Front Teeth ARE a Luxury.

FOUND Magazine is devoted to posting and publishing all the random notes, photographs, and letters found by their operatives. Some of the notes are hilarious, others scary, and the photographs are to die for. This is one of today's finds from the online magazine:

This is a fun, random site to check out, if only for the little glimpses into other people's heads and lives, essentially the artifact-based version of looking through windows on a night-time walk of the city, as discussed in a previous post.

This also reminds me of theatre school, specifically an Intro to Directing course taught by Canadian Theatre Superstar Judith Thompson. We were supposed to create a performance based on `found text', essentially using words randomly `found' in everyday life as the script for a scene, so that we could focus our creative energies on the whole of the piece, and not the words of the text, as most of us with extensive acting backgounds would tend to do. My friend Brian based his scene on the instructions found on the inside of his washing machine lid. I based mine on the Miles Davis version of `Summertime'. The key to getting a great mark in this class was to bear an emotionally-torn, tragedy-stricken soul to the light of the stage, and critique of the class, and cruise to an A+.

I hope I never have to deal with this front tooth issue. Yikes!
