rain, kittens and an article on murakami takashi

rain. rain....rain..............grey skies............................overcast......................cloudy................................ rain.........cloudy..............................rain................cold......................................rain............................cold..........

did i mention that i haven't seen the sun for, oh, about two and a half weeks? and that it's been really cold. *it's killin' me, folks. it's killin' me. whatever happened to spring?

kittens are growing fast, eyes are open and they are wobbling around their box checking out the dark distant corners. every so often one of them falls out of the box and can't get over the flap to get back in and all hell breaks loose. enough squawking to wake the neighbours. which is not a good thing since my neighbours are my landlords who i haven't quite gotten around to telling yet. i don't think i will ever quite get around to it.... but then they'll probably work it out on their own anyway, soon enough. it's gonna be noisy.

tomorrow night is marc's farewell party, he has another 2 days of teaching left. he just got an article published at http://www.lab71.org/ (go to the cute manga mouse head image link) and also in a very glossy art literature magazine published in canada. FACING DEFORMATION: CHARACTER COMMODITIES, MURAKAMI TAKASHI, and our POSTHUMAN CONDITION by Marc Steinberg. cool, huh. it's been a fairly social week, tonight was the first time i ate dinner at home.
