cooking and culture

I added honey which I don't normally do-also had with it a dish of courgettes, garlic, mint, lemon, dates and almonds that was kind of stupendous (also caramelised carrots, roast potato and raw tomatoes with red onion if you're interested).

I've been watching music oriented movies (Punk:ATtitude, the Miles Davis Story, Sonic Outlaws and Born to Boogie and reading performance books. I still cannot get over the fact that what I do anyway for fun is my school work. I am going to start making lists of what I read and watch and experience on the blog. I feel sort of overwhelmed to have started school. Keeping myself very much to myself 'cos I'm in such inarticulate hyperdrive "in company".

Walter Benjamin's "One Way Street" is a must-read- I bet you've already read it. I feel like he's a new friend, but unfortunately he killed himself in 1940- poor man was a German Jew in his 20s and 30s in the 1920s and 1930s in Germany. Some commentators have the unempathetic audacity to describe him as "triste".

The 20th century can be also most noted for mass exterminations of clever people: Discuss..

I just read New's blog and as well as now trying to figure out how to put music on my blog amd thinking that my response to "Art" is very opposite to his- mine all heart, a little head-hence I don't know if it's appropriate or not to post what I cooked last night on this blog. Or to post this picture- I saw in a gallery window in my neighbourhood a photograph of an old neighbourhood of mine and thought it wouldbe fun to photograph the old next to the new- just then my friend Paul walked up and waved. I don't know if that's interesting or not. I suppose I wonder where life ends and art begins or if it matters. "RealLife Interventions" are what I think I'm most interested in at the mo. That's why I'm at school- My brain wants into the experience- hopefully we can teach each other-as those lazy ol' tutors keep telling us to do. (joke-I know they're not lazy). Also obviously having a good conceptual line and groovy presentation is how to go about getting paid in today's world. N'est-pas..

I think this is also why I was a bit negative about the whole blog concept- aware of my verbal diorrhaea I really don't like to be a bore- I welcome all criticism and advice xoxoxo
