1,4 * moon Leo * Art * I love. * FL Jones’ “Life Goes On”

quick dream today: someone has keyed about half my eMac screen [yikes!] with some sort of name/moniker.

(yesterday quick dream: the creative manager emerges from behind a closed door and is swiftly booted. quite shocking, if perhaps pleasing)

Waitin’ - in pain or gain

so they say it’s ready to roll… we’ll see what’s what next week at Apple’s special product announcement. Feeling I may still get into a Treo 650 for now as I’m interested in a PDA AND Phone. I have a music player, though the Treo can have a card that holds some musics… we shall see. Still very exciting… (DIck tracy watch + superduper-level PDA for my birthday 2008?)

Really dug this professor’s report of spending a year as an undergrad. It’s funny what we think we know and what experience (aka reality in others’ shoes) gives us.

“…the median age for new infections is around 40…”
WHOA! Find this very curious, though not totally surprising. The juxtaposition with gay retirement communities really comes to me looking back at this piece now. * As we (slowly) peek ahead, I wonder how american queers AND boomers may move us around age(ism). (Perhaps this is too embedded in the greater Western world though…?)
“I know that we are beyond the place where any traditional prevention campaign will be effective.”
Glad someone else said it. Now, let’s be a lil sassy, if not radical, and move on this!
“Albeit in all the wrong places and all the wrong ways, these guys are basically looking for love.”
Sometimes, I wonder if we say this too generally, and often, overlooking how connection, community, open feelings, and sharing can curb this wave. As well, a number of prevention outfits seem to solidly prove this over and over again, not that this is an agenda item of the Right to support. Be curious to see smart arguments from elsewhere about why we need to address the easier ills and so of today’s world, so we might collectively move on to the next items.

I just have to laugh at the power of celebrity, particularly with The Clintons. Do what you will, Hillary, and make sure they come correct.

Not the storyline I’m after, yet something in the grit, everydayness (plus the menz in uniform) has me thinking about this as something to go after in terms of ‘lead cars’ tv writing-wise. (Well, if i’m gonna do a daygig, plus the syndication money can be better than movies…)

There are few better places to make peace with the waning of summer evenings than at P.S. 1 in Long Island City, Queens, inside JAMES TURRELL’s ethereal permanent exhibit called “MEETING.” This Saturday is the last day for a while that you can count on visiting the work, a room with a retractable ceiling and subtly hidden lights, in which viewers can sit or lie down and watch - weather permitting - as the rectangle of sky above them shades from bright blue to purple to deep black; after Saturday, the room is only open when the sunset, the museum’s hours and clement weather coincide. Mr. Turrell calls such works spyspaces and has said his intention is for people “to pay attention to the thingness and revelation of light.” Visitors are allowed to enter about half an hour before sunset, which this Saturday will be about 7:30. 22-25 Jackson Avenue, at 46th Avenue, (718) 784-2084, $8.
