go fish

today i am listening to: the cardigans - the great divide

"i think art has something to do

with an arrest of attention

in the midst of distraction."

- saul bellow

She comes in colors everywhere

She combs her hair

She's like a rainbow

Coming, colors in the air

Oh, everywhere

She comes in colors

Have you seen her dressed in blue?

See the sky in front

And her face is like a sail

Speck of white so fair and pale

Have you seen a lady fairer?

- Rolling Stones

knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit,

wisdom is not putting them your fruit salad....

(so is ketchup a glorified smoothie? ..right?)

"It is one of the blessings of old friends

that you can afford to be stupid with them."

- Ralph Waldo Emerson

If you always do what interests you,

at least one person is pleased. - Katharine Hepburn

"good luck exploring the infinite abyss" - garden state

we fall but our souls are flying - decemberists

"if you never, you should.

these things are fun and fun is good"

-dr. seuss, one fish two fish red fish blue fish

"then the carousel started,

and i watched her go round and round...

all the kids tried to grasp for the gold ring,

and so was old phoebe, and i was sort of

afraid she'd fall off the goddam horse,

but i didn't say or do anything.

the thing with kids is,

if they want to grab for the gold ring,

you have to let them do it and not say anything.

if they fall off, they fall off,

but it's bad to say anything to them"

-j.d. salinger, catcher in the rye

"if i didn't care for fun and such,

i'd probably amount to much.

but i shall stay the way i am,

because i do not give a damn" - fame

opoo, ahh, kickstart my heart

hope it never stops

and to think, we did all of this...

to rock

today i'm listening to: grizzly bear - knife

hey there, gang.

it's been a while.

and some miles.

let's get kickin.

(those who hear not the music

think the dancers are mad.)

check out this website ----> do it
(if you like cool stuff- it will make your day.)

oooooo barracuda.

i'm not trying to impress you,

but i swim without floaties...

aaaaand let's get cultured.

yesterday i saw the broadcast of danny boyle's

stage production of frankenstein.

couldn't get tickets in london...

so tivoli tickets would do.

and. it. was. mother-lovin FANTASTIC!

nothing's better than theater... even if you have to see it in a movie theater. but maybe one of the coolest parts of the production is that the two title characters switch roles every night.

(how do you like them apples?)

oh danny boyle... we're not worthy

let's rollerskate for daysssss.

now THAT'S sporty spice.

"dont ask yourself what the world needs.

ask yourself what makes you come alive.

because

what the world needs

is people to come alive"

-genius anonymous

i must listen deeper...

sharpen my knife

something has changed the angles of the trees,
their color.

questions with no place to land.

where it is & where you're at.

"damaged people are dangerous.

they know they can survive."

-Josephine Hart

bona/fide

today i'm listening to: the strokes - under cover of darkness

what a weekend for headlines and history

"justice has been done"

and

some girls really do grow up and become princesses

(i'm no royalist, but friday was a beautiful day)

if you're not
on top of the world,
get up here,
quick.

my recent friend-find of london is here from spain to learn english.

he watches a lot of movies/tv to help the process

sensical, no?

anyway, his show of choice?

sex and the city.

apparently it teaches him "everything he needs to know."

amen to that.

and i love me some public transportation.

but this windows-down-weather is killin me

the entertainment industry has me baffled

(to the max)

hollywood worship is weird. period.

so, in the wake of that, have you seen

"i'm still here"?

..................maybe you should.

pretty interesting.

...he was charlie sheen-ing

before charlie sheen-ed

and last night i got to see Pina

have you seen Pina yet?

..................you really should.

pretty much brilliant.

--i know i posted the actual movie preview earlier,

so if that didn't spark your fancy,

try some slices of vollmond--

"i'm not interested in how people move,

but in what moves them" - pina bausch

i dare you to move me.

i've been up to no good lately. thinking to much and laughing too little

but pina put me in that dancing mood

so here's some scott wells love.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBRITLscG14

for those without the dancey-heart and/or a short attention span

skip to 2:15 and

GET. ME. ON. THAT COUCH.

or since i'm feeling extra political AND dancey this weekend

why not shake 'em up?

(this is old, but great all the same)

dance-debating? like breakdance-fighting.

in slooowww mooootion

jane comfort's a beast.

"this is your wakeup call"

"I tell you, we are on earth to fart around,

and don't let anybody tell you different" kurt vonnegut

okay that was fun.

now back to my four (4) day weekend.
