~ always searching for new talent, from the ground publications [w] has uncovered another satirical diaryland gem.

~ bass.

~ any new yorkers – and non-new yorkers – who were present at bryant park for the movie last night can all go to hell.

~ speaking of movies, the ‘akira’ limited edition is released today! if it is already sold out in your town, as it is in mine, try amazon.com [w]. tetsuooooo!!

~ there is still time for american west coasters to make it to the green party marches in protest of the violent repression of anti-globalization demonstrations. links to california actions can be found on the san diego greens website [w]. architects may attend these rallies and still fawn over the uninvested work of ‘global’ heroes rk, hdm, and rnt.

~ so there are protesters already being killed at g8; the angry red planet hereby authorizes open season on cops – genoan or otherwise.

~ from broadway:
   girl1: ‘..next week they are showing ‘rear window’..’
   girl2: ‘..oh! i love that movie! i did an architectural project based on it!..’

   xxxxxxx: ‘please…i just want to download carmaggeddon and i don’t know anything about computers.’

~ i really hope the movie does not look as bad as the first half of the clip with the helicopter, but you can view the ‘spider-man’ movie teasers at jurassicpunk [w]. it is no doubt superfluous to point out that the soundtrack for this marvel movie is crap, since the faithful expect nothing else.

~ well, of course, the kids outside must be celebrating bastille day. we possibly just heard cheers of ‘libterté! égalité! fraternité!’

~ it’s 4am. are the kids down the street going to run out of firecrackers anytime soon?…

~ wandering towards a horrible proustian experience at central park – where we were to be subjected not only to the music of pop hack leonard bernstein, but also to uncouth behavior of every new yorker who has ever abandoned their trash on public ground or drunkenly and boisterously copulated also on public ground – our library had the benefit of a score from an upper west side trash can: first editions of ‘complexity and contradiction in architecture’ and ‘the international style’.

~ hot damn, ‘akira’ special edition is released on dvd on july 24th! you can already order it at amazon [w].
