“The time of getting fame for your name on its own is over. Artwork that is only about wanting to be famous will never make you famous. Any fame is a by-product of making something that means something. You don’t go to a restaurant and order a meal because you want to have a shit.”
You’ll have to pardon my lack of entries lately. I’ve been off fantasizing about Liz White from BBC’s Life On Mars. *swoon*
I’m sure I should probably post these on Preshrunk, but it’s not back up just yet. *shrug* It will be soon enough…
1. Gravedigger’s Picnic
2. Wu Members
3. Johnny Cash Is A Gangsta
4. Goatse
5. Creative Commies
1. Henry’s Turkey on Wheat Roll
As far as I’m concerned the sandwiches from Wild Oats sister market Henry’s could kick the ass of Quiznos and Subway any day of the week.
2. Naked Juice Blue Machine
This is the year I fell in love with Naked Juice. And while I love more flavors than I care to count, Blue Machine is by far the best one of the bunch.
3. Honest Tea Vanilla Mint White Tea
Were it not for Matt I’d have never known about this brand of tea that sells their beverages “just a tad sweet”. Danke, Mr. Haughey.
4. Have’A Corn Chips
A lot of people are curious when I tell them that Have’A Corn Chips aren’t actually salted but seasoned with soy sauce and lime juice. Then I let them try one. Shortly thereafter I have to fight them off so they don’t steal my bag.
5. Swingers Jerk Chicken Omelet
Trust me, it’s as good as it sounds. I just wish they’d open a Swingers in OC so I didn’t have to drive out to Hollywood to get my fix.
What food and drink kept you running during 2005?
P.S. Yes, I’m aware Sandy Duncan’s Eye was a band in the early 90’s that had something to do with Steve Albini. It’s just, well, I really like the name.
P.P.S. I stole some of these from Iamrob, squant, infernauta, mantid and regnad_kcin. Thanks guys!
Charlotte: That was the worst lunch.
Bob: The worst. What kind of restaurant makes you cook your own food?
Actually, it was pretty damn good… But every time I have Shabu Shabu this quote resonates thru my head.
Q: Imagine you are in a metal box. How do you get out?
A: Stop imagining it. [via]
Projects are in the works. Therefore, my silence.
Once you see what I’ve got up my sleeve, you’ll hopefully think that all of the quiet is worth it. *shrug* We’ll know soon enough…
“Adrenaline is my drug of choice. The kick-drum is my dealer.”
Some of y’all might find this vacant billboard it to be a bit of an eyesore, but I rather enjoy how it’s been appropriated by the street art set.
FYI: The 99 Cents Only Store is a wonderful place to pick up recently expired 35MM film. In fact, I just picked up 5 rolls of Fuji Superia [24 exposure, ISO 100] that had a “process before” date of September 2005 for 99 cents each.
So while I do know that expired stock can give some funky results, I’m sort of curious as to how old the film should be before I start using it. You know, for maximum effect…
Suggestions anyone?
