(no subject)

As you may have noticed, I have been lousy at avoiding the internet this past week. So I'm going to keep attempting to avoid it until I'm successful for a bit. Today, the news was the reason I wanted to go online.

We watched The Interpreter earlier, and it was better than I expected, and pretty interesting, but while addressing tons of issues there are plenty, particularly implicit issues of race, which it did not address much (except in the caption of Zuwanie's childhood photo). Still, a decent mystery/political-thriller.

Some links and stuff for you:

Colette Calascione - not as weird as Ray Caesar or Mark Ryden, but some pop-surrealism commonalities. Really nice art. On the other hand, she seems to still be pretty young, probably in her early 30s, and I think her painting style will become more refined with time. It's good now. (via Neatorama.)

After "Invisible Man" by Ralph Ellison, The Prologue by Jeff Wall - depicts a scene from... well, you guess. Amazing image. Over 1000 lightbulbs, just like in the book. (via something or other, maybe Neatorama as well.)

Aquarabbit - Delicately stitched and painted art by Dana Robson, featuring bunnies, hedgehogs, squirrels, skies, and stars. (via a comment on Apartment Therapy.)

There were some interesting articles, too, but hey, nothing I can do about a browser crash.
