so i did the kitchen wall:
and i started to do the bathroom wall in the same theme. unfortunately, that happened when i was drunk and a little out of my mind last friday nite, so things didn't go ideally. but it's salvagable. and i've discovered that i can replicate the tiger of the original photo onto my own wall using a projector and then penciling the enlarged image directly onto the surface.

so other than being obsessed with painting my apartment, i have managed to see 'grizzly man'. there were aspects of the movie that could have been annoying, like the bear dude's blabbering, or herzog making what i guess where supposed to be profound metaphorical judgments, but the very beary footage itself was really neat. in a way it was sort of the opposite of 'march of the penguins' in which the morgan freeman narration about the penguin reproductive cycle is informative but sometimes gratingly borderline pedantic. this time we got elliptical insights into the bears and the bear man tim through little gestures by his surviving friends during awkward interviews in the herzog footage, and little visual ommissions in the bear man's own footage. no structuring narrative, but sometimes maybe to the point of fault. does the beauty lie in the picture itself (of the penguin diving, the bear running) - worth a thousand words ?- or in knowing the context of the picture (the momma pengies need to store fish to barf up for their babies, why are the bears galloping so?)??

anyway. it's really awesome how michael brown was so well-trained for his job. sometimes everything is just crazy.
