Berlin: Class struggle and not struggling for a class: an anti-colonial critique of the May Day organizers
Start worrying in a few million years about a cosmic dust collision, when the sun hits the closest spiral arm of our galaxy. Take your chances with an exploding star. Or manage to escape these threats, and you just get an extra 10^35 years before all matter decays anyway. Summer fulfils, with punning literalness, Forsters maxim that every novel has a clock in it. When Robert superglues an egg timer to Sachas hand (giving her time on her hands ha ha) on Brighton beach, shes rescued by Art and Charlotte, the estranged couple whom we met in Winter, and this propels the assembled characters off on a joint road trip. Thats another Smith speciality: metaphorically gluing strangers to one another and seeing what happens, as a way of teasing out her recurring concerns how we act on, and change, one another as well as how we are changed when we encounter art, and how art is changed when it encounters other art. She was Lo, plain Lo, in the morning, standing four feet ten in one sock. She was Lola in slacks. She was Dolly at school. She was Dolores on the dotted line. But in my arms she was always Lolita. Like the lighthouse that the author hymned in Moominpappa at Sea, the huts one room had windows facing in all directions so that Tove and Pietilä could watch the horizon from 360 degrees, and see the winds and storms coming and going. Seated at separate desks (in Helsinki they lived in separate apartments joined by an attic corridor), they got a lot into the day. While Jansson wrote, Pietilä drew, or filmed with her 8mm camera. Occasionally they had a joint project, constructing scenes from the Moomin books, with Pietilä making the 3D models and Jansson painting them: That was their play time.
Additional Photo Collage Ideas - Vogue Paris has an editorial in the November 2008 issue which features a 20-year-old model photographed as if she were 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60 years old. The hands betray her true age in the 40, 50, and 60 shots but the 10-year-old photo is a little bit of brilliancejust the right angle and lighting. (via the year in pictures)
Newspaper collage ideas - The western Great Plains are emptying of people. Some 322 of the 443 Plains counties have lost population since 1930 and a majority have lost population since 1990. Now is the time for the Federal government to sell high-priced land in the West, use some of the proceeds to deal with current problems and use some of the proceeds to buy low-priced land in the Plains creating the worlds largest nature park, The Buffalo Commons.
(thx, dave) The Writers Map, on the other hand, a glorious current read of mine, is a book whose force feels centrifugal: two chapters in, and I already have a long list of books and to chase down. It spins me out. The Bank of Oklahoma Building in Tulsa, Oklahoma is (nearly) a half-scale version of the World Trade Center towers. The building was designed by the WTC architect and completed just three years after the Twin Towers. Summer, says a character in Ali Smiths new novel, is really an imagined end. We head for it instinctually like it must mean something. Smiths quartet of seasonal novels has also been heading for summer. Beginning with Autumn in 2016, they have arrived punctually, one per year, each in its eponymous season and as close to the events described as possible. The project has been an attempt to narrow the gap not only between a novels conception and its publication, but between art and the reality it consumes in order to produce itself.

Shopsin is quite simply one of my favorite creative people around, and Ive written about her work several times on this blog. Really excited for people to fall in love with this book, and Im even more excited for her first novel, LaserWriter II, which comes out in October. Tove Jansson, the writer and artist best known for creating the Moomins, spent her summers on an island in the gulf of Finland with her lifelong partner, Tuulikki Pietila. She wrote most of her books there, and she wrote The Summer Book, about a girl and her grandmother living on an island, at the age of sixty, after losing her mother. I love this book because its what I wish all my summers would feel like, deep and just a little dark and surrounded by the sea Bedrooms are a haven and a place to wind down after a long day to get some rest. Vacation photos, pictures of your kids and beautiful illustrations are a sweet way to incorporate dreamy scenes into your bedroom aura.
Before hanging the collage in your home or gifting it to a friend, make sure to place it in a frame you love! 4) Look through the viewfinder: Make sure that everything in your shot is symmetrical. If a tiny bit of it isnt, like a bird or a queer walking down the street, thats OK because it makes the photo cool. Go watch every Stanley Kubrick movie ever made if you dont understand this. (Study Alexs fake eyelash as the archetypal stylistic symmetry violator) Still no unanimous decision on the placement of Candy Corn, which as of 2006 remained unclassified, but as of 2007 had been tentatively placed in the Upper Chewy/Upper Devonian. 2008: no sighting. The great reading project of my spring was reading Richardsons trilogy of biographies: Henry Thoreau: A Life of the Mind(so good which was so good Annie Dillard wrote him a fan letter and they wound up getting married), Emerson: The Mind on Fire(which I swear reads in spots like he was showing off for his new partner), andWilliam James: In the Maelstrom of American Modernism. (I also read his shortbiography of his mentor, the biographer Walter Jackson Bate.

Since Plato, philosophers have described the decisionmaking process as either rational or emotional: we carefully deliberate or we blink and go with our gut. But as scientists break open the minds black box with the latest tools of neuroscience, theyre discovering that this is not how the mind best decisions are a finely tuned blend of both feeling and reason and the precise mix depends on the buying a house, for example, its best to let our unconscious mull over the many variables. But when were picking a stock, intuition often leads us trick is to determine when to lean on which part of the brain, and to do this, we need to think harder (and smarter) about how we think. Sea Orchestra is a nice animated commercial for United Airlines done by Shy the Sea. As lovely as it is, the making of video which reveals reference materials, initial sketches, and storyboards might be even better.

But on the first day of school, nothing happened. No flood of calls, no angry protests, and no bullying. Michelle was happy and shocked that M.J.s classmates seemed to get it. When one student made a mocking comment to another using M.J.s former name, one eighth-grade boy dismissed him with a simple insight. That person doesnt even exist anymore, he said. Youre talking about somebody whos imaginary.
