I ventured to meet my friend’s son, Ford, in the hospital. I made him a stuffed “F” and accompanying “ord” cube. The cube can also be rotated to reflect Ford’s mood.

jillsies:

Mr. Rennie is bringing his vastly expanded contemporary-art collection – thousands of pieces that experts say form one of the best private contemporary-art holdings in the world – to the east side, a place where he says his kind of art belongs. “The Downtown Eastside is marginalized, and a lot of what I have is about marginalization, oppression and resistance,” Mr. Rennie said as he walked through construction chaos a few days before opening.

In a move that meshes perfectly with Mr. Rennie’s interest in history and appropriation, the site of his museum is the 120-year-old Wing Sang building, where generations of early Chinese pioneers lived and operated their businesses.

He will open the museum to the public – once a week (Thursdays according to the Vancouver Sun) by appointment is the plan for the moment – but won’t charge admission. And he said the profits from his next five to 10 years of real-estate work will go to establishing a foundation to maintain the museum. He estimates it will take about 15 years to show everything he has collected, one exhibit at a time.

Whoa…time for a donut.

Because she’s back! Nothing like some Star Magazines and some HBNDS to keep you company, and some super juicy THs after 5 days of eating nothing…

Back from the brink after only being given a 999/1000 chance of survival!

I’m back from my 6 day stay at St. Paul’s for an emergency gall bladder removal. Not fun. Highlights included waiting 6 hours in emergency before being given any pain meds and having my hand swell up like a balloon. My IV came out of vein and all the fluid went into my hand which looked like a rubber glove full of hot air. I thought it was just another morphine hallucination but I did infact have a real case of Mickey Mouse hand. I thought morphine was supposed to be incredible but it made me paranoid and only chipped away at my unbearable pain. Next time Demoral. I don’t mind if my story inspires you. Go out in the world and live people, LIVE! Also bring me food, DVD’s and tabloids (perferably British) because I’m still crippled.

I received this e-mail from my brother today. I thought I should share it:

“There’s some weird shit out there on youtube, no doubt, but this, my friends, I can personally guarantee will launch straight into the top 5 weirdest youtube vids you’ve ever seen.

I found myself repulsed and fascinated, so get ready, it’s……..it’s amazing.”

““It used to be that you could accuse somebody (as Marcus liked to accuse black artists) of being a bourgeois sellout; but today, everyone without exception is a “bourgeois sellout,” because (in the age of “human capital” and self-entrepreneurship) being such is a minimum requirement for mere survival. Today, this is a structural condition of social existence, rather than a matter of personal integrity or choice.””

and how…

onwyn:

Breaking Bad. Apparently, cooking Crystal Meth requires lots of yelling and means a lot of annoying wifery… but it’s worth it.

This show is full of intriguing intros and awesome artsy shots that are sort of unexpected. The male characters are totally enigmatic and fun to watch, (especially Jessie, the young hot-shot who goes by Captain Cook… Anyone who isn’t in elementary school but can still yell things like “EAT IT” and like, really, really mean it is pretty much a-okay in my books). Unfortunately, the ladies are predictably irritating little buzz-kills whose only mission in life is to know what their husbands are up to, and seem to use a lot of hand lotion… But whatever, we always need someone to love-to-hate.

I really can’t think of anyone better to cook Crystal than a chemistry teacher, nor can I think of anyone I’d rather see wearing only an apron while doing it. BB is a fast paced, sparkly little bowl. Smoke it.

I FB’s MJ and FF death and hoax death like it Matt DAmon and Jeff Goldbloom… I feel dirty

amilniazi:

The manner in which media outlets choose to cover celebrity deaths is exhausting and depressing.

Though personally I find the fascination with the minutiae of his passing morbid, I understand the impact the death of a figure like Michael Jackson has on the world.

His influence is not lost on me.

But the rabid pace with which news centres feel they have to keep posting items, even when there’s no news to report, is confusing and disheartening.

I hate the term, but it’s an instance in which I think “Too Much Information” is appropriate and applicable.

I’ve worked in a newsroom for a few of these “sensationalist” deaths and I always wind up going home wanting to discuss the psychology behind celebrity obsession and our collective coping mechanisms. Why does a stranger’s death rally us together? Unfortunately for me, these are not very popular topics of conversation on a hot Friday.

Anyway, somebody famous died, so I’ll be working overtime.
