Philallery: "Other Ways In" at Space 1026 →
Haha, this review mostly liked my art but hated Mike’s!
Correction = “Quotidian” photos that you may have seen on this tumblr pre-scrub were mine not his; “photography” is sorta being identified here as the thing I’m “not good at” that’s included in this show, and I mean, obviously, but the idea was to provide a little blown-out context for...

Subject: Final Breakfast 10ish-2ish 12/18 From: Tom Bubul Date: December 14, 2011 2:47:55 PM EST To: F_T
(This email is about FINAL BREAKFAST, my house ~10am-~2pm this Sunday.)
Everyone,
Isn’t it weird that a baby in a diaper was so recently wearing a red sash emblazoned with a gold “2011,” and that now, that sash has turned to black, and is worn by a grim reaper...

Elegy for troubled dream-warriors / Override...
Often when I am doing the dishes or sweeping the floor I think, “I am a warrior.” Why does this line resonate to me? Is it because saying “I am an artist” does not connote resistance, fortification, or strength? What do I believe I am at war with? Other than days and the kitchen floor.
In check-out lines at Price Rite. The clerk dressed in blue’s wail of sadness is...

Creeping mud diary IX, XX, MXI
Well so I keep taking photographs of my desk but it’s too hard to capture anything - A pile of things I printed out - Different surfaces I’ve been marking with different devices, at various states of completion -
Feels sorta important to be updating this so that I could look at it later and say, “there’s when that” -
Louis moved out and I was surprised to feel...

Sitebag.biz
Here’s this project Allen and Jeff developed at camp. The idea is that if you’re a person who just checks three websites, you don’t need a huge google reader or whatever, you just need to put those sites into a bag. If you’re a person who needs to remember to download a few music posts, you don’t need to bookmark those sites for all eternity, you just need to put them...

Staples diary 8/30/2011
I was gonna just email this super stupid story to Kathryn because it’s probably not funny to anyone other than me and her (re: a funny similar thing we overheard at camp this summer) and it probably just illustrates what a ghoul I am in re: interacting with the normal byways of above-ground commercial exchange, but posting something to the Internet at large about this is gonna make me feel...

KM on the echo mic
Well the first session of camp is over and the second session started yesterday. The staff joke right now at camp is “bring on the sessions; we need more sessions.”
Steady as she goes —-
Had a lovely day off on Monday, enjoyed several beers, an incredible staff dinner care of the chef: spring mix/haddock with lobster/rare steak cuts w....

Gold teeth diary 7/16
I was doing the “Bruce” routine (British accent rich person in Gotham City looking for Bruce Wayne at a benefit party; used to do this routine mainly with KW in the Lockwood kitchen before noon) with this kid I love at breakfast for like 25 minutes just now, he was saying how he was in England this year “because his drama teacher is Shakespearian” and he really liked how...

Argon batch diary 6/20/11
1) WHERE I WENT
2) HOW TO GET IN TOUCH WITH ME HERE
Until August 23 the normal ways to get in touch with me are a little upside down. Texting is permanently my favorite (570) 574 2436 if you need to let me know something but noting that it’ll be a little difficult for me to send a message back. Texting me to tell me that you want to talk to me on the phone is good, and unlike in...

Air organ tremolo diary 6/16/2011 (part 2)
Man we had such a nice little party last night. I had a lovely time. My only regret is that I forgot to spice the black beans better for the tacos, and they tasted like plain black beans. Sophie and Mickey climbed into my pile of pelts this morning and we rapped for a while in there, then KW came up and was like “Get up and design me a tattoo of a little face.” I made this sheet of...

Air organ tremolo diary 6/16/2011 (part 1)
Gonna break this post up over I think two posts? I feel like this format that I love, which is “put your five blog posts together into one blog post” just means that nobody reads them, ahahaha.
1) WHERE I AM
Stayed up all night photoshopping and making a website then woke up around 1pm today. Now BIN SERIES #7 playing in the 3rd floor apartment, just wiped packing tape slices all...
