Hey! Look what I got today! A reeeeally nice book on Matisse/Picasso. (No, you may not borrow it!) I got it from MOMA. (Not to be confused with MOMMA.) I bought it online and got it in just a matter of days. Good deal!

MOMA is running a special exhibit on Matisse/Picasso. I'm hoping to go see it in the not-too-distant future. In the meantime, I'll have to read the essays in this book and get myself all "cultured up" before I go see the exhibit.

(And no, you still can't borrow it!)

Here's a song for you. One of my current favorites. It's half good ideas, half tongue-in-cheek. I like it all except for the part of changing her name from Kitty to Karen. I understand that the name had to rhyme with Chrysler LeBaron. But how about changing her name to Doris and trading in the MG for a Ford Taurus?

Regardless, it's a funky tune.

"Short Skirt, Long Jacket"

I want a girl with a mind like a diamond
I want a girl who knows what’s best
I want a girl with shoes that cut
And eyes that burn like cigarettes

I want a girl with the right allocations
Who’s fast, thorough, and sharp as a tack
She’s playing with her jewelry
She’s putting up her hair
She’s touring the facilities
And picking up the slack

I want a girl with a short skirt and a long jacket.

I want a girl who gets up early
I want a girl who stays up late
I want a girl with uninterrupted prosperity
Who uses a machete, to cut her red tape

With fingernails that shine like justice
And a voice that is dark like tainted glass
She is fast, thorough, and sharp as a tack
She’s touring the facilities and picking up the slack

I want a girl with a short skirt and a long, long jacket

I want a girl with smooth liquidation
I want a girl with the right dividends
At City Bank we will meet accidentally
We’ll start to talk when she borrows my pen

She wants a car with a cupholder armrest
She wants a car that will get her there
She’s changing her name
From Kitty to Karen
She’s trading her MG for a white Chrysler LeBaron

I want a girl with a short skirt and a long jacket

I got a Pink Floyd poster!

So what?

Noticing that I was starting to overdose on CNN's and NPR's war in Iraq coverage, I decided to go buy some new music last night. I needed something fresh and new. What better music to cure an overdose than Pink Floyd? (?)

I got a remastered CD version of their 1969 "Ummagumma." I had forgotten all about this album. After listening to it, I bet most people have forgotten about it! But how can you not buy a CD that has a song title on it like this: "Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict?" If that won't distract you from war nothing will!

Okay. Here's the funny part. When I opened the CD there was a poster inside. This caused an instant flashback to the age of 15. Back then I had tried to steal a poster out of Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" album. I had the cassette. But cassettes didn't come with posters. There was a girl in the aisle as I slit the plastic album wrapping and dropped the poster in a bag I was carrying. She looked like a stoner, so I didn't worry about her. Well, she was undercover security and I got busted for ripping off a poster! Nothing ever came of the incident. And I did reform my ways. I don't think I've tried to steal any Pink Floyd paraphernalia since then. But all these years I've had to endure life without a Pink Floyd poster. Now I have one. Maybe my karma is improving. Maybe the experiences of my life since 15 have been sufficient punishment and the recording industry gods now deem me worthy of a poster. Or maybe is just further proof that CDs are a huge improvement over cassettes.

The poster hangs proudly... in my cube at work. Not exactly where I would have placed it at 15.
