ok now we are switching to Joe Grillo’s camera for some party photos
i was not a vigilant party photographer last night because there were so many people to talk to and who wanted to buy stuff and so much to do!

oops we are back to set up

shit it even looks awesome with flash shit

fuck yes!!

maria

i really wanted to do this show for many reasons

a big part of jeffrey’s program was about connecting the awesome underground energy of the 80s with the very similar and exciting art moment we are in and the underground artists working today

so like Haring Basquiat even Clemente and Schnabel things he did
the stephen sprouse show
debbie harry
alan vega

he wanted to relate them to the awesome people crossing over from music to art, graffiti to art, being interdisciplinary, making the downtown scene exciting again

that urge is where the Live Through This book came from in 2005

his essay LIVE THE ART is really good at articulating the similarities he sees between his experiences in the 80s (when he was my age) and then what i have been connecting with now

so it was really natural for me wanting to highlight this connection to actually just PAIR TWO ARTISTS together and do a collaborative show

so people can see the links and connections and also see the differences and innovations
on both sides

kenny and drd met down in miami in 2004 at that big show we did

it was my first year going down to miami and i was “in charge” of doing a dearraindrop show in a craig robbins building in the design district

the day before i got down there Billy from DRD backed a scissor lift through a 15 foot plate glass window there

the situation continued to be difficult throughout the show
someone had booked drd at the shittiest scariest hotel i have ever seen
someone left a case of booze at the space that i consistenly drank while staffing the space

i wasn’t the responsible business woman then that i am now 🙂

i made out with many interesting people that year tho

so many people dressed up last night yay!!!!
and one of these people is related to Joe!

this is Elena! she works with us here now

was this the photo dude? shit i never got his card

whee!

owen and his girlfriend who made the interactive instrument installation

whee!
and oh yeah:

the money shot

yay!!!!! come see HOT GLUE HULLABALOO and say hi to me back here

born to be wildberry

flying south

you guys better come hang out with me thursday this show is going to blow you away

i am outta here one sec

i went south for the fall real fast to see the aged parents
fall in reverse!

waking up is hard to do

we went fishing and found this creepy dead heron

and this lone poobag

we are explore

upton is scrambs

he can scramb up anything!

he is brave

he put worm on hook for me

oh boy!

nothing is better than watch upton scramb up something

he is slow lorris

he gets bbq reward

we go to shakespeare play as reward too

it was ALL’S WELL THAT ENDS WELL which is actually a pretty psycho play if you have read or seen it

they all need to take a serious chill pill
running around being crazy having sex with the wrong people in the dark and forced marriages and infidelity

cant we all just get along

dc is very relax and has nice mornings

upton took nice morning g pic

and blue house pretty

and weird graffiti

time to make pumps

mom scoops pump while buddy #2 is bored

yay!
wait it is not dark

wait that doesnt help

better

better!

bye aged parents i will see you soon
i love you and you make me feel so much better
as does this cute video of upton being tickled

get ready for the next HOLE OPENING

it’s not till thursday but there is already so much fun in here

don’t worry i wont spoil it

i want to take a moment to reflect on our last show
as i so often charge into the future without chewin all the yum outta my previous gum

the dog is in the details

this reminds me of picabia

this is a very bad baby

this reminds me of teratoid heights

this guy licks carpet

harumphy frog

more braaaaiiinnnssssss

for my dolphin teeths

i think in a moment of phrasing furvor i wrote that this piece featured “Goya-esque kiddie nibbling”

judith and holofernes?

mmm yummy shrimps

here is one little mat that didnt make it into the show
i love it!
we must take this to miami

but we must live in the now
this is me early morning back of the ryder truck to go unload the DRD

oh boy

this is suzanne’s but chair that is awesome
chair from behind!

