Guerrilla Gourmet

i started a new gourmet kind of like Maria's except mine is called ghetto gourmet and this is how it works. you invite me to your house for tea, or a coffee if you can make a latté machiatto the way they do in germany. but then i say "i'm hungry" and you say "hmmm" and then i say "actually, i'm really hungry. don't you have anything to eat?" and since you're hosting, and i'm not, you oblige to cook me something but i say "better make it gourmet. i don't want beans straight up or anything like that. get gourmet on it, alright? put capers in it, maybe? or sprinkle fresh herbs on top. but if you really want to impress me, it not only has to look good, it better taste incredible?" and then i smile my wicked smile and you can't resist and while you're cooking up a feast i tell you that "you're my best friend ever" and "i'm going out for a cigarette, but yo, what do you got for dessert?" your jaw drops, but i don't see it drop, i'm half way outside, smoke dangling.

serious enquiries only.

Skateboarding

I learned from a good source yesterday that, supposedly, Art|Basel| Miami Beach version 2007 will feature a skateboard park on Miami Beach designed and artified by Ryan McGinness, supposedly... and then I get the above video linked to me in email today, from millo... Geoff McFetridge gets us in the mood. I'm not a huge fan of Geoff's, but that video is capital L Lovely. My favourite part is when the pupilless iris falls out of the eye. That's smart.

Genius of Love

"Fun, natural, fun." - Tom Tom Club

The video edits out a verse from the original, oft sampled, song:

All the weekend
Boyfriend was missing
I surely miss him
The way he'd hold me in his warm arms
We went insane when we took cocaine.

Big thanks to Zoe for hipping me to this.
