Sam's Juxtapose collage is pasted over The Peoples Bank logo on a giant binder, and put on display above the television. There's a mummified soldier with a dusty gas mask, and the blue breasts on a woman's body with blue sea creature stuck through her abdomen. The creature has a single horn and long feminine eyelashes. The blue woman wear the upside down head of another image, and I think these are my favorite pieces. We spend most of out time in the bedroom these days, since most of our things are already tucked away into storage. You can start to tell, as our mess is starting to overtake the bedside tables and all our DVD cases have been pulled out and re-watched. I think that it's peaceful. The room stays at least 10 degrees cooler than the rest of the earth ship during the hottest parts of the day. I try on skimpy, neon costumes for Burning Man and design most of my creations with the help of hot glue guns and safety pins. I've been drinking lemon concentrate and sweet water in a modified "fast" I started three days ago. Seaweed Miso made from scratch, Thai soups and green teas. Lots of marijuana.
I bought a new bike. A crooked little thing we scored for $100 bucks in Albuquerque on our search for a ride to get me across the playa. A pale yellow masterpiece with an old-fashioned, tapered frame, a fat seat, and seven speeds. We customized it with a little girl's plastic basket in the front (complete with the pink and purple flowers sprouting from the front). A bell, a horn, a pair of sunglasses I decorated with tiny mirrors and broken pieces of CDs. We're going to tie JayGee, our Grateful Dead teddy bear, to the basket so he can be our little mascot.
