145 NICE TIMES by Lun Chape: www.sweetdango.typepad.com\ & sweetdango@hotmail.com & www.2012ad.com– click on “beta site”, go to “mofo”
DoubleYourDates.com – dating advice – recommends not immediately paying for things, like dinner, and gives five reasons why not to, such as this setting the guy up as the one pursuing the woman, symbolically giving away power.
Berkeley Copwatch – on their mailing list also – part of a movement to hold police accountable, directly accountable, for their actions. They work out of the Grassroots House at 2022 Blake near Shattuck.
Alterati.com – “The Inside Scoop on the Outside Culture” – new site I signed up for. Not sure yet just what’s there, but it looks interesting. “Kill your clocks, burn your calendars, and hang out.” is a sample sentence.
Paladin Press – just got the newsletter – a lot of material there, but the one item I’m still considering buying is Hookers, Tricks and Cops by Loren Christiansen. A lot of books here about martial arts, specifically related to brutal street-level techniques like gouging, but I find the subject of this Christiansen book more interesting.
“Chunky soup of plastic in Atlantic” – article by Mike Melia – about a “swirl” of plastic debris found across thousands of miles of the Atlantic. Also called “a soup of micro-particles” – similar to the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, a “phenomenon” found in the last ten years between Hawaii and California. Where the waste ends up.
1:AM Gallery, Howard and 6th – Lily Black show opening – “custom toy vinyls” and drawings. I like the work shown here more than at many other of the city’s galleries.
Peace Action West – newsletter recommendation by Daniel Ellsberg – “powerful voice of the antiwar movement” – in favor of “peace candidate” Marcy Winograd, who wants to replace Jane Harman in the 36th District in Southern California.
16th and Mission – name of a producer of underground comix. Have contacted Cameron Forsley, one of the artists, above drawing a cover for my blog-o-zine.
Care2 Petition Site – Action Alert from them suggesting that Congress be told to reduce military spending. It notes that 48% of tax dollars go to the Pentagon.
Methylsulfonylmethane – MSM – dietary supplement, a form of sulfur, recommended to support connective tissues – tendons, ligaments, and muscles. Also a beauty aid.
“Where have all the male witches gone?” – article at the Ye Witches’ Tea blog.
“Hallucinogens Have Doctors Tuning In Again” – article by John Tierney.
What is Burning Man? – site including a glossary of terms related to Burning Man, and a list of the Ten Principles that are the “core guiding concepts” of the “project”. Also, “Dust & Illusions”, by Olivier Bonin, is a documentary.
Aisha – name of one of the bellydancers who performs at the Om Shan Tea urban tea oasis – she was drawn to the form “because of the deep beauty and spiritual nature of the dance.” Nouveau Devadasi is the name of this “Temple Dance Performance Salon”.
Peace Action West – another e-mail from them, from Rebecca Griffin, urging calls to Representative Nancy Pelosi to vote against additional funding for the war in Afghanistan, and ultimately an end to the war.
“How To Have Presence” – article. One I plan to study carefully.
