THE WONDERFUL, THE MARVELOUS, THE SPONTANEOUSLY COMBUSTING, THE INCINOLET

i have long fantasized about creating my own strawbale house
as a home or studio
in a remote, rural location

---

recently i looked more seriously into making this a possibility
this involved research into green plumbing and non-septic alternatives
subsequently, i came upon the
INCINOLET
which is FUCKING amazing

---

the primary users of this thing are scientists in remote locations
like astronomers and technicians who on microwave telescopes
they affectionately call it
"the turdburner"
(clearly a machine after my own heart)

---

anyway, i became obsessed with the incinolet for a short while
singing its praises and relatively low costs to anyone who would listen.

---

today, i found out that the artist
tom sachs
not only has a youtube channel
but also has a short video
dedicated
to the incinolet
enjoy

i woke up early thinking about what i was going to do next year
with a*space next year and whatnot
what with the booking for the first six weeks having fallen through.
having to wait on those projects, i thought about my
biweekly "bootleg video series" that i wanted to do.
so i started on a flyer
because i figured if it sat on my desktop
just glaring at me with those blank helvetica eyes
i would actually follow through with my plans
eventually

while i was making it, too, i realized that i am SO CLOSE to coming to a point where I feel really comfortable with my itunes library
for years, bobbing around forty gigs, but never being really happy
now we can just go round and round on random with rarely a skip
compared to the old days
(yay)

of course
all this will probably change
once i go back to sarah lawrence
and the ultimate self-consciousness sets in...

which reminds me...

Learning about the Phenomena of Britain's "Poddington Peas" late last night reminded me of THIS

(which is much better)



I still haven't actually seen the whole movie. I was first introduced to it by a group of four people who are quite honestly probably in the top ten coolest people i know, but unfortunately i was in a state of smoked inebriation where ringo starr and harry nillson's voices soothed me to a point (hur hur hur, get it?) beyond return. yeah man, i slept through it.

it was also at this moment that i was also introduced to the amazingness (and insane levels of frustration associated with) ZOME! Which I had pretty much forgotten about until this moment.

I leave you with a zome model of the "great grand stellated 120 cell"
