Cewlers and Wowers

I wanted to get this in before I had to leave for a few days. Leigh Eel was not busy last night so we went to the moon as you can see. I forgot to write down the name of this place in case you want to visit - but I will put it in when I get back.

We talked about building things with light shining around such as a flashlight. That got me to thinking about building something that has the property of light being given off but the texture is clear so you don't see it. I am not sure how it will look - but it may make a wild sculpture. It is good to think of ideas even though my objects probably are not as cool as others. I think when you start doing something it always looks sort of goofy at first but the best thing is just to try things and see if they work.

Now you are probably wonder what cewlers and wowers are. When we were looking around last night there were two people who were walking around but we could not see them, however they were close enough to hear them. We tried to find them. They were not talking in long sentences, they were just saying "cool" and "wow". Leigh said "Let's see if we can locate the cewlers and wowers". However when we found them they did not say hello back to us. I guess they were too wrapped up in what they were looking at or something.

Talking With Franz

I was glad I got a chance to talk to Franz last night because I was worried he was depressed. I don't think that just by talking to me someone could magically get UN-depressed or anything but I think when you talk to people it can help some.

One thing I always notice is that people who are real good at creating things can have many swings of mood and emotion. I don't know why but I guess that is just the way it is.

Franz and I sat on some rocks looking at a really nice splashy ocean. The waves would hit the rocks and explode into a relaxing mist. The sound was quite calming. I hope Franz feels better soon.

My Dinner With Andrej

Well I had not talked to Andrej for a while but did the other night. I am calling this My Dinner With Andrej after that movie where those two guys just sat at dinner and talked. Actually Andrej and I did not eat dinner but that would really wreck up a good blog title. I told him some of the stuff I had been up to and he had some that he had been up to.

I met Andrej at this crazy American High School - but since I dropped out I will not mention the name. It was fun to be there for the first time but I kept getting confused at the classes. Everybody talked all the time and you could not really understand what was going on. I don't think I really like High Schools, at least the American style.

What I liked to do at this school was to swim naked in the pool, but I think some of the students were sort of freaked out about that. Andrej used to be on the gymnastics team at the school and he had a uniform and everything.

Well the last thing I am going to say about American schools is that I keep thinking that there must be something not right in the U.S. if this is what schools are like. It is almost like throwing all the students into a big machine and chewing them up.

Exotic Dancing

Last Saturday Franz asked me to fill in at the last minute to be an exotic dancer. I got to wear a tiny thong (that is where people stuff dollar bills) and dance around a pole. If you think about it, it is sort of a crazy thing to do but I figured you should try to do different things. Well Dear Readers it was fun but I am not sure it is really who I am. I didn't take any pictures to show you either.

Tarot Sculpture of Madcow Cosmos

I can look at tarot cards all day and keep wondering about all their meanings. There are so many ways to interpret what they could mean. Today I saw a whole deck in the form of sculptures. I think I will go back and walk around again. These sculptures by Madcow Cosmos have many details to look at. The whole thing blew my mind, and I can't believe how much work it must have taken to build the whole set. You can go there this way. I liked the work so much that I had to put it in my blog so people would not miss it.

I really like to write about art and creative stuff that I see and I think a lot of people would enjoy it too. I thought maybe I should be an art critic. I am not sure I am smart enough to be an art critic though. I figured I should go to the library and look at all those fancy art magazines so I can see how it is done. I read the reviews about shows at galleries and then the oddest thing would happen. Right after I read an article I would turn the page and there was a big full page advertisement for that artist at that gallery. I guess it was just a coincidence.

Ricardito Castaignede's Waste Dump

Last night Ricardito showed me the finishing touches on the toxic waste dump to go a along with the new musical The Toxic Avenger. It is located near the theater (which is in Broadway Live South) - sort of near the side. Just go past the yellow ribbons and barricades. Here is how to get there.

Don't forget to turn on the midnight look - that makes it look real creepy.
Ric and I talked for a while. I took a nice picture I was going to use but I must have not had film in my camera or something because I could not find the picture today. What a bummer. Ric must like to go fishing a lot. He said to be sure and mention what a nice cod piece he has.
Oh well - more later.

Big Cruise Ship

People sure do like to build things that remind them of things they like in RL. Yesterday I was at a dance for an art exhibit on a cruise ship. I took a picture of Franz and I talking on a deck so you can see how big it is. At the dance I asked people who may have known more about the ship if this was the Titantic but they laughed and said no. But I am so embarrassed - I forgot to take my reporter's notebook and forgot to write down all the important stuff. I forgot to even write down the name of the artist, I think her name was Gracie something. Well I will just have to go back to get the facts.

Since I started this blog I find that I like to write about things people do and build and behave. And I like to write about the stuff people make up in their head and then make it exhist so other people can look at it. It is so cool to just walk up to artists and talk to them. Sometimes artists are famous but I think a lot of them tell you stuff about what they did if you just walk up to them and start asking.

Well I have learned a lesson Dear Readers, from now on I am going to try to take notes better. Well let me close now and send my best wishes to all.
