tilda

in 1490, an anonymus Netherlands artist
paints a woman with a white wimple

and a black mark which moves
towards a perfect blank face

it’s wedding and weddings mean adulthood
and adulthood means death or at least dying
and if It means anything it means that

ca 1994 someone makes a film out of the book
young adam and the thing is there are no
weddings, and adulthood means sleeping with
married women—but there is death,

sometime, half way through, we see the breast of tilda
as white as too skimmed cream, with the blue tinge of ice
a fly lands, flies, moves further up and over.

It’s the same northern lass, and most likely the same fly.

AnthonySEaston (2:01:26 PM): im trying to figure out american constituonal law
teenydreams (2:02:02 PM): good luck, it seems to be a squirmy beast
teenydreams (2:02:21 PM): if you have a specific question I can ask my husband, he's a lawyer
AnthonySEaston (2:03:15 PM): actually i am wondering about the connections between laws concerning treason/sedition and the second ammendment
teenydreams (2:04:49 PM): hm those are a couple of interesting things to think about together
AnthonySEaston (2:06:06 PM): esp. in relation to Nauvoo if you know anything about LDS history
teenydreams (2:06:29 PM): yes!
AnthonySEaston (2:07:05 PM): good, so ask him that then
AnthonySEaston (2:10:59 PM): if you could please and thank you
teenydreams (2:11:04 PM): :-)
teenydreams (2:11:27 PM): I don't remember the treason bit in nauvoo though, just increased seperatism?
teenydreams (2:11:33 PM): which perhaps amounts to the same thing
teenydreams (2:11:49 PM): and maybe I am confusing it with a different mormon town
AnthonySEaston (2:13:25 PM): thats the question im asking--is that if you have an army in a small town that is half the size of the total american army, and if you are sending it out ot do american tasks, and if you are making yr own citadels upon the hill, when does it stop being defenisve and when does it start becoming agressive


teenydreams (2:14:21 PM): ask the branch davidians as well
teenydreams (2:14:37 PM): and they didn't even have an army!
teenydreams (2:15:48 PM): it is a good topic for conversation, I will bring it up with him
AnthonySEaston (2:15:51 PM): well exactly
teenydreams (2:16:06 PM): but I suspect the answer is, it becomes aggressive whenever the US government says so
teenydreams (2:16:26 PM): I don't know whether there is a judicial test that actions such as that can be put to
teenydreams (2:16:32 PM): but maybe!
AnthonySEaston (2:16:48 PM): i wonder then the history
teenydreams (2:18:21 PM): and then most recently there were the 'minutemen' in arizona, going out and doing what they thought the government wasn't doing well enough
teenydreams (2:18:39 PM): if you asked any of them I'm sure they would say they are americans and would obey american military orders
AnthonySEaston (2:24:15 PM): yeah, there is something wierd in that insurection is codfied in american law but perhaps not in practice?
teenydreams (2:25:04 PM): I don't think many people have been brought up on treason charges
teenydreams (2:25:36 PM): I just looked it up, it's like 30 total!
teenydreams (2:25:41 PM): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treason#United_States
AnthonySEaston (2:25:41 PM): how would you
AnthonySEaston (2:25:47 PM): i saw that
teenydreams (2:25:59 PM): how would you get brought up?
AnthonySEaston (2:29:31 PM): i dont know, why wasnt joesph smith ?
teenydreams (2:29:58 PM): maybe it wasn't worth it to bring him up after he died?
teenydreams (2:30:49 PM): there are a lot of interesting parallels between him getting involved in the judiciary/gov't in nauvoo and what is happening now!
AnthonySEaston (2:30:56 PM): tell me more3
teenydreams (2:32:06 PM): ooh well it's been a while since I read that book on nauvoo (fires of heaven or something like that?) but I remember missouri was always trying to extradite him for the mormon wars

denied for aish, have to chase more paper work, which is just exhausting.

