The only problem is if you make cool friends at a party and they're wearing wigs, it's hard to recognize them later in public when they do not have a green bob or somesuch.

I recently told a friend that if there's one thing that reminds me of being 12 years old, it's strawberry bubblegum. Do they still make Bubblicious strawberry bubblegum? I don't chew it anymore, obviously but if I had any of that I would totally feel 12 again.

I like the slappy slappy noises the paint makes when it goes on the wall, and the squishy feel of the paint on the brush. It's much more sensual than drawing, painting is. It makes me happy.

Violent In Design (Masonic Boom), Sunday, 28 June 2009 07:31 (fifteen years ago)

i draw heh. painting overwhelms me, i just can't get my head around how one makes what they want to see with all that (i know that's not the type of painting you're necessarily describing, but for example), the same way someone being able to direct or light a film just mystifies me.

is juiceless??? (tremendoid), Sunday, 28 June 2009 07:40 (fifteen years ago)

I'm not normally a painter at all, I usually draw or do computer graphics (lots of photoshop airbrushing) so painting is a bit weird and a bit frightening and there's no eraser or ctrl-z so it's a bit scary. But the physicality of it is fun. It's getting past the fear barrier to make such huge marks.

I don't know what I'll do if I ever have to sell this house.

Violent In Design (Masonic Boom), Sunday, 28 June 2009 07:46 (fifteen years ago)

I keep finding references to a Tesla museum in Colorado Springs when I search, but no website for it.

That Colorado Springs museum went bankrupt in 1999 along with the International Tesla Society organization that was keeping it afloat. I visited it in 1992 and it was a pretty ramshackle affair, but with a definite charm. If anything it was more of a junkyard clubhouse for free energy/perpetual motion fanatics, conspiracy theorists, and other Enlightened Deviants who were all charged up by the mainstreaming of fringe culture. Every couple of minutes someone would fire up a Tesla coil and the lights inside would dim. Someone would hand you a fluorescent bulb and it would light up. Cool place...

Tiny aviation museums that are nothing much more than a "Glenn Curtiss Slept Here" sign and a pile of junk airplanes in back
Any nature documentary that shows a bear diving for fish in a river.
Pad Thai with shrimp
Looking at old pictures/movies of Los Angeles and recognizing where it was filmed (and what buildings are still left)
Current season of Burn Notice
Noticing that a car is driving better after you spent the afternoon working on it.

I like Turkish food for the same reason I like painting - lots of sloppy wet stuff you scoop up with a paintbrush/pide bread and try to get on the wall/in your mouth. I've just discovered this stuff called Ajvar (spelling?) which is, like, SULTAN of sandwich spreads. Except it's more fun to just try and dip the pide in the jar. I will just start upending it over my mouth soon. FUN FUN FUN.
