhere else.

in Croat, translates as "My dear, my penis is a mountain." This mistranslation of "You know my dear how we love your mountains" helped the Croatian soccer team beat England. Or, as they say, England flops shafted by enormous todger.

Isn't language great? As Krazy Kat says, language is what we use "that we may mis-unda-stend each udda."

new peccary!

2007-11-06T03:46:23Z

New Species Of Peccary Discovered In Amazon

This species has been christened giant peccary (Pecari maximus) by the researchers on account of its size. The holotype of the species can be found in the museum of the Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazônia (INPA) in Manaus. The giant peccary was known by the local Tupi Indians as Caitetú Mundè, which means ‘great peccary which lives in pairs’.

"The Radical Movement for Rebetiko Dechiotification and Bouzouki Detetrachordization claims for unity against :

the imperialistic tyranny of the four-course bouzouki
the subsequent indigestible syrtaki-like fake music served in oily greek restaurants
occidental major scales and imported kitsch rythms
interminable fat tremolos running along the neck and swooning german old biddies.

"The Radical Movement for Rebetiko Dechiotification and Bouzouki Detetrachordization unilaterally demands :

the uncompromising rehabilitation of the trichordo bouzouki
the closing of all restaurants dealing with breakable plates and electronic rythm machine
zeimpekika se dromos sampach kai tsiftetelia se dromos kartsigar (mono)
two-finger playing only, but with the soul, the guts and the balls (Markos-like)

" FACTS

Trichordo bouzouki provides a delicious open tuning (D-A-D), neither major, nor minor, allowing sweet oriental combinations. Four-course bouzouki (8 strings) is tuned D-A-F-C, like the 4 first strings of the poor occidental guitar. Tetrachordo bouzouki was obviously created to play greek rumba and turkish bolero. This is injurious to our ears."

poem: The Orange

2007-09-05T03:39:10Z

The Orange

dinner.
after dinner,
an orange

its gleaming flesh has taunted me for days
memories of a sweet day on the beach
sweet kisses
sweet embraces
sweet kisses

I venture an exploratory bite.
Tender, watery, overripe,
I take a bigger bite.

With each piece taken I take a larger piece,
wolfing down the segments of the orange.
A mound of peels in the trash.

The last of the peels, the last of the orange,
I sigh and lick my lips.

Walking slowly away, I unwrap the coup de grâce:

the chocolate.

my relaxing weekend

lovers
our backs in the sand
smelling of orange chocolate
