Finally -- the prayers of discriminating cannibals have been answered!
Hufu -- the "healthy human flesh alternative" has arrived. Yeah, so it's backordered right now but don't let that stop you from visiting www.eathufu.com today.
my jewelry box is a flood of memories
each trinket the symbol of a special day shared with you
every baubble passionately chosen to convey a love
the words could not
no matter how many times you said them
(oh, their echo still so fresh inside my ears)
I could only guess at the explosion that rocked your heart
Now I hold cold metal instead of your vibrant hand
shine its surface with cheap tears.

Style of the Streets
Picked up this recommendation for The Wooster Collective's website from Utne's weekly webwatch.
The point seems to be a celebration of street art. Lots to look at, though I was particularly drawn to this submission by Adam Neate for some reason.
Other attractions include: insiders' guide to cities around the world, and a infinately surfable list of links to recommended artists sites, blogs and magazines.
Two book collections of black and white artwork are available for sale. Including HOLLYWOOD: THE REMIX and (The Book) Sherbert & Wooster Collective Coloring Book.
The coolest feature, however, may be the groovy wallpapers available for download by Cingular customers and maybe another provider as well.
I especially liked the work of Fung Wee Lin. Nick Walker's stuff was pretty cool, too.
Hatred is Not Genetic
Saw these chickadees in last month's BUST magazine. Beware! It's the ultimate freak out.
Whose Socially Constructed Reality Is It Anyway?
This is an intriguing article about The Sims and its social implications, etc. I've only played the gameboy version of Sims in the City, so there's a limit to how intense the game can get. Now that I see how endless the possibilites are, I'm kind of relieved to have had the restrictions.
Sociological Striptease
Challenging the statement "Clothes make the man," The Museum of Sex opened a new exhibit this week.
"Men Without Suits" addresses objectification of the male body from classical Greece to the 21st Century.
Parental Rights
You may have to register to read this Philadelphia Inquirer article by theatre critic Douglas J. Keating, but if you're interested in the topic of how much say the playwright should have over unintended interpretations of his or her play, it's worth the hassle.
Bottom's Up
Forgive me blogger for I have been negligent. It's been almost a month since my last posting.
I'll make a post today for each week I've been away.
Starting with this referral...
I adore this story I read last week in the online version of Barrelhouse Magazine.
