A Wee Break
Taking a break to clear my head. The lack of action/progress aside from the increase in hyper-consumption due to the ‘great green goods’ explosion has me, well, a bit down in the mouth. Therefore, I’m taking a reprieve from all media for a time. Society gets what it deserves?
Much love.

Much love back Todd. You’ve been missed, and will continue to be. And oh yeah, we’re f@rked as a society.
Tod,
My two week road trip is my blogging break. However, I stopped at a store today in Centralia, Washington, Hubbub, that sells items made from tires, billboard advertisements, and other recycle-ables, and I’m eager to get back home and post about it. The proprieter of the store, Rebecca, and a “Miranda July” quality about her.
I think that sounds nice… Take a break mental break. Trade your non-descript Volvo in for a rental Hummer. Yellow. With hunting lights. Drive that HumV down to TJ and throw your McDonalds out the window on your way. While you’re there, make sure to support your local sweat shops and buy some knock off Nikes. Don’t forget to bargain for some ‘real’ silver too. 925! Then pop back over the border to Texas, and rub elbows with oil tycoons at a “Green Fundraiser” while you sip a Champaign from plastic Champaign flutes. Make sure to burn some rubber on your way out of there, and pick your girl up a gift at a roadside taxidermist on your way home. And once you get home, make sure to take an extra long shower, leave the AC on the rest of the night, and the next morning, water your garden at least thrice a day. Oh yeah, and watch your MTV. That spells nice vacation!
Anne, I hope you’re just joking about what Tod might be doing on his break. I miss his posts but know that he’s taking a needed break.
The last time I saw Tod, he was going to the donut shop with his son,Justice, a far cry from the “nice vacation” you describe.
Hmmmm, I’m sure you were joking.
Gail, wow, I guess you could use a vacation from taking things too seriously.
Don’t worry, All in good fun my dear…
-Anne
Break it up, you two!
Heh.
Actually, you guys would love each other to pieces in real life. I read an article in N+1 journal some time ago about how email/internet postings are very, very tricky as they leave very little room for the recognition and interpretation of sarcasm, as sarcasm relies very much on prior history, vocal inflections, et cetera.
My lord, how I love my friends!
