Love Mom and Grandma

2009-12-26T15:35:00.000-08:00

Various words of advice from my two female figures:

Mom: Sarah, you're not fat. It's just that you were pretty when you were skinny.

Grandma: Do you ever donate blood? If you donate blood you skin will clear up and you're young blood cells replenish quickly.
Mom: Why would you tell an anemic girl to give blood?
Grandma: What anemia? I'm telling you it will clear her skin.

TATTOO DRIVE!

2009-03-01T17:12:00.001-08:00

Dear Friends and Fans of Red Rocket Tattoo,

A very loved artist in our tattoo family has suffered a tremendous loss. His eldest daughter was tragically killed on the night of February 26th. As he and the rest of his family suffer this loss, we suffer right along side and are doing everything we can to lend support.

Red Rocket Tattoo is putting on a TATTOO DRIVE to raise funds to help with funeral arrangements, legal fees and anything else necessary to aid in the resolution of these unhappy times. We are ASKING FOR YOUR HELP! Wednesday March 4th in the Manhattan Red Rocket Tattoo Studio we will be donating all earned income towards helping our family. Red Rocket will make no profit from this day's efforts.

Along with a few scheduled appointments, we are running a crazy tattoo special and are looking for as many willing participants as possible. We will do everything to accommodate all clients and will work into the night. We will tattoo any name, any kanji, flowers, skulls etc. or any Sailor Jerry style design smaller than your palm for $100. In addition we will do any regular piercing for $20 or exotic for $40 all day long.
The first ten clients get a FREE RED ROCKET T SHIRT!

PLEASE HELP US HELP OUR FAMILY! COME IN AND GET THAT TATTOO YOU HAVE ALWAYS WANTED.
TELL ALL OF YOUR FRIENDS! TELL ALL OF YOUR ENEMIES! JUST COME IN AND SHOW SOME LOVE FOR ONE WHO LOVES YOU!

We cannot thank you enough!

Plans for 200divine aka 200MINE!

2009-01-04T17:36:00.001-08:00

1. DO ME. Straight up.
Meaning that this year I am going to focus on me. I might be helping a friend here or there but I'm going to be selfish with my time, my personal labor etc.

2. Save paper.
Trying to save at least 10G's by the end of the year in case I don't have a job next year. See, I'm planning ahead.

3. Make Chris Hires my best friend.
Chris Hires came up to me on NYE and said something along the lines of "Hey, I'm gonna sound like a douche but I'm drunk and bored so I want to talk to you. I saw you naked on the internet and fuck all those haters. I'm a feminist(?)....etc.etc" SO, I've decided to make him my BFF for 2009. Chris Hires FTW. (This is so creepy.)

4. Continue to be creepy.
Create more fake friendships and relationships in my head and write about them. These are the best times of our lives. Let's remember them even if they aren't real.

5. Be an asian stereotype.
Go super crazy kawaii mania with hello kitty, sanrio accessories. Only hang out with other asians I am related too; Change my name to Grace Kim...

6. Replace Kati Lampa's camera.

7. Get a camera of my own.

8. Simplify my life and either get rid of a lot of my possessions or stop buying so many unneccesary things. This kind of goes against the overload of kitsch that I plan on partaking in but I'll work something out.

The Musician's Day

2008-11-30T21:10:00.000-08:00

An artist must organize his life.
Here is the exact timetable of my daily activities:
Get up: 7.18 am; be inspired: 10.23 to 11.47 am. I take lunch at 12.11 pm and leave
the table at 12.14 pm.
Healthy horse-riding, out in my grounds: 1.19 to 2.53 pm. More inspiration: 3.12
to 4.07 pm.
Various activities (fencing, reflection, immobility, visits, contemplation, swimming,
etc....): 4.21 to 6.47pm
Dinner is served at 7.16 and ends at 7.20 pm. Then come symphonic readings, out
loud: 8.09 to 9.59 pm.
I go to bed regularly at 10.37 pm. Once a week (on Tuesdays) I wake up with a start
at 3.19 am.
I eat only white foodstuffs: eggs, sugar, scraped bones; fat from dead animals; veal,
salt, coconuts, chicken cooked in white water; mouldy fruit, rice, turnips; camphorated
sausage, things like spaghetti, cheese (white), cotton salad and certain fish (minus
their skins).
I boil my wine and drink it cold mixed with fuchsia juice. I have a good appetite,
but never talk while eating, for fear of strangling myself.
I breathe carefully (a little at a time). I very rarely dance. When I walk, I hold my
sides and look rigidly behind me.
Serious in appearance, if I laugh it is not on purpose. I always apologize
about it nicely.
My sleep is deep, but I keep one eye open. My bed is round, with a hole cut out to
let my head through. Once every hour a servant takes my temperature and gives me
another.
I have long subscribed to a fashion magazine. I wear a white bonnet, white stockings
and a white waistcoat.
My doctor has always told me to smoke. Part of his advice runs:
--Smoke away, my dear chap: if you don't, someone else will.

