Post Titled: presse.
my days of rebellion and protest are pretty much over. Taking to the streets for WTO Seattle, Iraq War and both Bush elections all proved to be discouraging, yet I was never arrested. Tomorrow, however, is May 1, since 1987 a traditional day in Berlin where people (punks, immigrants, locals, whoever) take to the streets in certain parts of Kreuzberg and pull out the cobblestones in the sidewalks to throw them at the police and then get beat-up and arrested to protest something- like, maybe it is just a multiprotest.
I am going to attempt to photograph and video this tomorrow without getting hit by flying rocks or bottles or teargas or get peppersprayed or get arrested (for just being there- BUT definitely (most importantly) without getting my camera destroyed. Hopefully if I have a big camera and wear my YouTube shirt like a dork then perhaps I will be more immune, mal sehen.
here are some "edgy videos" about it:

Post Titled: fresh meat.
damn- I still I think slate is right when they say "Forget Miley Cyrus. Check out Disney's Chinese underwear ad." (foto above) but but but
uhm, what to say... I hate these types of posts... just skip this. scan down to the image... so, here I am, my grasp- no, my ability to see the sense and reason(s)ing american value system drifting away into absurd obscurity like that escaped red helium balloon in that old belgium or french movie where the kid is chasing an escaped red helium balloon throughout some charming city in belgium or france... indeed, the more time I spend in this heathen land of europe, the less I notice boobs. I am actually tired of having this conversation with myself, this monologue, like: "wooo, so many boobs and naked bodies in the liberal and mind/bodily free continent of europe. gr. fine. there are boobs in the ads. you all have boobs in your ads and you are so free and we are not we are puritan party weirdos and you have boobs and asscracks on dvd covers at the video store and on the fronts of magazines and we do not because we are uptight and can't handle boobs, I don't know why, ok,ok, fine." CHANGE GEARS
ok, the shockoutrage in the media today over this foto is just... unnecessary. in the 2-3 minutes which I have been able to tolerate actually watching Hannah Montana videos, (super obnoxiously annoying videos, actually) it seems like Disney already sells her as a nubile sex symbol but to her own peer group... so take off her shirt and plop her in-front of Annie Leibovitz and market her towards a broader audience and suddenly people go ape-shit? Parents go ape-shit. Bill O'Reily goes all ape-shit... So, if this girl is marketed as a sort of tomboyish cool goofy nubile sex-symbol by Disney - that is ok, but to arts-ily portray her as an actual vulnerable more serious/ly) nubile sex symbol to everyone is outrageous? mmh... ja... go figure... the enigma of the american value system... The image itself is actually kind of Tim Burton-esque...

Post Titled: lots of über-logical childishly simplistic reasons Why McCain Can't be President
because: haven't you seen the scientific studies which say old people are about to die? and if you are about to die you won't be right in the head- like, if I were going to die tomorrow I might spend the rest of the day doing silly impulsive things. That is why McCain can't be president. I love my grandparents, but they are old and do not necessarily understand the world (especially the world I live in) any longer, therefore they are really not fit to rule- and McCain is almost as old as my grandparents; therefore McCain cannot be president. McCain cannot be president because he would be impeached shortly thereafter because if he were to become president then the Terminators would get loose, the constitution would be altered overnight to allow Arnold Schwarzenegger to become President (even though he was not born on American soil) to fight the Terminators until the end of the world in 2012... (despite the Terminators being from 2029...) McCain Cannot be President...because...(see above photo triptych)

Post Titled: NPR
Post Subtitled: My undying love for Shakira is rekindled... for a morning, at least.
Months ago I stopped using the radio as an alarm because I had it set to German news- all of which ruined my day, but recently I reremembered that there is 104.1 the Berlin NPR station- and what did I wake up to this morning, this early lovely accented laughing voice talking quite cleverly about education in the developing world- "who IS this? who is Robert Siegel talking to..." blink-blink, trying to get my bearings- and it turns out to be Shakira on All Things Considered. Upstairs, Ms. Saul has a miniposter of Shakira in her kitchen, which I love.
Basically, before my first cup of coffee on a Tuesday I am willing to say that Shakira... is great.

