I saw Batman today. It was OK, but couldn't live up to the hype. Ledger was awesome though.
Better than the new Hulk movie but I think I had more fun at Hellboy 2 and definitely not as good as Iron Man. |

The Power of the Word
"The struggle for definition is veritably the struggle for life itself. In the typical Western two men fight desperately for the possession of a gun that has been thrown to the ground: whoever reaches the weapon first shoots and lives; his adversary is shot and dies. In ordinary life, the struggle is not for guns but for words; whoever first defines the situation is the victor; his adversary, the victim. For example, in the family, husband and wife, mother and child do not get along; who defines whom as troublesome or mentally sick?...[the one] who first seizes the word imposes reality on the other; [the one] who defines thus dominates and lives; and [the one] who is defined is subjugated and may be killed." - Thomas Szasz |

REQ for info: White body paint and places to buy it in bulk Hey Portland, I've got a question about body paint (white) and where to buy it in bulk. Here's the deal: I'm curating a show called "The Human Canvas Project" on August 21st at the Fez Ballroom downtown. What this consists of (besides me making music), is a stage full of humans painted white, with video being projected on them (as well as some idm/breakbeat, dubstep and so forth after this performance/musical art section). The Canvas portion will last an hour, and we need to cover 15-20 people... so it's going to get spendy. They will be moving some, but not necessarily grand movements, and who knows, cracking might even provide a cool texture. So what I seek your help in is finding the best solution, preferably locally but hey, sometimes the internet deals are too good to pass up. The ideal thing would be gallons of white body paint, but I'm also willing to look at the white clay route (as again, cracks could be cool... but I don't really want big chunks flaking off). I've got some leads and have chatted with some folks who have done similar things, but still haven't found a good bulk source, and am hoping you or someone you know might be able to assist me in gaining such knowledge. Even if you don't have any idea how to help... if you think the project sounds neat, you're curious or whatevs... feel free to head over to http://www.happyhumans.org to see more about what this shebang is all about. And thank you. |

humans as canvas, moving to music, film overlaying I remembered I hadn't posted on here... but I will be playing a rather neato show (well, I'm doing more than just playing, I'm essentially making the fucker happening, booking the bands, getting the humans, etc) on August 21st at the Fez Ballroom. It's called the Human Canvas Project, and my portion of it will consist of me playing music in a Wizard of Oz style (meaning man behind the curtain, albeit with the curtain being semi see through and lights providing shadow movement) while many nude/semi nude humans painted white have video projected onto them. So yeah, not your usual show thing... but something kind of special. Sounds like we'll have good press, good show and so forth, but I'd like to see some of you, those who I consider good folks there. We're pricing it at an affordable 7$. It's not for awhile, but y'know... advance warning and all... Check out the flier and more info (we'll also have some ambient, idm/breakbeat and dubstep music going on for the dancers in the house!) located at: http://www.happyhumans.org (right on the front page for easy perusal!) |

i've been looking for work. i'm so broke. i'd be starving if it weren't for food stamps. i'm not really sure how i'm going to pay my bills. i'm a little worried, yeah. but you can only do the best you can. there's not much more that i can do other than apply for work, because welfare or "temporary assistance for needy families" is a fucking joke. i tried to get some of that temporary assistance last summer and they told me that i would have to go to their "job training" thirty hours a week and find daycare for my daughter (and pay for it... they would pay some small part) and THEN they would give me 400 bucks a month which basically doesn't pay for anything except maybe the daycare. hahhaaa, thanks... yeah that sure would be a lot of help *scrunches face disapprovingly* i'd like to sell some prints of my artwork at all of the many places and times that there is available to do that in portland but i can't even afford the initial investment. shit i'd like to sell the originals, most of them need either frames or some simple prepping that would take just a few minutes to be ready to mount. anyone want to buy a painting? how about a portrait? i could draw or paint portraits from pictures or from live peoples? maybe i should do that. just go to those places where i could sell my prints if i could afford to make them and then offer to do portraits? today i am going to clean my apartment. *sigh* Current Mood:  determined |

 According to the quiz at the end of this book I am 40.666% white. Check out the web site here. The book is a lot like the website only you can: 1. Put it on your coffee table 2. Read it on public transportation which is not the bus Both of these are things that white people like. What are you reading lately? Current Mood:  silly |

