I don't speak or read any Portuguese, but there's something about the way the letters cling together to former words and phrases that is aesthetically appealing, independent from any meaning. Today, during my daily perusal of all websites written in Portuguese, I discovered an unsettling picture of what looks like a dead Amy Winehouse, lying next to an also dead Minnie Mouse on BBCBrasil.com. Not being able to understand what the article said, I googled "amy winehouse dead," and the first two things that came up were amywinehousedead.com and whenwillamywinehousedie.com. Morbid. So with the article being all I had to go by, I scoured it for clues.

Coming down from your post-electoral high? Excellent. With November 4 receding into the dark, faraway recesses of your minds, it's time to start penciling other events through Turkey Day (yet another time of the year when America as a nation will shut down and sublimate their anxieties through consumption). And with your low-art quota of the month no doubt fulfilled by the release of Beyoncé's allegedly edgy double album, what better way to usher in a triumphant new era of intellectualism by paying a visit to a local art gallery? "The Unforgiven" is a group show being held at Manhattan's Stellan Holm Gallery. Featuring new work by Dan Attoe and Jason Brooks along with work by William S. Burroughs and Andy Warhol, the show opens this Friday and runs through early December.
