television

stephen dug up our “rabbit-ears” antenna from storage (mostly because he really really wants to watch the olympics). and so, for the first time in 5 months we watched tv last night. it was so awful. we watched most of “greatest american dog” which was ok. but then ended up going down to the store and renting “be kind rewind” and i thought it was so cute!! anyway. i got to watch letterman, and i’m happy about that. maybe it will be better once the “real” shows come back on?? probably not.

clockwise from top left are “flight of rejoice,” “genie of the lamp,” “lotion of ocean,” and “neon flash cash.”

i, for one, am so pleased and relieved that they are documenting these great art forms and fashion statements that we once thought were obsolete. to see more of these beauties, please go here.  enjoy.
