Donkey PUnched



There's so many things happening around us right now it's hard to keep it all straight. This is going to be a very link heavy post, I can feel it already.


Green egg!


Speckled egg!


Mocha egg!


Weirdly unequal twins! Forgive me, I just finished reading Animal, Vegetable, Miracle for the third time.


Trying to jazz myself up for another stab at gardening


which is now covered in weeds instead of snow.


So much copulation in the air. On the heels of seeing "My Sweet, Sweet...." there is also this show to consider.


Stuart Horodner curated for Haverford College and included the controversy-stirring David Wojnarowicz and Andres Serrano among others and more locally Forest McMullin and Larry Jens Anderson (both of whom are also currently on view at the Dalton Gallery)


not to mention Nancy VanDevender who did an awesome wallpaper based on bathroom graffiti found on the college campus. You really should check this out.


Taken from the show brochure: "Sex Drive asks us to consider the conventions that govern sexuality, as well as its unruly power."


There is also this interesting addenda "The Google Blacklist" of words that Google refuses to autocomplete for you in the search field.


Lots of them. 2600! All kinds of delightful topics like double donG, goodpoOp, bEaver clEaver, electrotorTure, tentacLe (eh?), or, even more oddly, happy slapping Video. I feel like this is solid material for an experimental poetry reading.

I had to google a few myself, like shrimpinG isn't nearly as dirty as one may imagine.


Others are best left a mystery. Oh America! Land of the free!


Davendra warming up for spring.


He told me about another term involving the word omelet but it didn't seem to have made the list.


All this dirty talk.


It's time for a brief musical interlude.


Went to Starbar


and saw Reptar play.


Those guys were all goodviBes


got us drunk and vibratoRing.


Since when is taiNted love more than just a depressing and often covered song?


Back to the topics of censorship and David Wojnarowicz (how long before google blacklists his name?) Emory held a screening and panel discussion for "A Fire in my Belly" in response to the National Portrait Gallery ball gaGing artists and removing the video from their show "Hide/Seek: Difference and Desire in American Portraiture".



Here is what I think is the full 20+ minute version. Watch what those cornhOles got all jizZed up and honkeY over when they whipped out the chastity bElt.



This is the 4 minute version removed from The National pole sMoking Gallery.



Here's Wojnarowicz talking some wanKing sense.

And even better is this ball kiCking statement by the show curator, Jonathan Katz. It's really worth reading.
