busy is as busy does

A week of work done and gone, lots of time spent travelling (to see the beautiful blonde one, the one who is reaching double figures in 4 days no less)

A bit of Djing, lots of spending of cash and lots of constructive paperwork nonsense at work. hooray.

I had an amusing session with Jen in manchester, brought on muchly by the mischievous moon, which ended in a normally retarded 7.5 hour train journey home and a loss of lucre. Nicely needed and good to spend time with her as a friend. still hurts and is odd but the distance is growing, which I mourn as is befitting. Ah, it should be autumn for such thoughts and digressions, not the premature burgeoning spring that is lurching half formed from the ground.

Although, having said that, I am filled with a curious wandering vagrant bouncy energy at the moment that will no doubt increase as the sun blesses us more, there is trouble and mischief and amusement on the horizon for sure.

I have found a pretty and cool thing.

THING OF THE DAY

'air gets into everything even nothing & get up girl a sun is running the world'

February 1 - April 30, 2007.
Ugo Rondinone.




















An installation from the 'art in the plaza' series by Creative Time.

Fabricated in aluminum and coated in white enamel, the sculptures are cast from trees found in the countryside outside Naples, the hometown of the artist’s parents.
Introducing metallic casts of this ancient tree to Lower Manhattan’s modern metropolis, typically defined by manmade structures of glass and concrete, the artist furthers his investigation of themes of time and displacement, and the relationship between natural and artificial environments. The white trees, weighing a ton each, will complement New York City’s winter landscape, establishing a discourse between the history-laden olive trees and their unusual urban context.




















This I like. For more go here.

You're welcome.