aurel from the front!
we are at this art show now

i promised you the reading public that i would bring you interesting art but it cant JUST be the art that i show here right?
there is good art out art there to sniff if you know where to sniff

the above paintings were Louie Eisner, this is by Brendan Lynch

Lucien made this

jack made this room: viewable only through a hole in the wall and a meditation on “the artist’s studio”

these girls were meditating so long in front of it i had to clear my throat really loudly
art hogs

Jane Moseley
this one is less intersting than the next one which is great:

i love this!

this was cool zoomed in on but

less cool zoomed out

this one is weird

i dont like art that looks to easy
i dont like art that “is what it is” usually
(not said in reference to the above photo, just generally)

i like terence

and jack

and brendan’s other piece that relates to this one but has more punch

the setting was pretty loud

the art oddly not so
or maybe i have just been in my neon explosion show too long?
if i were going to give one thoughtful criticism on their show, bearing in mind they are all young artists either in art school just out of or didnt bother, i would say the art is too savvy
it has too much of an eye trained on the art world microtrends of now and not enough trained on the outside world. it makes too many safe decisions. it is too meta aware of itself
that is if i put on my fussy harsh critic hat
which i rarely dust off

it could use a bit more “energy of the streets”, let’s say

it could be wilder and freer and more dangerous

as all my favourite things are

this is today; fruitless brooklyn errand bothering me

back in soho with the glue gunners
got something neon? bring it in and we will stick that shit to the walls

now is the summer of our discontent made glorious fall by the awesome fall shows at The Hole!

i hate summer and i love fall
for manifold reasons

i like how everyone messes up the above quote when they crop it to “now is the winter of our discontent”
a paraphrase of the full sentence would be “right now is glorious summer and the winter of our discontent is over because Edward IV (sun and son of York) has ascended to the throne”
but it is said sarcastically

today was the last day of the Mat show and in a few hours, Dearraindrop arrive from Virginia Beach!
yesterday i went to Lauren Cornell’s internetty opening at the New Moo

i was happy to see this was not an “aids 3D” piece
amanda ross ho made it if i remember correctly? its neat
you have to see the scale to get the interest i think

this piece touched on my personal feelings vs objective curatorial feelings:
i personally privately or whatever have strong feelings about “art in the digital age” and love corny things that i shouldnt like 8bit like chip tunes like anythign old video game looking like bad GIFS like internet commenting. i actually suggested to avery he make a piece of hilariously juxtaposed angry internet commenting recently
and he looked at me like “are you kidding”
and it took me a second to realize that was a corny idea
because of my intense personal proclivities

patrick if patrick was a girl?
(the fabric is covered in pins)

speaking of patrick i bumped into him today!!!
it was so weird
he was on his bike stopped at the light by the bowery mural, he would barely look at me or say anything it was horrible!!!

as much as i love clunky analog dinosaurs lingering in art, i would love to see slide projectors retired forever

the wall label described these photos as explorations of how digital cameras can fuck up (was one of them called “digital flare”? that doesnt sound right… fuck.) and that sounds really exciting! but then none of that excitement is present in the piece

this was a surprise favourite: Hanne Mugass did i spell that right?
items on ebay that people have bootleg customized with modern art
this photo is not the best photo unfortunately
a good reason to go see in person!

takeshi’s piece is banans:
he essentially spent months and months finding a new way to make a video (after pioneering the data moshing technique and making the best videos with the hacking existing clips method) and learned all the 3d animation thingies and made this crazy POPEYE movie
the copyright for POPEYE just expired, which is weird the idea of expiring copyright, so takeshi made a bootleg popeye movie from memory that was all these sad fucked up anti-hero vignettes like him chugging spinach and destroying his apartment in a spinach-drunk rage, him getting evicted, etc

whee!
i missed a few pieces in the show due to excessive crowding but look! who is that blonde on the left?

upton and i will eat more coffee-rubbed burgers while you figure it out

its SALEM!

the blonde was jack, heather and john are the other two bandmembers

you guys bought their new album right? you should

they played Santos last night and it was packed and super

with liberal use of fog machine

i had to listen to their album over and over for the i-D article and i felt like a dorky groupie because i knew, like, alll the songs
the research i did for the article also indicated that many people dont think hearing them live is an improvement, but the sound system at santos is so stellar and the lighting was great and everything seemed awesome i dont know what “the internet” is talking about

from spooky to folky: Jd’s band MEN played after them! late night

JD has fantastic stage presence i love watching her

i play softball and i love watching JD perform!

thank you spencer!

where am i now

oh why thank you i woud love to sit here and have big free bottle of whiskey!
this place is great!

boys are great

blondes are great!

look at the brunette getting face pushed outta the frame!

