a tip from joey roth

listening to cymande

we had a dance party

on thanksgiving.

 ps: i was looking at
nyc apartments on craigslist
and stumbled upon a brilliant post.
Instead of writing about the loft
they posted this video.


i want to
live with the
brat pack.

the old man and the sea

tell me a "big fish" story

or some kind of

an exaggeration

of the truth

forgotten frames

do you see yourself

growing old in the city,

or out in the country?

 

country.
but 45 min
to a city

enjoy your thanksgiving

tumbling tumble weeds

here on the range i belong

pledging my love to the ground

i'll keep rolling along.

drifting with the tumbling

tumble weeds.

ps: the tumble weed in my sister's

bungalow really ties the

room together.

down in LA

...where the light

makes me feel a bit

closer to Mexico

I'm not mexican

but mexico has always been

a great comfort to me and my family.

i think it might be a california thing.

you know,

our population is

almost 50 / 50 now.

i would be down

if we all switched

to spanish.

regardless,

if you live in california

you gotta speak some spanish.

it should be a requirement.

lou dobbs

is spitting on

me right now.

i'm not young enough

to know everything
- oscar wilde

Plain I see you Western youths

 

GO FORTH!

We debouch upon

a newer, mightier world,

varied world.

 

For we cannot tarry here,

We must march my darlings,

We must bear the brunt of danger,

We the youthful sinewy races,
all the rest of us depend.
Pioneers! O pioneers!

excerpts from
Pioneers! O pioneers!
by walt whitman

ps: every book G.M. Stewart 
has given to me

what are your apartment

prerequisites?

 1. wood floors
2. white walls
3. a fireplace

and tall windows

i like to scatter
color and artifacts
in clean white spaces.

ps: i have a fear

of non-lived in spaces

one of the reasons

 i didn't pursue architecture,

was that i didn't want to

build anything new.

1. white chapel via remodelista 

2. a store on mulackstrasse, berlin 

3. my rental in berlin

today's design

 challenge:

list the most handsome,
graphically alluring
skin products

khiels

dr. bronner's

malin + goetz

dr. hauschka

?

do the products

live up to their

packaging?

nevertheless,

the aisles and aisles

of products and promises

shoved down our throats today

seem to sell us more insecurity

than transformation.

 it's a vicious cycle.

maybe we would all be

a lot happier if we had

fewer choices.

ps: i stick to 3:

egyptian magic, skin food

bronner's magic soapbox

sold at whole foods.

that moment in cinema
when capturing the human face
still plunged audiences into
the deepest ecstasy,

when one literally lost oneself
in a human image as one would in a philtre,
when the face represented a kind of
absolute state of the flesh,

which could be neither
reached nor renounced.

—Roland Barthes

 the time has come

my friends

if you look to your

left, you'll see an ad

...or two.

after a year of

holding back, weary

 of advertising on a blog...

i have decided to
embrace an ad or two

as a means to sustain this

 curious & exposed lady

i call 2 or 3 things

and in this rhythm
of surrendering to new
ideas and possibilities

i have made it

a personal design challenge

to advertise companies that
mean something to me.

companies that try look
at objects, design, media

in a different way.

 I expect you
to be suspect

and thus, i hope this

continues the dialogue

i enjoy so much
