yamamanamaThere's not much new to talk about at the MFA. The Koran exhibit opens (if you're reading this in the past) /opened (if you're reading this in the future) the day after Free Fun Friday. Feel free to draw somebody brandishing a Muslamic Raygun. Feel free to start a band called the Muslamic Rayguns, even if there's already a drum&bass band with that name.

I had a conversation about chinchillas, one about giant raccoons in Canada and Arabic tiles (or maybe Farsi), one about safety in numbers when crossing the street, and one about ivory and the only benefit to climate change. Use mammoth ivory. Maybe we could genetically engineer plants that produce ivory.

I found these searching Flickr for Characters in the Collection.

here's Behold: ELECTRICITY! Overexposed.

And here's Lenin and his fleet of zeppelins.
Beyond this point on Flickr, the nonrecognition of pages is causing problems.
Enjoy these fragments. I wrote a few bits of stuff down. Maybe on Columbus Day, if it's still there, I'll write down the story about the evil Dr. Jeremiah AKA Farmer Jeremiah. Maybe the soldiers took it to their Museum of Stolen Art. And we need Super Panda to get it back.
A king and queen and Bart Simpson in a sarcophagus. "I hope you know what you are saying" "OK Dad I won't move" "Just Stay calm and the lion won't attack"
skeleton girl says: "why are you scared? This place is totally not creepy!"
other girl says "yeah, it's a fun house"
"is this chair made from real wood?"
"come again?"
"I was hungry
I dove into FOOD!"
"I love these symbols. I wonder what these mean"
"m m m I'm hungry I want to eat now! I want to eat now!"
There was a story about a bunny named Chocolate that was stolen by an evil fat frog that wanted to eat it because it was made of chocolate.
"Once upon a time there was an evil guy and a skeleton girl. They didn't have time for each other because he was so busy."

The Kiss by Raphael Montañez Ortíz - she (a woman at the MFA with a shirt with Youtube characters or something) said she (the character) looks like she's hitting a punching bag. Go to 1:34 to see what she's talking about. It's a laserdisk that was scratched with a joystick-controlled scratching device.
Takeshi Murata - Silver - what looks like FIOS TV when there's a loose connection, except more like mercury, more liquid less cubist less suprematist; see Springfield, An Objectless Composition.

There's a David Aronson painting in the American wing but it's not by the same David Aronson I'm familiar with. The one I'm familiar with is a lot younger, for one. He was born in Philadelphia rather than Siluva and his zodiac sign is the Whisperer, the Archer, or the Rattlesnake, depending on who you ask.
This is a painting on alabaster and the sun is an imperfection. I swear, the Dutch invented surrealism before there was even a surrealism.

At Park Street, a guy was rollerskating down the platform.
Dogs can sniff out allergens, says a woman with pinkish hair. That makes sense, I guess.
There was a guy playing the ukulele outside of Braintree Station. And someone wearing this t-shirt:
burning question: seen on a pay-phone receptacle hijacked by libertarians, okay… I thought pay-phone was one word: when will my love be enough?