Euphoria of creation (original work)
I fight for it
It is as natural as breathing
But as hard as lead
I want to dominate it
Control it
Capture it and mold it
I reach deep within myself to put it out
But I never get enough of it
Deep down
To the depths of it
I crave for it
For the feel of it
For the taste of it
Swallowing tiny bits of it
Becoming more possessed with it
More in tuned with it
I welcome it
To be filled and inflamed by it
To be caressed and engorged by it
To breathe it
Exhale it
And
Be it |

Every day Lee becomes more adorable to me.
I feel like when he first got here I had ice over part of my heart, because it hurt so much when he left.
But the ice is melting, melting, melting...
And the love is so strong. The togetherness.
His presence is also unleashing a lot of other emotions I didn't realize I felt.
Including anger, which is a hard emotion for me to feel, and which I often repress for a long time, which isn't healthy for anyone.
I never know what to do with it though.
One of the worst feelings in the world for me is to be angry with someone and not be taken seriously. For some reason I find it easier to bottle it up so that I don't have to risk realizing that someone else doesn't give a damn if they upset me.
I'm not going into the details of what's going on right now, other than to say it has nothing to do with either of my romantic relationships.
It is affecting me strongly, though. It's weird, but I'm afraid of being angry. I hate feeling it, I hate expressing it, and most of all I hate that it generally doesn't do any good whatsoever and just ends up making me feel more hurt than I did before. And yet repressing it doesn't really seem to work either.
Anger. Meh.
It's the season of feelings around here. Lee's presence in my life makes a huge impact. Makes me feel safer to feel. |

Protection Spell Protection spells are considered to be white magic because they are intended to keep someone healthy and happy in spite of the challenges of negativity surrounding. HARM NONE. ( a few interesting bits ) |

Dancing alone: not bad at all. I got to meet new people, although it's difficult because of the sound level. I met a guy named Louis. At first I was wary (I wasn't there to be picked up or hit on) and did the "my boyfriend and I blah blah blah" fairly early on. Turns out, I didn't need to worry--like me, he was there alone and just wanted to dance. I ended up stashing my stuff on the stage thing because it was easier to keep an eye on it that way. This meant I did most of my dancing up there too. Sometimes it was crowded, sometimes it wasn't. I got so hot I took off my shirt and just danced in my bra (I'd had a couple of drinks by then, admittedly), and a few ladies copied me. Some random guy on the dance floor shook my hand near the end of the night, bowed in my general direction, and told me I was a great dancer. I overheard someone else calling me "bra girl." Not the worst nickname I've ever had. *lol* On the way home my taillight came flying off my bike. I picked it back up but the battery was dented and it wouldn't turn on. Grrr. After that, all the way home I sang a nonsense song about being a bike ninja--not completely true, I had my headlight. One of the companies of pedicabs, there's an iPod mount and speakers on them. As I was locking up my bike when I got there, a pedicab pulled up playing Beck. Me and the driver talked for a few minutes and we agree that it's asinine that most of them have derailers, and that internal hub gears would make much more sense. Saw Get Smart yesterday with Jarrod and really enjoyed it--it's a funny movie. We came home and rented 101 Reykjavik, I've seen it but Jarrod hadn't, I think he liked it, although not as much as me. Something that I thought of several months ago: If I go anyplace in short sleeves when I visit Iceland (bars get hot, y'know?), they will be able to see my tattoo, and they are very recognizably Bjork lyrics, and then I will look like the biggest dork on the planet. Which I suppose I am. Some people are obsessed with Japan, I guess I'm obsessed with Iceland. Oh well. Current Mood:  awake |

Sunday HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the mother of ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) drjeffI am feeling the stress. I have been anticipating it, trying to prepare myself for those HOLY SHIT moments. Yesterday I was out with my friend Angie and when I said- yeah, "I bought a one way ticket," it kinda hit me. I ain't going to be round these parts for a long time. So then last night I made this lame ass decision and called someone I shouldn't . That person hung up on me. I can be such a loser. Today- loud music, packing and trying to not feel like such an idiot! The Mexico/snorkling trip is cancelled which is a mix of disappointment and relief. It means I am here for the big birthday (it's on 8/8/08) and I am dreading that. someone tell me something nice... (please) |
