In a world of sometimes unbearable ugliness, beauty becomes terribly important.



This is a picture of half-Russian, half-Japanese model Rina Ohta in the new edition of Fudge magazine.

And this is a beautiful song by Juana Molina (from her Domino album Son) called Malherido.

Ugh. When I was 8 I campaigned (read: nagged and bothered) myself to death to try and get everyone to stop eating wild fish, because according to my own calculations I thought they'd very soon be extinct. But everyone just hated me for it so I stopped. Now I have a very sad feeling of 'I told you so.'

Time to go back to watching Sparks videos on YouTube, I think.

a lot of problems that affect the wild fish population is caused by the diseases incurred by farmed fish (at least it is here in BC with the salmon.)

i think the whole world needs to just curtail consumption of *everything* in general :(

That's kind of an ugly sentence.

The song is beautiful.

give up the fish

<< There will be virtually nothing left to fish from the seas by the middle of the century if current trends continue, according to a major scientific stud >>

Why is it ugly when species go extinct? It's evolution. I am reminded of a story I read in 2004 in the Wall Street Journal. About a donkey species that was dying out, but the species was so fucking adorable, that all these volunteer middle aged US women were trying to keep it from going extinct. They tried to entice the male donkeys, who had no sex drive but were given donkey viagra, to mate with the females. Neither male nor female wanted to copulate.

But the American women kept insisting the species not die out!

I say if the breed stops wanting to have sex, it's time to let them go.

recognizing beauty needs time. if you can spend time on something or someone continuously, beauty will be revealed.

I suspect the extreme fishing going on is because the new trend and rising popularity of omega-3 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omega_3). But most people don't know it can be extracted from botanical sources aswell(Flax, Lingoberry, Sea Buckthorn, Shiso, etc). Quite a dumb trend really.

Fair point, although I understnad that omega-3 fatty acids are most effetive, anticoagulantly speaking, when taken in the form of fish oil. No?

Doesn't referring to a population of wild animals as "stocks," as if they're already sitting in the pantry, show an amazing arrogance on our part? As if they were put there just for us.

Lovely song, by the way.

What a stunningly beautiful woman.
And that song = !

Maybe somehow we'll be able to restore wild sea-creatures, rather than face a future of eating disgusting farmed salmon with pink-dyed skins.

The fish will be fine, the fishermen won't be.


Which is good. We can't keep on subsidizing carriage salesmen in an age of automobiles.

She kind-of looks like you - at least, the pictures I've seen. It's funny sometimes ... the people we consider beautiful are the people we most see ourselves in.
