STOP Guillermo Vargas!!!

This is a very serious matter...
In 2007, the 'artist' Guillermo Vargas Habacuc, took a dog from the street, tied him to a rope in an art gallery, and starved him to death. For several days, the 'artist' and the visitors of the exhibition have watched emotionless the shameful 'masterpiece' based on the dog's agony, until eventually he died. Does it look like art to you? But this is not all... the prestigious Visual Arts Biennial of the Central American decided that the 'installation' was actually art, so that Guillermo Vargas Habacuc has been invited to repeat his cruel action for the biennial of 2008. PLEASE HELP STOP HIM. http://www.petitiononline.com/ea6gk/petition.html It's free of charge, there is no need to register, and it will only take 1 minute to save the life of an innocent creature.


No surprise here - this has illicited an overwhelming response of pissed off people. One of my personal favs...
"Fuck that so-called art. If there is anything that could change my mind about conceptual art it would be this. It sick that people would be SO FUCKING IGNORANT to accept this as art. Someone should tie this peice of shit to a wall so we can watch him starve and die.
Even Duchamp would not approve. And I dont think this peice is conceptual.
It is not always entirely clear what 'concept' ultimately refers to, and it runs the risk of being confused with 'intention.' Thus, in describing or defining a work of art as conceptual, it is important not to confuse what is referred to as 'conceptual' with an artists 'intention.'
This is INTENTION. Fuck guillermo!"

Killer Klowns from Outer Space

Tapas!

Cruzin the beeyotch and came across an awesome mediterranean tapas restaurant. It was decently priced, BYOB and had the best mushrooms I've ever tasted. I tried paella for the first time ever and enjoyed these yummy dough-ball roll things that they had. It is definitely one of my new fav places!!!
I was waxing nostalgic though....I started thinking about my one previous tapas experience, which made me think of going to Spain...and now i really want to go somewhere!!

Sean Paul’s songs sparked woman’s seizures

Post-brain surgery, the 25-year-old can safely listen to her favorite artist
Thurs., Jan. 17, 2008

GARDEN CITY, N.Y. - Now that surgeons have operated on Stacey Gayle's brain, her favorite musician no longer makes her ill. Four years after being diagnosed with epilepsy, Gayle recently underwent brain surgery at Long Island Jewish Medical Center to cure a rare condition known as musicogenic epilepsy.

Gayle, a 25-year-old customer service employee at a bank in Alberta, Canada, was suffering as many as 10 grand mal seizures a day, despite being treated with medications designed to control them. The condition became so bad she eventually had to quit her job and leave the church choir where she sang.

Eighteen months ago, she began to suspect that music by reggae and hip-hop artist Sean Paul was triggering some of her seizures. She recalled being at a barbecue and collapsing when the Jamaican rapper's music started playing, and then remembered having a previous seizure when she heard his music.

Her suspicions were confirmed on a visit to the Long Island medical center last February, when she played Paul's hit "Temperature" on her iPod for doctors. Soon after, she suffered three seizures.

"Being that the seizures could be triggered by the music, this was a very interesting opportunity to study Stacey's brain," said Dr. Ashesh Mehta, the hospital's director of epilepsy surgery.

During the first surgery, doctors implanted more than 100 electrodes in the right side of her brain to pinpoint the abnormal area of her brain.

The surgeons followed that procedure with a second surgery to remove the electrodes, along with parts of her brain suspected of causing the seizures.

"We used the latest techniques, including image guidance, to pinpoint the areas of abnormality, and the operating microscope to perform the procedure during a four-hour operation," Mehta said.

Within three days, the woman was released from the hospital and has not experienced a seizure since.

"I always live each day like it's my last," she said. "I want to show others that life does not end at epilepsy. I know I have what it takes to succeed."

That Would Suck



Thrash Unreal



I really like this band. I really like this song. Plus a friend, Ms Rori!, is "the (hot and distraught) girl" in the video so it makes it that much better.

Find me by the speaker, bouncing in my skull
Tell if its you and if you're bringing it all
Pull me even closer, hold me to your neck
Tell if its you and are you bringing it all
