“Nielsen Media Research numbers show that America is watching more TV
now than ever — the total average TV-watching time for U.S. households
for 2005-2006 rose to a record high eight hours and 14 minutes per day.”

eric bachmann’s voice always empathizes with me.
so, i’m feeling a bit dizzy about my life, and not in the “yay! i’m a little girl spinning around!” sort of way. rather, i feel like i just got hit by a car. ok, maybe not a car. maybe like a golf cart? Continue reading ’showing up (part two)’

so my favorite graffiti artist, banksy, recently teamed up with danger mouse to create a bit of, well, subversive art:

[from nme]
Banksy replaced 400 doctored copies of the album in branches of HMV, replacing Hilton’s album with 40 minute of remix credited to ‘DM’, now Danger Mouse’s management has confirmed it was him.
In a statement he said: “It’s hard to improve on perfection, but we had to try.”
Banksy altered the cover of the album, changing some of the song titles to ‘Why Am I Famous’ and ‘What Am I For?’.

um, how do people get to be so AWESOME?!!!!!
here’s a few pics of the improved (well, in my opinion) album:

so– as i’m sure you know– it’s all about youtube right now. a month ago, henri put the treadmill video by ok go on an alamo pre-show, and the audience was totally surprised and delighted. last night, the band performed their act live on the mtv video music awards.
uh, hello, that’s some cray cray fast fame.
the other night, henri, j. (who’s in town from san francisco) and i spent like two hours watching youtube videos on henri’s projector. we performed the following searches:
“broken bones”
“compound fracture”
“falling off roof”
“boy fall roof ouch hurt accident”
“trampoline accident” this video, which is really just awesome.
“broken bones trampoline”
“teenage girls dancing”
“drunk girls”
“disney sex”
all of that was, of course, v. amusing, but NONE of it compares with a video i just read about this morning on an art blog. HOLY CRAY this is the COOLEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN.
coincidentally, it’s also one of the creepiest.� and yet, most beautiful.
here’s a photo to give you a hint:
now watch it. and then marvel at the fact that along with the music videos, kitty movies and jackassic stunts, youtube also brings you a most startling yet delicate gem of beauty. oh internet you are a joy to me.
p.s. my favorite part is when the big girl plays with the little ones.
p.p.s. thanks for all yr helpful comments re: switching blogs. i’m still mulling it over.
