emotional miser

A person who doesn't give much to others on an emotional level. He or she may be socially adept and charming and quite generous in other ways, but not when it comes to investing love and trust and friendship in fellow human beings. It could be a form of self-defense or it could be a kind of selfishness, or both. The pop cultural consensus is that emotional misers are missing out on the essential human experience by their disconnection. A common story arc features an emotional miser's transformation into a loving, connected, happier person -- often against his or her own will.

Ryan Bingham (George Clooney's character in Up in the Air) and Will Freeman (Hugh Grant's character in About a Boy) are examples of emotional misers in film and literature.

modern art

Flicking various colours off the tip of a paint brush, then using black paint to draw some squiggly lines, often finishing with finger painting and handprints. Child's art with a signature in the corner.

--or--

Making a fair quality sculpture of a person, animal or both... then removing the limbs, burning away the features and making it generally unrecognisable.

Such oddities are adored by the PoMo (post-modern) elites and thier hangers on.

At an art gallery showcasing some modern art

Ordinary person: What the.....

Pomo sycophant: You unculteréd and unciviliséd méss; It's modern art. Geat with it!!

Ordinary person: It's a carrot with a fucking flag on it. How is that art?

Modern Family

a sitcom on abc which is absolutely hilarious. it's about 3 families, all somehow linked -- and their modern situations. one family is this rich, old guy who has a hot colombian wife who has a chubby son. the rich old guy has 2 kids, a daughter who is a mother with a family (family number two) and a gay son with a partner and adopted chinese daughter (family number three)

this show is brilliant.

I love modern family because it's realistically hilarious.

equal misery

The supreme balance achieved only when professional, social and family interactions reach equally profound levels of distaste and offense.
