challenging orders - humor that pokes.

Two new favorite movies. Sedmikrásky (Daisies) by Vera Chytilová and Céline et Julie vont en bateau (Céline and Julie Go Boating: Phantom Ladies Over Paris), by Jacques Rivette.

Fantastic fun. a fusion of Dada, fluxus and Agnès Varda. the laughter, magic, gender and narrative play are inspirational.

by name

i was just enlightened in a delightful way that if you translate my name into japanese (after a decade there it's funny i never found this one) it's:

あす（明日）とぅ（登）れっど(赤）
it's a treasure. it means "Tomorrow climb with red"
and so as the days begin to count down towards the next mountain, Hua-shan, I have this new focus. an absurd new drive to paint the next mountain red.
