speaking again of art, i heard that james franco hosted snl last night. past my bedtime. but he rocks on on general hospital. like ed ruscha, he's a twisted, vicious serial killer but on the plus side a gifted young artist (except that ed ruscha isn't a serial killer [probably], isn't gifted, isn't young, and isn't an artist). i wonder whether, when franco did maxie on the floor of his studio/torture facility, he understood that he was doing zenon, space girl, i.e. kirsten storms? yes!: that's a tiny raven-symone standing behind her. (i have raised daughters, now 21 and 9). well zenon: girl of the 21st century wasn't real good, but it was better than zenon: the zequel, which in turn was better than ed ruscha's "visual interpretation of winter."
