DISQUS

Things just...happened. I love that line. "why did you hit your brother in the eye?" "It just happened". Of course the unscripted free form that makes up a life is also something that just happens... So what the hell do I know?

Those are soooo cool! ...and so is the story of their history!

Thanks for the tips. I'll try them outside in the open air...

Those are really cool. I don't know what's going on here because even when I type a comment the letters are all funny little boxes. Hmmm... Is there a magic decoder ring I'm missing or something?

I had to have the content of this post forwarded to me via e-mail from somebody else, because my work browser just isn't seeing it right.

I'm weird like you in this way, anyway. I was driving through a "bad" part of Houston years ago (of course it was just a predominantly Black neighborhood: not bad), when I saw a recently cleared lot with a heap of over 50 TVs, none of them working. At the time I was making sculptures out of TVs. I stopped and rooted around in them, picking out pretty chassis. Some old guys from next door came over and talked to me. I may have been wearing a dress? It had rained so there was dried mud caked in the open ones, and I was banging them together to loosen the dirt (without the tubes in them). I was grinning and trying to explain to them how happy I was to find these broken, dirty, old TVs. They laughed. I think they were laughing at me not with me.

I recommend dumpster diving near department stores, if there's access. I used to find lots of acrylic and chrome display stuff that I never knew what to do with, but it sure was pretty.

Yes, more pictures please.

i used to go to the mall dumpsters, those were the best, though i would generally focus on the lenscrafters dumpster while chris would wander around hitting the electronics & whatnot. i think they put the dumpsters behind locked gates now. which is rather sad when you think about it, stuff bound for the landfill & they make good & sure it's going to get there.

The Georgia is new, right? Georgia is my favorite. except for , then I opt for Lucida. Georgia and Lucida. The girls.

liz · 6 years ago

i was all lucida console on the last one (but that was after a long period of georgia) & now i'm georgia & verdana both, there's actually a pattern to it but i don't have it all worked out yet. but it's on purpose, the serif/sans serif living together. see, if you link something the link is sans-serif. which i think looks cool. however i am weird.

You are too mad for words! The "most deviant of all" sculpture looks to have been a bong at some point. But you didn't hear that from me.

I think I tried the serif/sans serif text/link thing before. Must go back; tres cool. You definitely have a knack for this.
