Unhappy


Unhappy, originally uploaded by dumbeast.

Ray at the vet today.

We wanted to check out how his overall health is doing since his trip to I-131 camp last fall. He wasn't at all pleased about the examination.

He wouldn't speak to us after we got home. Poor guy. He's forgiven me now, though. In fact, he's bugging me for attention right now.

Alright, Ray!

This is, I believe, Audrey's mouse, Ludo. Or it might be Adam's mouse. And I might have the name of the mouse wrong.

Anyway, Adam & I videotaped a bunch of mice on a piece of green illustration board yesterday, for future chromakeying into whatever situation is desired.

Who knows? Is it possible that Detox Mouse is scheming to declare Fatwa on your ass?

Glen Moriwaki

Mary & I just attended the first class of Art 109--Contemporary Art at SF City College. Here's our professor, Glen Moriwaki. He's intelligent, engaging, and not inarticulate. Didn't piss me off even once. I don't know what I expected, but it wasn't that. Huh.

Out of Context

This sigmoidoscope was for sale at somebody's booth at the Laney Flea Market yesterday.

I don't know for sure where it's been, but I could certainly venture a guess.

Gallery Paule Anglim Skylight, originally uploaded by dumbeast.

I hit some of the downtown SF galleries on Friday. At Gallery Paule Anglim, there was a nice retrospective of Jess.

I liked the skylight over the stairs that lead to the gallery. I wonder how those pine needles got there.

Still from my new video, "A Tour of Bruce's Colon"

I decided that the movie started too abruptly, so yesterday, I rode up to Kaiser and filmed an introductory sequence.

This shot helps set the scene in the sigmoidoscopy chamber.

Coming never to a theatre near you! (It's kind of transgressive)

Ice Water


Ice Water, originally uploaded by dumbeast.

Mary has to soak her elbow in ice water every day. Turns out, Ray likes ice water. We're not sure whether he likes the cold, or just enjoys hanging out with his people. You know, social drinker.

Nothin' right about that boy.
