Modern art/ Pastafarianism

Good evening!
Yup, it's me again...the funny little voice in the back of your head which makes you do stuff you always wanted to do, but never did, since you were afraid of the social consequences.
Now that we've been introduced to each other, read on and become a "Pastafarian". That's easy, AND great fun. You also save the Planet from dying out of a heat attack. The only thing you have to do, is believe in a flying spaghetti monster that created the world, and dress like a Pirate.

A bandana is sufficient:-) (a german link is here.)
Also, you join a nice community, including me and Sami, (even if Sami doesn't know he might be a pastafarian, but anyway, thanks Sami for wearing Bandanas.) who might very well be the musical voice in your head.

So, join us! the world is your's to discover (and since I'm referring to canadian car license numbers) and your's to remember ("je me souviens"). Ah and by the way this blog is in no way presented by "Molson Dry-jeune depuis 1903", nor "Coors light", nor "Gatorade-As-tu ca en toi?" and not even by "Canadian Tire". (You wish to understand this joke? Learn french, watch the canadian commercials in Quebec, read this post, laugh as much as you want.)

"Anyhow", do "YOU" speak "Matrixdancerish"?
Just "use" "little" "Quotation marks" anywhere. Also when not "writing", but "talking", (use your "fingers" to make little "quotation marks" in the "air"), so that "anyone" will "imagine" "nice" sounds like "Whitchi-whitchi".
Just try it, you'll get new friends in no time and be very popular amongst your connections...even if there's a light chance of making a big fool out of yourself, though.

Soooo....why am I so unfunny? Because I hopped to Montreal last Sat and did somthing against my craving lack of culture. I went to the museum of contemporary art.

It was ...
EXCELLENT!
I mean, "EXCELLENT".:-)
Usually the museums of cont. art are filled with meaningless stupid unfunny annoying useless timewasting pseudoart conceived by some bum who got laudatios by his professors and now gets to be famous and in order to do so he has to be creative, no matter what. That's no art, we agree?
So mostly I'm wandering around those museums thinking: OMFG what the F*** is this S***, even me could have done better and IS doing better.
But this time it was different. I understood. I got enlightened. I had fun. I was entertained. And I have to admit that I was impressed. (It's not easy to impress me...).
Hop over to the link above and have a look at the works of Brian Jungen. He's Canadian, and very nifty. I won't waste my words on describing why I think it was good etc.etc., for ME it was excellent and else, art is felt and should not be descripted. Click on the link. If you think it's interesting, grab your man/girlfriend ("blonde" if you are from Quebec) and go there. If you're a student, have your student's pass with you, so that the entry is only 4 bucks. That's cheap for that load of culture which will flow through your veins. Even if you didn't like it, you can always say that actually "yes, I am going to museums". People will think you are a culturally interested (whateverkindofpersonyouare) person.
Ok, enough publicity for the museum.
I think I'm gonna sleep now...but beware, the flying spaghetti monster is watching my sleep...
cya soon,
brave readers.

haha! This blog is not dead yet!

Tja, so sieht man sich wieder. Es ist einiges passiert in der letzten Zeit, was vielleicht noch aufgearbeitet wird....-oder auch nicht....ich bin beispielsweise erfolgreich umgezogen, und lebe jetzt mit einem Schottland-fanatischen Gallego-Spanier namens Carlos zusammen, seines zeichens, wie viele hier, Übersetzer.
Ich schlafe auf einer Second-Hand Matratze und freue mich, daß es so warm ist, dass ich keine Decke brauche, desweiteren bin ich stolzer Besitzer einer Maus für den Laptop der jetzt sogar ans Internet angeschlossen ist. Ich habe also wieder Kommunikationsmöglichkeiten, was natürlich prima ist:-)
Und sonst?
Wie auf quebeciana nachzulesen, ist ja gerade Fantasiafestival in Montreal. Da muss ich jetzt aber mal dringendst hin! Mal gucken, wer sich bereit erklärt, zu fahren. Antoine vielleicht?
Ausserdem war ich mal wieder Film gucken, (ohne eine Kritik zu schreiben, ich weiss...) nämlich zuerst Piraten der Karibik 2.
Hier also die Kurzkritik: der film war schon in Ordnung, nur das Ende!!! ARGH!
Yehar, sailor, y'ont be Cap soon the parrot's gonna sting ya! Yar!
NEVER E-V-E-R Cliffhanger bei einer Fortsetzung verwenden. Nie. Warum nicht? Die Handlung wird nicht abgeschlossen. Das ist sooooo billig, das bedeutet nur, daß der Film mit überflüssigen Actionszenen angereichert wurde, was wiederum bedeutet, dass er künstlich gestreckt wurde, was wiederum bedeutet, daß den Produzenten der arme in seinen Kinosessel gekuschelte Matrixdancer völlig egal war. (Und der Rest der Welt auch.)
Hrmpf.
Das wäre ja prinzipiell eine gute Ausgangslage für einen künstlerisch wertvollen Film (das den Künstlern das Publikum egal ist) aber nicht bei Piraten der karibik 2.
Overall: 7 von 10 Punkten, aber nur, weil ich Piraten ohnehin gerne mag und der Film ganz witzig war und die Maske definitiv Überstunden gewerkelt hat.

So, it's late, see u, werte Leser.
*Gähn*
