I am retiring this blog for an indefinite amount of time. It's difficult finding time to write in here these days. Here is a link to my tumblr that I update semi-regularly.
See you all on the other side,

When I was young I would watch cartoons and thought that when I blinked, the characters on screen were doing something else. Those fleeting hundred milliseconds taunted me. I couldn't participate in the alternate world where things were even more absurd than what was already happening on screen. The story would continue, but I felt there was another thread Shiny Kidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10715634025560282366noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4578330249463636089.post-42217699415774963912013-10-07T18:48:00.000-04:002013-10-07T18:48:38.384-04:00Living in a reality that is slipping awayYesterday I finally finished One Hundred Years of Solitude. I am embarrassed to admit that I have been reading this book on and off for the past four years. But yesterday was a Sunday and I was determined to get through the last quarter.

Over a year ago, I took a break from this blog. I felt it was necessary to explore the present day Shiny Kid. What are her dreams, ideals, opinions, aesthetics? By distancing myself from the past, I've come to an understanding on how to move forward. I never abandoned my attraction to the glint and gleam of the Universe and I probably never will. However, I have discovered ways to examine Shiny Kidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10715634025560282366noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4578330249463636089.post-88754483943325058062012-08-04T19:53:00.001-04:002013-10-02T17:51:49.139-04:00Added to the shelfI've been really into watching old horror films on Netflix in my free time, the ones from the 20s-70s mainly. My favorites so far have been a couple by Roger Corman who did a few films based on Edgar Allan Poe's stories, with Vincent Price playing the villain (perfecto!).
The Masque of Red Death
This movie got me on so many levels: the humongous home it took place in, the costume design (Shiny Kidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10715634025560282366noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4578330249463636089.post-6443777917421723152012-08-02T00:42:00.000-04:002013-10-02T17:51:49.122-04:00Analog Dreams
"Perhaps one of the most difficult tasks of the contemporary artist
is not to become swamped by the number of techno-tools
capable of precision rendering of the visible world (photo, film, video)
and to create with these systems the 'pure' images of the symbolic."

Earlier this week, I went to BAM to see my absolute favorite movie in the entire world: Daisies.
I had never seen it projected on a big screen before, let alone on a 35mm print format so I was ecstatic to be able to experience it in that manner. (Opportunities like this remind me why I chose to move to New York City).

'We cannot drop out of society.
We can only drop out of social roles and dramas which are unloving,
contracting and which distract us from the discovery of our atomic, cellular,
somatic and sensory divinity.'