had a seizure in the canada bible society yesterday and had someone falling over me, hoping to bless me, hoping to exit god from me

finsihed susie brights 2004 anthology of erotic short fiction, which i recommend for an amazing steve almond (who wrote candy freak, the more of which i think about it, the more i realise how impt it was politically and how that politcal works was a trojan horse) and a strange freudian jerry stahl (who i think is james ellroy in LA w/o the damaging nostalgia, and w. more heroin) (ellroy lost something i think when he went to the epix)

in the middle of a book on the military (scary), the huge elvis bio last train to memphis(dull), the new biographical dictionary of film by thomson(fascianting), and two books on the blossoming of new sexual ethics post wwii. (one brit/one american both obv.)

wrote peices in the past week, on sharon tate, astrid gilberto, franz kline and cowboy ballads , but its become fractioned, and not filling with whole ideas written in whole sentences, the energy that came in the begginning with the long essays on warhol, rodeo and the protestant ethic, the problems with the anglican corpus, etc has seemed to have gone like a rabbit and a hole.

im still pushing about 1000 words a day, aside from the book

i think the kline might be part of a longer essay on work that qaulifies as concerning itself wtih pop before or at the time pop was emerging, using hamiltions nine as qaulifications, but that would be a long shot---remy and h in addis are looking at warhol in an attempt for some cash money, but i want to give tom something big for the freaky trigger update so...

maybe its just book work and outlining which means that ive fractured?

this shirt, unreconstucted raw silk, hand dyed, is perhaps one of the most lovely and wonderous colours ive seen.

sundars bday party was a bust because of the assholes at cest what, and he kept talking about how it was his fault, how he wasnt agressive enough, and its not but it reminded me of how much blame occurs with with depressives--how much we are convinced that no one likes it, and its all our fault no matter how everyone else is fucking us over.

i keep trying to get him and rachel together, because i want him to hav all the fuun im not.

the bishop and the relief society head come to moms place, and though i was exiled to my bedroom, i heard large portions of the talk, and well its on--selling the place, moving her to a home, and shes worried about doing it is forcing me out, which was the ass kicking i need, the refusal to retreat into the same womb of childhood--shes also worried about what happened to her parents when they went into a home, worried about indepence, worried about death and worried about being not having anywhere for the grandchildren to come...all legit--and i am aparalyzed still that i am not doing all i can do, which apparently is unreasonable. thinking of the slow decay of some of my friends moms, and wondering and knowing what the rock and what the hard place is

i need to wite a registered letter to ray, telling him all of the stuff regarding the legal qaigmire, because it seems there is less and less a chance to get me to toronto. i wonder why glenys and he havent spent much time together.

i really really want to go back ome, edmonton is kiling me.

i worry that the eplispy is a phyiscal mannfiestion of concerns regarding empolybality, if its a way for my body to tell the world that i cannot work, or even if its just a way to get out of the way the rest of the word does business, a sort of cop[eralaztion of my laziness.

im not working as much on my book as i should.

ashley and dave have not contacted me, though i want to have lunch with them

rumsfield at the opry on america--mostly suppourt the troops stuff (but the surrealism of dolly and rumsfield on the stage) but he did say this.

the great sweep of history is for freedom and they are on freedoms side, god bless them, god bless their familes and god bless america

they being troops
(the two most common musical forms among american troops are hip hop and country)

Ironically, it was Joseph Ratzinger's fellow Germans who gave us the diabolical idea that moral absolutes are nonsense -- nihilists such as Nietzsche and Nazis such as Heidegger. French philosophers such as Foucault and Derrida then corrupted the faculty of reason with their postmodernist assault on truth.



Postmodernist thought is alive in many ideological isms: subjectivism, historicism, multiculturalism, deconstructionism, moral relativism and nihilism. It is the work of leftist academics at war with the Catholic concept of natural law. But others have promulgated this invidious idea.


"There is no such thing as truth, either in the moral or in the scientific sense." The author of this sentence was Adolf Hitler, although it could have been penned by any of today's postmodernist intellectuals.

William Donahue

The Abortion Clinic at the Royal Alex is being replaced by an In Vitro clinic, which destroys both teaching oppurtunities and services for poor women...i wrote a letter to the journal about it

Kids like to go where there is life, fun, and activity. The Second family created Soul Train City to give children a place to play, relax, have fun, and more importantly to study the Bible. Surrounded by colored murals and animatronic characters, children have the opportunity to hear Bible stories and Christian parables presented by Parabelle, an animated talking bird controlled by a hidden operator.

