nudes ascending a couch no. 2 (after Duchamp)

I think I may need to retitle this picture - it is attracting the wrong kind of traffic to my Flickr account.
The boys, after the bath last night, running wild, like the futurist dream they are.
I watched Waltzing with Bashir last night. It is excellent - just excellent. And I read the graphic novel The Rabbi's Cat, by Joann Sfar, about a cat in a re-imagined early 20th century Algeria - self-described as "nocturnal, unpredictable, and deeply ethical." And I'm reading Alice Munro for my class. My student described the impact of her stories as a "maka yevesha" which means, roughly, a dry bruise - a harsh blow deliberately placed so it will not show a mark. The term comes from army interrogations.
