today i saw a van for CONTEMPORARY MEDICAL EQUIPMENT

on the back, the following text:

-WHEELCHAIRS
-BATHROOM SAFETY
-AIDS to DAILY LIVING

man, i got this big ol' box today and now i don't want to break it down, because really, shouldn't i have a use for a big box? i'm sure i do. i must. it seems like such a waste to recycle it. would it even fit in the recycle thing? it's not quite a fridge box, so i can't make a kick-ass fort, house, or even transmogrifier, but boy it could sure hold a lot of stuff. However, then I would have a huge ugly box that would have to go somewhere. I do have a basement..but then, why don't i just take several smaller boxes down there?

Hey, I sound like a real blog today! Honest to blog! So for now, i have a big cardboard box chillin' in the middle of my living room. perhaps that's what it was meant for?

n-e-wayz. here i am, updating this without a purpose. Um. what's up?

Here's an awesome story that I blatantly stole from zig_mover:

n the 90s, a group of conceptual artists used polling data to determine music's most unappealing aspects and then combined all those aspects together. A description of the finished product:

The most unwanted music is over 25 minutes long, veers wildly between loud and quiet sections, between fast and slow tempos, and features timbres of extremely high and low pitch, with each dichotomy presented in abrupt transition. The most unwanted orchestra was determined to be large, and features the accordion and bagpipe (which tie at 13% as the most unwanted instrument), banjo, flute, tuba, harp, organ, synthesizer (the only instrument that appears in both the most wanted and most unwanted ensembles). An operatic soprano raps and sings atonal music, advertising jingles, political slogans, and "elevator" music, and a children's choir sings jingles and holiday songs. The most unwanted subjects for lyrics are cowboys and holidays, and the most unwanted listening circumstances are involuntary exposure to commercials and elevator music. Therefore, it can be shown that if there is no covariance--someone who dislikes bagpipes is as likely to hate elevator music as someone who despises the organ, for example--fewer than 200 individuals of the world's total population would enjoy this piece.

here's the Most Unwanted Song. One however can't forget to listen to The Most Wanted Song in the World.

we are still looking for talented and hungry musicians and artists. please pass this on to people you think might be interested :]

Search for collaborating musicians

Absurd Reality Theatre is taking on its biggest project to date: Angels in America, Part I: Millennium Approaches, by Tony Kushner. The show will be performed from July 24-August 9 at the Seattle Rep Poncho Forum.

ART’s biggest goal and theme of this project is to bring the artistic scene together – to work with as many people as possible. In doing so, Shane Regan, co-Music Director for the project, has asked for local musicians to contribute music to underscore and soundtrack the entire show. This project is a great chance for every artist to expand their audience and flex their creative muscles.

As a growing, non-profit theatre company, ART has been part of the Seattle theatre scene for 3 years, and is hoping to expand the scene by including other groups. Strength in numbers, strength in artists.

Auditions for ANGELS IN AMERICA, PART I: MILLENNIUM APPROACHES

Angels in America: Millennium Approaches by Tony Kushner. Where: The Poncho Forum in The Seattle Repertory Theatre, 155 Mercer. When: July 24th (with previews the week before) through August 9th at 7 or 7:30 (?)pm. Tony Kushner once said in an interview "The question is: are we made by history or do we make history? And the answer is: yes." Seattle needs a purging of the depressions, a lift, a shove. We have been made from history, and now we will MAKE some. With Angels in America, A.R.T. seeks to bring companies together. This production is the bullhorn, the platform for a new era in Seattle Theatre; One where companies collaborate instead of isolating themselves, one where we march together. In times as unsettling as these, we need to work effectively to instigate change. Angels in America is about dealing with illness and death, and out of that, rebuilding something strong and new from the debris. All we need is a will, a passion, HOPE, and each other. Tony Kushner said that he wanted to see how wide a community’s embrace could reach. We are addressing ourselves as extensively as we can to build a common cause between different groups.

This is what happens when an accomplished film director and a group from the Seattle fringe theater community set out to make an Internet serial show!

WHAT THE FUNNY is an eleven part comedic series about a comedy theater troupe in Seattle. Witty and well written, the show is evocative of "The Office" and proves director Lynn Shelton's strength with comedies.

Created by Wayne Rawley (MONEY AND RUN) and shot by Ben Kasulke (BRAND UPON THE BRAIN!), it showcases Seattle acting talent, including Darragh Keenan, Shannon Kipp, and Richard Lefebvre. Also, Shane Regan and Brandon Ryan! Produced by Caution Zero Network.

Saturday, March 1 at 8pm at the NORTHWEST FILM FORUM (1515 12th Ave.) this will definitely sell out, so get yer tickets in advance! http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/29385

See hilarious episodes, like this one!