Furthermore: I come into work asking Dan if that quote he skyped me was from the news report about how Juarez had to have its police force more or less replaced by the military-
"No- it was from Battlestar Galactica."
I recently let him borrow Season One on DVD- now anyone and everyone might be a cylon... anyhow,
QUOTE: "There's a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people."

Post Titled: DINU
fascinating post about Obama's Deeply Immersive Narrative Universe thanks Dan-
on another note, from the Nation and rereported by the WSJ:
"You're now tuned into the muh'fuckin greatest. Turn the music up in the headphones Tim, you can go and brush your shoulder off nigga I got you, yeah
[Chorus: Jay-Z]
If you feelin like a pimp nigga, go and brush your shoulders off. Ladies is pimps too, go and brush your shoulders off. Niggaz is crazy baby, don't forget that boy told you. Get, that, dirt off your shoulder:


[Verse One]
I probably owe it to y'all, proud to be locked by the force. Tryin to hustle some things, that go with the Porsche. Feelin no remorse, feelin like my hand was forced
Middle finger to the law, nigga grip'n my balls
All the ladies they love me, from the bleachers they screamin
All the ballers is bouncin' they like the way I be leanin'
All the rappers be hatin', off the track that I'm makin'
But all the hustlers they love it just to see one of us make it. Came from the bottom the bottom, to the top of the pots. Nigga London, Japan and I'm straight off the block. Like a running back, get it man, I'm straight off the block. I can run it back nigga cause I'm straight with the Roc"


(or for the slightly more content-oriented video version, which includes other Jay-Z BLACK ALBUM hits):



[Chorus]

[Chorus Two]
You gotta get, that, dirt off your shoulder
You gotta get, that, dirt off your shoulder
You gotta get, that, dirt off your shoulder
You gotta get, that, dirt off your shoulder

[Verse Two]
Your homey Hov' in position, in the kitchen with soda. I just whipped up a watch, tryin to get me a Rover. Tryin to stretch out the coca, like a wrestler, yessir
Keep the Heckler close, you know them smokers'll test ya. But like, fifty-two cards when I'm, I'm through dealin. Now fifty-two bars come out, now you feel 'em. Now, fifty-two cars roll out, remove ceiling. In case fifty-two broads come out, now you chillin. with a boss bitch of course S.C. on the sleeve. At the 40/40 club, ESPN on the screen. I paid a grip for the jeans, plus the slippers is clean. No chrome on the wheels, I'm a grown-up for real

[Chorus + Chorus Two]

[Verse Three]
Your boy back in the building, Brooklyn we back on the map. Me and my beautiful beeeeeeeitch in the back of that 'Bach. I'm the realest that run it, I just happen to rap. I ain't gotta clap at 'em, niggaz scared of that black
I drop that +Black, Album+ then I back, out it. As the best rapper alive nigga ask about me. From Bricks to Billboards, from grams to Grammys
The O's to opposite, Orphan Annie. You gotta pardon Jay, for sellin out the Garden in a day, I'm like a young Marvin in his hey'
I'm a hustler homey, you a customer crony
Got some, dirt on my shoulder, could you brush it off for me?

[Chorus + Chorus Two]

You're now tuned into the muh'fuckin greatest

Girl E suggests the film "Love Actually" and explains why, quite thoroughly. To the point where you buy it. Not literally. But you do download with intent to watch. You are also both able to agree that 10 Things I Hate About You is a truly great film in its own right.

the Wildfang gives you "Planet Terror" to borrow, warning of its terrible-ness and pointlesness, nevertheless she loves horror. Primarily only watches horror. Horror.

Girl A burns you a DVD of 5 Tarkovsky films the day after you meet her. She looks like a young Meryl Streep.

Post Subtitled: having another wu-tang moring... cnaÄt do muc about that, it just sweeps over me. then: BLAWH!

