Summer camp and [livejournal.com profile] zip4096-visits

So yesterday, I had dinner with Brett and Martin, and we saw the film Drawing Restraint 9, by that Matthew Barney fellow, co-featuring, and with music by, Björk. (they're apparently married, and they make a cute couple.) In retrospect, there's a definite story happening, but at first it seems like just a bunch of unusual images, mostly of Japanese people working hard and doing things with great care and precision. But it turns out to be more about ceremony and religious rites... and it's sort of about whales, or at least what people think about whales. I think you'd feel strongly about it (you might even like it!), if you see it. I spent about twenty continuous minutes wincing, towards the end. In a good way.

Also! We hung out and played video games and stuff! It's always exciting to get to see Brett!

Also also! Summer camp starts in an hour! Hooray for summer camp! Also today is the first day of AFDC summer ultimate season!

Matthew Barney! And Brett! And Martin! Whoo!

Brett introduced me to Matthew Barney via his Cremaster Cycle, some time ago at FSU. I only saw about 1/6th of it I think...and that was like 5 hours long or something. It was great!

Do you know what the Cremaster muscle controls?

HAhaha! Oh yes, I really appreciated you seeing that with me :) We saw the longest one, hahaha. Remember the cars crushing the one car?

I miss you G, for serious. If'n you ever make it up to the ATL give me a holla!