Located on the fourth floor of the Jane Elder Building, the Terminal gives students the opportunity to relax, play, and talk with friends. Here, students can eat, play games, air hockey, pool and ping pong. On the far side of the room, students may come after school to study, read, do homework, or take a break on our full size video games.

From the Virtual Tour of the Second Baptist Church Houston

I am torn between the commuitarian ethic of providing services from cradle to grave--from providing a resource space for everyone and christ as disneyland.

books

thomas findleys collection of essays about country life, reminded me of my uncle jim, loving, low key, queer, fun, and sweet--a life outside what is expected normally.

revoultion in the head--things i loathed about this book:
1) It doesnt seem unreasonable to me for Youve Got To HIde Your Love Away to be queer, in fact a queer reading seems as obv. as lets say jail house rock or jean genie. (i wrote more about this on nyplm under the title whos who in the purple gang)
2) The assumptions in Elenaor Rigby about the Beatles being the most realistic and socially concicous artists of all times
3) The insane underrating of the Shangri Las as just silly girls making black jokes about death, and how its all v. camp but not nearly as impt or vital as our saints, the beatles.
4) this line about Brian Epstien: A Lonely and hypersenstive homosexual, he was easily hurt by his proteges flippant gibes.
5) the assumption that no one listened to revoultion no. 9 more then once.
6) the complete and utter misreading of the ballad and jon and yoko
7) the careless assumption that joesph beuys was part of fluxus
8) the misogynst old boys dismissal of yokos talents
9) how little is written about harrison or starr
10) the dismissial of anything that wasnt simple or bluesy or dripping with working class versimilltude.
11) mostly it was the old fan boy who refused to belive that any other could infulence the beatles--the queers, the women, the people of colour, all of them invaded the breeder boy fortress that was the fab four

i liked its taxonomic, exhaustive approach though.

paglias burn break blow--it made me read marvell again, which made me happy, and her hatred of postmodernism crumbles into her love of pop culture, and it anthologizes one of my favourite wanda coleman and it has a fantastic essay on wcw's poem about plums and but it was old, and exhausted and sad, and it didnt have the provactive fury of her pervious work, her one book is a work of nature, wrong, convulsive, exhausting, but brilliant--everything else pales. (and she hates the fench

terry eagletons (d's thesis gift) was dishonest--he knew better then for example the african marxist post colonial revoultions had complicated and intractablly colonial realtionships with the ussr, or that marx's fear of culture tells more then he lets on and that marx lost or that baudillard never wrote that the gulf war never existed, and there is a funny but both pointless and nasty ad hominem attack out front.

post structalism scares people so much that they purposely refuse to honestly engage with its texts.

a book on donald judds early work, standard catalog copy, pretty pretty pictures, and a welcome gift from martin

agnes, 6/30 prints

Lead, 1969, JAsper Johns, High School DAys

near the end of his fertile period, series of small and heavy reliefs of a toothbrush. eyeglasses, a lightbulb on chain, and this.

ideas of the artist as critic, the artist as voyuer, the artist as cheap, cliche ridden, the artist as permanent adolsecent. (also in terms of the toothbrush, a refuting of his earlier work--it looks hygenic and clean, but its literally deadly.

this one is really interesting as well, in a sort of anti autobiographical sense--w. the targets constantly queered, made political when he really is not...the mirror on the shoe is the heterosexual signifier, there can be nothing queer about it---the seminal primal veiwings of gay folks are easier to see and more difficult to process--male flesh parades. (football field, locker room, the summer heat, etc)

you guys are sick of all this fag stuff arent you--
then look at how formally brilliant the circle of the mirror is reflected in the bottom of the shoe, and the shine of silver is made more glorius in the dull shean of the lead.

Your actual outcome:

Labour -6
Conservative -49
	Liberal Democrat 70

You should vote: Liberal Democrat

The LibDems take a strong stand against tax cuts and a strong one in favour of public services: they would make long-term residential care for the elderly free across the UK, and scrap university tuition fees. They are in favour of a ban on smoking in public places, but would relax laws on cannabis. They propose to change vehicle taxation to be based on usage rather than ownership.