Spent the Sunday-Tuesday with Nico. Sunday Funday! Monday Funday! Tuesday Boozeday!

We drank and did my laundry and then went to drink some more than came home and had some more drink than woke up bought a hat then drank and watched gossip girl.

The Week in Review:

- I walked by Busta Rhymes and hit his arm with my boob. My mom knows his mom.

- I got dropped from my Music in Films class so my graduation is further delayed...

- Lit has installed camera's

- My brain is too fried to make this amusing, so fuck it, let's gets some waffles and broccoli.

[edit]

Forgot to mention that this past Saturday, Chris Conlin and I went to the Met Opera to see Philip Glass's Opera Satyagraha. We bought standing room tickets for $20.00 but a kind woman who had to leave after the first Act gave us her $215 orchestra tickets. SO we had a bit of good luck and an amazing time.

webcomics, money and moving

2008-03-25T15:44:00.000-07:00

I used to read webcomics religiously but I haven't been able to devote the time they are deserved in some time. I check up on them occasionly now. Partially because this past year my availability of the internet has been a series of ups and downs but moreover due to the fact that I'm horrible at doing anything consistently, including checking a webpage for updated comics. Regardless, I thought I would share some of my favs...

Chris Yates's Reprographics
If you read carefully you'll notice that I'm in this comic; Chris also makes amazing jigsaw puzzles and one-offs that you can purchase from here

Oscar Wilde Jigsaw Puzzle:

P I X E L http://www.pixelcomic.net/

Diesel Sweeties [a pixelated robot romance comic] http://www.dieselsweeties.com/

Dinosaur comics http://www.qwantz.com/

and Asofterworld which I do still read on the regular http://www.asofterworld.com/

Updating from my last blog I texted Justin Gonazalez last night:
Me: Should I stop by this friday to get a check?
Justin: You can stop by anytime..Sorry, I have been really busy
Me: Thanks. Btw off the record I don't do heroin. Never have. Never will,
Justin: Lol. Wtf
Me: I heard a rumor that was going around the rivington. I dunno but it's not true either way. Whatevs.
Justin: Lol. That is news to me
Me: It was to me too. Went and got a check today but I think the money's wrong and I don't believe him. Additionally, I realize that it's a text message but adding a simple punctuation mark is not that difficult.

As far as moving goes...I'm leaving BK for Astoria for a couple months then to Elmhurst with the rents. So I'll be sleeping on couches or borrowing cabfare.

If there are any attractive single males living in the East Village, LES, Gramercy, Murray Hill and surrounding neighborhoods that need a live in girlfriend let me know...

music vs. / + shoes

2008-03-14T14:06:00.000-07:00

Two things people want and spend shitloads of money on. Shoes, shoes, shoes and music, music music.

Why not combine the two? Plus they're ups.

If AF1's arent you're style or if you're European/white person really into running; there's a shoe for you too:

If you don't have the money for some music shoes, you can always pretend:

Here's Common's music video for "Be" aka a Jordan commercial:

Today, I read an interview with Philly based artist Ben Woodward on fecalface and a few things he said made me 1. Think of Frog and 2. Result in me enjoying his work more

Things he said that reminded me of Frog:
When asked,

What do love most about living in Philly?

Phila is the best, not only is it cheap enough to own a house, but the people that I live and work around are always inspirational.

What are you really excited about right now?

The Wire.

Things that made me enjoy his work more:
When asked,

If you had to explain your work to a stranger, how would you do it?

It's surrealism for people that were taught to read by muppets.

What emotion translates best for you?

Sleepy and reluctant acceptance. Like the sigh you let out be for you have to clean dog poop off the carpet.

Plus, the fact that Free News Projects is publishing an illustrated children's book by Woodward entitled "Sullivan's Solo" about a bunch of birds that save their friend with poop. Any children's book having to do with poop is always worthwhile.

ex.

So anyway here are some pieces that I really liked:

You can see more by him at www.space1026.com

If you're in LA go to the Carmichael Gallery for Contemporary Art, where Woodward is having his first solo westcoast show entitled Beep boop Beep boop. It runs from March 8th to March 30th.

p.s. He's got an asian wife.
