We are not the colonialists we used to be.

Hare kṛṣṇa. This one's for science.

Aquarium

The shapes of us standing in front of the aquarium make us more human
By the contrasts of light and biology
I can only see your form, your silhouette
And by the sharks it is a most welcome sight

"Anytime, anyplace, adventure always awaits." Pt. 1

I think I'm going to take this time to talk about some amazing places in LA that I found in my adventures thats worth checking out, or places that are not so amazing but still worth checking out.

1- The Geologic "Center" of Los Angeles cir. 1990
To get there, I'll take you from the corner of Venture blvd. and Coldwater Canyon blvd. in the San Fernando Valley, from that corner head southbound into the hills, keep driving through Coldwater Cyn until you reach the intersection of Coldwater and Franklin Canyon Dr. and turn right. Drive down that street  and you'll reach the Franklin Canyon Resevoir. When you get to the first stop sign in the park (really stop, theres a camera) turn left into the parking lot. At the parking lot, head in this direction on foot:

The rest of the instructions you can find here in this website: http://laist.com/2008/07/15/eureka_i_have_f.php

I happened to just stumble by it and its still there. Its marked by a plaque, this is what it looks like.

2- The Museum of Jurassic Technology
I'm not sure yet exactly what this is, I passed by it on my way to the Hare Krishna temple in Culver city, but it sounds promising. Here is the link: http://www.mjt.org/

3- Cosmopolitan Books
My new favorite book store; cramped, claustrophobic, books-to-the-ceiling, musty, dusty, and dangerously combustible, you may not find exactly what your looking for, but you can try, and along the way you'll definitely find many other books that your going to want to get.

I'll put more up later as I come by them or remember.

Writing Books For Karen O

Its agreed that...

The mind is a reiver and the cleaver a bridge,

But if cleavers make canyons why did mine make a ditch?

Don’t try to talk slowly, was the one thing I learnt
I’m smarter, but whats harder, not what’s inside her shirt

Yeah I am sorry, but you can't have a look
And do you know how hard it is to write a whole fucking book?
Well I am hungry because being full is wrong
The carrots taste worse as you eat it along
So, shit...

Back? Well that cracks for me

And he's such an art star!

He can’t tell the difference between a book
And the 'going postal' scene

For lunch there is Thanatos, not lest

He’s such a fucking Godot-esque

Man, it’s funny but it’s true

Existentialists can only serve you so far

Wait, what? But yeah though, I didn't hear
And that year! And that hair! And that air!
I'm starting to sound like a teenager
But fuck me if I stop to care

And would my asshole friends act the same?

Playing gone/there games

When he meant sexism and in all honesty

He probably did.

Like those people that believe Darwin was wrong,

But not for religious reasons.

And now I don't feel so good.

Animals, animals, and animals, and animals.

Making flyers, this one is going to be a collage.

I like to use Ernst Haeckel's work actually for a lot of it and for a few reasons:

(1) I love the style, its reminicent of old museums and biology books which I love.

(2) Its public domain, all of it, so its all online and easy to access with no concerns about copyrights.

(3) Its large, highly detailed, and easy to cut up.

I know he's a racist douche, but his art is still great, so it seems only fair that eveyone has unrestricted access to his work. Maybe this will be his way of giving back for his codswallop theories about "polygenism".