“we are totally partying”

the only place that would let us and our underage and unidentified friend in at 3am was this drag club

we were into it

upton was not into the secret one way glass thingie

there is always someone watchin

ack

we were pretty blurry by this point

i forgot to photo it but there was a photo in Lauren’s show of a night sky in time elapse showing all the stars leaving trails but then three geo-synchronous satellites were three big bright dots with no trail and i liked that photo

and offer this, my drunk recreation

hey that big seeder fireextinguisher is gone! the whole building is gone!

i noticed that on my way to softball

its our “world series” and we are playing Juicy Lucy for the… pennant? or no that is the wrong word. the…championship
im going to go with championship

i did like one good thing and then a million stupid crappy things; i was being a blunder bus
my arm is so sore and i feel all old and un-sporting thing, it’s so sad!

it’s really fun to spend a morning into afternoon hanging out playing sports though
i need sports to feel normal my life does not make sense without some sport

adult sports: the number of like knee and elbow braces is ridiculously high

yellow is yellow

ear is ear

“What do I fear? Myself? There’s none else by. / Richard loves Richard; that is, I am I.”

i worked every day this week it’s starting to make me go insane
normally i would not blaspheme a flannery oconner title this badly

blast from the ben past!

boy london was a hit! go see it while it is up at Viktor Wynd Fine Art

quick change for PAPER shoot!

love it

LOVE IT!!!

secret until the november issue comes out!

ooh i made coffee rub burgers two nights ago

they are 97% would make it again rating on epicurious!

yum

yuck!
this photo was way funnier when we were wasted

next time 🙂

uh oh we are lost in the depths of Upton’s camera

where are we? this looks like breakfast yesterday

sexy sweet potato home fries and all

we thought we would go to the dog show at the Javitz Center instead of just the dog park in Tomkins

wait for it

there we go!
yay! its like an art fair but with petting!

oh boy

oh no

this owner kept making her basset hound spin around and around
it should have barfed on her shoes

there were lots of dogs just everywhere!!!

i like this booth

that is called a peekanese right?

aw!!!!

oh no!!!!

oh noooooooooo!!

oh yes

this is, like, the happiest i have been in months

Upton’s photos consisted mostly of dog show fashion

and police dog confiscations 🙂

🙂

then he chatted the guard into letting him take photos of the big train depot over there

wait where is my camera of stuff

yay im in heavennnnnn
i dont even know which dog im petting im just petting everythign in sight!!!!

i like how it looks like the dog walked up to the booth and is asking the man a question
“excuse me but do you have any hot bitches in here?”

sorry
“dog humour”

cute!

wait
is that guy like pushing on the doggies nipples? is this photo creepy to anyone else?

this one certainly is

this one too!
things get weird at dog shows, as famously captured in christopher guest movei

i like how uptons hair relates to the dogs hair
im really into, like, visual relationships and patterns finding resonance across, like, species

i like this all wiry like dog

wanna smell my hand?
nonononononono

these breed of dog are called “lambs” which is really gross

all the tuckered pups on a sunday afternoon!

moo

hey look at this dogs butt

and the sweet face on this one!

what a ponce

what a yutz

what a sneeze factory!
terence was the one who suggested i go to this thing and said to check out the devon rex cats but i sneezed myself out of the cat section as soon as i got to persia!

