yesterday was john lennon's birthday, and i forgot. :(

the cramps performing at a metal hospital.

i live my life on the edge, baby!

so, it's friday night, and i am already in my jammies (tonight being a smiths shirt and a pair of chris' boxers), drinking good coffee, and watching david lynch short films on turner classic movies. my man and my cat are snuggled up together on the other sofa. it just doesn't get much better than this...actually, the cat just came over and plopped down on my chest. so hey, it did get better! awww, she's a happy girl. she's purring like crazy...i think she likes blogging. she even picked out these links for you:

LSD videos. (via boing boing. gertie likes boing boing.)

targeting john lennon.

retrocrush archive. WELL worth the time spent.

we're doing this harry bertoia exhibit opening tomorrow night. should be cool. i met his son val once, years ago. the post secret thing is still at our local museum as well, which is pretty spiffy. word around the campfire is that because of linking to post secret on my old site forever ago, someone i know at the museum got the exhibit to come here. woot!

bob dylan and john lennon, all messed up in a taxi (1966)

or maybe it's a limo, i don't know...i have this on video; bob actually gets sick at the end.

new hoff! NEW HOFF!!

poor hoff! POOR HOFF!!

Words are flying out like endless rain into a paper cup,
They slither while they pass, they slip away across the universe.
Pools of sorrow waves of joy are drifting through my open mind,
Possessing and caressing me.
Jai Guru De Va Om
Nothing’s gonna change my world
Nothing’s gonna change my world.
Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes,
That call me on and on across the universe,
Thoughts meander like a restless wind
Inside a letter box they
Tumble blindly as they make their way
Across the universe
Jai Guru De Va Om
Nothing’s gonna change my world
Nothing’s gonna change my world.
Sounds of laughter shades of earth are ringing
Through my open views inciting and inviting me.
Limitless undying love which shines around me like a million suns,
It calls me on and on across the universe
Jai Guru De Va Om
Nothing’s gonna change my world
Nothing’s gonna change my world...

There's always something cooking and nothing in the pot

so, i do these monthly artsy-crafty workshops with kids once a month at the museum in my city. the next one coming up is on october 9th, which i immediately recognized as john lennon's birthday. ahhhh, i thought. i'll do a john lennon project! i even told some parents that i would be doing that, and they got so excited.

i am totally shocked that i cannot find a single john-realted art project on the internet. nothing, nada, zip, zilch! and i just can't think of anything cool to do. so i am taking suggestions. i was thinking of having kids draw something in that john style, and we could listen to his music the whole time, but...meh. there's gotta be a better idea that. help me!!
