In this frilly episode that apparently goes well with a red wine, we tackle the age old question, why are my pants on backwards. In between cursing fit to make a sailor blush we also look at some manga and crudely compare them to poultry. That's our story and we're sticking to it. Ghost Talkers Daydream - Read it Now. Vampire Knight - Read it at Borders.

Studio 360 waits for David Hockney. The artist returns to the English countryside where he grew up, to paint some of the most vivid landscapes of his career. In the documentary "Waiting for David Hockney" outsider artist Billy Pappas hopes his idol, Hockney, will come to see a single drawing Pappas has been working on for eight years. And we'll meet the struggling single moms of Troy, NY through the eyes of a poet and a photographer.

Behind the Scottsdale Community College Performing Arts Center there are five or six towering mulberry trees, old ones. When I leave campus at dusk, there is an absolute riot of birds hanging out in all of these huge trees. Their chattering echoes back and forth between to brick buildings. It s like the last great gossip session before bedtime. I can t decide whether they remind me of a gang of news channel pundits run amok, or of the slumber parties attended by girls in their confusing and hyper-emotional teen years. Some days I think one way, some days another. And some days, my brain goes to The Birds, and I hurry to my car and drive quietly away before they notice me nearby.

Just one tiny moment, but it blew my mind. We have some of the best sunsets ever. When I see something so gorgeous, I always feel the sky loves me. I used a teensy snippet of music performed by D-Squared. It s their cover of Buckeye Jim.

Whatever happened to the French New Wave? The technology of the late 1950s promised to free filmmakers from the constraints of cumbersome equipment and overly complex production techniques. This freedom was supposed to push creative boundaries in cinematic storytelling. Indeed, it started that way, spearheaded by a group of young French filmmakers; but despite lighter and more compact equipment, the technical liberation did not continued.

I love Maya s Farm, where I m a CSA member. This is my share of the food booty this week I get one of each item. I m personally thrilled the turnips are back. My favorite way to eat them is raw, dressed with a little vanilla olive oil, honey and white wine vinegar. I ll be eating these babies now through winter and into spring.

10365282 (2009, 1 MB, 14 sec) 10366629 (2009, 7 MB, 1:26 min) Here s the blurb: In a wilderness at the heart of Berlin a strange apparition has landed. Simon Faithfull’s Mobile Research Station no.1 is a curious hybrid – half hi-tech Antarctic Research Station / half rusty-broken-dumpster. Using a standard building-waste container as its basis, the station nevertheless forms a luxurious designer-pod provided for an eccentric set of researchers. Rather than researching the frozen wastes of Antarctica or the moons of Saturn, the invited artist/researchers have begun their investigation into the surrounding wilderness and urban zones of uncertainty that still lie at the centre of Berlin. There initial findings and questions can be found in this blog as and when they happen. I really liked Simon Faithfull s recent show at the BFI. He does something genuinely witty engaging with the kind of play-acted science * that seems to be so in vogue with artists at the moment. This project has similar premises but it doesn t resonate in the same way. Of all the work up on the site these two little movies by Tim Knowles detained me the longest although it s a shame they weren t made with more care (perhaps, though, there s a deluxe DVD edition for sale somewhere along the line..) They do look nice though. * It sounds entirely dismissive but it s not meant to be. Well, not entirely. If I had to enlarge I d say it was an attempt to enlist a kind of sympathetic magic whereby some of the presumed authenticity of science rubs off on the artists work. But of course because we re all ironists now we re all quite aware that there s a kind of Tati-ish, childlike going-through-the-motions-of-science actually going on ( ooh those artists!) presumably it s in this disjuncture that the art purportedly emerges. With Faithfull (and Knowles) the results at least are visually engaging and to an extent affecting if not particularly deep. OK. Fine. But just how many times round do we go before it becomes the most painful of clichés?

Check out this week's video demonstration, where Ilysa shows you more about mixing polymer clay colors. It's important to learn about color- better color produces more interesting designs for your jewelry, accessories, and home decor items!