I am interrupting this regularly-scheduled post because Dan just found this in the Guardian:
"Referring to the fact that the Spanish prime minister, José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, has just appointed Spain's first female-majority cabinet, Berlusconi said on Wednesday that "Zapatero has formed a government that is too pink, something that we cannot do in Italy because there is a prevalence of men in politics and it isn't easy to find women who are qualified ... He will have problems leading them. Now he's asked for it."

Ok, -that m%§her§"$ker is just backwards.

I do so very much enjoy reading Wu-Tang lyrics... (which, alone, without the audio as a guide to how the words are said- the WAY they are said- the text just seems nonsensical... not that it makes all theat much sense anyhow, but after reading the text, then watch the video... NOTE: below are the censored lyrics- I actually prefer them more because it ends up being more clever, but the audio in the video below is NOT censored therefore the lyrics do not match exactly with the text... and then read the lyrics... hi, it is 9:36 am on Friday, April 18, 2008.

Post Titled: Comment is now post...
I posted such a long comment on Mithridates recent post "god bless you you are a good man" post that I thought I might just go ahead and re-post it here... the story is actually much longer and stranger, but I cannot remember many of the details- namely the things she would say, alas:
At an art opening several years ago I met a woman who was very lively and entertaining, from a distance she looked like a teenager, but up close one could see a few grey hairs and very tired eyes, even though her body was still petite and quite juvenile. Everyone had been drinking wine and all was well, very enjoyable chit-chat-chit-chat. Later a few of us went to her studio. There were dozens of tiny images all over the walls, most of them of a young man and woman riding bikes. "That is Jessica Simpson and her Boyfriend Nick there, they were in my photography class, I took fotos of them all the time, nice- I mean, they were ok, kind of nice people." "Oh, reallly-?" we all played along with what we thought was a joke. A few days later I bumped into her on the street- actually she was squatting down in th middle of a crosswalk, she saw me and just said "Hey James, I found your ID!" she handed me someone's old bank ATM card which looked like it had been runover by a week's worth of traffic- "oh,... thanks..." ok, so my name isn't James, maybe she just forgot, we were a bit drunk.
I went with her to visit her studio again since it was half a block away and one floor above mine. The had been very busy painting all the walls in many many muddled layers of neon so it was a sprt of deep purple mush with bits of flourescent orange and pink and green peeking through- then, using that as a background, she had painted full-body portraits of very disturbing prostitutes doing some extremely provocative things with their very graphic girly parts- also with the help of little hairy cartoon men who looked like grimy little gangsters in soiled wifebeaters. This is a bit disturbing... in the middle of the room there is a cast-iron daybed, piled on top are MOUNDS of clothes an women's accessories, hairdryers, curling irons, etc.-
She points out Jessica Simpson again. "Oh,great-" I manage. She explains that she has been moving a lot. "They wanted my information in Colorado when I tried to get an apartment. They wanted my signature and ID and stuff. So I left."
"Oh. Ok..."
"They want all that stuff here, too . My signature and ID- they want that stuff still! They are collecting it, just like they did in Colorado an Kentucky! They'll collect it all-"

Three weeks later there was a eviction notice on the door, and after that the place was emptied of her things- all of which were dumped in the filthy back alley. Amongst her things was the photo album her parents had made during her mother's pregnancy with her. That was really hard to see just sitting there in the mud, practically in a puddle- so I brought it into my own studio and out it on the floor. A year later I donated it along with a bunch of other things to the Salvation Army.
Never saw her again.

Mr. White schrieb: Wait, so you don't have Skype at work anymore?
TAR schrieb: I do, but it is a new name and I am not allowed to have any contacts outside of the office.
yes, it hurts a little bit.
Mr. White schrieb: Wow, that's retarded. Do they think you're incapable of communicating with people outside the office through other means?

