That creeping feeling that what you thought was a real convenience store has actually had its products replaced with prop products. And that maybe you’ve been Truman-Show-ed.

You might think this is a box of crackers, but it’s actually a DVD boxed set.

The Crunchmaster Cycle, Mathew Barney’s lesser known five part film series. Features crackers being moved around a game board as if as avatars for a game of baseball. “SATISFY YOUR CRUNCH” was an oft repeated catchphrase.

Box of crackers. The label reads: “MULTI-SEED
CRUNCHMASTER®

Posting these for reasons.

A frame holding ephemera from the Jejune Institute. A sticker warning of harassing microwave emanations, a postcard with a hole where coit tower should be(which can be seen through the hole), and a metal placard saying that fences will soon be obsolete.

A cubby with more Jejune Institute items, including the elsewhere envelope, a golden mixtape envelope, the case holding a golden mixtape, a wooden coin, and a golden boombox made to resemble the one in Chapter 4 of the experience.

If you want to understand my brain: Ten hours ago, I saw a sign on a storefront that was crooked. Not intentionally crooked, just a smidge crooked. Not a temporary sign — a full, dimensional, mounted to the side of a building sign. It’s 11:30pm. I’m laying in bed thinking about the crooked sign.
