I trust you with my heart
It finds you in log cabins and snow covered mountains
Its in the freshly played french scores upon your piano
It speaks to you in limyrics and silly poems like this
It remembers your purple summer dress worn before ocean sunsets on eastern islands
And it plays you the songs that made me so, when your day was mine

So too have you trusted me with your heart
Your heart sits in a red painted box near my bed
Its in the likeness of our goddess in black pencil stokes
And held in place by a big red frame I found; the perfect fit
It beats in the sweet creature purring in my lap
And its in the tears spent praying to Saint Elliot in our church of the immaculate guitar

love
-- Andrew

I told my friend about the cute Korean stewertesses that often meet in the Hilton Hotel lobby where I work, and she said that I should get a shot of them so that she could create an outfit like that, so i charged my self with a mission to find pics of KoreanAir stewertesses. Here are the results:

some things that spoil my loneliness in my apartment: a box of cinnamon life in the cupboard, a kitten calendar in the kitchen ending in December 2006, Joel and the bots in the office, yorke and bjork in the living room, a colored glowing lamp in the bedroom, and a cute little kitten following me into each room

I volunteered to work today and I'm glad I did. It was really slow so I had time to myself. I ended up spending most of the time studying about photography. Moslty i read from A Tedious Explanation of the f/stop and
A Short Course in Suing Your Digital Camera. What got me into the study was the discovery of HDR (High Dynamic Range) photography: here's some exmaples, and here is an explaination. Images created with this techniq are some of the most fantacular you've ever seen. Anyways that's what I did at work today.

It was the last show on our tour--what a beautiful performance. Set in a white room on a white bed, lit by only candles and a colored light that shown on the walls. Countless curtain calls and a sweet, tear wrenching encore. Now she's off to begin a new tour. Ohh...the life of an artist.

Show: Music around the edges
Time: THURSDAY 7 - 8 pm "The Short Show"
DJ: Rich Bones
Radio Station: WVEW 107.7lp FM (Brattleboro, VT)

A team of American and British researchers has made a cloak of invisibility. Well, OK, it's not perfect. Yet. But it's a start, and it did a pretty good job of hiding a copper cylinder.

I've decided that more than anything, what I really need is a life size poster of Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter in they're robot costumes.

Here are two movies I watched last night over home-cooked lasagna and fresh olive loaf:

Donnie Darko is a dark narrative that you should just watch with out learning anything more about the movie.

The Notorious Betty Page is a pleasant period piece, filmed in part black-and-white live action and stock footage and part color. It follows her life in beautiful story book fashion.

Geeks, artists, scientists lend me your ear: science fiction has become reality in this amazing new interface. I was floored to see this thing in action. Check it out:

Three engineering students from Cambridge University plan to send an unmanned craft into space for £1,000 ($1,880) and have just sent a test mission up 32 km for a lot less. Their snaps from the upper atmosphere are impressive, and were taken by a balloon equipped with off-the-shelf technology including GSM text messaging, radio communications, and an ordinary 5-megapixel camera. They now plan to use a similar craft as a launching stage to get a cheap rocket into space.

I like how looking at sheet music makes me feel holey--as if these symbols and patterns had always existed. The mathematics behind this western creation HAVE always existed and that theory is beatiful as well. Even for those that can't understatnd it, there is reverence for it. Still there is this ora, even if the subject is objectionable--the form is golden. Equally fun is the act of ignoring whats written and playing what ever comes natural--random, break out of what you've been taught. Always there is this struggle for those who worship in both schools of thought.

Nouvelles Vagues on they're north american tour in September. They will be playing in Atlanta at the Variety Playhouse on Thursday September 21st.

Also Peaches is playing in Atlanta at the Variety Playhouse on Thursday July 27th.

Let my life be like a Reading Rainbow (I know your playing that song in your head, you see the butterfly flying around and your're thinking of Levar Burton); Or maybe I should learn to use a whip and seek rare antiquites like Indiana Jones--he reminds me of my father--I haven't embarked on a wilderness adventures of late. I have a strong desire to battle my way to the top of a high alpine mountain, enjoy the isolation and solidute--read and write as much as my pressure ladden cranium can produce (high elevation really does make you euphoric) and then run down and reutrn to meager shelter where I will eat like a king. Even further from reality is to be like one of the Droogs from Clockwork Orange working in a gang of pranksters. BTW: here's an interpretation of this gang of mayhem that lacks style. See now I got the hat for it (I love bolwer hats:)) My british accent needs work though. Equally respectable is jumping headlong into an obsession of knowledge. Choose from shakespear, German myths, cyberpunk, english poetry, french poetry. Its like total emersion--like a new religion. The time is now. Life is running out.
