Report the bastards in NYC who aren’t supporting their local artists (and us national ones that have to — GASP — fly into New York if we want to visit a certified white cube) with stipends or subsidies when they ask for our artwork in their galleries.

I think this thing runs 24 / 7. Live puppies sleeping and cuddling. Yet another thing to distract me from my work.

LET SLEEPING DOGS LIE

I had some trouble with my credit due to someone else’s social security number being on my credit report. Don’t worry folks, I’m fine, it’s just my financial spirit that took a beating. I’d like to outline to you here what went wrong, and how I dealt with the credit bureau. I have to type up this report for my records anyways!

(Above artwork by Dan Perjovschi — one of my favorites from the Venice Biennale 2007. More on him later).

Read along if you’re struggling to deal with Experian.

WalkScore.com’s website provides a service to those people who apparently don’t get out of their car enough to realize that they can walk (or not, if you live in certain areas) to lots of places for daily goods and services.
I like this website, namely because I’m about to move and thinking about a new city and where we can get the things we’re used to here in Polish Hill (which scored a 77 out of 100, btw): A fresh bread bakery, a good bar, a fish deli, an italian deli, an italian cafe, a great diner, a wholesale restaurant dealer, a classic 1920’s ice cream shop, a fabulous deli restaurant, several paint stores, a convenience store, several large parks, a city pool, a church, asian food markets, masseuse, yoga studios, a stipper club (I think — never been to Bare Elegance), and some cool boutiques/stores — and we don’t even live in one of the sanctioned ‘cool’ areas of Pittsburgh.
