When I was a kid, I *really* wanted a pet monkey. I didn’t care that they were mean and had to have their diapers changed…I would have done anything to be the kid cruising around town with his pet monkey. My parents got me a lizard instead. In a futile attempt to go back to those days…this is an archive of things that I can get that excited about.Tumblr (3.0; @mnkylv)http://www.monkeylove.net/<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://assets.tumblr.com/swf/audio_player_black.swf?audio_file=http://www.tumblr.com/audio_file/23494327489/tumblr_m4e2clviBW1qea6vu&color=FFFFFF" height="27" width="207" quality="best" wmode="opaque"></embed><br/><br/><p><img alt="Etgar Keret" height="172" src="http://www.kcrw.com/etc/programs/bw/bw120510etgar_keret_suddenly/bw120510Etgar_Keret_Suddenly480x172.jpg" width="480"/></p> <p>…And here is Etgar on KCRW.  He closes the interview by reading the story “Parrallel Universes”.  </p>http://www.monkeylove.net/post/23494327489http://www.monkeylove.net/post/23494327489Mon, 21 May 2012 16:02:00 -0400<a href="http://www.kcrw.com/etc/programs/bw/bw120510etgar_keret_suddenly">Etgar Keret : Suddenly, a knock at the door </a>: <p><img alt="Suddenly, A Knock at the Door" height="371" src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2kxzosSGe1qf08vco1_500.jpg" width="242"/></p> <p>I am a fan of everything Etgar Keret … This collection of short stories is really fantastic.</p>http://www.monkeylove.net/post/23444784692http://www.monkeylove.net/post/23444784692Sun, 20 May 2012 19:32:00 -0400<iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/40000072?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0" width="400" height="225" frameborder="0"></iframe><br/><br/><p><span>Caine’s Arcade</span></p>http://www.monkeylove.net/post/21024794362http://www.monkeylove.net/post/21024794362Fri, 13 Apr 2012 10:45:41 -0400“If you worship money and things, if they are where you tap real meaning in life, then you will never have enough, never feel you have enough. It’s the truth. Worship your body and beauty and sexual allure and you will always feel ugly. And when time and age start showing, you will die a million deaths before they finally grieve you…Worship power, you will end up feeling weak and afraid, and you will need ever more power over others to numb you to your own fear. Worship your intellect, being seen as smart, you will end up feeling stupid, a fraud, always on the verge of being found out. But the insidious thing about these forms of worship is not that they’re evil or sinful, it’s that they’re unconscious. They are default settings.They’re the kind of worship you just gradually slip into, day after day, getting more and more selective about what you see and how you measure value without ever being fully aware that that’s what you’re doing.”<br/><br/> - <em><p>David Foster Wallace</p> <p>[<a href="http://ronniedearest.tumblr.com/post/5566700244/if-you-worship-money-and-things-if-they-are-where" target="_blank">source</a>]</p> <p>(via <a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://naranzarian.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">naranzarian</a>)</p></em>http://www.monkeylove.net/post/20603639627http://www.monkeylove.net/post/20603639627Fri, 06 Apr 2012 15:15:49 -0400<iframe width="400" height="225" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/kctOpTQtyUg?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p>Jeff, who lives at home.  Saw this tonight and was really into it.  I loved Cyrus and loved this too.</p>http://www.monkeylove.net/post/20204926261http://www.monkeylove.net/post/20204926261Fri, 30 Mar 2012 22:48:20 -0400<iframe width="400" height="225" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/YiiGRzkxpuU?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p>Hong Kong Fixie Hardcore (by <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YiiGRzkxpuU&feature=share" target="_blank">freshyin</a>)</p>http://www.monkeylove.net/post/20065769230http://www.monkeylove.net/post/20065769230Wed, 28 Mar 2012 12:22:21 -0400<iframe width="400" height="225" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ebtGRvP3ILg?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p>Girls first Ski Jump (by <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebtGRvP3ILg&feature=share" target="_blank">UK2NZ2NC2UT</a>)</p>http://www.monkeylove.net/post/19460705739http://www.monkeylove.net/post/19460705739Sat, 17 Mar 2012 13:41:23 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0ojgiPS5U1qzt8poo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://kurtbraunohler.tumblr.com/post/19068459910/willlaren-rip-moebius-the-world-has-lost-a" class="tumblr_blog" target="_blank">kurtbraunohler</a>:</p> <blockquote><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://willlaren.tumblr.com/post/19065303246/rip-moebius-the-world-has-lost-a-supremely-weird" target="_blank">willlaren</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>RIP MOEBIUS.
