Unfinished Poem

The angels are roasting in the chimney
mysterious red eyes a glow in the darkness
The sirens' halos tipped askew
sizzle like drops of grease
as they melt into a puddle
of molten despair

Unfinished, by Leopoldina Dewinter

To Whom It May Concern:

I was given a beautiful bouquet of flowers and the flowers were wrapped with pages of your paper. After putting the flowers in water, I was drawn to the photos in the paper and began reading one of the articles on Tom Ford. As a photographer and student of graphic design, I would love to be able to see more of the magazine (and finish the article!). Unfortunately, I only have a couple pages of the magazine and couldn’t find any info about ordering a subscription to PaperCity Magazine on the website.

I was hoping you could point me in the right direction…

Thank you for your time and understanding!

Sincerely, Leopoldina

Philippe Bertho, Homme en Lutte

I recently went to the Martin Lawerence Galleries, in SF, to few an exhibit and stumbled across of a couple of Philippe Bertho serigraphs. He is an amazing artist with a great sense of humor. I wish I could see more of his work. I guess I will have to keep my eyes open. If I had a couple grand to throw away, I would buy one of his limited prints. I guess this is yeat another reason for me to practice my french. Maybe one day I could write him a letter to tell him how much I love his work!

You can read more info on Philippe Bertho at the Martin Lawerence Galleries...

Love and Hollywood

“Mmmmm. I’m a star.
And the audience loves me.
And I love them.
And they love me for loving them.
And I love them for loving me.
And we love each other…
and that is because none of us
got enough love in our childhoods.
And that’s showbiz, kid.”

Memorable Movie Quote:

Deborah Clasky (Téa Leoni): "I have been seeing this man for the past 11 weeks and at first it was just a real estate high and then it was my low self esteem and then things got out of hand but I realised, you know, that it was all... are you listening?"

John Clasky (Adam Sandler): "[pause] Its hard to listen when you start a converstation with what I think I heard..."

Deborah: "What did you hear?"

John: "I heard a rip in the planet... or maybe it was just in my head."

(SPANGLISH, 2004)
