Flashmobbers,

The reason all of us thought the flashmob was "spoiled" is because it didn't happen like we planned it. The more spectators I talk to, the more I realize it wasn't spoiled at all.

People walking through the square and surrounding areas had the weirdest 3 minutes of their life. Put yourself in their shoes:

Suddenly retards in skinny pants start yelling stuff through megaphones about freezing that doesn't make any sense (yet), then random tubas and instruments start to play nonsense outside of the HFAC, then a bunch of people around you freeze, while the emo on the bullhorn is yelling "DON'T FREEZE!"

Other things that were happening: ugly girls screaming (sorry to the guy that thought she was hot, she was ugly), people with cameras everywhere, nonsense from the bullhorn people...

It only appears "spoiled" to the people who were planning and hoping for the type of flashmob experience we anticipated.

Future operations won't be this big, or on facebook, so we won't have much of a problem with this in the future.

Kendall

ps, if it was such a "waste of time" to freeze, what justifies taking the time to find a megaphone and stand there yelling?

pps I'll post the vids tomorrow. I need some sleep.

beach house- real love

reading the new york times this morning. came across an article about a 17 yrs. old german novelist [helene hegemann] who was nominated for a prestigious german literary award.

The book [axolotl roadkill] is about a young girl who explores berlin's underground club and drug scene after the death of her mother. the book is currently no. 5 on a german best-sellers list. however, this book has come under criticism by some- inciting blatant plagiarism from a less-well-known book [strobo]

when confronted, she replied:

'THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS ORIGINALITY ANYMORE, JUST AUTHENTICITY'

i've found truth in this statement lately through certain people/media. i like this and will quote it as often as possible. i will tell people that i made it up [via my own plagiarism].

coco avant chanel

'coco avant chanel' @ the dollar theater tonight.

french film. english subtitles. audrey tautou.

the biographical story of the early beginnings of 'coco chanel' [the founder/designer of the fashion empire CHANEL]. ahead of her time, revolutionized the way women dress [should dress] focusing more on:

simplicity. androgyny. lose-fitting hues. modesty.

the story intriguing, yet uneventful. go for the costume/production design.

pluralisms

i've noticed an increasing trend in pop-culture linguistics among kids [via those with whom i associate]

i call it...PLURALISMS. [it's the new 'hella'...trust me]

have i been guilty? of course nots. i remember doing it once [or twice] thinking: this could be cool/funny/newspeak and it felt queer.

a recent conversation [third-party view]:

"so what did you do?"

"first, i took her to the sizzlers cause she loves her some chickens fingers and some countrys fried potatoes"

"...ok, then where did you go next?"

"took her to ikeas, cause she loves to play houses. she's so cute when she smiles..."

"uh...cool. you saw '500 days of summer' then?"

"um, no. never heards about it [a blatant lie to cover embarassment]"

this happened. this is real. don't do it.

New Moon Ritual

the new moon is the birthing cycle of the moon's various phases. the new moon phase is an optimal time for planning and seeding your intentions. it is believed that if one writes down their wishes during the phase change, those wishes will carry immense power in being fulfilled.

my good friend candice is adept in such horoscopy and encouraged me to take advantage of the latest new moon phase change [january 15th 2am-6am]

i've never really been into astrology, but i'm always willing to try new things [hope this works]

the lovely bones

i bought the book [circa 2005] and have been meaning to read it since.

i recently saw the trailer for the peter jackson screen adaptation and have hurriedly been reading the book every night before bed; trying to finish it before it's release [today]

i never have nightmares, but almost every night since i began reading i've been having some intense dreams.

the book has opened up different facets of the human experience that i've never really experienced. it's beautiful.

1984

"we shall meet in the place where there is no darkness"

i finished 1984 today. learned the dangers of totalitarianism [via communism]

"You Americans are so gullible. No you won't accept communism outright, but we will keep feeding you small doses of socialism until you finally wake up and find you already have communism. We won't have to fight you, we'll so weaken your economy 'til you fall like over-ripe fruit into our hands."

-Nikita Khrushchev (1894-1971) Premier of the U.S.S.R.

President Ezra Taft Benson [views on socialism and interview with Khrushchev]

even though the book is an extreme example of totalitarianism and what could happen if [for example] AMERICA evolved into a communist country, i do believe there are some parallels that can be drawn.

i am no radical. i don't believe that we are anywhere near communism. but i do believe that health care reform is one of those 'small doses of socialism' that we are warned of. In the link above (8:45) we are specifically warned of the dangers of socialized medicine.

a government that can promise all, can also take all.
