Rude tongue, not provocative tongue (though it's hard to tell). - Kamilah Reed (K. Gill)

:P - Stephen Mack

Yes. - Kamilah Reed (K. Gill)

$380, but I *really* want this set. It looks great. It covers almost everything. My dream is to make a full color series of books about food around the world, one to cover each country (maybe grouping together the really tiny ones). I want the series to be about food, art, and other fun things, not so much dry and boring history type stuff. DK comes close to making what I'm looking for. - Kamilah Reed (K. Gill) from Bookmarklet

I got the set today, early. It really is great. So much detail. If you're into food and/or travel/geography, I highly recommend it. I guarantee you will learn new things from it. - Kamilah Reed (K. Gill)

This is my second painting about the word "shadow". I included the chocolate shadow cake that I baked from scratch, and, this time, the CD case for Endtroducing... by DJ Shadow. The Carmel Clay Public Library sticker is visible on the CD case. - Kamilah Reed (K. Gill) from Bookmarklet

Hey hey, just sold another painting! Great way to start the day :) - Kamilah Reed (K. Gill)

I knew of him mostly for his stuffed animal sculptures. "Los Angeles-based artist Mike Kelley (born Detroit 1954) passed away from apparent suicide in a state of depression, according to Helene Winer of Metro Pictures Gallery in New York. Kelley was represented by Metro Pictures for twenty years before showing with Gagosian since the early 2000s. His work often dealt with found objects and abjection, from sculptures and collages to performance and video, coined “clusterfuck aesthetics” by Jerry Saltz after his 2005 show, Day is Done. Kelley was also a proponent of punk, having been in bands throughout college, ‘Destroy All Monsters’ at the University of Michigan, and ‘Poetics’ at the California Institute of the Arts." - Kamilah Reed (K.

"In this book, the Times and TASCHEN bring together updated and new versions of "36 Hours" columns in 150 U.S. and Canadian locations, from the great urban centers on everyone’s travel list to surprising locales with undiscovered character and charm." This sounds like a good book. I have used the 36 Hours columns before, and they usually have a good tip or two. They even had a column for Indianapolis (not sure if it's included in the book). I knew about many of the tips already, but I still appreciated the coverage. - Kamilah Reed (K. Gill) from Bookmarklet

I only found it because I saw it on the shelf at the Chapters bookstore while we were visiting Vancouver. It's too bad that we don't have any thorough bookstores anymore in the Indianapolis area. It's hard to browse for books electronically. I've been finding local restaurants that make many of the dishes mentioned in the book. - Kamilah Reed (K. Gill) from Bookmarklet

"Briefly: Lana Del Rey is the singer-songwriter who recently appeared on Saturday Night Live. Ms. Rey’s performance, generally deemed awful at best, was subject to widespread and withering critical bashing (including NBC’s own Brian Williams). Ms. Del Rey is no stranger to controversy; long story short, she’s a failed pop singer who got lip injections, changed her name, and now has a great backstory about living in a trailer that makes her New Jersey Chanteuse schtick as Urban Outfitters-ready as a pair of tight Levi’s." - Kamilah Reed (K. Gill) from Bookmarklet

Thanks to Rodfather's other post, I just remembered that the song I knew and liked well enough by Lana was "Blue Jeans". - Kamilah Reed (K. Gill)

It is frighteningly popular with commenters on hunch.com (but unpopular in hunch's ratings). http://hunch.com/item... - Kamilah Reed (K. Gill)

I'm worked up, so, yeah. And I have some reasons to be concerned about baby names right now. It's just reached that point. I've gotten fed up with certain things. Really, fuck this. Stupid internet. I'm not "taking time away from the internet" because I can't deal with it anymore, I'm just giving the internet a middle finger in general for making me look like an asshole just because of a few over-sensitive people. I don't like to be an asshole, but some people make it too damned easy to be one. - Kamilah Reed (K. Gill)

I have sold art on eBay before, as well as on Etsy. - Kamilah Reed (K. Gill)

have you ever tried Pişmaniye? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... - Halil

No, I haven't. That looks interesting. I wonder if our local Turkish restaurants might have some? - Kamilah Reed (K. Gill)

I just removed it to make that part neutral. Google doesn't need to know whether I'm male or female. Did anyone else check that link out and have Google guess the wrong gender? I'm guessing that "male" gets guessed incorrectly more often than "female". I have a rough idea what the female stereotypical profile might look like... they probably assume more shopping, clothes, fashion, baby and child stuff, maybe food and dieting. Here's the link to check, if you have that turned on: http://t.co/hSxzJaPf - Kamilah Reed (K. Gill)

They won't admit they know I exist. (3rd-party cookies always disabled) - £og€x AKA Tinfoil 2.0

They're making more even as we speak. However, irregular verbs seem to be going out of style, so there's that. - Moody (Sweet FA 4 Life)

I think I would avoid using "indite" just because people might assume it was a misspelling. It made me go look it up immediately. I think that the writer was trying to be a little fancy. (This was on The Rumpus.) - Kamilah Reed (K. Gill)

In case anyone is wondering, no, we won't be going to the Super Bowl. We probably won't go anywhere near downtown while it's here. Harold is even working from home for the duration. We're treating the zone like an Indy 500 but worse. - Kamilah Reed (K. Gill) from Bookmarklet

Actually, we're sort of considering going downtown this weekend to see some of the stuff that's been set up. This weekend is the recommended time for locals to go check it out. But that depends on the weather. We'd probably have to park far away and walk into downtown. We'd be studiously avoiding all the parking meters, since they've been messed up by private ownership recently and like to rip people off. (My mom is one who got ripped off.) - Kamilah Reed (K.

The first comment covers one of the things that has made me increasingly disgusted with the internet lately: "Giving everyone a voice was part of the design (or fallout) of the internet. The problem is, most of that cacophony should never make it out of the person's head in the first place, at least not in a public, searchable setting." Read the full comment for more about that. It's good for everyone to have a voice when they need it, but 90% of the time that's abused because, as another comment puts it, "the default human setting is 'asshole'". - Kamilah Reed (K. Gill) from Bookmarklet

I did think that "default human setting is 'asshole'" was a little extreme, though it had a great ring to it. I don't think *I'm* an asshole, or you're an asshole, or that most of the people I know are assholes. However, I see asshole behavior online and offline all the time, and I do think an awful lot of people are dull, conventional, and pretty oblivious to what's going on around them. (I'll admit to being kind of a misanthrope sometimes, which makes me a little bit of an asshole, I guess.) - Kamilah Reed (K. Gill)

Now I want one! - Katy S

It even gives the etymology "Arabic dialect (Levant) kibba", so KIB-uh makes sense. There's no easy "report errors" button that I can see... such a messy site. I might just have to say it as a Facebook comment. That's what I ended up doing. http://www.merriam-webster.com/diction... - Kamilah Reed (K. Gill)

Kibbeh had to be canceled today. Al Basha was closed unexpectedly :( - Kamilah Reed (K. Gill) from iPhone

I found the photo that this painting is based on when I searched for "muebles" (furniture in Spanish) on Twitter in early January 2012. I have included the accompanying tweet in the painting. The Twitpic link to the photo works. My goal was to capture in a more permanent form one of the billions of fleeting moments shared through words and images online. They are more impermanent than snapshots, usually seen by only a few people before they are cast off and forgotten. The man in the photo seems to be checking his smart phone while he is surrounded by what appear to be treasured antiques (an old electric fan, and possibly an old-fashioned washing machine), so this records the moment of time that we live in. I randomly chose to search for a tweet in Spanish. I like to use different languages for the texts in my paintings so that I can communicate with more people. "Muebles para Nuestra Nueva Casa" translates as "furniture for our new house". - Kamilah Reed (K. Gill) from Bookmarklet
