Shadow portrait

Published July 17th, 2007 in Miscellaney, Mostly a picture.

“I’m walkin’ on my shadow, I’m walkin’ on my shadow,” says the lil’ monkey whenever the sun shines from a fortuitous direction. This time we had fun making letters of the alphabet with our bodies.

If parenthood all goes downhill from this point onward, I wouldn’t be surprised, since I can’t imagine much more fun than Giacometti-ish alphabet shadow puppetry on a lazy afternoon.

    Having absorbed so much pop culture from the 80’s, I can’t help but see Freddy Krueger there on the right. Run lil monkey run! At the very least, don’t go outside to check out a noise wearing only your diaper.

    Having avoided every horror movie since I was traumatized by an afternoon TV showing of the 1931 Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, I don’t know anything about any Freddy Krueger. Myself, I was thinkin’ more Sandino:

    Though I think that as a general practice, no one should go outside to check out a noise wearing only a diaper if it’s late at night and there’s scary music somehow being piped in from god knows where.

    Omygod, that is just heinous. Gives snappy chapeaus a bad name. I’m so sorry I peeked, but of course now I understand what I’ve put you through with this image.

    Now here’s some Giacometti to try to wash away some of the taste of that Kruger imagery:

    See that cute kid there on the right? My son. The day, this July, that my partner and I got hitched. It was our fourteenth anniversary. Help.

    Ellen DeGeneres: "My Political Point... And I Do Have One," on 24 Sept., 2008 at her site.
    The wording of Prop 8 is tricky. It’s like if someone asked you, “You don’t want dessert, right?” But you do want dessert so you say, “Yes,” which really means you don’t want dessert. And if you say, “No,” which means you do want dessert -- it sounds like you don’t. Either way, you don’t get what you want. See -- confusing. Just like Prop. 8.



    So, in case I haven’t made myself clear, I’m FOR gay marriage. And in order to protect that right -- please VOTE NO on Proposition 8. And now that you’re informed, spread the word. I’m begging you. I can’t return the wedding gifts -- I love my new toaster.
    For those that missed it, here Ellen is chatting with McCain (2 Sept., 2008) on the topic of gay marriage.
