Gail’s Rad Adventure at the Guggenheim Museum!

Spiritual America is at the Guggenheim through January 9, 2008

The first snow of the season fell on NYC overnight and this morning, honestly, it was absolutely gorgeous outside! Before the lovely pristine blanket of white could transform into grey slush and filthy mounds flecked with soot and dog feces, I decided to bundle up like an Eskimo and enjoy one of the greatest simple pleasures of life in New York City: a Sunday trip to the Guggenheim Museum.

The Guggenheim currently features a career retrospective of American artist Richard Prince, and his work is just fantastic. I laughed my ass off at a lot of his “Joke” canvases, avoided slipping into a “Museum Coma” and was back downtown in Union Square in time to do a little Holiday shopping at the crafts market. Read more about the exhibit and see photos of some of Prince’s featured work below. Spiritual America runs through January 9, 2008.

Happy Thanksgiving 2007!

Guilty Bastard

Yes, I realize that OJ is actually holding a carved ham, but it is the spirit of bad taste and political incorrectness I’m trying to capture!

SOUTHAMPTON COUNTY – A worker at a peanut factory was found dead beneath a pile of peanuts on Tuesday afternoon. The Southampton County Sheriff’s Department has not yet released the name of the man, who worked at the Severn Peanut Company in Newsoms, VA. The man’s co-workers noticed him missing around noon on Tuesday. After searching for about two hours, they found him buried under a large pile of peanuts. He was pronounced dead at the scene. The case is under investigation, and a spokesman for the sheriff’s department said it was unclear how the man ended up under the pile of peanuts.

Halloween Zombie Mistaken for Murder Victim

Mon Oct 29, 8:48 AM ET

BERLIN (Reuters) – Passengers on a German train mistook a Halloween reveler dressed up as a gore-covered zombie for a murder victim and called the police.

The 24-year-old man fell into a drunken slumber on his way home from a Halloween party in Hamburg, police in the northern town of Bad Segeberg said on Monday.

Believing his hands and face were smeared with blood, passengers alerted police after getting no response from him.

A first aid team called to the scene soon cleared up the confusion. Police told the man to remove his make-up after which he was allowed to continue his journey.

“Bad Segeberg is in a rural area and Halloween isn’t very well known there,” police spokeswoman Silke Tobies said. “So people weren’t expecting anyone to be dressed up on the train.”

Ten Reasons to See The Darjeeling Limited

Highway robbery at the ticket window be damned, I see a lot of movies in the theater. That’s probably one of the reasons why I can never seem to accumulate more than a dozen films in my Netflix queue at any one time. Because, you know, by the time anything I would want to see gets released on DVD, I’ve already seen it. Continue reading Ten Reasons to See The Darjeeling Limited →
