I posted this on facebook today: I stepped in dog shit twice this morning - once on the way to class and then on the return home - possibly in the same pile (I only noticed the first time once I arrived to the classroom)......I'm trying to find an aesthetic attitude toward this morning and these happenings....all I can say now is if you have a dog, and particularly if you live in an apartment complex, please, please pick up your dog's shit (this is a moment where I do appreciate cats).
My friend Carrie, then, sent me this article about and video of David Lynch (one of my favorite directors and writers): http://www.openculture.com/2013/02/david_lynch_talks_candidly_about_his_99_favorite_photographs.html
There is certainly a cultural attraction/repulsion aesthetic attitude towards poop. Take a look at this video: http://youtu.be/yMLQX0Zv7Pc.