we are outta there for some fresh airrrrr

west 30s and the river is a funny area

not unexplored by man

or god

met this weirdo last night was it?
last night can eat a dick
makes me lose my faith in some of the main things i like
like people
and graffiti
and drinking

but had fun playing pool with upton i beat him 2 outta 3!

if i brag too much he will beat me next time

had yummy calamari with upton’s family

there they are!
cute

this is today
finally a real tag on the gross street art building

can you tell by the posture who i am hanging out with?
it’s jeffrey!!!!!! back from LA!
it’s funny how reassuring and calming it was to see him, psychologically
when in the past seeing jeffrey meant going into panic terror mode
jeffrey! he is so happy and laid back now
or should i call him…. jeff???

i forgot to show you guys that 18 woo is now an awesome LEVIS print photo shop

you can go print out photos and shoot photos with their shit ANYTIME how sweet is that
i gotta go
i am going to print out all these dog photos on their 48″ printer see how they like it!

i’m warning you that 3/4ths of this post is just food

it’s not my fault, i keep trying to go out, there is nothing going on, or rather nothing in the past few days that i wasn’t afraid of bumping into patrick at

not that i care but i didn’t want to make him upset
not that i should care at all

this is what my brain has been doing
don’t you wish sometime there was like a “return to factory settings” button?

this is me and Jules at this new retaurant on orchard called FAT RADISH

the carrot thingie

the duck thingie
don’t be turned off by the word “kombucha squash” it was actually fantastic

the beet cake
purple in the light
purple on the way out?

sorry im an “a mood” today

scott said i was a lesbian for playing softball in my spare time
but he was excited because he always wanted a lesbian friend

the last super rainy night we tromped over to Teddy’s new studio
wow!

wow think of all the books this could have. this is my dream. floor to ceiling recessed bookshelf
when i make it big, this is the first thing i am going to install

scott said mine stood for Pussy Juice because im a big fat dyke

ok this is the only “event” i attended on this post

tim barberino had a show of running photos!

yay i found him!

we are at that weird Nike space on the bowery

pretty neato inside
shocking! can you tell from the overhead lights pattern that Rafael de Cardenas designed this space?

some fun details

i think my boyfriend is jealous of how many ADEKs i post on this thing but this one wasn’t my fault! tim did it!

sigh
im so sick of getting kicked out of bars

it was pouring and we barely made it to Momofuku unsoggied

i’ve been wanting to eat here for FOREVER
a downpour meant only a 10 minute wait

oh by goodness you cant believe how excited i am

ramen boner
i could eat ramen every night

now that i am on a by proxy seratonin kick, i can confess that one thing i feel good about is right this second i finally finished and sent to print three HUGE articles on Salem, Rafael de Cardenas, and Mat Brinkman

three totally different parts of brain, but then maybe the Mat Brinkman extreme starts to double back on part of the Salem area??? kinda like Libertarians are liberal to the point of being neo-republican?

hey its not like i take a photo of EVERYTHING i eat; im eating a chick pea salad right now that you will never know how awesome it looked with it slittle arugula tuft and hidden nubbins of fresh mozzarella cheezers

upton and i have been having a really fun week together now that pharmaceutical drugs have evened our playingfields

it takes balls to take arms against a sea of troubles and by opposing end them
yummy apple pie momofuku balls

next morning taking a fun Cobble Hill drive over to get some arts from Paul Bright

took a photo for the signage, wound up with fun GLACER tag
horay!

teen ran out to snap this, who is this guy?

just think of all the people all around the earth reclaiming advertizing space, public space, decrepit space for graffiti

gives you a warm fuzzy feeling inside, doesn’t it???

this is Paul’s cool storefront on Atlantic Ave that he is in progress on
art and cool furniture, art and design, awesome

this is a low overhead storage place where i bumped my head on a beam

mission accomplished!

