I’LL GIVE YOU SUCH A PUNCH

Recently spotted outside the Langham Place Hotel lobby in Mong Kok:



That’s from the Materialist sculpture series by Wang Guangyi. But you knew that.

PRO-LIFE/PRO-CHOICE BOOK SALE SMACKDOWN!

ITEM: Planned Parenthood and a Right-To-Life group hold used book sales on the same weekend in the same city.

Def Agent bedsitter23  attended both. His report is here. And it’s excellent.

I can safely say that if there’s one thing I miss about living in the US, it’s used book sales. There’s nothing quite like the thrill of finding that one Ron Goulart book you haven’t read yet for a dollar. The closest we have to it in HK is the flea market in the Disco Bay plaza that happens every three months. There’s one coming up this weekend, but we’ll be selling, not buying, so unless the booth next to us has some books, I probably won’t have much of a chance to look around.

Easy reader,

YOU WON’T SEE ME IN THE NEXT LIFE

By order of ziyda , one of the more interesting memes I’ve seen in awhile:

Your result for Reincarnation Placement Exam...

Reclusive Artist

58% Intrigue, 68% Civilization, 40% Humanity, 44% Urbanization.

We think we've found a place for you.

Your answers indicate that you're very fond of the fruits of civilization... for example, education and technology. But, in some twist of irony, you're not too fond of the pressures of civilization... you know, human beings and crowds and working together. We found you a place where you could enjoy an erudite existence, live a life that's intriguing and not entirely secure -- but far from the madding crowd.

Removed from civilization and humanity, yet educated and sophisticated, you'll make the perfect reclusive artist... An eccentric that produces irresistibly attractive masterpieces. Your art will make people swoon, and yet you will despise your audience. Your audience will probably dislike you as well, though they will go on admiring your work. So it all balances out, and your patrons will leave you alone to shape beauty in the wild, dangerous parts of the world where people won't pester you so much. Probably, you will write under a pseudonym, and mutter a lot when a rare admirer comes calling. If you feel really adventurous, you can pursue the role of a political dissident.

As you age, you will grow into the role of an incorrigible curmudgeon.

You artists, you're all the same.

YOUTUBE SURVIVOR SERIES #49: DANCES WITH TIME TRAVELLERS

In which Bettie Page does an interpretive dance of The Seeds’ “Can’t Seem To Make You Mine” at least 10 years before they recorded it.

[Borderline NSFW, but no nudity. Consult yr supervisor for details.]

PRODUCTION NOTE: Obviously Bettie was originally dancing to something else, but this song is a perfect fit to the video.

A little bit of love and not one kiss,
