The latest gossip from Frankfurt:

Some artist that is Cosima von Bonin's favorite is on the cover of Texte zur Kunst or whatever however you spell it. He doesn't look that attractive (he's got red hair) but apparently his art is all about like being a former male model. Also supposedly the photo of CVB in "Woman Artists" is super fakey style because just because, it was asked around and stuff.

Seriously that five year diary thing is quite clever but the entries are so little I feel like my sentences can't fit. Stop waffling this is so much easier all around and less carpal tunnel.

I never really tried thrift store shopping in NYC

but it's actually quite fulfilling. You just have to quit thinking about large, sprawling, Savers/Thrift Town/Unique style stores. I did a Gramercy/Chelsea run and it was good: woolly huge shawl thing to go over my winter coat, fox fur, ski hood, sequined old lady style "fancy dress", pinstripe cotton oversize tote that I think is the exact same one Liz uses on her weekend trips, a paperback copy of Aunt Julia & the Scriptwriter.  To round out my shopping spree: Ritter sport, $1 basil (for Thai eggplant), and a large grapefruit. Oh yeah and a Thanksgiving appropriate dress kind of on the more than affordable side. Oh and they had Martin Margiela at Housing Works.

SHIBA INU PUPPY CAM!!!!!!!

I CAN'T TAKE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

I CAN'T NOT SQUEAL!!!!!!!

Halloweennyy

God I'm such a quitter.

Not only am I such a quitter, but each pathetically spread-out post that I write is just me revelling in the guilt of how I don't post enough. So I am going to stop doing that.

So anyways, it's November and Halloween was spent in spooky PA with strange blue lights in the night sky, haunted hay ride with "special" people, an eleventh hour veggie oil party bus, fires, witch snowman (freak snowstorm! in late October!) etc. Whut else...........oh yeah, we were in GERMANY for like ever.  I am trying to make "drawings" in my studio, thank god I didn't find a subletter, and I am trying to find some more stable work, and oh yeah there's gonna be a black man in the white house.  Hooray for radical shifts. Even though everything feels so uncertain, like carpets keep being pulled from under us, like over and over again, at least it is dramatic. Yeah.

So I feel like I can't go home for Christmas because plane tickets are too expensive. I am thinking about how to make a cloak, or how to get my clock from LA, and how to get a real job, and how I just got accepted to this residency in a small town in East Germany in a flower shop or something, and it's next winter...  I don't know if I can do it!

OK: retroactive euro 08 diary

mon 9/29: we biked to the artstore to buy some more paints, and ate really good falafel. no more gummies please!

sun 9/28: painted, went on first hamburg bike ride (to eat vegan sausage and fries, yuck), hung out with randoms at the theater including a partner-look irish/berliner lesbian couple, one of whom saw ufo lights in the sky, and danced to "DEITER", madonna's male dopellganger. also there were old timey looking robots playing jazz music that looked like a cubist painting come to animation.

sat 9/27: fleamarket: / "openhouse" / chicks on speed at the kampnagel entertainment multiplex which we missed their performance but apparently it was blah, but there was a pseudo-zee white "rapper" from brooklyn ? who was amazingly spectacular, meaning awful! we also walked through the reeperbahn which was like eurotrash times a gazillion, i kept thinking people were going to projectile vomit onto me.

HAMBURGLARS AND CORN

OH MY GOSH I'VE BEEN IN GERMANY FOR OVER A WEEK NOW!

dancing update for nyc

Harvey at Love 2x: 1st was on acid and took me awhile to get used to, but I danced a lot, even though I wasn't that into the music. 2nd time I thought it would be better because sober and no "end up club" weird acid vibes, but was actually kind of boring. 

Santos 2x: 1st time OK, 2nd time really fun. I like that there are two floors. I will go back but probs not on weekends due to douchy crowds.

IMAGINARY SHOPPING SPREE

sabbatical

Lots of things have been happening, mostly I had my art show opening last Friday. It was so fun, THANK YOU LIFE ("affirmation"). Then we went to the lake house for a few days with LLIIZZ, and we are preparing for our German month. Yeah this summer was indeed endless and jam packed with good times.

Here is the postcard for my show at Klaus (images stolen from all over the internet and myself):
