Fuckin Etsy Labs is a Badass Motherfucker... It's the shit.
Yeah, Mollie took me to Etsy Labs today for a tour and tea. We met Mary and Anna and a bunch of the other Estsy-ites.
God damn that place is the perfect crucible/flow-space for crafting and tweeking. It's bloody fucking awesome! Etsy-folk are super cool.
I started dicking around with a button-making press and turned a hanko stamp from an old business card into a button. Mollie clipped it to her jacket.
Mollie gave her last business card in her purse to Anna so while riding the train to Park Slope, Mollie converted my card with-a-big-hole-in-it into her card using a fine line Sharpie. She gave it to the owner of a store on 5th Avenue and showed some of her pieces.
They're gonna carry some of her jewelry and see how well it sells.
I been jonesing for ice cream for days and even had some earlier.
Still want more ice cream though.
Ice cream good. Me in Bed-Stuy and my ice cream machine back in Cali.
WHY GOD!!? Why must you torture me so?
I see Baskin Robbins in my near future.

I dont know what to think about this. it could go two ways: 1) you become a trendy hater-aiding new yorker in expensve faux thrift shop clothes eating all organic. 2) a crafter--making puff paint and fabric flower shirts. I mean...I literally see both right now. I see the two possible new yous standing before me. Fortunately, I am not too sad or afraid because, though both of them look silly and foreign, both are still having ice cream fantasies.

I just ate a slice of pepperoni pizza down the street.
Mollie is frowning on my food obsession... junk food obsession.
I'm keeping silent on my current ice cream fantasy. It involves mini-market freezer case parfaits with the flat wooden spoons.

If she gets too much on your case, just remind her of the weeks at a time that you dont eat at all.
a good show today. then tequilla for the holiday and all. Kristen, Greg and I had a long semi-theoretical conversation today about diversity and and privlage. starting with my anger at how the most subversive thing in dance right now is to use men. In the long range this is not subversive at all. how dance has developed in a way where men are individuals and women are parts of ensembles---goal=to blend. comming to the conclusion that when it is equal, then it can be equal...but not before then. We talked about the fact that we have the privlage to revoke privlage...ie we are choosing to be poor artists...could choose otherwise and could never know what it would be like to not have that choice. We talked about the continuously receeding "other" of whiteness that almost all could opt out of (Im jewish Im gay) into a specific. We talked about the difference between whitness as culture, and as the absence of culture: the archytype of the orphan deepening. and also, the ultimate orphan archetype of the gay: (most of the time) a black child is born to a black mother, a rich child to a rich mother but ...gay: an outsider even within your own group.
Angela asked if we also talked about how che could suck her balls....but we didnt.
Angela cleaned the house today.
We walked to the coffee shop and then spent time with the rollers and balls developing a restorative yoga routine to be used in "the absence of booty".
I really need to write a paper now.
dear gods of the DSMIV, bless me. bless me.
