Orozco & Rivera: Mexican Muralist Masters
Hispanic Heritage Month being in full swing deposited back-to-back American Masters episodes on the DVR this week: Orozco: Man Of Fire and Rivera In America.
My familiarity with Rivera was limited to a few museum pieces and Alfred Molina’s portrayal in Frida, but I knew nothing of Orozco.

Online digital archive at Indiana University comprised of nearly 14,500 Kodachrome color slides donated by amateur photographer Cushman, which he took during his travels from 1938 to 1969. An amazing document of Mid-Century America. (via Metafilter)

The Dogs In Danger site may seem a tad heavy-handed to some. It does, however, bring light to an ugly reality, which might nudge a few potential pet adopters to commit.
Couldn’t help think about the classic National Lampoon cover.

Finally. One has to wonder What if? Griese had been the Super Bowl starter. But with seven Defensive starters either hurt or disabled, might this simply be a Band-Aid slapped on a disembowelment…?

Yeah. Just got it back.
Huh. Looks a little bigger, doesn’t it?
Hmm. Maybe a little— Ow!

Mmmm... Bubble Tea!
Capped off a tasty Dim Sum breakfast in LA’s Chinatown with a Tangerine Slush Boba.
While the snottish texture of the tapioca can be off-putting to some, with it’s surprise glop careening up the wide-bore straw, the candy-sweet chewiness mashed into the flavor of your choice is Pan-Asian bliss.
Passion-Peach Slush… You’re next.

Cubbies’s destiny was in their hands, so they’re running stomping with it and leaving a trail of Divisional corpses. FedEx’d a thermos of bad juju to the Brew Crew down at Turner Field via Super Special Same-Day Priority… just in case.

Another 9th Inning meltdown from Ryan Dempster, as the Dodgers smack him and the Cubs but good.
Dempster’s consistently inconsistent, which doesn’t get you far into the playoffs, let alone even into the post-season.

Yes, Mr. South on Vineland Avenue Driver, you deserve the ‘atta boy for your earth-friendly hybrid vehicle. But when you throw your Burger King® wrapper out the window, you qualify as asshole-neutral.

Rob Zombie’s ‘reinvention’ of Carpenter’s 1978 classic breaks Labor Day Weekend take. Ugh. One more of my formative films cornholed by studio greed.
Look. I like Zombie. Cool hair. Cool tats. Cool videos. ‘Thunder Kiss ‘65’ still jangles the happy sack with awesome rock frequencies.
But his feature output’s been spotty (spattered?). Long on vision....
