whirlwind

this weekend is going to be a zoo of events & socializing. which i adore. but at some point i'm truly hoping to get some mellow painting & writing done. it's been far too long since i've edited the poetry fragments taking over the art room. it's been far too long since i've put any paintings on etsy or ebay. it's been far too long since i've written a new song.

but then... perhaps i'll just loaf with friends & wine. that's good too. :)

My ideas, stolen again.

(Okay, not really.)

About a year ago when I was noticing the billions of condos being built on the lakeshore, I thought it sad that only half of the residences have a lake view. I thought, hey - why don't they make a building that rotates a quarter turn every week, so that everyone can share the view?

An Italian architect is working on a very souped-up version of this, and it will be built in Dubai, naturally.

you love music, but do you support live music?

click here for interesting article

the music industry is changing and warping, but live music is still going fairly well... except that gas prices are killing the bands.

when is the last time you went to a show?

three cheers for science!

cure for cancer! (sort of, untested, but it worked once...)

http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2008/jun/19/cancer.science

ramping up a patient's own immune system to fight cancer cells.
simple. brilliant. no massive side effects.

but mindwarpingly expensive & time consuming i'm sure.

still, a mighty step in the right direction!

now *this* is comedy...

i hate guns. unless you're a law enforcement professional or live on a farm where you need to protect your livestock from rabid wolves, i see no good reason that sane people should own guns.

hey, that's just my opinion.

if that's your opinion too, then watching a blooper video of people firing guns and hurting themselves will entertain you for one minute and thirteen seconds...
