Woman Made Gallery

Attention Chicago-heads!

Or anyone visiting Chicago in March!

I worked with a talented Korean video artist named Sujin Lee on a video piece that explores speech, race, and the translation of culture and language. It is now being shown at the Woman Made Gallery on 685 N Milwaukee Dr. in Chicago. Check out a description here. I haven’t seen the piece, but it will be up until March 29. Anyone passing through Chicago, take a peep and report back. That’s an order, soldier!

Also, I have bad posture.

Also, I went to an acupuncturist about my tendonitis which is approaching carpel tunnel (read: BOO BOO BOO) and she cupped my back, which is when they take these little glass round bulbs, heat them up to create a vacuum, and suck the crap out of your muscles. Not entirely sure what it does–maybe sucks out the ‘itis’ out of the tendons or maybe it sucks out demons–but let me tell you, it’s like getting really really big hickeys on your back.

Eastern medicine and I have a strange relationship. Which is to say, I’m not entirely convinced it works, but I keep going and trying stuff because the Western stuff doesn’t work either. But I guess in the end, I’m just spending money on Eastern and Western treatments and I’m still sitting here, hunched over with sore wrists and fingers and complaining about it. There has to be another option, though right? It’s America. We have options. What about Northern medicine? No one ever talks about that. Please advise.

    People, if you don’t buy Annie’s book, you will be profoundly remiss. For you will have missed out on a cultural awakening. An orgasm of our very culture. You won’t understand people’s jokes. Saturday Night Live skits will be lost on you. Everyone will hate you. Think about it.

  2. Vanilla Ice:

    No seriously, buy the book. All the cool kids will be doing it. You’ll be, like, a total loser if you don’t buy the book. Word to your mutha.

  3. Anderson Cooper:

  4. Doretta:

    I have a crush on Annie.

  6. Tino:

    Love your writting, very funny and witty and entirely entertaining!! By the way if your looking to improve posture I highlt reccomend a Ballet Class, it is better than any medical technique and it builds the muscles reposible for good posture.

  7. Justin:

    I have been convinced to buy Annie’s book, because it will make me a better person, cease world hunger, increase number of pirates globally and decrease green house gas emissions. Do the world a favour, buy her book.
