Poop Back and Forth, Forever.

A few days ago we watched "Me and You and Everyone We Know" . Here are just a few pictures and a short video of the movie.

"Back and forth" poop sign:
The )) and (( are two butts, and the <> is poop going back and forth between the two butts. This was written by a young boy talking to a 40 year old woman on a chat room. Pooping "back and forth, forever" is his idea of romance. Watch the clip to see it. It´s really very funny.

Are You The Favorite Person Of Anybody?

We have a list of movies I want to rent online. And we never know which dvds the rental company will send us next. It was such a coincidence when on the same day the dvd of "Me and You and Everyone We Know" arrived along with the yellow book "No one belongs here more than you" both by Miranda July. Add then I also found this short movie at YouTube. Did anybody say "There are no coincidences"?



This is a simple short film, shot on a budget of $150. A man with a survey stops passersby and asks them, "Are you anybody's favorite person?" That can be heartbreaking for somebody who doesn´t come first in somebody else's heart!

More books...

I read about "Will Happiness find me?" at swissmiss. The renowned Swiss duo Fischli & Weiss wrote down questions that everyone asks themselves once in a while: Should I satisfy myself? Shall I go under? Should I pay less attention to my worries? Why doesn´t she call? Has the last bus gone? Should I get drunk?
Fun to read and ponder.


The book review" at Artist in LA LA Land made me buy "Erotic Haiku". Each haiku appears in English and in Japanese with playful pen-and-pencil drawings throughout.


And finally "No one belongs here more than you" by Miranda July. I discovered this little gem around a year ago. I really enjoyed the idea, but didn´t think of buying the book. But then I heard so much about Miranda that I just had to have a look at it. Now all I need is something yellow to wear for reading the book.

Birthday?

No, it isn´t my Birthday today, but I received so many books and stuff today that I almost started singing "Happy Birthday to you, happy ...". Saturday we do not get our mail. So Mondays we sometimes receive the double amount of packages (usually of books) and letters.

The next posts will be about some of the books (Anorak, Obsessive Consumption, Will Happiness Find Me?, Erotic Haiku, Miranda July, Shannon Gerard). You can read about a part of them (Chronik 2008 and the zines from Obsessive Consumption) here at my other blog though.
Oh... and I received a book from my husband, but that will be the final post about the books as that one is really special.
