My First Omelet

Okay, maybe not, I might have tried it 10 years ago or something but if there was a last time it didn't work out, otherwise I would've been making omelets.

It looked pretty good. I was using a brand new non-stick pan so that made flipping it pretty easy. How did it taste? It was all right, good for a first try. Not quite done enough in the middle.

Still Love Longo

I've dug Robert Longo's work since I saw an exhibition in the early Nineties. So much of his imagery is so powerful. He's probably best known for his "Men in the Cities" pieces which are life size charcoal drawing of men and women in business attire each in the midst of some tremendous bodily movement. Are they dancing? Falling? Were they shot? The lack of any spatial context makes the question unanswerable.

I assumed that since he made Johnny Mnemonic he would have "gone Hollywood" given up on his art but after seeing these charcoal drawings, "Monsters," from a couple of years ago, I decree he's still got It.

(Yeah, okay, they're not "Photos" but I don't want to keep making new categories.)

... Naturally

I'm living the bachelor life again which pretty much sucks. The cat didn't even sleep on the bed so he knows something's not right. So it's amidst this cheerful attitude that I pour myself a bowl of Cheerios and discover there's no milk! Left with just my OJ, I browsed for a while then went back in the kitchen to find the bowl of Cheerios still sitting there. Am I just projecting my current attitude or is there something really lonely about a bowl of dry Cheerios sitting on the counter?
