Anthony Easton of pink moose is in Toronto and he's got an opening tomorrow night at 7:00 at Type Books, 883 Queen St. West. Rumour has it there will be a lot of very nice photographs at nice affordable prices.

I'm in agreement with what Terence Dick wrote on akimblog
"Katie Bethune-Leaman’s work is also funny, but in a macabre way. As is her wont, she twists pop culture references in unexpected directions. Here she posits the corpse of slain rapper Tupac Shakur as a farm bed for mushrooms. A series of delicate drawings and an accompanying sculptural assemblage brings her musings on hip-hop fungi to light."
(please note it is much more fun to disagree with Terence Dick)

golden compass

We finally watched The Golden Compass. I don't understand why people seem to hate it so much. I loved the books, and thought the movie was perfectly entertaining: non-stop action with no draggy bits, groovy dirigibles, suitably cute daemons animated just fine, better-than competent and charismatic child acting, creepy Nicole Kidman, faithful to the dark scary stuff in the books, faithful to the kid-like P.O.V. of Lyra/Pan. The only complaint I had was that Ian McKellen was mis-cast as the Gandalf voice for Iorek Byrnison. That bear shoulda been less of a sage and more of a roust-a-bout. Otherwise, it was fun and I wish they were going to make the rest of the trilogy. Also, the website has a quiz you can fill out to get a daemon assigned (click on "daemons"). Mine is an osprey. If I was 8 again I would be in heaven.
