"The Director's Director" Wong Kar-wai. I thought "In the Mood for Love" was beautiful. I look forward to 2046.

The most common scripted line in all Hollywood productions (it was used at least once 84% of the time) from the late 30s to the mid 70s, was:
"Let's get outta here!"
"Let's get outta here!"
tom ran into this once posting about the young turds on the fmu message board. the censorship script changes bad words (even if the are contained within other not bad words like shelly) to what ever they want. for instance hell = flint michigan and fuck = nina totenberg. here are some retards having fun with it.
This town, is coming like a ghost town
All the clubs have been closed down
This place, is coming like a ghost town
Bands won't play no more
too much fighting on the dance floor
Do you remember the good old days before the ghost town?
We danced and sang, and the music played in a de boomtown
This town, is coming like a ghost town
Why must the youth fight against themselves?
Government leaving the youth on the shelf
This place, is coming like a ghost town
No job to be found in this country
Can't go on no more
The people getting angry

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).
