top ten people i danced w. tonite:
a) alison from kitchner, (three dances) and her talk of scouting, newmarket, small towns, and the like
b) the gentleman who grew up in timmins, who wore the retro ironic purple tux w. velvet lapels, he was tender and generous...we talked about shania twain
c) alex from toronto, who works in oise with homeless queer youth, and had the white shirt, black tie, and perfect faux hawk of baby butch dyke glory.
d) charles, bald head, smelled like basalm pine, who moves earth works in brampton
e) the black women who works as a teacher for angry kids on the east side, with her perfect soft, loose, misha bruggermanesque afro
f) the v. awkard and v. sweet writer formerly of eye, in the oatmeal coloured sweatervest.
g) alex from mariselles, who smelt of strong cigarettes, sweat, and sweet spicy cologne
h) the woman who was wearing a 70s nightgown of acetate adn rayon, which i described as sissy spaecek in a robert altman film ca 1970
i) the girlfriend of the v. short, and v. butch boy who told me another time twice kindly, and who i never danced with
j) leo.
corrected all the problems with the lds dances of my youth, and missed the hard cock pushing against warm cotton, but the amazing thing about dancing with boys, is that at least twice, close and hot together, even thru ages of material, cocks touch---there was so much other things going on, grace, tenderness, sweetness, openness, affection, touch, devotion to the idea of growing community, humour, and even some tension--but there must be a french word for the erotic nostalgia for an event that you wanted to occur at 14 but happened at 30.

15 american american poems that convinced DC Cooper not to write like Rimbaud, including a beautiful one by Schyuler that is this great space where he learns h is own voice and splits from o hara like skin on hot vinyl, one by tate i have never seen before, and an o hara with maybe my favourite of his opening lines:

I want to add one thing that relates to the question of people asking, “Why did he take that picture?” It has to do with impact. I’ve told the story before of going to a symposium at the International Center of Photography with Jay Maisel and Jay telling me that the problem with my pictures is that they don’t have impact. He then proceeded to show slides to the group gathered there. He put on a tray of slides and had them changed at five-second intervals. Each time a new photograph appeared, the audience went “Ah!” And before they could finish their “AH!” or their “Ooh!” the next picture was there. Evidently, he was interested in the first five seconds of a person’s reaction to a photograph. My hunch is that people who ask, “Why did Stephen Shore take that picture?” are people used to seeing photographs that are high in initial impact. And my view is very different. The first five seconds aren’t as important to me.

From Mulroney's a/bio:
...Preston Manning and his supporters spread venom about us and ate into our base in western Canada... (744)
..."I am v. confident about Canada's future because the Bloc Quebecois and REform Party are cut from the same cloth" I said one Wednesday in April. "They're incapable of taking a broad, generous view of Canada. They both view language as an instrument of division rather then an instrument of unity. Yes, apperaences are bleak. People are upset, crabby, self-centred, selfish. Of course they blame politicans and never themslves. It;s now our job to get Canadians off the pyscharists couh and back to reality..." (846-7)
John Crosbie gave me his own characteristically blunt views on reform in his annual letter to me in Dec. 1990: "Generally speaking, in WEstern Canada, our problem is the REform party. The problem in the west is not western al ienaiton so much as it is western lallucination. Our progress in deficit reduction and in other areas that appeal to those of a conserative na ture has to be gotten across and the reform parrt has to be confornted... (811)

