Have a good three-day.

Speechless.

Wig? Check. Dress/shirt? Check. Large hobo bag? Check.

Pants?.....

Holy geez.

It was delicious!

bathrooms can be really confusing.

And that's why people need a little instruction.

The past couple of posts are from the blog I'm trying to keep updated while I'm in India taking care of visa stuff. Though you guys would like to see some random shots!

Let me know if you guys want anything from the motherland! (Brandon's already put in his request for a camel... I think he's a little confused about India vs. Saudi Arabia).

Ali & Friends

I don't know where the phrase "street urchin" came from... but I met Ali while we were waiting at the butcher. He wanted to see how the camera worked so I took a couple of pictures of him and then next thing I knew he had me taking a bunch of shots of him and his friends.

While leaving the he turns to me and in the most business-like tone says "Get these pictures to me by tomorrow, ok?". I doubt I'll be able to find Ali but maybe he'll stumble across these pictures online.

Random Pics

a nice break

Most of these pictures don't seem like they could be real. And each one has an amazing ability to make your mind wander and ultimately make up stories of their past.
I recommend looking at all of the different themes. They're eerily beautiful and fascinating.

Designer Manifesto

Icon Magazine has published the manifesto's of 50 famous (I imagine, although have no idea) designers. The image is by Yves Behar.

Some of my favorite pieces:
he essence of British landscape architecture was to reshape nature according to fashion and taste; the cult of the cultivar, the art of the artefact... ! Landscape was the domain of dandies, hermits and poets. The 20th century produced landscapes of little or no interest. The specific became general, the norm became the rule, landscape turned into environment. A delicate green tissue turned into a monstrous green blanket...

Landscape architecture should once again become a source of aesthetic experimentation.


AND

Design makes things seem special, and who wants normal if they can have special? And that’s the problem.

What has grown naturally and unselfconsciously over the years cannot easily be replaced. Not that old things shouldn’t be replaced or that new things are bad, just that things that are designed to attract attention are usually unsatisfactory. There are better ways to design than putting a big effort into making something look special. Special is generally less useful than normal, and less rewarding in the long term. Special things demand attention for the wrong reasons, interrupting potentially good atmosphere with an awkward presence. Preserve Normal, resist Special!

Everybody who is honest is interesting

We believe that “content” is something you do – not something you are given by a person in a black T-shirt.

"Ghostbuster lunch box dick treasure chest"

todays lesson, brought to you by BEES!

This is really quite useless, but of course I think it's competely fascinating. (oh how I love useless factoids.)
Some scientist out there decided to render images of flowers to represent how insects actually see them via UV light.

NY is full or super heroes

Maybe not heroes, but definitely super.
Yesterday, I was forwarded this site. And while many of you may not actually live in NY, you should still be able to enjoy the mainstream appreciation of the weirdness that exists here.

And by the way. My very own DM spotted He-Man at Union Square today and has sent in his photo. Hopefully he will be posting soon. I'm so proud.

Freedom

After much consideration I have decided to spread my wings. I gave notice to Franklin Street that I am going to be exploring other opportunities. But I'm really just going to take a few months off. If anyone knows anyone or hears of any positions in DC, say around October, please shoot me an email at glenn224@hotmail.com.

Dammit, I wish I still had my RV! I could be truckin.

Hope to see you all soon.

Chocolate Rain

I think I've shown many of you this. But for those of you who haven't seen it, enjoy its awesomeness.

Quests

Sounds like your friend is on a quest:

I think you're all fucked in the head. We're ten hours from the fucking fun park, and you wanna bail out! Well, I'll tell you something, this is no longer a vacation . . . it's a quest! It's a quest for fun! I'm gonna have fun, and you're gonna have fun! We're all gonna have so much fucking fun we'll need plastic surgery to remove our Goddamn smiles! You'll be whistling Zip-a-dee-doo-da out of your assholes! I've got to be crazy! I'm on a pilgrimage to see a moose! Praise Marty Moose!

I say good luck. If she wants a shot out in SF, lemme know.