we were picking up some coool Ben Jones paintings and speaking of Ben, he sent me a photo of this huge Atlanta mural he just completed
old school styles

upton got sleepy later that night

but woke up for feeding time

as you can see there was no actual Poutine in this post, i just am experimenting by having kinda porn-y sounding titles to see if i can get some people trolling for porn onto this site to see some art (and food) (and graffiti)

cover the earth!

my body was toying with the idea of being sick for a week and today decided that yes, indeed, it felt like being really sick

small morning glories for a minorly glorious morning

i am overwhelmed with work and need a hand
anyone??

i cooked this for dinner two nights ago sorry it looks gross
curry hollandaise sauce, fried egg, canadaian bacon, garlicky spinach, english muff diver
it was really good!!!!

earlier that night
some permutation of The Roots and Mos Def and other people i dont know much about playing at the closing party for REFORM SCHOOL

better with the lights off

monday night was pretty fun!

especially the rainstorm part

ha ha wet ones

earlier monday:

softball!
i play softball sometimes

it’s really fun
i sucked that day though
dove for a foul ball and had it bounce out of my glove at the last second
just despicable

PG Tips and peachy tits
Wynd gave me this cool Hendrick’s tea set that i have been using

someone left a booger in the grocery store

nocturnal teen dressing weird

thinking about Dash in weird places like the Fine Fare

life keeps blowing alternately hot and cool
fever delerium and horrible chills
im sick and overwhelmed!!!

its a big relief the big school benefit is over
it was un gran succes!

this fantastic piece by Jack Greer found a home
in the name of charity!

found a pocket of older unpubbed photos
or did i pub these already?

anyone remember me pubbin em?

handy

hairy balls

this is last night i made carne asada tacos that were really good
sorry my feet are in the picture
is that gross?

you guys know we have a CAFE back here at the hole now too, right?
i promise i will not put my feet near your food

that is a “button” on my “toolbar”
i don’t know what it does

my camera is kind of working again!
it took a pretty in focus shot of Alison Schulnik’s very painterly pintar up on my very screenic screen

thank jeebus!

i just wanted to post a little REFORMS SCHOOL before i have to go back there and work more

233 Mott street seriously come hang out with me as i am losing it and there till 6pm
and tomorrow 10 – 6pm and then 7 – 11pm big bands and closing party

i don’t mean to insinuate that buying a piece from me to help education reform will save your soul but….

you can email me if you want the pricelist of what is still available 🙂

this is last night
wish you could have seen the fashions wish i were more of a fashion blogger
i overheard many many people calling each other homie and bro and son and dawg
i heard someone say “old school” in the school it was really cute

i come home just as this thing wakes up

i cook it lasagne and garlic bread and then fall dead asleep

and then wake up in the morning like an adult who knew???
who knew it could be so lovely

ok lets get down to business and check out this thing

this is the street art room
i dont go in here
but i try not to judge those who do

am i being a baby?

or is it the anxiety of influence

detail of Brad Kahlhamer’s amazing piece

detail on an “old school”? matt greene

super

early mornin looky loos

i like michael cline’s little St Christopher medal
he is the patron saint of sluts right?

our “signature” piece by Brendan Lynch

jaime

IO

DBS
holding down the photo team together

alison

forgettheirnames

him houser

whee!

whee!

eeee!

squeeee!

neeeee!
hows that for art commentatin

chris johanson

really hits the nail on the head huh

dont know who made this but are those supposed to be cigarettes?

i know who made this
and i really like it

“The Birth of Misprision”

🙂 🙂 🙂

eh
maybe this is why all the people felt entitled to call each other homie last night

there is a little “neo-surrealism” which is a big kathy no-no, but even those didnt bother me so much
this one if you look close has really well painted stubble

there is a shop full of things like this

yay! love!

yosi actually said this was “nature’s art”
sigh

kathy + upton, sitting in a tree

they sell rebound old books as notebooks in the shop, too, with lots of nice blank white pages and a few of the old book thrown in

i bought HOP ON POP because it was a favourite of me and my brother as we both used to love to hop on our pop
we would hop on him in the pool and call him SHAMU and strangle him and he would dive really deep until our kid sized lungs ran out of air and had to let go

i also bought it because i like this bit about patrick
very interesting and illuminating

