An Update in Brief Without Prior Reflection

Nuit Blanche

Oh POMO, where would the world be without it? Although I found nuit blanche to be rather artless for a contemporary art thing, I still found it in a way inspiring. I guess it is partly due to the wealth of ideas and creativity oozing from the event, and partly due to the fact that most of those ideas were crappy and I am pretty sure that C.R.A.Y.O.N. would have done a better organizational job. There is also just the idea of staying up all night that appealed to me about this event. Most of you well know that it is a struggle for me to fall asleep most days, and it was nice to feel like staying up all night was a totally healthy and productive thing. But all in all it was sort of lack lustre, nuit beige if you will.

Weather

Today is a beautiful day. It is one of those sunny, but still not hot days that actually makes me enjoy the fall for just a split second. And yet, today's the day they decide to turn the radiators on. I am litterally here in a tank top, window fully open trying to cool off. All week they have been yelling at me with their signs and posters about "Minimizing our evironmental footprint" and my soup is colder than the ambient air tempature in my room.

Autumn

I think the fall sucks. I have always felt this. Metaphorically speaking (or litteraly in my life) the fall is the time for things to die, to be lost. But there are just a few things that salvage the time of year:

-vegetables. Pumpkin Spice Lattes, butternut squash soup.
-textiles. Leather jacket, corduroy pants, amazing fuzzy sweater, argile.

The Waifs

The waifs are an austrailian folk group. Their CD Up all Night is so good that I am too distracted to carry on posting.
