Paycheck Alert!


For the next 2 months, I will be eating only noodles and peanut butter sandwiches: Books-A-Million is selling some relatively cheap books on modernism, Case Study houses, progressive architecture, surrealism, and Bauhaus. I browsed through a few, and I have to have them all.

The book on the Case Study houses left two stains in my underwear, but I still managed to stop myself from buying it. I was conflicted when I saw a compelling book about my photographer-hero Man Ray. My brain went into overdrive; I didn't know where to spend my cash. So, until tomorrow...

Dance The Manta Ray!

Forget Chicago, I'm Going To NYC This Summer

Green Day is turning their epic album American Idiot into a Broadway play.

Architecture, history, art, great food, martinis, and a punk musical...who's with me?

Anyone?

The mastery of Caravaggio and his "chiaroscuro" -- the contrast of shadow and light -- are brought back to life in a exhibition to mark 400 years since the artist's death. Dozens of works by Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio are on show at Scuderie del Quirinale, a museum located inthe former stables of Rome's Quirinal Palace.