Got off my lazy bum and finally did something interesting after work- met Helen for a beer at ye olde Yorkschlosschen, not paying attention to the time at all- then with 5 minutes to spare we zipped superfast on bicycles as not to be toooo terribly late to pay a very reasonable €5 at Hebbel am Ufer EINS a.k.a. HAU 1 to see Art Spiegelman talk about the history of comics, really really great- actually, I even started getting antsy, squirming in my seat and struggling to take notes in the dark on the (hopefully) blank back side of my ticket- excellent presentation- and then a sort of odd Q and A where he sat stuck in the middle of the stage between a pretty American woman journalist, Anjana Shrivastava (Welt Online) -a slim Manhattanish-clad with long dark curls and on the other side a blonde puffy redfaced German (Claus Christian Malzahn of Spiegel Online) as they shot these softly meaningless and fluffily menacing (but politically-charged), fairly redundant questions at him from both sides. Talk-Pong. *Donk*... *Donk*
I did actually ask a completely unintelligent question in a moment of panic- suddenly found my hand in the air then standing and adressing - I mean, with these timid Berlin audiences it has happened all too often that the alloted audience Q and A time is never taken-up, bambis in the audience timid timid inner turmoid but no open mouthes -a few questions are asked... but then- "Any more questions?... anyone else?..." dot dot dot, personally if you have someone like Art Spiegelman before you and have the chance to ask a question- well, seems like a great opportunity, also i think it is just respectful of the audience to exhaust the presenter to the point of "Ok, last question-" it shows that they are engaged and actually care-
anyhow, during the presentation (which covered a brief history of the birth and development of comics in print) he dismissed superheroes almost altogether- I was a bit shocked. I mean, here I am - the build-up, waiting until he reaches the X-Men, Fantastic Four, and maybe even some latter-day favorites, touch on the Death of Superman? Touch on the beauty of Spawn or short-lived the Maxx the gazillions of independent comics which are created now?
Nope. No mention of any contemporary Crumb-esque masters and absolutely no no No cred for superheroes: their existence is irrelevant - move on to next subject: Darger. I asked him what else he might say about superheroes if he had more time, would he just continue to bash them?
I believe his response was actually that the drive behind superhero comics was (to) "blow/shoot a wad of machismo/masculinity onto the page/at the reader(?). Galactus, Silver Surfer... I'm still working through it with my therapist." I was surprised later over a falafel when Adam, who had had him as a professor at Columbia- a fact I was not aware of- (in a class of 14 students! fahk, nice.) said that he always re-enforced this anti-superheroism, it pissed off the dykes in the class a LOT.
If I step back and dissect this superhero dismissal ...I suspect he may take this stance for a reason... perhaps for the very same reason that I kind of resent- hmm, maybe Damien Hirst or Matthew Barney? they are successful and popular within their field, they are lucky, wealthy, talented, popular and ... wait, what is a better comparison. Maybe... hmm, a young talented writer like ________ writer who resents J.K. Rowling or Stephen King... Hm. I guess my theory is that Mr. Spiegelman, who is very talented, is a weirdo, a clever oddball- therefore although he may produce great images and brilliant societal and human commentary, he is no Stan Lee, his comics have not been turned into billion dollar blockbusters, -I think -within the world of comics and their creators- that must make one a bit bitter... Nevertheless, despite this little (grr) issue the evening was brilliant, I just wanted to drop everything and draw- which I did- and realized just HOW difficult it is to work with boxes! I have tried for years- the boxes are insanely frustrating... perhaps it is better if do the drawings first then cut them out and glue them or make a comic frame, cut them out and tape them to the back so they are all nicely framed from the front... because building the boxes and then drawing in them is/would make(ing) me nuts-o.

Ok, and on a side note, he mentioned Daumier- and I have a great regret: I was in a antique shop about 4 or 5 years ago and there was a little framed cartoon-caricature sketch by Daumier on sale for I think $120, and I thought- "hmm..." walked out, came back 3 days later aaand -of course- it was already gone. PAIN! it was so lovely. he is so good. Oh, crap, he was also buried in Père Lachaise Cemetery- last time I was there I don't think I had heard of him yet. should go back...

