Rirkrit Tiravanija I AM BUSY beach towel

If you are feeling antisocial and want everybody to know it, one of these items should do the trick.

I recently changed my screensaver at work to the I AM BUSY image, and it made me laugh. Of course I had to remove it immediately. SIGH.

Sometimes I display antisocial/inappropriate behavior.   At work we recently had nightmarish internet/computer/alarm issues that I was stuck dealing with.  I was on the phone with an IT dude trying to resolve the issues when my boss interrupted me and asked me what was going on.  My response to that obnoxious question?  I told him to GET OUT.  GET OUT, even though you are the boss and you pay the rent and my salary.  GET OUT unless you want to take over and deal with this shit.  Lol.  I CANNOT STAND being interrupted when I am stressed and/or when I am talking on the phone to another person.  Fuck OFF.

Speaking of GET OUT, one time my landlord and I got into a shouting match (after she refused to reimburse me for a plumbing expense) and I told her to  GET OUT. Of her own apartment.  Lol. She could not believe my audacity.  But you know what?  SHE LEFT!  And it was a good thing she did as I was about ready to clock her. 

If you have any antisocial stories, please share.  Entertain us!  :)

Arthur Tress: San Francisco 1964

In the summer of 1964, San Francisco was ground zero for an historic culture clash as the site of the 28th Republican National Convention and launch of the Beatles’ first North American tour. In the midst of the excitement, a young photographer new to the city was snapping pictures not of the politicians or musicians but of the people in the crowds and on the streets. Arthur Tress, an accomplished American photographer, made more than nine hundred negatives in San Francisco during the spring and summer of 1964—among his earliest documentary work. Exulting in juxtapositions of the mundane and the absurd, Tress captured the chaos of civil rights demonstrations and political rallies, the idiosyncratic moments of San Francisco’s locals, the peculiar contents of shop windows, a miscellany of odd signs and much more.

Tress developed and printed his black-and-white negatives in a communal darkroom in the city’s Castro district before departing San Francisco in the fall of 1964. The vintage prints were packed away in his sister’s house, coming to light again only in 2009. The rediscovery of this forgotten body of work inspired the photographer to revisit his early negatives, and Arthur Tress: San Francisco 1964 is the delightful outcome.

The Host

Thoughts on TV hosts?  Do you have a favorite?  I love a few of them, I LOATHE many, and I guess I couldn't care less about the rest of them.  

Today I received an email to telling me I could pay $99 to attend a month-long class that would teach me how to "break into TV" and become a TV host.  HA!  No amount of training would make me a good TV host.  Do you think you could do it?
