still quite sober

i was shocked to see this in the window of St. Marks. i dropped the $19.50 because wow! it took me two weeks to sit down with it because just flipping made me sink into deep homesickness. but. while i appreciate the effort, the best parts were Corine Vermeulen's photo series (see my post), the Carhartt article, and Vaughn Taormina's quote "So if you think Detroit is a shit hole, fair enough, but we think your city feels like a shopping mall."

the Queen is dead

son of a taxi driver and school teacher, Alexander McQueen never gave an interview i didn't like. i'm sorry he was too sad to think ahead of the pain. R.I.P. Lee/Alexander McQueen. self-made, destructed.

i'm rewatching the first season of Carnivale and loving it even more now that i already know what's going on. i hear that was its problem with not going to #3, but i can't see how a show so unique conceptually and visually could die unfinished, but alas. if you like the styles of the Depression and carnies as much as i do, it's parfait.



and it has the best opening sequence i've still ever seen:
