A sophisticated conversation about Fred Sandback (edited for readability)

alxfitzgerald
did they say how they do it?
that is the mySterI
although it'd probably be really easy to figure out how to do it

Júlía
mysterl?
oh
mysteri
haha

alxfitzgerald
hahahah

Júlía
I was like "is that some special kind of string"

alxfitzgerald
it's just acrylic yarn

Júlía
no I'm referring to mySterl

alxfitzgerald
oh hahahaha
YES
like Yves Klein had his own blue
Fred Sandback had mySterI

Júlía
yes
did you send me this? "why does Fred Sandback's work make me cry"

alxfitzgerald
I think I did a few months ago
he made me feel really satisfied

Júlía
sexually

alxfitzgerald
he was actually kind of sexy

Júlía
haha
no I really liked it a lot
there is definitely a kind of feeling it evoked
like "yes."
I am really mature in my emotions and vocabulary, I know.

CAR FACE

Last night Andrew and I had a good party. Before that Jói and I went to the opening of this Michel Gondry show at Deitch Projects. On display were the sets from his upcoming movie which I am now even more excited to see because now I've been in it. It's about people who have a video store but all their TAPES go blank so they have to act out and record all the movies themselves. here's michel gondry pretending that the trailer went blank and acting it out himself.



later lots of other people came over and we played games. game night works like this: jews give points to jews, icelandic people give points to icelandic people, gays give points to their boyfriends, and despite giving each other points icelandic people loose anyway because they're foreign. everyone has fun anyway because they're drunk.

we also watched this,



Possibly my all time favorite kids' film; All dogs go to heaven (1989) is the reason why I grew up to like a) good films b) really fucked up films. All dogs go to heaven is a really fucked up kids' film about gangsters, violence, murder, intoxication, gambling, heaven, hell, poor people, and other fucked up things. But everyone is a dog. There is a Burt Reynolds dog and a jewish dog and a dog named car face. but there is also a giant homosexual singing alligator who eats people and there is a little orphan girl. Jói kept saying that the little girl had sexy legs. the little girl is supposed to be like 6 years old.

the actress who voiced the part of the little girl was 10 years old when the movie was made. she was also 10 years old when she was shot and killed by her fucked up father. this was her final film and that makes the film even more sad and fucked up.

I don't know why I'm awake at 9 the morning after I get drunk and stay up late. I think I was too thirsty to sleep. Now I'm going to wait for the other people in the world to wake up.
