happy 40th anniversary, apollo 11!
too many youtubes, not enough time YOUS GUYS
i just want to salute that round disc in the sky that gives us light on days when it's shinin' bright. tonights a new moon, so we'll have to bow to it all yoga-style once it comes back.
THE best thing i can recommend to any of you who love short stories is this:
italo calvino's cosmicomics. the first chapter is a tiny story about the moon's gravitational pull being so close that humans used to climb ladders to the bottom of the moon and catch moon milk. its a fantastic read and one of my all-time faves, especially pertaining to this word of the week we call "moon."
i dont exactly have a song o' the week, but ill leave you with the sculpture of the week?! same thing... purdy much...
this is by bruce nauman, titled my name as though it were written on the surface of the moon, 1968. neon sign. how appropriate, since apollo 11 was just a year later!
and, so wait, we did have an artist of the week on word play-- RAHIM QUAZI! he's a singer/songwriter from the DFW area, and he actually suggested the word of the day be "moonlight." little did you all know that rahim himself has some songs with material covering the ole satellite in the sky, so i hope you all enjoyed the "apollo" and "she talks to moonlight" songs! check him out if youre ever in the dallas / grapevine area-- it is HIGHLY highly wordplay-recommend. stamp of approval GRADE A MEAT.
thats alls i got for this week,
keeeeeeeeelleeeeeeeeeeeeennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