slovenian gay bar firebombed with molotov cocktail.
US Supreme Court allows for the possiblity that the pope would be required to testify in sex abuse cases that occured w/i the US--not going to happen, but it dos suggest that the us supreme court is not as enamoured with religious power as it once was.
some of the g20 weapons were intended for larp sessions.
one of the biggest problems with the idea of pwa living longer, is that the health structures designed to help with a disease that started as an emergency are not equipped to budget for a disease that is now chronic--americans dealing with the funding here are struggling with this, and some advocates say the funding crunch is as bad as the regan years.
great balderessai work, that allows people to rearrange the elements of Abraham van Beyeren's Banquet STill Life--an overloaded peice of dutch merchant excesses--it is a riff on his 2001 peice where he projected the work on an emptry frame. this time, not only can people rearrange it via their iphone. link to the show that features the app, which you can also do on yr desktop and then save it to yr favourite social media. ,its horribly fun, says alot about the nature of democracy and image creation, plus digitial culture. kind of love this.
I am so excited by Tilda's turn as a sensous italian matriach in I Am Love.
this grid house in sau paulo, reminds me of the light/hill/water glass walled thrusting that marks the best of LA modernism.
aaron pederson's churchill sqaure project is really sweet, and it has a clarity that is the exact opposite of clever. he claims that he is like avedon, but moving outside in and not the other way, and i kind of sort of see it.
wilfired van winden's hotel inntell is a few dozen dutch town houses, in traditional colours, stacked up in a vague cube shape.
Ruscha, on how he decides to photograph, make prints, or paints, via crown point press.
jesuits are doing that liberal thing again, this time calling gay and lesbians catholic, saying that they are part of the universal aspect of the church.
though its amazingly crude this segment of Louis CK's new sitcom about homophobia, and gay sexual culture...Rick Colm's Ray is pretty awesome.
charles burchfield review by hollond cotter...looks like a great revival of a under rated american visionary. schedjeal's review of the show in the new yorker this week talks a little more about the history.
best use of those awful bronze dolphin sculptures, this time in vancouver, perhpas ever
half letter press does great low cost, high concept, artist books--this one is a life size poster of a section of a 7-11 wall.
beautiful difficult story, about growing up transgendered in the west, esp. among cowboys, esp. in a christian context.
DJ Earworm makes the feel good hit of the summer.
Rev Kevin Gray a conneticut catholic priest, embezelled 1.3m from his parish to pay for hotel rooms, clothing, meals, and sex from rent boys.
wired feature on AA how it works, and how no one has any real idea.
dwell patterns from heath cermaics.
10 outtakes from Johnny Cash's American recordings.

Casting Aspersions
As someone who has recently self-diagnosed as having Asperger’s, I found Kim Pittaway’s “Confidence Game” (May) quite upsetting.
I have spent the better part of my life trying to figure out why I am so different from almost everyone I meet. Psychiatrists have mislabelled me add, ocd, or “physiologically and emotionally hypersensitive, eccentric, and ego-centric enough that the eccentricity doesn’t bother you, but otherwise fine” — an actual quote, and basically a diagnosis of Asperger’s. When I finally came across the Wikipedia page on the disorder, it was like finding the Holy Grail, and I immediately took steps to have an official diagnosis performed. After all that work, to be lumped in with con artists was quite frustrating — another perfect example of neurotypicals misunderstanding us.
I take particular exception to the placement of Anthony Easton’s comment that some Aspies “have no social skills because [they] fucking play fourteen hours of World of Warcraft a day.” It’s not what Easton is saying that upsets me; spending this much time on one pursuit is characteristic of Asperger’s, after all. Rather, I object to the way Pittaway used this quote to support the idea that a self-diagnosis is a cop-out.
But the article’s conclusion — “Just because you’re Aspie doesn’t mean you’re not an asshole,” also care of Easton — took the cake. Many Aspies have been so persecuted that they have given up on trying to integrate into society. Does this make them assholes? All in all, the piece was a sensationalist, misleading piece of crap. I am appalled that you published it, and you should be ashamed.

- gospel as logocentric, so any attempts to translate that tendency--to other kinds of text.
- these tects include flesh---one of the goals of xianity is to mediate b/w flesh and the word
- this requires an awareness of the word, and not only yr flesh, but the flesh of other members of the body of christ
- ministry then becomes this mediating, has a triune formulae, know the text, connect that text to yr flesh, connect yr flesh and the texts to others
- this class then, functioned as another way of recognizing how this could work, but also how it failed to work.
canada--that loosest of confederations, who is mostly defined by an intricate set of resentments, half agreed to comprmises, and failed conslidations, and who was born from one empire, and become tethered to another...and yet, in the midst all of at, kind of sort of functions most days...today, i will remember the execution of Louis Riel, the Red River Rebellion, the Winnipeg General Strike, the Chinese Head Tax, WWII internment camps, the Resdential schools, the Komagata Maru, the bullying of Newfoundland, the copper disks, numbered and not named on Inuit's in Nunuvat, and last week...today, i will remember the kindess to charles ord, Lester B Pearson's work with the UN, the Hutterites moving north after the Dakotas german racism, Tommy Douglas and that peculiar Saskatchwan socialism, that Nunvat is now the largest Indigenous land claim settlement in the world,the fairly open borders in the last 25 years, that Mulroney did not manage to completely dismantle our saftey network, and that we keep trying to remember and to seek forgiveness. Pray for our remembering Kateri...
