"It's easy to say what may have influenced Mari Sunna's painting; there's a bit of existential stuff such as Munch and Bacon, there's some Luc Tuymans (Tuymans has influenced an absurd number of young artists recently) and there's a bit of exaggerated femininity, which suggests the artist has been taking a close look at Barbie dolls or similar. If Barbie's inner psychic existence could be externalised visually, this might be it. Melancholy, moody and troubled (because of being valued for all the wrong reasons, no doubt), Barbie's compliant appearance is obviously a front for the drugged-out wild child within." - Anna Haro

"...Erwin Olaf's highly-manipulated, stylised series Grief is a case in point. Amid the vinyl and formica of the hairdresser's or ice-cream parlour, mannequin-like figures pose in surreal stasis, refusing to interact, capturing what Olaf calls the "half-second after you receive bad news but before you react". Rockwell-style kitsch, film noir intensity and David Lynch-ian weirdness combine to make ironic, silent melodramas." - Anna Haro

Awesome Anna! I think there are prob some FFers out there like these people. - Josh Haley

for all but the boy scout pic, the phrase "I'm pregnant" is very fitting. actually, if the dog told the boy scout he was pregnant, that would be pretty danged funny.. - grant

"Don't believe the multitasking hype, scientists say. New research shows that we humans aren't as good as we think we are at doing several things at once. But it also highlights a human skill that gave us an evolutionary edge. As technology allows people to do more tasks at the same time, the myth that we can multitask has never been stronger. But researchers say it's still a myth — and they have the data to prove it." - Anna Haro via Bookmarklet

I've know for a long time i'm not good at multitasking. I can hardly even single-tasking unless it's sleeping. - ·[▪_▪]·

Yes! This drives me crazy. People don't multitask. They just switch from task to task very quickly. The difference is subtle but real. Talking about "multitasking" makes it seem like concentration is a bad thing. - Nathan Rein

What's not to *LOVE* about this!!! :) - Emma

"ScienceDaily (Oct. 3, 2008) — Supporting what many of us who are not musically talented have often felt, new research reveals that trained musicians really do think differently than the rest of us. Vanderbilt University psychologists have found that professionally trained musicians more effectively use a creative technique called divergent thinking, and also use both the left and the right sides of their frontal cortex more heavily than the average person." - Anna Haro via Bookmarklet

"Musicians may be particularly good at efficiently accessing and integrating competing information from both hemispheres," Folley said. "Instrumental musicians often integrate different melodic lines with both hands into a single musical piece, and they have to be very good at simultaneously reading the musical symbols, which are like left-hemisphere-based language, and integrating the written music with their own interpretation, which has been linked to the right hemisphere." - Anna Haro

WOW...This is not just another article digging at palin - it is THE article digging at palin and her 'cultural' significance. - Anna Haro via Bookmarklet

"But watching Palin's speech, I had no doubt that I was witnessing a historic, iconic performance. The candidate sauntered to the lectern with the assurance of a sleepwalker — and immediately launched into a symphony of snorting and sneering remarks, taking time out in between the superior invective to present herself as just a humble gal with a beefcake husband and a brood of healthy, combat-ready spawn who just happened to be the innocent targets of a communist and probably also homosexual media conspiracy. She appeared to be completely without shame and utterly full of shit, awing a room full of hardened reporters with her sickly-sweet line about the high-school-flame-turned-hubby who, "five children later," is "still my guy." It was like watching Gidget address the Reichstag." - Roberto Bonini

"The rest of Palin's speech was the same dog-whistle crap Republicans have been railing about for decades. Palin's crack about a mayor being "like a community organizer, except that you have actual responsibilities" testified to the Republicans' apparent belief that they can win elections till the end of time running against the Sixties. (They're probably right.)" - Roberto Bonini

I already have a spot on reserve - Anna Haro

NICE ONE...I guess I better pack some shorts and sunscreen.... - Live4Soccer