🙂

yay! fuck mr brown
fucking up communities and friendships

i know it’s hard when you are down

brown always fucking comes back

enough drug innuendo
i bought this one too because i forgot i had loved these books as a kid and seeing this cover gave me weird inside feelings

shit i saved this photo for last but now i dont remember why
there was some joke, about ducks, and the title of this post and….

there is another button on my dash that says PUBLISH IMMEDIATELY and i think i wanna test it out

this photo uploaded out of order and thus gets the dubious distinction of being first
what is this thing?

im still in Hackney eating Vietnamese one sec

last day in London

i think wynd said this was his grandfather!

cody is almost ready

thanks in a large part to the skills of Megan

Raphaelite!

ooOooo

wynd has some weird sstuff in his shop in case you haven’t noticed

oh boy
i brought a few of these back to sell in The Hole’s shop

fall is a wonderful time to be in london

nice day for a wallow!

i didn’t get a petting zoo for my birthday so i took myself to one
as one has to do in life

look at this fat pig
i petted it

look at this ugly chicken
i chased it

what is cuter than a tall, thin duck that runs really fast?

a guinea pig!!!!
my animal of choice

if i pursue my animal of choice much more i will have to give up my animal of choice

i wanted these photos to be captioned with “favourite bits of english literature” but i am in too much of a hurry

these guys are in no hurry t’all

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single goose in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a gander.

don’t worry i will stop
look! fish pie!
hot pink fish pie
just kidding

i took a photo of this thinking of saying something snarky but really, doesnt everyone love a fun pop up art show? better than… a pop up dry cleaning shop or pop up mcdonalds, right???

surfaces

of distinction

and poor planning
this is outside the Royal Academy’s treasures of budapest show

this is Hernan Bas’s show at Victoria Miro

i like this one
it looks like a Caulkin

did you know that most people find my blog by accident after googling “pedo boy” ??

this was a nice one too

yayoi kusama

by the lilly pond in back

the upstairs gallery is pretty swanky

fit! no i mean smart!

this is a lecture wynd hosted by the foremost expert on Samuel Beckett who is 83 years old

cody’s half-done show made a really funny setting for that as you might imagine

cheap amazing turkish food

im so hungry arthghhghgh
and hours to go before i eat

i was just in a funny photo shoot for paper magazine and have all this makeup all over my face and this must bee what models feel like always. starving and sticky with makeup

they should all eat some Bubbles and Squeak
that is what this is called
the underneath part at least

doenst this look like the allergy commercial where its like “allery muffins” “after taking claritin muffins” or whatever

goodbye Wynd’s house!
you are nice

ill get even with my apartment someday for being so crappy

arghhh if that bus hadnt pulled into the shot you would have seen the most awesome drawing of a mole playing the saxophone

now we are at Space 176
anita zabludowitz’ awesome space in an old church

look how cool

this is called “the anxiety of objects”

a mechanical bull on an “artist built” oil derrick thingie gives me modest anxiety

i do love 3d rendering looking thingies…

reminds me of playing Star Fox

look! two coots

hempstead heath
now this is pride and prejudice country

laugh as much as you choose, teens, but you will not laugh me out of my opinion

last look at Cody’s show before i have to leave
it opens tonight!!!

long taxi to Paddington with a cab driver who wanted to talk about the death of Englishness as caused by immigration
oh boy

this always reminds me of patrick and i always find it hilarious

hello new york!!! its a beautiful morning
and time to go to work allll weekend

at REFORM SCHOOL

it opened last night!!! to huge crowds and much success
this is the only photo i took

look at these really muscular frog’s legs Upton ordered

terence and garrick are ready for their shave-and-a-haircuts

this is crab polenta something and was really good
mike meyers was at bacaro with a bunch of saturday night live looking people
i did not take a picture of their food however

terence and garrick are never more cute than when Terence is annoying Garrick by putting things on him or playing with his hair

terence is a big bully in his oversized tux

this morning
dropped my camera in a toilet

now all the photos look like this

ha ha! you are looking at photos that have been in a toilet!!!