MYFACESPACEBOOK
generation
Post Subtitled: Oh, yea, that is why this blog is more-or-less anonymous?... almost forgot.
Debate about the effects of people's MySpace and Facebook profiles on their job application process has been raging for days in a Yahoo! group that I belong to, my response was:

"as much as I wouldn't want to be rejected myself due to facebook or myspace page contents- about two years ago we were using craigslist to find a new housemate and I then found myself compulsively googling/mspacing/facebooking potential people after we had met with them. Unfair? Needless to say we did not gice a second interview to the recent college grad sorority girl who was a self-described "booze-whore" in her myspace page. She was slightly shady, obviously not a good fit for the house but the "booze whore" really put the nail in the coffin.
Basically, employers could be a bit more realistic/lenient with regards to expectations about what they will find / weighing the sorts of things they are bound to come across when looking at these people's online selves AND -more importantly- this Myfacespacebook Generation could be a LOT smarter about calling themselves "booze-whores" -(wtf?)
-cheers,"


OTHERS' RESPONSES:


"A noted futurist (I'll see if I can dig up the name and the linked essay) wrote a great piece about a year ago on how the concept of privacy would be seen as silly and old-fashioned in the near future. I don't think the generation of kids growing up now will fully experience that, but perhaps
the next generation will."


"If I read about your recovery from cancer, I'm less apt to hire you because
people who have had cancer are statistically more likely to have it again.

If I read about growing up adopted, I'm perhaps more likely to hire you
since I was adopted too.

My point: Everything counts, one way or another."

"I love how the word "discrimination" gets thrown around like it's automatically a bad thing.
If you're hiring people, your *job* is to discriminate: Against morons. Against people who do not know how to project a professional image. Against people who can't get the typos out of their resumes and cover letters. Social networking sites allow you to add a few more criteria -- now you can discriminate against people who interview well, but lack judgment about how
to more generally present themselves. You can discriminate against people
who party too much and might be too hung over to work. You can discriminate
against liars who then brag to their friends about their lies (amazing how
many people do this). And if you're me, you can discriminate against anyone
with nose, eyebrow or tongue jewelry. (Hi, I'm a hardass.)

The things you can't discriminate against are spelled out clearly in federal
and state law; everything else -including everything I just listed- can
and should be fair game."


"What if you are eliminated from a pool of applicants, not because of who you are on Facebook but who your friends are?
If you're friends with people who are gay or bisexual or black or Christian
or Jewish, and you're not hired because of the person's bias against that
group - then they aren't technically discriminating against you for those
things but you're still being eliminated due to those categories. Where do

New twist on this topic... What if someone else posts something -- picture, text, etc. -- about you on their blog, Facebook / MySpace page, etc., and then refuses to take it down. What then? What do you do and how do you address it during the job search process, especially if you KNOW it's something that someone doing a simple web search will find? Do you acknowledge it, thereby drawing attention to it and perhaps giving it extra credence, and try to mitigate its effect by explaining it? Or do you simply ignore it and risk not even getting calls for interviews?

Dear X, As I understand it, if you can prove that it is untruthful and it has caused injury (like costing you a job), you have a case for libel.
45 states recognize that some categories of statements are considered to be defamatory "per se", such that people making a defamation claim for these statements do not need to prove that the statement was defamatory. In the common law tradition, damages for such statements are presumed and do not have to be proven. Traditionally, these per se defamatory statements include:
* Allegations or imputations "injurious to another in their trade, business, or profession"
* Allegations or imputations "of loathsome disease"
* Allegations or imputations of "unchastity"
* Allegations or imputations of criminal activity
The key being though that the allegations are untrue. If they're true, you don't have much of a leg to stand on.
In terms of whether to engage or not, you have to determine how much of a threat it really is. Some times it's not worth the effort because few people saw or will see it, the source is questionable, etc. On the other hand, if it does have a possibility of getting a larger audience or people may actually believe it, then it may be in your best interest to take action."

"Clean up your digital identity. If you • have a MySpace, Facebook or other social networking profile, take some time to review your pages and make sure they are presenting the image of yourself you’d want a recruiter or your future boss to see—because they ARE LOOKING. You may need to edit profile information, delete certain "friends" or groups, take down some photos. It’s time to leave the kegger behind and focus on the next stage in your career. No one expects you to be perfect, but this is your opportunity to put your best foot forward. Have someone you trust review your profile and give you their opinion. Make sure the email address you use is professional; they should not contain nicknames or slang. When possible use an email address that incorporates your first and last name."

