What Can I Get for Two Dollars?

what can i get for two dollah?

So I was kinda inspired by the line which originated in Full Metal Jacket and that the 2 Live Crew swiped for “Me so Horny” and then more recently M.I.A. transformed into her own song, “Ten Dollar”.

I’ve had this two dollar bill fetish for a while and like to use them to tip etc. So if you see one around, it might be one that I’ve been putting back into circulation. They really are quite useful now with the price of things, etc.

Anyhow, I’ve been inspired to do a photo project merging the two tentatively called “what can I get for two dollars?”

Not sure how it’ll work exactly, but I’ll get a signed release and the compensation for that will be a $2 bill (which is what I once gave Frank Chu when I took a street shot of him, so perhaps he’ll be my first in the series)…

emotionally constipated

I heard this term while listening to an old “This American Life” and it totally connected with a feeling I sometimes get.

Later in the program, there’s a story about the worlds worst wedding toast and the conclusions there are exactly what I like about life. I’ve always said I enjoy the range of human emotion, and sometimes I want to fall in love and have my heart broken to feel that side of the range. I guess when my parents die, I will experience a similar depth of emotion so maybe I don’t need to fall in love.

Going Sideways

So my sister was visiting this last week and I took some time off to hang out with her. One of the days we went up to the wine country and I finally got to do that since I’ve only been up there working previously.

There was some trivia question about Coppola and the Tucker film/automobile and since my sister loves movies, that particular winery was of interest. I have to say though that the smaller independent vineyards were my faves. To prepare we also watched Sideways beforehand which was a pretty good flick.
