24 September 2003
Why is it that doing the laundry is such a chore for me and then putting away the clean clothes is even more of a chore? Of course I don't have a washer/dryer in my house. Although the Laundromat is just across the street from my house, I believe that my "laundry block" stems from the feeling that the act of physically going to the Laundromat depresses me. Of course I go to the sleaziest cheapest Laundromat closest to home. First I have to let the dirty clothes pile up for 3 or 4 weeks and have been known to go to the thrift shop and buy new (old) clothes rather than doing the wash. Every time I drag my old lady shopping cart to the Laundromat my non-linear heart aches… Wow this is just like Brooklyn in 1985.

I'm doing the laundry in a sleazy Laundromat. How is my life really any different than it was 20 years ago? I'm still in a dirty Laundromat surrounded by New Wave Hipsters, Latino Women with children, and random White Trash… So yesterday's White Trash was the Psycho Tweaker dude we call Bicycle Boy (cause he steals bicycles of course.) Bicycle Boy is the one who stabbed my neighbor called "Animal" with a machete last month. Apparently "Animal" (also a Tweaker) didn't press charges, so Bicycle Boy is back on the streets. The neighbor who got stabbed moved on cause the guy who rented the apartment where he lived was busted by the Sheriff's Department for Dealing Speed and the Ladies who lived with him got a Prostitution rap. And just a block away "loft style" apartments are renting for $2000 a month. You see it really is Boerum Hill in 1985…or is it the East Village in 1986? and of course I've stopped in the middle of putting the clean clothes away to write this ……

The World Wide Web
While doing some research for a new film via the image query "hoola-hoop" I stumbled upon perhaps one of the most disturbing pics I've seen in awhile. My first impulse was to grab it for babyhans but my good sense tells me not to keep 'a certain type' of naked pic on my hard drive....
Equally disturbing but way more fun (and legal) is this diaper boy gallery sent to babyhans by Mark Allen.
Need a break from babyhans perversion? check out Tobias Bünter's Kim and Jim Digital Video. Thanks to Tobias for the link from his site. Is babyhans really 'oblique?' Well Tobias, you aren't the first person to say so.....
Last night as I was working on some vector images for the Pornstar Pets titles (pixel by pixel) I put on a pair of headphones and listened to Dr. Hyatt's Internet Radio Show. And you know what ? The time just flew by... When I was finished working, instead of feeling like I needed physical/psycho therapy from sitting in a chair/staring at a screen for too many hours ... I'd felt like I'd just had a lovely massage. Not to be missed is "The Cookie Monster Song" and the mix that contains "Me and My Rhythmn Box." Back in the 80's Nicky Kane used to say that I WAS the woman who sang that song. Do you think that he thought that I was wicked and deserved to be punished?
As some of you may or may not know I work at the LA Opera from time to time. I rarely reccommend a show but this month's production of La Damnation de Faust (composer: Berlioz) is pretty kick ass. Achim Freyer's set is like an acid trip from hell and definitely worth the 25. dollars the typical reader of babyhans can afford to spend on a Balcony seat. Of course babyhans sat in the most expensive seat in the house thanks to the Strudel Donkey who gave us the primo ticket......

Im working on a new series based on my obsession with babyhans search engine queries. Here's a sampling of images with more drawings and video to follow shortly....
...with video on the brain ... If you happen to be in Victoria Canada at the end of September you can see my video "TWEAK" at the Antimatter Festival of Short Underground Film and Video. It's playing Thurs. Sept 25th @ 9pm in the program entitled TWEAK: "A program of unrestrainable works dedicated to the obsessive,the incoherent, the inspired and the unimaginable!" ..... wish I could be there to hang with fellow OCD types......
the fun is over & now I'm off to the edit bay.....

