I FLEW RIGHT SMACK INTO THE CUKOU'S NEST
“One Flew Over the Cuckou’s Nest” is a perfect example of the power of one person’s belief in another, or in this case, a group of mental patients. Just takes one exuberant person to believe in the underdog, who might never know they have the capability to see or feel that way. The nurse is always playing by the rules, even when reason could trump the rules to bring much...
Woody Allen’s “Purple Rose of Cairo” so beautifully illustrates this notion of flight to fantasy that people sought out during The Depression, the stark contrast between the big glamour on screen and the real world that Mia Farrow’s character lives in. And it’s so much more than just that era, just that time and place- it illustrates the modern world, amusement...
PS

I hope you went with the lampshade
My father is asleep by the fire. The tv is blaring a choir singing christmas carols in Minnesota. I have a robe on, the dogs at my feet. Made scrod with capers tonight.
Joyeux noel, joyeux noel, here’s to adventures and being heroic in all things in life even the smallest of things

You have every right to be paranoid, angry. They are watching you. You are part of their scheme now. You are not oblivious. You are well aware.
In the words of Banksy, “They are The Advertisers and they are laughing at you” (Banksy 31).
Mr. Brainwash is just as bad as his name. I knew from the very beginning of the film that there was something amiss. He just annoyed me. He has vacant, beady eyes, and his energy is all frenetic ego, no soul. His art feels manufactured, tasteless, and shallow. He does not educate and instead fools people into believing the hype, which is all surface value. He crushes art with a greedy little foot,...
A friend of mine was telling me a story the other day about how she smoked some really potent weed before getting on the plane and how she was freaking out the whole time about the consumerism everywhere she looked. The billboards on the way to the airport, the signs when she got the airport, the stores and restaurants, and then even on the plane, when she sat down, the first thing she saw was a...
Je suis d’accord….. quelquefois j’essai de trouver les bonnes choses dans les choses qui me fait deprimees.. Mais en realite, j’en ai marre de tout ca. J’aime bien le Suedois. J’adore comment ils disent “bananas” en Suedois. C’est trop mignon. Je viens de regarder un film qui s’appelle “Mitt liv som hund.”
“Corporate media control nearly everything we read, or hear. It imposes a bland uniformity of opinion. It diverts us with trivia and celebrity gossip. …In classical totalitarian regimes … economics was subordinate to politics.” In America, economics is dominant.”

I don’t understand anything.
Manicured hair, manicured lawns. The leaf-blowers are non-stop. If it’s not two or three leaf-blowers at the same time that sound like chainsaws, it’s a motorcycle or a jet-ski or a helicopter or a plane. I can’t take all of this manicured, diesel, noisy land. Why can’t they use a...
HAIR RELAXER
Sodium hydroxide is used to “relax” black women’s hair. It is highly toxic and burns the scalp, most black women in USA use this, a multi -billion business for black women to have a more “european” look, to make white people feel more relaxed around them……
Chris Rock’s documentary “Good Hair” is really interesting and troubling-to see...
NPR story about Goodwill: “They’re really trying to make as much money as they can to provide job training for the disabled and disadvantaged.”
snow
snowing, blowing on-island. My head needs to settle some, been feeling too stretched and spun around in too many directions. The ice is breaking some and there is foam in my mouth, the bird woke late and the roads were slush-filled.
My right foot sore from the high heels I wore the other night and i threw a tantrum in the basement because there were no winter boots, mother sold them off at...
