1. found out the other day that my slutty, nomadic german artist of a great(x2) grandfather was also a jew. he was an artist from hamburg that impregnated ladies all around the world and ended up here in vancouver. my father who is really into geneology and researching his family forgot to mention that important piece of information.

2. pest control dude came to my apartment today to lay down poison for the cockroaches and for the mice. hopefully that will be the end of my pest woes.

3. he noticed right away all my deity art that i have all over my apartment and asked me what i was and where i was from. he then wanted to know if i believed in god and what i did for god. it wasn't as offensive as it could have been. probably because he was also an immigrant, brown and muslim. still kinda condescending but in the end he was curious. i don't know if he has encountered interspiritual people before.

4. new girl at the salon seems to be the missing piece for the staff. she's an updo queen and the rest of us aren't. i've been wanting to get more skills in the long hair styling and updos and now i have a teacher. she also could not believe her luck and the easygoing and fun nature of the salon. i keep having waves of deep love and appreciation for my bosses and coworkers. that is a very good thing for a work environment.

5. i'm waiting for my webdesigner to put up my website.
http://www.magentarays.com/
is the website . i seriously hate that he put up my shitty bio from my old blogger account where i was focusing more on the healing stuff for my coming soon page.

if you want a peek at the site here it is

today is my 32nd birthday.

this is the face of  a 32 year old that got id'd at the liquor store a couple hours ago. i thanked the clerk that id'd me and james announced that it was my 32nd birthday and then asked the clerk how old she was. she was 25. it's a compliment to get id'd at 32 when the legal drinking age is 19.

i wonder if i would get id'd if i let my grey hairs show.

Dear Beloved

It is by the grace of God that I received Christ, having known the truth;
I had no choice than to do what is lawful and just in the sight of God for
eternal life and in the sight of man for witness of God & His Mercies and
glory upon my life.

I am Mrs. Rita Gilbert,the wife of Mr.Sam Gilbert,both of us, are citizens
of the united state of America. my husband worked with the Chevron/Texaco
in Russia for twenty years before he died in the year  2003.We were
married for ten years without a child. My Husband died after a brief
illness that lasted for only four days. Before his death we both got
born-again as dedicated Christians. Since his death I decided not to
re-marry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is
strongly against. When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of
7.5 Million Pounds (Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand Pounds) with a
Bank in Europe.

Presently, this money is still with the Bank and the management just wrote
me as the beneficiary that our account has been DORMANT and if I, as the
beneficiary of the funds, do not re-activate the account; the funds will
be CONFISCATED or I rather issue a letter of authorization to somebody to
receive it on my behalf (note that you need to activate this account) as I
can not come over. Presently, I'm in a hospital in Russia where I have
been undergoing treatment for esophageal cancer. I have since lost my
ability to talk and my doctors have told me that I have only a few weeks
to live. It is my last wish to see this money distributed to charity
organizations and NGO anywhere in the World in helping human race.

Because relatives and friends have plundered so much of my wealth since my
illness, I cannot live with the agony of entrusting this huge
responsibility to any of them. Please, I beg you in the name of God to
help me  Stand-in as the beneficiary and collect the Funds from the Bank.

I want a person that is God-fearing who will use this money to fund
churches,orphanages and widows propagating the word of God and to ensure
that the house of God is maintained. The Bible made us to understand that
blessed is the hand that giveth. I took this decision because I don't have
any child that will inherit this money and my husband's relatives are not
Christians and I  don't want my husband's hard earned  money to be misused
by unbelievers. I don't want a situation where this money will be used in
an ungodly manner. Hence  the reason for taking this bold decision. I am
not afraid of death since I know where I am going to.

I know that I am going to be in the bossom of the  Lord. Exodus 14 VS 14:
says that the Lord will fight my case and I shall hold  my peace. I don't
need any telephone communication in this regard because of my soundless
voice and presence of my husband's relatives around me always. I don't
want them to know about this development.