"The fact is, if it's posted on-line in public view, a potential employer
could disqualify you for virtually any piece of information that he/she
doesn't like. And you will never know what happened or why.
My philosophy is this: I don't post anything I wouldn't want an employer to
see, but I also don't hold back on anything important to me in my personal
life.
If an employer were to reject me for anything I've consciously posted
on-line, then that's not the employer I want to work for. "

Post Titled: sinking ship.

When I left that US in 2006 I didn't have that many hesitations, not only was I tired of the craziness and menainglessness which I felt were the backbone of daily life there but I was also fearful of real impending economic and societal collapse. After awhile- after some time away I then thought thati was paranoid and perhaps delusional to think that way... but now, somedays / sometimes I think that perhaps I was right-on. ONly time will tell, really- the United States is clever, resilient, sly, tough: a survivor BUT... but every system has its limits.

The lovely, talented and charming J.Go sent this article called The End of the World as You Know It ... and the Rise of the New Energy World Order By Michael T. Klare this morning about energy crisis from truthout. OUCH.

thankfully there is YouTube to help prevent us from crying on our keyboards- to make us forget about the world's problems for a minute or two:

Post Titled: Obama is "elitist and out of touch."

This is what got him into the pickle:
"They get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."
Hilary's response:
"I was taken aback by the demeaning remarks Senator Obama made about people in small-town America, His remarks are elitist and out of touch."
(I still cannot remember if Hilary has one or two l's ...)

at first I thought: "OUCH, Barack- being a bit too honest can bite you in the ass, he should know that- alas..." and then I remembered: Mark Penn and Burson-Marstellar! Why hasn't this blown Mrs. Clinton out of the water? it is ÜBER-slimey and shady!!! Kindo of like most US PR in general... I had been lightly researching Burson-Marsteller about a year ago for work, a lot of the links and whatnot I have long forgotten or would have to dig-up, but in the meantime PR Source Watch does a good job (click that)
Up til now Post-Google has been fairly pro-Obama and not toooo critial of Mrs. Clinton... that might have to change, as in,

Right before I woke up this morning I was in a dream which took place in the near future, I sitting was in a stark 70's-style computer lab trying to write and article, Hilary and McCain were the candidates and after trying for many hours to write something interesting I just pressed my forehead to the edge of the table and stared at the floor, overcome at how derpressing and hopeless it was to live in a world where Hilary and McCain were running for president. It really felt like another 4 years of complete SHIT on the way either way.

Post Titled: tax me.

It is true... German taxes... (*sniff-sniff, whimper*) I got a €100 raise from from last month to this month and APPARENTLY €46,51 of it went straight to taxes. Awesome. Very encouraging. That makes me really want to work more.
OR: Why not just give ALL of EVERYONE's money to the government and just give me a voucher booklet, that's all I really need- an effing booklet full of coffee and milk and fruit and cheese and coal and beer and bike repair vouchers and I#ll be just effing fine, guys...
I know I know, I have been warned of the insulting nature of the German tax Monster- it IS insulting to the individual, and then... hmm... has the potential to kill the will. BUT on the other hand there is the cutthroat capitalist method- where you are dying in a gutter and no one rally gives a damn... hmmm.

Post Subtitled:
"Austern ohne Schale" (Oysters without shells)
Went up to water Ms. Saul's flowers and plants "you can hang out at watch a movie if you want" she said and since her DVD player is all-region whereas mine is only region 2 this is a particularly lucrative prospect. Watered all the plants, noticing how directle out the window across the Hof there is a blonde girl with her desk right in front of the window so that if she is sitting there then she look directly into Ms. Saul's kitchen, which must be awkward because there is also the fold-down bathtub from the wall... which is the only way to bathe, and the curtains are skimply, anyhow, whatever- so I plopped on the couch and noticed a burnt DVD "Austern ohne Schale" started watching and was really into it, very low budget- (not even an imdb page, actually the director Jette Müller does) shot in Berlin, not exactly sure where, but it looks like Kreuzberg (if films are shot in berlin I always look for architecure AND grafitti as landmarks. Actually, this was another film where the sets look so similar to the apartments I know here that I felt like the actors might walk into the apartment at any time and plop their arse on the couch next to me lethargically.)
All it was was a film about people in their latelate 20s to early-to-mid 30s (it all drips with Berlinity) lost people... women looking for interesting men and true love and someone to have a satisfying existence & babies with, men who are looking for interesting women, etc. Exeryone is lethargic, drifting, wanting, quietly hating their job or unemployed- hm. Although this type of film might've been exhausted by Gen X in the mid to late 90s, and might usually be annoying- this one was not. The two main women who were the focus of the film, who are played by___ and ______(???) are really fascinating to watch ... (more later)...
P.S. wow... this film really has no net presence... it is mentioned here ant there, but no images or video...

