We caught Laurie Anderson tonight at BAM. Her show The End of the Moon is based on her two year stint as the first (and apparently last) Artist in Residence at NASA. I liked it, though listening to a monologue for close to two hours can be a bit of a challenge for me (really, honestly I only close my eyes, I was truly awake for the first half hour. Honest.).

Now, thanks to Misha, I am watching Lisa play Katamari Damacy, which I honestly can't describe but this timely writeup at timely writeup at kottke.org does some justice to the game. I mean, basically you roll a ball around the screen trying to make it bigger by picking up items. It's like something I would have played on an Apple // when I was a kid, but with better graphics and an insane Japanese pop music soundtrack. All I can say is this: it's lasting longer in the house than The SIMS did.