I await your quick response to this mail as this is my last wish to see
this funds transferred before my Death.

Please my beloved for further communication on how we are going to
conclude this, reach me on my private mail:ritagilbert_97@yahoo.com.hk
Remain Blessed

Your Sister in Christ,
Mrs.Rita Gilbert

i went and voted today.

it seems like everyone is in a strategic vote headset to get harper out.

my riding has alot of liberal and conservative supporters.

i can not vote liberal just to get that douchebag out of office. i voted like i always do. green. the only time i don't vote green is when i vote ndp. if i was still in libby davies riding i would have voted ndp. i like her and her politics and one of my clients is her son and he's pretty awesome as is her daughter in law so i know that she's gold.

when me and bernie got to the voting station we realized that we were the youngest people there by 40-50 years. and i hate to admit it but when i am surrounded by that many old white people voting i always fear that they are voting conservative. who knows maybe they where voting green, ndp or independant. maybe they are liberals.   maybe they are undercover raging grannies. i got to stop assuming that old and white conservative looking people hate the environment, the arts, and human decency.

here's hoping that anyone other than harper wins tonight. maybe kicking that jerk out of office will rub off on our american neighbours so that they too can vote republican douchebagery out of office too.

Drawings by Seattle artist Marianne Goldin

ARTIST STATEMENT

I.
This show is my departure into a land of concept and pop-art. This is a show of LOLcat drawings on paper, rendered in the classical pen and ink tradition.

II.
My role as an artist is to distill the essence of a feeling or a concept through my chosen medium, for a real or imagined audience (the self is an option).

III.
The audience is key when thinking about and creating works for public showing. As a “public artist” (one who makes my work available through various media, and one who is active in the public realm), it is my responsibility to consider the zeitgeist when creating works for mass consumption.

IV.
Play is key in art. While I cannot completely validate my amusement with LOLcats through words, I know that it exists, and I know that they bring me joy. Similarly, my “art”– making marks on paper and the gradual progression of these marks to a “finished piece”–cannot be fully explained or accounted for.

V.
I have a love/hate relationship with jargon. At its best, it can buttress communities of individuals as they attempt to explain and create symbols; at its worst, it can alienate an audience and relegate the subject matter into obscurity. Such are LOLcats, and writing about art.

VI.
LOLcats are an Internet meme, comprised of an image of a cat and crudely (but very idiomatically and stylistically) misspelled block-letter captions surmising the thoughts, internal monologues, and situations ascribed to the cats (the inaugural LOLcat featured a wont fat grey tabby and the words “I CAN HAS CHEEZBURGER” emblazoned dead-center.). They deal in an absurdist humor that vacillates between profane/sublime, light-hearted/morose. The patois of LOLspeak is similar to the slang of subcultures.

“LOL” is internet-speak for “laugh out loud”. The gestalt of image and text intends a sudden burst of laughter in the midst of the click-clack of a keyboard.

LOLcats can take on a meritocratic tone, since not all cats are made equal – an ideal model oozes with pathos and photogeneity. There are even Weberian “ideal types” to be found – styles and families of LOLcat: the terse Zen koan, the Invisible (fill in the blank), and the various motifs of Ceiling Cat. Many instances use cats to allegorize human frustrations with technology.

VII.
The LOLcat phenomenon is a constructed cultural symbol in that it engenders humor and commonality among consumers of digital content. My recent conversation with someone not yet indoctrinated into the LOLcat experience was profoundly changed after the LOLcat concept was introduced and understood by the other person. The LOLcat symbol added a layer of nuance to what was afore-to understood only as my “cat obsession”. It became a kind of secret language – a password and instant clue to my interests and cultural consciousness. In the realm of Internet society, LOLcats act as a proxy for absent physical cues (hairstyle, clothing, accessories, logos, gadgets) to signal attributes of constructed online identities.
