science is fiction

Science is Fiction is a compilation of film shorts by Jean Painlevé (1902-1989).  Yo La Tengo did the sound track The Sounds of Science for this film, which June told me she got to see them play it live the other night.  These shorts are observations he made (with some manipulation, of course) of mainly various sea creatures.  One of my favorites, however, is the liquid crystals formation.  It's so awesome!

Irma Gonzalez

Just saw a short on Irma Gonzalez, professional woman wrestler/singer/songwriter.



The screaming gets a little intense, so I recommend muting that after a while and listening to this for maximizing your viewing pleasure. Her songs are no where to be found, which is a damn shame since they were pretty good.



P.S. If I ever become a woman wrestler, I'm shaving my head.

On Education

In the most effectively

Algebra is positioned

are more prodigious

little world

Last week my sister, Tasha, let me take photos of herself and her apartment.  Often times when I am over there, she has created what she likes to call, "a little world".  Tasha has many little worlds and is always making more.  When I took these photos I didn't have her little worlds in mind, but when I look at these pictures, I am reminded of Tasha's many little worlds.  I guess if these objects had a place in Tasha's worlds, they would be the ghosts of the little worlds that were once fresh and new, who are still quietly calling out for attention. 

haiku for a fallen friend

Oh ill-fated bird
Guts smeared across the pavement
Bet you feel exposed
