bitchin' kitchen - ?




there's a longer episode on the cooking channel that goes further with the anxiety and paranoia theme. this woman's pursuing an m.a. in performance studies.

"buckwheat flour is not a flour at all, actually. it's a relative of the RHU (rue) BAR b. "
"...for those of you who don't speak spanish, that's PRAWNS IN CASHEW SAUCE."
"the nice thing about the tiger prawn is they don't have that big vein down their back."
"then you put it down just like that, so the tail EXTENDS. then just brush it with butter. just press together the edges, so it's firm."

david lynch su "inland empire"

white material

today

today there was a soup described as, "summer yellow squash," on the menu at the feve. i didn't eat there today. i ran into ben who is back in town and i remembered there is more of summer left. i thought more about designing clothes and about advertising and principles - i had a dream with peggy from mad men in it and kalan with a robotic puppet with matching costumes for both (kalan and the puppet). with neon green and pink little knots of fabric, on a simple suit combination of black shirt and black leggings. i realized there is no familiar architecture in my dreams, and i only know that someone is sitting in a dream because i sense the presence of a chair like an idea, it is like a rudimentary video game. i noticed that several fashion designs incorporate extremes of asymmetry.

this new kind of 6 pack has a brilliant design:




like a cheap set of juices for little kids - who know those mini plastic keg juices? beer is...great.

the most naturally resolved choice in alcoholic drink. i feel like i haven't gotten enough done in oberlin this summer, which probably comes with everyone's summer in oberlin, in a little package in the mail from a friend with a plastic necklace that represents membership. since my father was a businessman, sometimes if i tell myself something is unproductive that makes it easier to stop doing. for instance, thinking i haven't been productive enough generally makes me less productive, therefore i should cease. sometimes this method works. but is prayer about mind control? i imagine the yellow, single-drawer night stand in dave's room and say 2 myself judgement is unproductive, think of that time you picked 10 pounds of cherries. i become desperate for technique, the channel. i rented a video from the oberlin public library that instructs on how to paint watercolors, but it was only watercolor landscapes, and it was actually about ireland as a cultural exporter, and featuring an inspiring sound mix with a hair dryer. maybe i shouldn't give up on pedagogies just because they seem nationalistic. where is structure? what if i only made art objects out of pseudo japanese stationary and cork board? i should go back to school even though i never left - my mom has a new drink and it's a kind of iced coffee.
