BUSTER'S FAVORITES

this was a big week for me and the subways. 

i rode on more subways this week than i probably have in months. and all kinds of subways, cross town subways and down town subways and above ground subways and outer borough subways and subways that were easily a million degrees hotter than the sun, not to mention swampy.  

huck and i have been watching this weird cartoon lately about a bunch of animals on wheels. (who engineered these animals on wheels? and then left them to fend for themselves in the jungle?) they were all excited about this certain flower which smells like whatever your favorite scent is in the world. i thought about it (way too much, you'll see in a minute) and decided that my flower would smell like an approaching subway train on a really hot, sweltering day underground. it kind of smells like humidity and grease and relief, and it comes with such a powerful breeze that it cools your sweat and makes your head tingle and gives you the chills in the best possible way.  

and now i kiiiind of want to talk more about jungle junction. 

so, in my head this cartoon is a sort of dystopian universe where science has gone way wrong in the wilds. like, some kind of mad scientist or evil engineer, or maybe he had good intentions? creates these bizarre animals--truly they are ungodly, these animals. this makes the show sort of hysterically disturbing for me to watch. some further questions i have: do you think elevan was designed to be a passenger van? or more for cargo? what would you do with a frog on wheels? something disturbing i'm guessing... will this devolve into some kind of lord of the flies situation? who's in charge? it's not that pink pig, is it? or is it every animal thing for itself? who sends the gasoline so that they can run? DO they run on gasoline? what happens when they all rust out and are filled with vines and some future civilization discovers them? will this civilization be darwinian and now have to assume that they'd somehow evolved from these creatures with wheels? i am over thinking this.

here are some of buster's favorite shots from this week, with help from the holbsphone (that shot of times square is his view from work!) and the many phones at the fred flare hq.
