cookie monster

art, hilarity, joy

The only good part about Valentine’s Day is Bree’s annual cookie-decorating soiree, which I’ve missed for the past three years. I was back in full effect on Sunday, Super Bowl be damned. I am a cookie-decorating rockstar (and stylish plate fiend). BOOYAH!

For the record, I (obviously) oppose misogyny, including blanket, derogatory predictions about a woman’s sexual mores based on a predilection for dumb tattoos. But they really are dumb tattoos. What’s a post-feminist to do?

How about attend a gathering of cloying domesticity (baked treats party, SQUEAL!) and make a bad-ass cookie, pun pretty much intended, that represents a literal inversion of the sanitized Valentine’s Day symbol of love and romance back into its traditional representation: female genitalia.

Is that ironic enough? I think so. In fact, I think this tramp stamp cookie deserves an award.

putting the dick in dick’s sanitation

garbage, hilarity, joy, minneapolis

When I was 17, I lost a Wal-Mart photo print pickup slip from a trip to Chicago. I had a couple other rolls processed in hand so it’s not like I was lying so the woman shuffled through strangers’ pictures looking for Chicago, a grungy teen deep dish tall buildings dirty hostel, um, the El, House of Blues, no I don’t remember what else was happening when the finger punched the shutter. Just stuff. Things. “Did you take pictures of garbage?”

Um. Yes. Yes, I did.

The pile outside my window has been growing all week, crazy overflowing Vancouver strike caliber and I wonder what the hell quelling the urge the past couple of days to run outside and take pictures of trash. I can’t help myself. I don’t really want to.

This morning I gave in. A couple hours later Dick’s Sanitation arrived.

Be sure to click the pic to see the whole (hehe), compliments of andyF and a romping day of SkyTrain.

Things = good.

Update: Andy posted the shot on Flickr. Noice.

It’s been tough this election season, being in Canada where the action ain’t (and they’ve their own campaigns to mind). Mostly, I cry. Oh glorious day, when my absentee ballot arrived. In 2006 I took a photo to commemorate my Secrecy Envelope. This year, I’ve pulled out all the stops to document my patriotic anguish and glee. Enjoy.

(Happy Thanksgiving, Canadians!)
