quiz: which art ism are you?

This is just too good not to share, particularly in light of this answer from earlier today.

La seule difference entre moi et un fou, c’est que je ne suis pas fou.”


You Are Surrealism

I Saw Three Cities


Dreamy and idealistic, you’ve created a world that is all your own.
It’s very likely that you’ve either dabbled in drugs or are naturally trippy. You are always trying to push beyond the boundaries of your culture and society.You believe that art, love, and freedom can change the world.

What Art Movement Are You?

the custody battle from hell

This is a dead dog. Just wait for it.Oooooh, this isn’t going to end well.

The short version is:

  • a woman’s dog died at the vet.
  • Someone claiming to be a friend of hers picked it up.
  • Turns out that was no friend; it was her ex-husband.
  • Now she wants the dog back, but he says he’s going to bury it instead, nyeah, nyeah.
  • The charge is larceny.

Thank god some couples don’t have children: they are children.

googlewhack hack attack!

Ever googlewhacked? It’s an activity highly recommended for those slow Saturday nights when you’ve got no pressing chores, a pot of tea at your elbow, and a highly caffeinated imagination. And, now, a tool to hack it with!

Look what I found! From Gooogie, via the Generator Blog. Yeah, come to think of it…that IS what I meant to search for.

george...right, it was george!

Listen to the Band: the Monkees psychedelic wonderland

I’m feeling psychedelic today, and we’ve already had a jolt of fake sixties stuff, so let’s wash that down with this, the real thing: the Monkees performing Listen to the Band (written by Mike Nesmith, who was always shamefully underrated, right up until the time he made his first hundred million dollars). Nine minutes of lysergic insanity, from the heart of the Sixties. Vicus, I don’t care if you’re on dialup: borrow someone else’s connection and watch this, dammit!

And if you like that, you might also enjoy this version of “She Hangs Out with mutated Monkees visuals and Bleat performing the song. BoingBoing didn’t take it, but by god it beats those lame-o “Recycling from the Haunted Mansion!!!!” posts of theirs into the ground!

The Monkees sing “Listen to the Band“, which eventually turns into a psychedelic freak-out (with Julie Driscoll, Brian Auger, and more)! Gets pretty weird near the middle and end, but overall still really cool!

quiz 2.0: which famous work of art are you TODAY?

Cuz it’s different from a week ago, even though it’s the same quiz. I like this one better, though. I was going to post the Quick and Dirty Career quiz, because I’ve always wanted a quick and dirty career, but it turned out to be really boring.
