LOL!! EYEZ!!

literally laughing so hard in my room alone right now.

 there are tears.

this is certainly my screen capture career high.

you're welcome.

The internet is an enigma, wherein sometimes

i find pictures of myself on the internet that are not of me, but kinda are.

Here's one example:

(Via)

(I doctored this image to make my point in Microsoft paint, which I am happy to report, was born the same month and years as me, and has changed remarkably little in those 26 years. I like when technology moves MUCH slower than I, a real human being, do.)

Which is not actually me at all, in any way, except that I have been in that location and have at one (or two) time(s) had that same hair. Oh, internet- always up to so many fun hijinks.

In other news, I went to this show last night (spoiler alert: swears for realz), which was delicious in every weird, slightly insane way you could ever desire. I believe that a spell was cast over us, and everyone is now drugged to oblivion and is a part of a cult that worships aliens/are satanists.

Oh, and in other other news, I think I may have an actual topic for my thesis. This news is serendipitous and VERY exciting/calming/unnerving news for me.

AHHHHH... The Interwebs.

I was looking around for some things today... zooming around, looking for stuff of interest and just kinda web surfing, or as i call it, 'research'. I'm accessing the thing that the French philosopher, Lacan would call my 'Social Order.'
I would someday (soon) like to write an ode to web surfing. It is a joy and one of the small mathematical 'jollies' of my life.

My results for the day include, but are not limited to the following.

1.I encourage you to participate in this one... it's good.

Basically this (http://wdydwyd.ning.com/) website asks you why you do whatever it is that you do... I like it. I think it's good and thought provoking. So tell me! Why DO you do whatever it is that you do? I'd like to know. and give me something meaty. I want to make art about it.

2. I am recently really interested in the idea of women in art... mostly because I'm enrolled in a class by the same name by a wonderful feminist and mother/scholar the discussions we have in that class are multivalued, intense, draining, enlightening, empowering, and intense. It's a good one.
So I've been looking into topics for a term paper... the possibilities are endless. I don't however, want to write something easy-I'm ready for a challenge here! I don't want to do a biographical sketch of some hidden woman-artist...I need some social commentary and some real meat... Something about the infrastructural problem- I'm tired of feminists treating the symptoms of the problem, rather than treating the disease. I'm tired of the disease, and I want to see how women REALLY fit into the social fabric of culture, and see why it is that they are relegated to to the social status they now hold.
Here are a few options.

(A note on that last one, anyone interested in going to the PowWow with me?)

3. I'm in a History of Photography class. For the most part, I am extremely bored with the class thus far. I feel badly about it, but, well, I can't help it! Nevertheless, I am trying to find something that interests me in the topic... so far, I've only found this:I like this guy's ideas about stuff... about the idea of seeing people for whoever they are in a moment of truth when they jump. I like that.
A lot.

It's a magical rainbow that connects you and me.
