Frozen
Aside from looking slightly like a creepy scene from “The Happening” (which was awful, btw…Marky Mark, wtf?), this clip of 200+ people frozen in Grand Central station is pretty darn cool.

Oh hey, eyeglass piercings. What a great way to inevitably rip some skin off your face.
Just thinking about the possibility of bumping them on something makes me break out into a cold sweat. *shudder*

The bees’ knees
I’m not going to lie. I like a little creepy with my cute. A little bizarreness to take the saccharine out of it. A little slap with my tickle.
Tessa Farmer describes her work as ‘a tool to realise imaginative possibilities that might otherwise linger unseen, just beneath the surface’. The tiny fairies and hell’s angels she creates from plant and tree roots owe their scale to the insect wings which sprout from their backs. Although Farmer declares that they are growing smaller still! Farmer presents herself the conjurer of, rather than the maker, of these ‘creatures’ examining their behavior and evolution. ‘A bid to reignite childlike curiosity has witnessed the emergence of a species of miniature skeletal creatures resembling the human form’. The new works will continue to investigate this fictional world where the behaviour of these fairies becomes increasing sinister as they mutate, mimic and torture the insects around them. Most recently she has observed their use of bird and animal bones to create flying vessels that facilitate their reign of terror. These creatures acknowledge the nastier side of childhood imagination, the antithesis of the Victorian notions of fantasy they seem to emulate.
I wonder if this is where David Sedaris got the idea to dress up dried bees in tinfoil suits of armor.

Oowee, it has been a while
So it only took me until May to come out of my winter hibernation (a.k.a passed out on the couch), but I promise to start giving a shit about things again, k?
In November 2007, London robbers attacked a 15 year old boy, leaving a 5 inch knife in his skull. He was rushed to the hospital where surgeons were able to remove the knife. Somehow the knife managed to miss his brain, but after looking at the x-rays I’m not sure how. The boy not only survived the attack and subsequent surgery, he recently enrolled in collge. Amazing.