Post Titled: The Dirty Projectors "The Getty Address"
the Dirty Projectors' album "the Getty Address" (first full-length? 2006?) is not made of the the mindblowing poppy tightly-chaotic goodness one might encounter when hearing them live. Rather, it is an album for heaphones on a Fall Sunday, or an album to... to what?? As far as I know it is a concept album about the life of Don Henley... Little did I know that as I searched for live footage to add to my myspace profile there have also been a series of videos made for the Getty address album,(or as the YouTube video describes: "the only animated opera about DON HENLEY.") kind of great actually:

Today the first thing they did at work was go around to each effing department and give us all new standardized work-only skype accounts. Gotta love that effing Darth Vader School of Management... as we were all being schooled through the turorial of the new standardized contact system, one scene was plaing on repeat in my head:

"Governor Tarkin: You don't know how hard I found it, signing the order to terminate your life.
Princess Leia: I'm surprised that you had the courage to take the responsibility yourself.
Governor Tarkin: Princess Leia, before your execution, you will join me at a ceremony that will make this battle station operational. No star system will dare oppose the Emperor now.
Princess Leia: The more you tighten your grip, Tarkin, the more star systems will slip through your fingers. "

Post Titled: Wednesday Afternoon Mittagspause Non-fiction.
Post SubTitled: Molested in Translation.

Während mittagspause Dan brought up the issue of translated German titles bestowed upon Amercian television shows, i.e.:

Home Improvement = Hör mal, wer da hämmert ("Listen [to] who's hammering there")

Married... With Children = Eine schrecklich nette Familie("A terribly nice family")

rather than use our brains and memories, we just Googled it and came up with a list online, here are a few of the highlights:

Grey's Anatomy = Die jungen Ärzte ("The young doctors")

on the subject of NOT using your brain- I have been trying to not use my computer so much at home, opting to read instead... honestly, mmh- I recently watched Mike Judge's film "Idiocracy" (starring Luke Wilson) where the main character is put into a hybernation/suspended-animation-like state and wakes up in the year 2505- a time when the average IQ of the United States has dropped to near-retardation. Not a good movie, but a good premise and it actually kind-of scared me. I had read studies a few years ago that suggested that it may not be enough to simply read, but to stay mentally sharp throughout your life you had to challenge your brain- hm... uhm... does surfing the internet challenge my brain? NO. it is informational junkfood. facts and fun little texts - but what the hell am I LEARNING?!? am I even THINKING? hm.
So, I am kind of freaking out about this quietly when Ariel Waldman approves my facebook friend request, which i am very happy about- and I start looking at her friends, I come across PR blogger Brian Solis - whose blog I used to read- and then forgot about because I am overflooded with information and obviously can't keep in all packed in the waitingroom of my brain so I google him since we aren't facebook friends and I can't prowl his facebook profile and and and I find the blog agai easily, check it again to find a April 6th post called: "The Evolution of the News Business - Did the New York Times Miss the Point?" in which the quote: "Yes, we are traveling at light speed and not even realizing just how quickly we're missing everything else around us. It's like the movie Click where Adam Sandler fast-forwarded through his life only to realize that he had missed everything." really smacked me in the face... just lik ecomplaining about being a desk monkey... augh. endless. in order to have a life in which we can afford to "live" we most often have to opt for a life that is no life at all... health care... lunch breaks... paid vacation... grrr. now I am starting to sound like: "choose life." (sorry, I#ll blame the crankiness on the fact that the weather is shite.)

