yamamanamaI finished Gravity's Rainbow, right in time, because the tape its previous owner used to hold the cover on gave up the ghost. I'm starting One Hundred Years Of Solitude, as I have not yet been able to buy Infinite Jest.
and it was so much easier to find the Archer episode than it was to find the story with the line about saying goodbye to the 20th century.
One woman had

on her arm. Yeah? Welcome to the 21st century, chump.
Another woman had
reconcile
Good idea.
They should both be in a kind of cursive-ish font. If they aren't, it's you, not livejournal.
A guy had the word peace in Sanskrit, which Google Translate does not have.
In Hindi, peace is शांति (Śānti). I'm sure it's the same thing. It's also a good idea.
He also had a seahorse, a mermaid, an elephant thing by some artist who's name I can't remember, and a periodic table of the elements in the human body, a turnip, and a star. The five pointed kind, black, not the possibly oblate sphere fusing hydrogen into helium, most commonly red but sometimes yellow, white, or blue.
Another woman had a treble clef surrounded by abstract designs, a phoenix made from abstract bits, and a flower.
With her was a red-haired woman who was scooping up goose poop with a red plastic cup and a woman with short hair, part of it shaven off to reveal a scar. I did a portrait of her. Along with a bunch of other people.
She didn't want anyone to drink from the makeshift pooper scooper but she did want to keep it around to toss poop at people who annoyed her. I say throw it at the people who put their chairs in front of people on towels, especially when visual spectacle is involved.
I keep thinking Anna's Taquiera disappeared, when in reality, it's simply a lot closer to Charles/MGH than I thought it was. Every time I do that.
There's a place called Seoul. Naming it after the capital of Worst Korea doesn't fill me with much confidence. It should be Pyongyang, which would imply that you're getting Best Korean food from Best Korea. Though in real life, they eat dust and garbage in Pyongyang. Maybe some dead brachiopods as well.
Dust and garbage...
I think a restaurant called Pyongyang would serve durians and only durians.
Or for the cheap substitute, collect some overripe bananas, throw in some aioli and a lot of dead mollusks and brachiopods. Or who knows?
I've said enough about Cambrian fauna. Cuba may be like moving back in time but it's not that far. George Gershwin went to Cuba before the absolute blocade, and wrote a piece called Rumba, and then thought about it for a while and rechristened it Cuban Overture, which is silly, as it's not actually an overture to anything.
Zombie Jamboree was a song before it was a painting and a painting before it was an entry, it's a rather cheery calypso and doesn't really evoke OMG ZOMBIES. Look up the version by The Spinners. The one I saw was instrumental. It reminds me of the music in Fantasy Zone.
La noche de los Mayas was excerpts from a film score, based around Mayan instruments. Noche de Yucatan was a love theme, of all things, and Noche de encantamiento was the music for the sacrifice, which was an odd choice of titles. It sounded to me like the golem battle music from Vagrant Story, with the sound of a conch.
En memoria de Chano Pozo was by David Amram, who worked with Dizzy Gillespie.
Viaje featured two new sets of dances, from Brazil and Venezuela.
See Tango Interrupted for my thoughts on that.
There wasn't any tango.
On the train ride home, there was a woman who looked like Tina Belcher.
burning question: Why… would we… invade… Bermuda?
