~ you can walk away from the security guards at the mta bus depot in east manhattan, as they will not get up from their scooters when trying to interrupt your drifting. the security guards at the citicorp tower will walk away from you if you shout the phrase “go ahead and touch me motherfucker; i dare you.”

~ overheard at red cross donation center: “we only give platelets because we can see cool movies like ‘first knight'” -kron, 2002

~ congratulations to the angry red planet for having reached 100 workunits at the seti@home project [w].

~ a woman on the a train intersects the wearing of a short denim skirt with the placing one foot on the handrail. riders sitting opposite her seat are distracted from studying calvino’s texts for the remainder of the voyage.

~ today’s anticipated drift through long island city failed to materialize. instead, we continued to remain on the island today, exploring the manicured propriety of battery park city and the nationalist hucksterism of battery park itself.

~ a cop pulling over a man on the beach loses his shit over the cop car loudspeaker: “pull over to the right! pull over to the right!!! to the right!!!!!! where the bikes are!!!” meanwhile, the bikes were on the driver’s – and the cop’s – left.

~ green suited humans have been spotted taking up pieces of garbage from the sidewalk on 115th street. they placed the trash into cylindrical containers, then transported it elsewhere. perplexing.

~ “OTHER TOP NEWS . Man held in Texas may be drifter”. has john aschroft now determined that the negotiation of psychogeography is a detainable offense?

~ we have not been updating the log in a while, due to our attention being placed elsewhere in recent weeks. while some of our time has been wasted by standing on the corner looking for work, we have also begun a couple of projects, in both text and space, including a collaboration with from the ground publications [w], that we have decided are currently more worthy of our energies. believe it or not, it takes a large degree of effort and time to craft lines such as the line about mr. stokes; at this time, a frequency of posts would mean a loss of quality which our readers surely do not desire nor deserve. we have plans for the future orientation of this site, and the log will still have a place in it; until then, though, the updates here will be somewhat less frequent, and they will likely be of a more internal nature.

~ at least dontee stokes has a clearer plan about what to do with child molesters than anyone in the catholic organization has formulated.

~ ftg publications: ‘wtf is pubic educational value?’

~ since it apparently has become acceptable for children to be taken out of school en masse for showings of the ‘spider-man’ motion picture [w], the anticipated peaceful morning viewing was stolen from our angry red agents. enjoying instead banana muffins and post offices on 125th street; we turn this weekend’s attention to films with apparently less public educational value, and therefore less noisy, snotty vermin, such as ‘dogtown and z-boys’ [w].

~ the angry red planet originally endorsed the plan of waiting until may 16 to see ‘spider-man’, thereby undermining support for the latest version of ‘star wars’. however, after a few minutes of reflection, we have decided to allow our entire offices the day off, and in 30 minutes, they will be enjoying the first ‘spider-man’ showing in harlem.
