' When I was an adolescent, my father scolded me for wanting to drive to Florida with a friend. It was too far from home, he said and I would be corrupted by the distance. I was sixteen. I'd been brought up in a small farm community and had barely been more than a hundred miles from home. neither had he. At least not more than once or twice. he hated travel and was rooted in the ground he stood on. the world for him was his front porch and it made him who he was.
-opening paragraph to 'the world from my porch' Larry Towell
This slightly reminds me of the Herni Rousseau, don't you just love the idea that people can believe that you can be corrupted by distance.
'His best known paintings depict jungle scenes, even though he never left France or saw a jungle. Stories spread by admirers that his army service included the French expeditionary force to Mexico are unfounded. His inspiration came from illustrated books and the botanical gardens in Paris, as well as tableaux of taxidermied wild animals. He had also met soldiers, during his term of service, who had survived the French expedition to Mexico and listened to their stories of the subtropical country they had encountered. To the critic Arsène Alexandre, he described his frequent visits to the Jardin des Plantes: "When I go into the glass houses and I see the strange plants of exotic lands, it seems to me that I enter into a dream."

Michael and Lenka speak about their personal work and then move onto their brilliant ‘Mysterious letters’ project in which they sent a handwritten letter to everyone in a small village. Brilliant concept beautifully delivered, I cannot recommend highly enough freeing up half an hour today or over the weekend to enjoy this.

funny
while sitting at your desk, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles. Now, while doing this draw the number "6" in the air with your right hand. Your foot will change direction and there's nothing you can do about it. http://conflusions.wordpress.com/

Rediscovering Richard Brautigan
I was just rediscovering Richard Brautigan's poems which I think are just marvelous, so here's a couple to share:
"Finding Is Losing Something Else"
Finding is losing something else.
I think about, perhaps even mourn,
what I lost to find this.
"Impasse"
I talked a good hello
but she talked an even
better good-bye
"The Amelia Earhart Pancake"
I have been unable to find a poem
for this title. I've spent years
looking for one and now I'm giving
up.

The story of a litlle boy called Zenobia

"We hope this idea catches on and, in the future, square CD packaging will be abandoned forever and only interesting art objects will fill record stores. We envision a time when you’ll be walking around your local record shop and be like, “What’s the new Radiohead album again? Oh yeah, a bonsai tree in the shape of a deformed goat, I see it over there.”"

Droplets of wisdom from Ogden
The Cow
The cow is of the bovine ilk;
One end is moo, the other, milk.
The Fly
God in his wisdom made the fly
And then forgot to tell us why.
The Firefly
The firelfly's flame
Is something for which science has no name
I can think of nothing eerier
Than flying around with an unidentified glow on a
Person's posterior

American Surfaces
If you guys get a chance you should check out
Stephen Shore's "American Surfaces"
It is a book showcasing a collection of photographs Shore took in the Seventies.
The pictures are really great and wonderfully disarming so really really go and have a look. (I can't be bothered to scan and show some samples so just get yourself to your local library!)
Also the pictures really remind me of some of your photos Sina :)
and Nadine,
the library code is Third Floor, 761.2 SHOR although I might have it for a while :P
and also you should check out
Third Floor, 761.3 EWIN, a book called "The Body", it has tons of really cool photographs of all kinds of different bodies/people, including some Siamese twins
And hoka is currently living in tomorrow, although I guess I'll be joining Sina in yesterday soon, so Nadine you'll be the only one living in the present :P
Ah, time differences.
ciao.

S
Okay.
since I have learned to write, I have always written
S
by starting at the top, moving back, circling down and forward and then circling round and back again.
never in this entire time has it occurred to me that you can write
S
by starting at the BOTTOM!?,
sliding forward, curving up and back and curving upwards and forwards again.
it's totally weird.
ok, maybe i'm totally weird, but no, I think this S writing thing is cuhrayzee. that's crazy. blew my mind.
try it, you will feel topsy turvy.
