Two things I saw this past weekend that I truly enjoyed.
1. Photos and video by Jane and Louise Wilson (303 Gallery)
2. A work included in the New Museum's new show 'Adaptive Behavior' (and new location). Artist Tonico Lemos Auad turns the lint pills on new wall-to-wall carpeting into small installations. It reminds me of a quote by Hugh Prather: "when I get to where I can enjoy just lying on the rug picking up lint balls, I will no longer be too ambitious."

A message from Tracey Emin (on how she feels about getting her own room at the Tate).
I bought about 50 beautiful tomatoes in ‘the country’ last weekend ($8 total, including the basket! The farm stand is unattended and one pays by leaving money in a milk pail. But as I was counting my crumpled dollar bills I could feel the farmer’s eyes on me from a distance. I decided to leave 10 – after all the basket was included - and sure enough as we were driving away I saw the farmer walking toward the stand, probably about to go count the money. Or am I just a paranoid New Yorker?). I spent part of Monday chopping sautéing and canning. I was thinking, as I stirred, about my grandmother. Would she be disappointed to know that ‘canning’ these days’ means carefully pouring into “ziploc” bags (which probably cost me more than the tomatoes)?
For me, Summer comes to a close at the end of tomato season. (And I see bill is ready for the Fall pig roast).

An article on Energy Trust of Oregon, where my friend Fred works. Fred posted the Portland gentrification history on the cinefiles page a while back (the Penny Allen thread).