Sunday Perversion- Pedophile Clowns & Sex Criminals
I'm a little late with this pedophile clown story but thanks to Cacophony Eric for the link! What Eric probably doesn't know is that I grew up in Westchester (New York that is) and when I was a kid Rye Playland was my local amusement Park and the Journal News
(formerly the Herald Statesman) was my local newspaper (delivered by a shaggy haired adolescent pot head who today just happens to be a successful movie producer) Quite honestly I have no memory of clowns from my childhood. Perhaps I came out of the womb streetwise - I always knew to stay far away....
So with Pedophilia in the news I was reminded of a certain long lost Schnibbe who happened to be listed online a couple of years back as a Tulsa Oklahoma Sex Offender. I was really embarrassed that someone with the same last name as me was a bonafide criminal perv and I'd hardly told a soul about it. Actually I was worried because at the time I was an internet pornographer and the company I'd worked for had submitted my "real" last name to the search engines. You see I was a legal perv, by the book, over 18 only, model releases and the like, but somehow certain family members may not have understood the HUGE difference between legal perversion and criminal activity..... So of course now that I want to tell the world about the TRUE Schnibbe perv the butch female pedophile has vanished- her memory a mere 404 error. ...
However, if you would like to see what a pedophile looks like sans the clown make-up, check out the Tulsa County Sheriff's Office database where you can search for sex offenders by zip code. Great Pics! BTW- If you're looking to move your family to Tulsa, may I suggest the zip 74156- There are no sex offenders living there at this time.
As the Gulagers would say: "Fuck Tulsa!" So why not find all the registered sex offenders in your own state. WARNING: you may get hooked searching for your friends and neighbors. Hope you have a dynamic IP or else the sheriiff might come knocking at your door.
After a couple of Sapporos I'm still hooked on the Schnibbe search and I've just discovered long lost cousin Marcus. Markus appears to have a big rig fetish and an deep love of backhoes. You should sign his guestbook even if you can't speak/read German. I suggest you follow my example and use English words that have no exact German translation. Think anything American Pop culture or internet related. If all else fails may I suggest Shadenfreude and all things Gummi...
I've also learned a couple of things about some close family members: My brother, whom all my life I'd suspected was a Republican, is really a Democrat (sorry Bob!) and my cousin Peter who used to be a wild thing actually plays golf.
schnibbe I'm not providing their links because no one really knows what part of the Schnibbe clan I descend from and I prefer to keep it that way because I've found a "Schnibbe" building in Williamsburg and the next time I'm home I'm going to attempt to homestead the place- claiming to be the rightful Schnibbe owner. You see I happen to be the only living long lost heir of the Schnibbe who built it. That building is mine baby!

Check out these pics from Tom and Jenna's Weds Night BBQ. A bunch of the usual BBQ Crew were at Burning Man this week so the crowd was a light.... which means that we actually got to eat the food we brought! The dude in the cowboy hat is the notorious Caroleann of Webbittown or the artist formerly know as Red Ed. He happened to be passing through LA on his way to Haight-Ashbury and was happy to run into the Gulager Clan who recognized him from his glamorous past in the East Village. So rumor has it that Carol sold his Burning Man ticket because he was taking meetings at Disney all week.

Tom & Jenna

Webbittown in the House
Apparently Disney has accepted his offer to purchase the Mighty Ducks Hockey Team and Carol was here with his high powered attorney fine-tuning the deal. The deal has something to do with the algorithms of a roulette wheel at the Luxor. See Webbittown's Live Journal for more.
So is it really true that if you've never experienced "the Burn" you never quite "get" what Burning Man is about? Quite honestly I don't regret missing the dirty "burn" but I am sorry that I missed the Polyamorists' Human Carcass Wash. Still don't "get" it? Read more about the essence of Burning Man.

Your Horoscope for August 29, 2003
SCORPIO
There have been numerous occasions in recent months when it seemed as if life was conspiring against you, that you were not getting the breaks you deserved. Now the situation will go in the opposite direction and lots of good things will start happening to you, and you probably don't deserve them either. Strange how things always seem to even out in the end.
Your Horoscope for August 27, 2003
SCORPIO
It is important that you aim as high as you possibly can today because the targets you set yourself over the next 24 hours will be the targets that mean most to you over the coming 12 months. Also, don't think you have to work alone. The more idealistic your aims, the more you should work with like-minded people. Together you can change the world.

Mr. Miller an I have just returned from a mini-vacans at the Downtown Standard. 18 hours of air-conditioned bliss. Sometime around a week or so ago Mr. Miller called me on my cell and I just a happened to be driving around in the inferno called 83 Volvo. I screamed "I hate my life I need a vacation" and voila Mr. Miller booked a room.
I'm thinking that maybe I should complain more and perhaps throw more tantrums. Isn't that how most girls get what they want? For much of my life I've felt like a man so I'm still learning about the wiley ways of women...
If like most of us, you've only seen the roof of the Standard via alcoholic haze, check out this killer room. Book your room on the net and they'll upgrade you- An upgrade means you get a view of something other than the wall of the building next door and Motrin only costs 3 dollars in the mini bar.

A co-worker and I played bumper cars today and I was the loser. Can you guess which vehicle I was driving? Car accidents always seem to happen in triple-time and then flash back in my mind over and over and over… all from my POV of course…. INT VOLVO: Margie POV: 1. Complicated intersection. 2.Left turn on the yellow light.3. Surprise red light immediately following the left. 3. Big cars to my right at freeway off-ramp. 4.CU Margie: Run the light or stop
5. EXT. VOLVO: Volvo stops at red light. INT. VOLVO: 6. Cut to rear view mirror: CU Stake bed taking the left behind me. 7. CU Margie: 24 ft. Stake bed isn't stopping. Run the light or hope he can stop or swerve away in time. (Better to get hit in the rear by truck or in the passenger side by SUV that may or may not take the green) 8. SUV at Freeway off-ramp. 9. Rear view Mirror: Stake bed slowing swerving to the right. 10. SLAM and CRUNCH Margie's body lurches forward & back…..taking it in the rear.