hi! ive been in london sorry it is rainy morning here

have you heard of me in the mornings?
there is a reason you havent

i am a beast, i am a dark growling void
i deliberately dont let myself think or do in the morning, i dont let myself even consider thinking because it will come out dark bile, venomous vacant evil

i dont turn on until 3pm ish at which point i am the most pleasant lady at the luncheon

plus i have spent all morning listening to SALEMs new album (but it right now seriously) so i can finish this piece on them for i-D and it is making my dark moods expand and harmonize. amplify. open up into caverns of more and more echoing darkness

i am not used to writing about music or using music words

upton will tell you i am allergic to music
(i am also allergic to gross airport bar food and should stick to airport bar drinking)

its not that, its just if you were in my brain with me here, sitting next to me up in the cockpit, you would be overwhelmed by the activity, the loudness, the beeping lights that demand attention. if i turned on a boom box up here you would shriek in horror at the overwhelm and distraction, you would howl at the much too muchness and shut down

shit there is a small snippit of new york photos i missed on my photo way to Newark Airport above

upton made me the best mushmush risotto with porcini mushmush
mmmm porcine piggie mush\

look how many ways this looks awesome
\\

meghan and i had a great studio visit with Robert Lazzarini who we LOVE and will not spoil his in proggies with bloggies

graffiti from afar
poignant?

poignant eruptions?

i was on a panel talk at this INFLUENCER CONFERENCE

it was a funny experience that i will avoid, like everything, reflecting upon before 3pm

spent a lotta time installing REFORM SCHOOL which opens this weekend in new york and i want everyone to come see how cool
just this Michael Williams piece is worth seeing
“the internet”
is a scary place for clams too

upton

upton probably spent a lot of time bart simpsoning chalkboards as a youth

favourite photo of the day

ack

does the lip of the straw bordering over the photo line make you think you get to drink this basil mojito thingie with me?
you dont

its so nice to have Lovely Day open you have no idea

saw this thing again this thing haunts my blog for some reason

they got a little present on their doorstep today\

ok now we are back in action, unable to sleep on the airplane eating gross pudding watching Shrek 3

there was a tube strike when i arrived wtih 2 enormous kembra-caliber bags of tombstones

but i made it to wynd’s gallery finally! here i am holding a cursed doll

its supposed to look different expressioned each time you photo of it and curse your camera (and thus your internet by looking at this) but i dont know

maybe i just belive in dark shit in the mornings\
\

seriously its not my fault i feel so dark and fucked this morning look at the photos i have to deal with today

for one thing there is a fuckload of them and its pouring rain

for another there is a lot of dead creepy shit

this guy’s name was daniel he was cool\ i remember him being cool as the jet lag cascaded over my consciousness and forced me to sleep while they all went out to fun gay bar

angel’s trumpet
listen to the KING NIGHT song on the Salem album\ to hear a remix of some angel trumpeting holy night sounds

this is where i got to sleep
under the full scale lion skeleton
look at my scared little teddy bear worm
that is me
stranger in a strange land

but who can be so dark with sunny cody morning??\\

this dude made a drawing of mee too i never saw how it turned out i should look into that\

who can be sad with breakfast like that

hello what’s this i’ve found on the station floor all squirmy??

lets put it on some grass there thats better

this is Vita, Kate’s new daughter!

this is kate! if you look back to 2006 zone there are funny photos of us partying on dash’s floor and her wearing the BIN LADEN YOUTH shirt home and fuckoclock in the morning and me in a bathtub and a million mornings actually

just as dark but around the back path to that

lets think upon other things

the sun is coming out now of all the atrocious things and the photos are getting cuuuuuute\
