25I’m alone in the DJ booth with a full pot of coffee in my belly jamming to the Footloose soundtrack and compulsively nom’ing clementines. Now who’s having the better Christmas?

Devin squishing my face with my horse golashes during the Spinnaker Christmas party. I’m pretty sure I was one of the very few people not making out with someone during this photobooth series.

24Today’s idea: Handwriting is dying because it’s a slow and inefficient way of getting our thoughts out — a hindrance to thinking, given the alternatives, an essay says.
Why Handwriting Is History - an article in the NY Times

The silver gelatin prints mounted on wood have been inspired by the work of Alfred Stieglitz’s portraits of Georgia O’Keeffe’s hands and the Starn Twins’ handling and presentation of photo enlargements. The importance placed on hands throughout history has always fascinated me. In my work I want the identity of my subjects to remain relatively unknown in order to be able to focus on the physical process of deconstructing the image instead of providing the viewer with a clear sense of who the subject is and what he/she/it represents. Each image was taken on film that had been digitally scanned in order to preserve the organic quality the film grain provides. In each piece I have enlarged the hands to be many times greater than the normal sizes of hands. I wanted the hands in each piece to have a surreal quality both in the abstraction of the image and the size.
Ashley mesmerizes!

22My mom just called me to tell me that her and my dad went to the senior citizen center. They played bingo and won laundry detergent, a box of vanilla wafers, a shirt, and a can of salmons. She was so excited.
I don’t want to get old.
That sounds pretty cool to me!

22Washed Out - New Theory
not sure i’m 100% down with the whole ‘glo-fi’ thing sweeping all the music blogs, but this EP is really growing on me. pretty sweet video, too.
EDIT: okay I guess I’m more attached than I thought. Just realized I posted another video for the same song four days ago.
you know, i’m for it. we swept through something i could only refer to as a psychedelic renaissance over the last 2 years or so (recent black moth, person pitch, even some grizzly bear), and something had to naturally follow. not only do i sort of secretly love the term glo-fi, but i think this lighter touch is the answer to a lot of overdone, overmathed, overthought stuff that’s come out since (i mean, i love health, crystal castles had their moment, but until get color i felt like i was being beaten black and blue with a drum machine run amok. it got fake, but not quite ironically so). or you could look at it as an answer to an equally weighty concern, the one that wonders aloud how mgmt got away with making such a sugary yet glaringly unintelligent record like oracular spectacular: the answer is timing. this is what i want right now—well, it’s among the things—and i’m pretty sure i’m among the majority. it’s eeeasssyyy. but it’s also kind of intelligent in its own right.
in a system that’s been feeding us complex carbs and whole grain, all we want is potato chips. or, fuck, an IV of saccharine right to the brain. it’ll burn fast, but i’m enjoying it.
“Glo-fi?” Holy shit. How did I not know about this term?
