Artistic Interlude


Being ardent fans of artistic innovation, the Tenants are currently enamoured of the work of Gregory Thielker, which, although it always looks like a photograph, is always actually a painting.

The work above ("Transference") is a particular favorite since it reminds some of the Tenants of a poorly conceived and particularly disastrous roadtrip to Atlantic City in Colson Hall's "Scone Express" (a 1987 Dodge Caravan of dubious reliability) in an attempt to parlay the proceeds from the EGO Bake and Book Sale into some "serious money." The scene depicted above is the perfect graphic representation of the point in the return trip where the Tenants discovered that Professor Hazen had spent the last of the remaining money on a package of Twizzlers during the rest stop at the Exxon Station and that, due to poor navigation, they were now somewhere near Toms River.

  1. I like Twizzlers fine, but mostly I like spending money. Especially other people's money.

  2. I'm just glad we got Cath back. When she wanders off like that... it's a real worry.

  3. @Kirk--I believe that's exactly what you said when you decided we shouldn't take the EGO money to the bank like we'd promised.

    @Mary Ann--Which time? When we were in the casino and she drifted away from the roulette table or when we were at that rest area and she went off "to look for Snooki"?

  4. Har har. For the record, I told you guys where I was going when I left that roulette table. And Snooki and I had a pact on that road trip, so I *had* to go look for her. You know how she is...

  5. Well, we knew you were going shopping with Snooki, but...two days? How many malls did you guys hit together?
