Attic Day
Attic Day 2007 was certainly interesting.
On one hand it was good to "hear" from people and check off some of those boxes.
On the other hand Attic Day is a motherfucker. Because we all die, that's why. Some of us suffer prolonged lung/liver diseases and s.l.o.w.l.y. die while our dearest friends sit by and watch the TeeVee with us because the whole process of dying is so completely absurd that trying to dig up poignancy is even more ridiculous. I mean, what, we're suppose to suddenly "get" what this was all about? Nope.
Or, we fall through a chimney in Chinatown and plummet down 12 goddamn floors of darkened elevator shaft (and darkened is key because that descent is both timeless and endless). No time to figure it all out there, right? Or is there? All you can get out is, "Are you fucking serious? This is how I go? How embarrassing! People are going to pity me for being the subject to this ridiculous accident. They're going to say stupid shit like, 'She's somewhere better now' or 'hopefully it didn't cause much pain.' 'Will this increase the value of my art?'"
We die. Live it up, suckers because you're going to die.
So, take all your Account Manager titles and your slimy Purell® brand hand sanitizer hands and do something. Make something. Love something. Go somewhere. Get over yourselves Working Heroes of America. Have a thought and have an opinion...on me.

Bug Workaround
You may have noticed that since the beginning of the month or so, clicking on images displayed a file download box instead of showing the full-size image in the browser.
Until Blogger fixes this now known bug, I've gone back and hand-edited these posts so you can see them. And I will hand-edit new posts until the bug is fixed.
No biggie. Just changing a couple of lines of code...directory stuff.
UPDATE: Looks like it's now fixed.

LOOK
Film Is Entirely Made Of Surveillance Video
"There are approximately 30 million surveillance cameras in the United States capturing covert images of average Americans as much as 200 times a day. They’re watching in department stores, gas stations, changing rooms, public bathrooms—seemingly no one and nowhere is free from the dispassionate eye of the hidden camera. LOOK lets you do just that: several interweaving storylines are expanded over the course of a random week in a random city…with all action experienced from the point of view of the security cameras."

Shock and Awe

PHILADELPHIA ―
Philadelphia Police have ruled out foul play after a bizarre death in Center City Sunday.
Authorities said a 27-year-old Maryland woman fell 12 stories to her death inside an apartment building at 11th and Arch Streets.
Police believe the victim was on the roof of the building when she fell into a chimney, which collapsed and sent her plunging down an elevator shaft, police said.
The woman, whose name was not released last night, was on the roof of the building near 10th and Arch Streets with five friends when she fell back into a brick chimney.
