Sempiternal Folly
I know the message is about the medium, but all the publicity that “TV IS GOING DIGITAL!!!!!!” is getting, from the incessant commericals to concerned news-casts and government-rebate-assisted conversion boxes, you’d think we were counting down to the poles of the very goddam Earth switching. I just hope such a well organized campaign of awareness is executed when some really dire shiz hits the horizon.
It has been a super crazy week here in Aspen. I’m not going to go into the nitty gritty, but lets just say that loafing around at the Ritz Carlton is NICE. I went to a dinner party at a 12 million dollar house two nights ago. Apparently rich people listen to trance while they eat chicken fingers and hashbrowns off fine china and like to give out giftbags at the end of it all. It sorta reminded me of how I got party favors at birthday parties when I was a kid. Once when I was living in France I went to a classmates Birthday party - her father was an arab oil magnate - and the party favor was worth about $200 more than my gift to her.. whoops!
Its raining here today and the snowbanks are starting to look like they have black grimey 5-day stubble. Some weather caster on the news was saying they’re finding mercury in the air at Steamboat and that it’s from pollution from China wafting over here. That’s pollution from China from them making all our plastic happy meal Polly Pocket toys… commercial Karma’s a bitch.