Post Titled: capitalism in europe.
I go to the Video World on Kottbusser Damm, there is a large compact disc polishing/repairing machine behind the counter- I never see it in use, nevertheless they scold me often when they think I may have set the dvd down on a surface other than its protective sleeve/case.
I ask: "hey, you repair scratched cds?"
"no."
"but how much would it cost to repair a scratched cd?"
"we don't do it."
"but how much would you charge to repair one?..."
"we... we don't... the machine is just for cleaning and repairing our own DVDs"
(me thinking: but it is in plain sight, you could earn an extra €50 a day while it just sits there...)
me, shrugging while I get a blank stare: "ok..."

(3 hours later...) this post actually inspired me to write to the head of Video World, Andreas Zachrau, in my very best Kreuzbergisch:

Subject: Video World geschäftsidee vorschlag
Lieber Herr Zachrau,
Ich gehe oft zu Video World am Kottbusser Damm, die mitarbeiter da sind toll und alles ist gut- nür gute erfahrung, ABER ich hab auch gesehen das es gibt eine CD/DVD polieren/reparieren maschine da- und ich hab gefragt ob es möglich um CDs/DVDs dahin zu bringen um die zu reparieren, aber die colleage hat "nein" gesagt, und ich dachte wenn jedes Video World so eine apparat hat, und ich könnte meine beschädigite CDs oder DVDs abgeben (vielleicht €1 oder €2 bezahlen für die Erneuerung-dienst) wann ich eine Film hole und abholen wann ich den Film wieder zurück bringe -das wäre toll, und jedes Video World laden könnte pro Tag viel mehr geld verdienen mit diesem service.
Was denken sie?


hmmm...p.s.
Now that i have written that I relaise that I need to write a follow up message about the extremely-un-erotic sihlouettes on their huge erotic bilboards in the front window... I will foto that. Seriously, it is bad.

Sitting at computers sucks. What the hell am I? A lab monkey? Were we born to spend our prime sitting hunched in front of computers? I know this is a tired argument, but really... really... creeeepy. Clearly I am an idiot for sitting here +40 hours a week... grr.

ANYHOW...Dan sent me some Charlton Heston quotes, he sounds like the white (old) Bill Cosby:

"In a speech to the Free Congress Foundation, he said:

Mainstream America is depending on you—counting on you—to draw your sword and fight for them. These people have precious little time or resources to battle misguided Cinderella attitudes, the fringe propaganda of the homosexual coalition, the feminists who preach that it's a divine duty for women to hate men, blacks who raise a militant fist with one hand while they seek preference with the other, and all the New Age apologists for juvenile crime, who see roving gangs as a means of youthful expression.

In To Be a Man, he writes:

Somewhere in the busy pipeline of public funding is sure to be a demand from a disabled lesbian on welfare that the Metropolitan Opera stage her rap version of Carmen as translated into Ebonics."

(oh, guess I can do that at work...) they tend to fade in and out of my life, mainly because they aren't a band you cna listen too often, so every 2 or 3 years, they phase in and it is good, then they phase out- and that is ok too... last time -interstingly enough- the Joy Dicision phase was triggered by the film 24 hour party people... which is essentially a flipside of Control, both worthwhile.

long conversation with J.Go per phone from NYC last night, at one point we conscuded that we are simply ovewhelmed every day with information. SHe also works in the PR ballpark, but in fashion, and the problem is basically: there is this endless and ever-growing rush, an endless tsunami of information washing over you all the time... so... where I am short-circuiting is that I have more and more difficulty getting a big-picture view... the "big" picture is too big and it doesn't hold still long enough for you to take a mental snapshot...
A woman I interviewed last month said the same: "I'm just exhausted, there is soooo much information out there." Can't process it all. Then Dan sent this article this morning about deaths and health problems bloggers are having...

[17:32:45] er war ein paar stunden unterwegs, ganz leise ducrch den Wald
