Seven hundred million Chinese  And me, and me, and me  With my life, my small at home  My headache, my psi  I think of it and then I forget  It is the life, it is the life    Four twenty million indonésiens And me, and me, and me  With my car and my dog  Its Canigou when it aboit  I think of it and then I forget  It is the life, it is the life    Three or four hundred million blacks And me, and me, and me  Who go to the burnisher  With the sauna to lose weight  I think of it and then I forget  It is the life, it is the life    Three hundred million Soviet And me, and me, and me  With my manias and my tics  In my p' tit reads in goose feathers I think of it and then I forget  It is the life, it is the life    Fifty million imperfect people And me, and me, and me  Who look at Catherine Langeais  On television at home  I think of it and then I forget  It is the life, it is the life    Last nine hundred million bad cold hunger And me, and me, and me  With my mode vegetarian  And all whisky that I sending  I think of it and then I forget  It is the life, it is the life    Five hundred American million south And me, and me, and me  I am very naked in my bath  With a girl who cleans me  I think of it and then I forget  It is the life, it is the life    Fifty million Vietnamese  And me, and me, and me  Sunday with hunting for rabbit  With my rifle, I am the king  I think of it and then I forget  It is the life, it is the life    Five hundred millards of small Martians And me, and me, and me  Like an idiot of Parisian  I await my cheque of end of month I think of it and then I forget  It is the life, it is the life    I think of it and then I forget

I am not a total boob, but I had heard the name Jacques Dutronc referenced in music before but didn't actually hear his music until I saw a reasonably aweful youtube video today.  Why does most video look like bad college video, I guess it is much better than the angsty ranting of a teen with nothing to say. Anyhow I only found one Dutronc song on iTunes but 3 or 4 videos on youtube.  The translation of the song is fun too.

Tiger Tiger

Tiger Tiger burning bright,

In the forests of the night,

What immortal hand or eye

Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

sounds like art to me... should invite a tiger into the studio...

but then he would certainly hang out for the opening and become a pest

thanks to Jay Van Buren for the images, and with the thought firmly in my head I managed to see another costumed tiger at the deli, coincidence?  I think not.

Second Life Is Offline

I have often compared second life to a rich chat room or rich IM client, but yesterday when the grid was down for god knows what reason and I had an important meeting scheduled at Trotsky's I didn't even consider moving the meeting to IM until someone else brought up the idea. It is not relevant that I could not get a room with the meeting guests set up or that the meeting was eventually conducted through email.

I guess that at this point I believe my own bullshit that second life is not just a chat.

Well, was there loss?  I doubt it.  Was I tired? well of course but on some level I reflected on the experience of the meeting and did not find an alternative.

In i7o's sky theater.

I met an interesting artist today by the name of i7o.  Though the name is vaguely reminiscent of a highway his work is very interesting in that he is adopting the use of the SL engine.  He has only been around for a few weeks, but if his initial venture is any indication, he is an artist to watch.

Now where did I put that paperwork for the Artist in Residency for Ars Virtua??

News About Ars Virtua

I had a great meeting yesterday in the city with a curator that will be taking on the main gallery and gallery 2 in november/ december respectively.  In the immortal words of the Donald, "this is HUge."  I am not sure what i can say now, but will be making an announcement regarding it very soon.

In game political debate.

Trotsky's played host to the political debate this evening in Neufreistadt.  I am not sure what is interesting here, I mean adding politics to a game without direction seems like it could be insanely boring.  Both parites stuck close to their platforms and there were no real surprises.

Stand by your man

I took the Second Life gender bender challenge, but because my gender was already pretty ambiguous I just flipped things around and became oddly ambiguous.

After a meaningful conversation about the quality of the experiment with a Queer artist I sort of realized that this is not that meaningful, but the experiment was informative.  Some of the traditional niceties of RL intervened and there was at least one person who seemed too shocked to say anything.

After my day as a womanish ambiguity, it was nice to get back to being a mannish ambiguity.

I also seem to have lost a lot of my Alien features.

It should be pretty obvious that I am not a good blogger.

Perhaps it is my choice of browser.  Would it make any difference to use, say Flock?
