sorry for the lack of blogging but i've been caught up in the land of the libros..

specifically, the MAJORLY awesome+incredibly inspired lives of three radical pre-feminist ladies who were full of unique mischief+singular ideas (janis joplin, gabrielle 'coco' chanel, and baroness elsa freytag-loringhoven- respectively)

so, if you are into fashion, art+the history of women in the past century--these are absolutely must reads!!! i give them all a+'s, in life and in text...i only hope to be half as inspiring to one person one day..seriously, these were some really astoundingly remarkable chicas.

little gomez hates georgie w. bush

we met this delightful and super smart furball last night outside of maracas. he's full of tricks..including waving hello and growling when you ask him how he feels about president dumdum.

president's day २००८: i don't like him

for the most part i love being american.
the people+the landscape+kerouac+lauryn hill+janis joplin+diane arbus+andy warhol+ bob dylan+robert rauschenburg+joseph cornell+lee friedlander+jamel shabazz+fred tomaselli+truman capote+bill owens+sally mann+william eggleston+jasper johns+marc jacobs+henry darger+the olsen twins+good ole stevie fitch+robert blake+salt'n'pepa+ possibilities.

however, our representative is a douchebag. thus i find myself travelling abroad and being vaguely nervous. admitting to being american can feel like admitting to an s.t.d. or having cheated on a boyfriend. kind of like a dirty secret that justs leaves you unsettled and insecure of the unknown but upcoming reaction..
my feeling about senor bushie is this- he seems like someone that would've been fun to get drunk with at a cocktail party-that is before he found god and a penchant for acting as a goofy-faced puppet..yes. i think he would've been good for jokes and guzzling, yet not so much capable of ruling such a big country. maybe he would've been fine, good even, as a mayor in texas. slangin' oil and romping around the ranch..but making decisions which effect so many people around the world????
i dunno how this really happened and it's been what? 7 years...
this only serves to remind me that the middle of america and the south scares me sometimes/most times. i guess it's that these areas are so insulated and removed from culture has these folks voting out of fear.

anyhow, i'm hoping this election will follow the trend of these approval ratings.
fingers crossed.
