Let’s all start out this Friday with the beautiful new Morrissey video for “Ganglord”, directed by Dennis Roberts and filmed at Evergreen Cemetery in Boyle Heights, Los Angeles. (Evergreen, which is one of LA’s oldest cemeteries, has an interesting history.)
I love this song—lyrically, musically, and now visually. Well done.
Millet Cinnamon Bread from Sami’s Bakery, coffee with soy milk, place mat from Chilewich.
Evan is sitting across the table, looking dapper.
I have shiny black nails and a giant, green ring. And a clock from IKEA.
I apologize for how quiet it’s been around here lately. Work has been particularly grueling this season, and I’m left so drained at the end of the day that I don’t have the motivation to assemble quality posts. Spring is coming, though.
I’ve often thought that I’d like to be able to see New York City through the eyes of a tourist. I suppose this is probably the case with every city, but the longer a place is part of your everyday life, the less you tend to observe in your surroundings. This is especially true in “vertical” cities where above-ground traveling is primarily done on foot. Who remembers to look up? Tourists, that’s who.
So when Evan and I went to MoMA (something I do embarrassingly infrequently), I tried to pretend I was a tourist. I wasn’t really successful, but I did manage to get over my fear of looking like a dork (um, I look like a dork no matter what, so I might as well do it with a camera in my hands) and take a few pictures.
