In case anyone is interested, sometimes there are good deals on these things:

From Stinkfish, a mural in Oaxaca. Look at his website — I really like his work.
Last night, went to an after party for a photo show at Milk Gallery in Chelsea. Rode the elevator with David Schwimmer, who complimented my "porcelain skin." He is an intentionally goofy dancer. It was fun to watch.
Apparently I got there an hour after Johnny Depp left... le sigh. Not that I would have been able to say words to him or anything.
Afterward we went to 1Oak. A fun Tuesday night.

Why doesn't she shut up???
I have so many problems with this speech. First of all, stop preying on ignorant Americans who are just looking to get angry at something — to blame the Democrat-run government for their problems. (They love big government when Republicans are in office...talk about overreaching, telling women what they can and can't do to their own bodies, telling people who they are allowed to marry). What bothers me is they are blaming Obama for the recession, and for our debt to foreign countries. Maybe Palin was blacked out from all her campaigning in the past years and failed to realize that Bush was in office when the recession started. Hmm not very convenient for her ploy. And in the same speech, saying that Obama is responsible for the unemployment rate--which started to plummet, again, under Bush's administration. All the while cooing over missing Bush.
Also, I love this quote about how someone needs to protect and defend the most vulnerable by supporting pro-life candidates.... Protect them from what?? Is there a secret cult of abortion-happy doctors running around and forcing this procedure on unwilling pregnant women? I bet I just haven't heard about it because of the massive liberal media conspiracy...
Maybe, too, don't pimp out your down-syndrome kid. She claims to be so family-oriented, but even after she stepped down from being a governor, she's still out and about all the time and I don't imagine she's spending any actual time with her special needs child. She's using her choice to birth a special needs child as another reason to completely disallow abortions, but fails to acknowledge that not every woman pregnant with a special needs child has millions of dollars to spend on child care while you're running around the country giving speeches in outfits that cost more than any house I'll ever own. Also, super sensitive mama grizzly chooses to put herself on the national stage when her teenage daughter gets pregnant, subjecting her child to national ridicule. She blames the media, but anyone who couldn't predict them jumping all over this is not smart enough to hold public office. A real strange way of protecting your "cubs," mama grizzly face. Her real priority is fame, not her family.

Some reasons in bold
I think I'm in love with this man...
Rocky Dennis' Farewell Song by Jens Lekman
Blind girl I missed you
I've missed you so much
I've been sending you letters, trying to call you
But I can't seem to get in touch
I bet your mom and dad are scared of me
Or maybe they just care about their daughters
I think back upon summer camp
and I think I want to show you more colors
Here's white, here's black
Here's the color of my heart as it started to crack
Beet red, not blue
I think I'm in love with you
I think I'm in love with you
Blind girl I wish you were here
I wish we'd come closer
I wish you had met my family
My mom and Bulldozer
I think back upon summer camp
On New Year's Eve when we danced
I could sit and watch my life go by
Or I could take a tiny chance
'Cause some day I'll be stuffed in some museum
Scaring little kids
With the inscription carpe diem
Something I never did
But can you remember how we rode shiny horses
And we set courses for the sky and the ocean
And I tried to explain it to you but it was too huge
Blind girl I miss you
Blind girl I miss you
Blind girl I miss you
Also, from "When I Told You I Wanted to Be Your Dog":
Everyday make a fine loaf of bread
And after work just before sunset
You hang down to the city park
There you're alone with the burbs in the dark
And I've seen other people do that too
But they're older than your twenty-two
They lost hope and soon they'll be gone
They'll just vanish with the setting sun
But I know, yes I know,
They're flying within you again,
But I won't let them get you
'Cause you're my only friend
You're my only friend
When I said I wanted to be your dog
I wasn't coming on to you
I just wanted to lick your face
Lick those raindrops from the rainy days
You can take me for a walk in the park
I'll be chasing every single lark
I'll be burying all the skeleton bones
Peeing on every cold black stone
But I know, yes I know,
They're flying within you again,
But I won't let them eat you
'Cause you're my only friend
My friend
My only friend
You're my friend
