We met some old neighbors for dinner the other night and they lamented our moving because Mo was such a hard worker and he was always wandering the neighborhood looking for jobs.
Tonight on TV we were watching some show about gold mining in Alaska. One guy -- a few trucks -- work.
And then there is "Dirty Jobs" and "Deadliest Catch" and "Ax Men" and all of these other shows about working. You can't turn on the TV without there being some show about working.
When did work become entertainment insead of .... errrr.... work?
When did we start watching work on TV instead of working?

I was at the store today and saw a copy of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" and thought Mo would probably like it what with all the singing and dancing but then I noticed that it is rated "R".
I know it features a transvestite who makes himself a beautiful monster boy but I really don't recall it being overly racy.
This got me thinking: is a 1975 "R" movie still an "R" movie in 2008? Does the MPAA reevaluate the rating of a film every once in a while?
Thanks!

Im fascinated by this mini series about the US Arircraft Carrier Nimitz. Its a study of how something works despite itself. It seems there are layers of reality that rarely intersect except in the various missions to launch and retrieve the jets.
It was fascinating in a kind of dysfunctional "soap opera" family way.

From the Wall Street Journal:
Art and (Wo)man at Yale
By MICHAEL J. LEWIS
Has any work of art been more reviled than Aliza Shvarts's senior project at Yale? Andres Serrano's photograph of a crucifix suspended in his own urine did not lack for articulate champions. Nor did Damien Hirst's vitrine with its doleful rotting cow's head. But Ms. Shvarts's performance of "repeated self-induced miscarriages" has left even them silent. According to her project description, she inseminated herself with sperm from voluntary donors "from the 9th to the 15th day of my menstrual cycle . . . so as to insure the possibility of fertilization." Later she would induce a miscarriage by means of an herbal abortifacient. (Or so she claimed; whether she actually did any of this remains unclear.)
Ms. Shvarts may have, as she asserts, intended her project to raise questions about society and the body. But she inadvertently raises an entirely different set of questions: How exactly is Yale teaching its undergraduates to make art? Is her project a bizarre aberration or is it within the range of typical student work, unusually startling perhaps but otherwise a fully characteristic example of the program and its students?
