Hot Fossils and Rebel Matters 147 – Can Art Teach Patience?

 

S-Curve by Anish Kapoor

There are lessons that Anish Kapoor’s art have to teach us.  “His pieces force you to be really patient…”, said one visitor assistant at the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston. You can’t just breeze through his exhibit to get a taste of his work.  You have to wait for his work to affect its magic on you.  Optical and aural illusions surprise and delight the gallery visitors to this show.  Join Ninja and Special K as they try to  help you experience the pieces through their own descriptions and from the gallery volunteers and other visitors.

Hot Fossils and Rebel Matters 146 – Hacktivists at Pride

Ninja didn’t exactly expect to run into members of Anonymous during Pride but since she did and had her interest piqued by their handsome Guy Fawkes masks, she decided to talk to a few of them.   But before she shares the interviews, she provides a bit of background first.  She really intended to have Special K in the studio, but once again got carried away in the moment and excitement of her own particular agenda.

Happiness? I Don’t Need No Stinkin’ Happiness

I left a comment on Leesa Barnes blog : http://www.leesabarnes.com/happiness-is-a-choice-not-an-emotion/ after she called for all of us to write about happiness.  Happiness is completely overrated.  Don’t you think?  It’s a scam – it’s something the priests and rabbis and American revolutionaries say you should pursue at all costs. Why?  Why can’t I be miserable?  I love my misery. I love my pain. 

Yeah well this is what I wrote:

“Three percent of the world’s population (check snopes and wikipedia – do not trust ninja) are naturally happy. Money or good health apparently have nothing to do with it. Just gobs and gobs of serotonin jumping from neuron to neuron I imagine. For the rest of us happiness is choice. And for everything else – of course – there’s mastercard.

Not to diminish any of the other comments, but we women are famous for believing that doing for others makes us happy – that going within and finding our inner strength and loving ourselves are the keys. The men of the species don’t have to bother with all that because, at any age, a red sports car and a looker on their arm is sufficient to make them happy. They really know how to live in the moment don’t they? (at least 3% of them anyway). I kind of like being a curmudgeon – that’s what makes me happy.”

Leesa made me happy tonight because she gave me this opportunity to gush about my despair.
