Unhappy
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!
Ludo On Greenscreen
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.
Fraenkel Gallery Window
The Fraenkel Gallery is showing photographs by Irving Penn.
Here's the window to the back gallery.
Gallery Paule Anglim Skylight
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.

Outside Kaiser
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.
