Big Grey pack of lies :
Sure it's all lies, but burried somewhere in the paper there is usually a truely weird article. A while back I tore this article out and now I want it back but dont want to pay for it (sample from archive for $) :
Kentucky Doctors Warn Against a Regional Dish: Squirrels' Brains
By SANDRA BLAKESLEE
Doctors in Kentucky have issued a warning that people should not eat squirrel brains, a regional
delicacy, because squirrels may carry a variant of mad cow disease that can be transmitted to
humans and is fatal. Although no squirrels have been tested ...

another reasonably average mindlessly blissless day shot to hell by the specter of impending bad news. had a small horde of chinese businessmen and women circling my apartment like ravenous buzzards eyeing a choice decaying morsel. you know its trouble when theyve got the tape measure out. and now that we are leaseless, its just one word and we are gone. looks like its time to draft the plan of last resort before i start crying about having to move again. did i mention i hate people?
I wouldn't say that you've mentioned your misanthropy in so many words but it is an intuited part of your presented mindset. For the most part I would say many people are worthy of your hatred, but it seems to me it is this angst against humanity that is the better part of your essence and so I think you should happily (while being angry) roll with the specter of Chinese doom.
No doubt you are right about the meaning of tape measure. If they start upchucking cornices, you should be proactive, and flee.
Jim had mentioned he thought the tree was expanding (by two branches) but wouldn't tip his hand till he was sure.
Last week Steve (you know him, you love him) loaded in with his excellent product and it looks like, as of this a.m. my friend Tom Moody hopped on board as well. I met Tom through Mark (artist and dada-punk guitarist) and Laurie (demented playwrite), (M & L r both Marianne Nowottny's handlers). Tom is an artist now working in the digital medium, has curated major shows and his critical writings on art have been published by many of the top magazines in that field. He also is a techknow dj and infallible speller. please make him welcome or what ever....
who is this?
I still can't figure out what to do about Steve's page not registering in the new post tracker (because he's not really making new posts, he's just using 'edit this page' to add/change the links on the side bar.) This isn't a problem, per se, I just can't think of how to integrate this easily, and of course I want to know when he puts up more of those designs (especially without loading in the 100k+ page everytime I want to check.) Anyway, there's a new one. Check it out.
looks like they dug some big old bell out of the bowels of the building they are renovating nextdoor. i wish i could grab (or date) it but looks like its a couple hundred pounds. (imagine picture here)

I keep forgetting to mention that if any of you regulars want a digitalmediatree email, just let me know what name you want for your account.
Oh my. I'm pretty sure nobody's ever done that with an animated .gif before.
There's new stuff on steve's page. He's posting the links on the left and so the new post tracker isn't picking them up. I'll fix that in the morning. This one's really cool though and I think a few people are looking around. So enjoy....
A lot of Catholics here in New Orleans but if you were to ask any one of them why Carnival, which is tied to Catholic traditions, begins on a different day every year, sometimes weeks apart, they just shrug. Tonite's the first New Orleans parade (the suburbs have already had one or two), and its on the mid-city route, which the Rocheblave house is a block and a half from, so Ima go on over, check it out. I'll be pissed if someone is blocking my driveway, but it's highly possible so I should get over it, take a deep breath, before I go. Today I was spraying a primer coat on the sheetrock (yeah, its finished, I ended up hiring it out, mostly, had to sand it myself), and near the end I'm in the kitchen spraying away and I hear a grunt outside and I look out the broken glass of the screwed shut back door and I see near nekkidity of a dude and we have a conversation which is me yelling at him, and him saying he is sorry, but I know how it is when you really gotta go. Shovel work, get me? Later.
time for a DMTree meeting
Welcome to Steve! The man who (sort of) named this site finally comes on board. I am very excited he's put some of his amazing art up on the web. Make sure you check out all the links on the left hand side of his page. Enjoy.
Dave's link to the update on Richard Jewel also contained some information I was wondering about the other day. Apparently Eric Rudolph is still at large (they think he was the real bomber in the Atlanta case Jewel was wrongly accused of, plus he is wanted for several other bombings of abortion clinics.) Anyway, how can he still be at large? He's on the FBI's 10 most wanted list which means they are definitely looking for him, but more importantly, he's been all over the news (or at least he was a couple of years ago.) I thought that America's Most Wanted proves that there is nowhere to hide? They always catch everybody that shows up on that show. Somebody must have seen this guy. I am truely baffled. Either, a) someone is hiding him and doing all of his interfacing with the world (buying food, ect...) and Eric himself literally NEVER steps foot outside, or b) he moved somewhere they don't have any U.S. media penetration. And is b) even possible? Where the hell is this guy?

Spoonerisms and Ig-pay Atin-lay
Schadenfreude, Dave? Is that an object lesson, or a broken link?
Garbage in, garbage out?
The human genome turns out to be more, and less, than expected.
I am experiencing (have noticed for a few days) a wackiness in the archives of all pages having them. Is this a singular experience do you think?
