I went upstate with a few friends. We went to experience things we couldn't experience in the city, such as:

• Going to an art museum;


• Cooking a meal with vegetables bought at a farmer's market;


• Watching lots of YouTube videos ("going down a Y Hole");


• Going to brunch;


• Driving around and looking at things from behind a car window; and


• Thrift store shopping.

Love these.

i'm only telling you that because you usually appreciate it when people do. you're like the only person i know who edits posts. not trying to sound snooty.

trip looks beautiful. and from that one pic-- in spite of all odds-- you appear capable of rockin' that red hat!

(Reply) (Thread)

Thanks! I was only two letters off!

And it's totally appreciated. I do edit posts. BTW, sorry I never commented on your last Top 10. I wrote a big response and the internets ate it. Then I was all fuck it.

I went to Bard once— back in the Winter of 2000-2001. Did you see a huge (like 50 foot long) metal sculpture shaped like a V that you can sit on and rotate with your bodily shifts; I think it sits on something like a lazy susan. I also remember there being a kinda nice stream/small waterfall thing someplace. Also, there's a line in the song "Subterranean Homesick Blues" that comes from Bard— the line about "the vandals took the handles" was written in reference to the missing handle of the water pump at Bard, or so I've been told.

Yeah, it's a cool sculpture. I forget who made it. I took pictures last time I was there, so I didn't bother this time. I know I saw the stream but it was a long time ago - not this trip. Don't remember a waterfall, but I probably just don't remember.

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

Yea, the more i think about it i'm probably making the waterfall part up.

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

I miss fall. The leaves don't change here.

(Reply) (Thread)

Did you see that Onion article about Fall being cancelled?

And congrats on life in general.

I think I'm going back to Goffs (the Mojave desert town I grew up in with the population of 23) for the month of Dec. I need to recharge and all I'll be able to do is walk around and work on comics/art.

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

Do your parents still live there?

Is there internet?

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

I don't think there's internet - not at my dad's place, at least. Maybe dial up? It'll be a hardcore cold turkey month. Then again, my mom has internet, even if it's slow (dial-up), so I'll probably get internet access once a week. (My mom lives in Needles, a town with about 5,000 people, 30 miles away from Goffs.)

my moustache can so hang with yours now. i'm so proud of myself.

Man, once Dec. hits, my shit is going to get out of control.

I like the shot of you guys with the mugs. You look so at ease there. Might want to include that one in your autobiography one day. ;)

Oh, and isn't there just something wonderful about telephone lines against a blue sky? I love that picture.

Glad you had a good weekend!

(Reply) (Thread)

Yeah, it was pretty relaxing.

And telephone lines look like some giant artist was drawing 3-D pen marks against the sky.

that picture where agnes is pretending to be a cat is terrific

(Reply) (Thread)

You mean, pretending to lick a cat?

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

I lol-ed at the text in this.

Also! re: Agnes' outfit. It's so weird to me that colored jeans are back in. I thought everyone agreed that the 80's were awful.

Also-also, you have pretty eyes.

(Reply) (Thread)

Really? From now until the end of fashion, colored jeans belong to the 80s only? All jeans should be blue jeans? Anything that deviates from that formula is in bad taste? Man that's rough. And boring.

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

I approve of jeans in various shades of blue (though the one she's wearing is sort of cartoonish), black, and grey. I'm not saying that PANTS should only be blue, black, grey, but.

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

I think white jeans are acceptable

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

oh God, no.

maybe on Asian girls. in the summer.

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

coincidentally i'm azn and have white jeans (and way too many white pants). what makes me look better in them?

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

body type, skin tone.

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

I sometimes call Agnes "Rainbow Brite." She marches to her own drummer - your petty fashion rules can't hold her, maaan!

And thank you!

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

Those blue pants are hott.
And I think I've got a big schoolgirl crush on the lady inside 'em.
Not cos of the pants.
Cos of the being pretty and cattbutt licks.

(Reply) (Thread)

She's lotsa fun.
