René & Radka, Colors of the Wind
You know, that’s not the best story when I tell you that the guy I went on an “interview session” with last night is married to his friend, the 60-something-year-old former airline stewardess living next door to him, so that she can share his insurance benefits.
Isn’t that sweet?
He did make it clear that anytime he finds “the one” she’s fine with getting an annulment “because obviously we haven’t consummated our relationship. Look at me. I’m gay.”
We’ll see how that Sicilian swordfish dish is.
So last night, I had not a first date but an “interview session” (as he called it) around a park that I didn’t remember being so big. A it’s so large with so many trails and so many benches. It’s like rediscovering my hometown.
He’s nice. He invited me over for dinner Thursday night and is preparing a swordfish dish he got from a Sicilian friend. (Dinner!!!)
But the park and I have all kinds of plans.
The Wanderers by Bonnie Jo Stufflebeam
Went to a local art collective’s performance night a couple of weeks ago. Among the music, shadow puppetry, stand-up comedy, and readings, Bonnie Jo Stufflebeam read the beginning of this story about a violent alien people who assume a kinship with the people of the U.S.A. because they’ve seen all the violence in our entertainment culture.

"(about female superheroes) Toymakers will tell you they won’t sell enough, and movie people will point to the two terrible superheroine movies that were made and say, You see? It can’t be done. It’s stupid, and I’m hoping The Hunger Games will lead to a paradigm shift. It’s frustrating to me that I don’t see anybody developing one of these movies. It actually pisses me off. My daughter watched The Avengers and was like, ‘My favorite characters were the Black Widow and Maria Hill,’ and I thought, Yeah, of course they were. I read a beautiful thing Junot Diaz wrote: ‘If you want to make a human being into a monster, deny them, at the cultural level, any reflection of themselves.’ (on whats next for him)And back to the female-hero thing, I’m not going to let nobody do it. It doesn’t have to be me, but it could be."

Various works by Takara Kaori
Many of Takara Kaori’s minimalistic works depict faceless individuals in both scenes of everyday life and settings that appear slightly surreal, confronting anonymity while allowing the spectator to vicariously experience the quiet scenery.
