babies like that water.

By christa 24 September, 2006 random

I have an assload of candles. jesus. how did that happen.

and a fuck lot of magazines. not one magazine shy of an entire fuck lot.

I wonder if I could fashion up a piece of art with all those candles and mags and then get it in a museum, like all that weird modern shit that ends up there, and everyone will go by and think “wtf? I can do that. I can totally do that. how did that get in the mfa?” wait, wait! that could be the art! the people walking by Horses, At the Pond (the name of my artwork duh) and their thoughts. ooohh. since I can’t very well make real people be the art, how about life size plaster humans and pose them all around my candizines and make their faces surreal and crazy and naked too because naked always wind up the museum. and when you walk by one of the fake people, it sets off a sensor and you hear the person’s thought, in a wispy eerie voice.

I’m doing it.

    Oh, CJ, the primary difference between you & the “artists” you’re making fun of now is that when they said “fuck it, I’m doing it”, they weren’t kidding.

    Like the guy who invented 10socks.com; any one of us could have come up with that idea. It’s all in the follow through.

    I could be awarded umm..awards, with the kind of follow through that I lack. It’s stunning.

    You and your candles, Christa dahling! I remember when we lived together and you were working at Pier 1 and went candle crazy, didnt you end up spending like half your paycheck on candles or did you do the finger finger discount? I cant remember now. I am a candle freak as well, think most chicks are. I’ve given up on Dollar Store candles though, they suck! Fred Meyer actually has some really good ones. Great movie to check out ‘The Science of Sleep’ just fyi!
