Writing as Andy Warhol
Wedding rings are the essence of love. And here you can buy them online at a discount. It seems that marriage has lost it’s meaning. I mean, is love at a discount if it comes to this? Purchasing the sacred symbol online for 15%off. What is this?!! Barbaric. I would hope that my marriage has more purpose.
Yet, in this great time and place you can purchase all kinds of things online. Easily from the comfort of your own home, or while you’re in a meeting (multi tasking). Just come to this one stop shopping site and purchase anything you’ve ever dreamed about. Shoes, PDA’s, Ipods, you name it. Agh! And what’s this? A Retro gift basket! Huh? Well, it comes with everything from Bit o Honey, Jolly Ranchers, Mambas, and Slap Sticks. Yes, I’m referring to the 80’s decade of candy nostalgia. In the 80’s everyone was concerned with big hair and lots of make up. I remember my friend Z always wore those fishnets with heeled boots. And she’d say A let’s go dance like the Thriller video. That’s when Michael Jackson was a big hit. Everyone had on one black leather glove and wore hightop sneakers.

The Two Films
4. Both films in subtle ways comment upon race, gender, and class. How does the notion of time and duration impact on these categories?
While watching the first film I immediately noticed some of these issues come up. I'm not sure when the films were produced, sometime between the 60's and 70's I assume. At first when watching the Last Clean Shirt film I thought that the woman was the driver's lover. Now, after thinking about it, he was probably her driver. Just a friend that she was chatting with. I'm still not sure if this is correct, but it's what I assume. I don't think that interracial relationships were very common during that time.
The second film was about a girl from Europe that moved to NY,NY. Even though the film moved really slowly, I thought it was interesting. It offered a lot of different views of the city and gave us a perspective on time. The mother was very concerned about the girl, and always wanting her to write more. It sounded very typical of a mother/child relationship.
