They brought rope.

Third graders rise up!

It's because only the youth, being yet wild, are aware that we grown-up monkeys have fucked things up bigtime.

Does it surprise you? Remember how mean they were? Remember your threatening songs? Remember how they did not respect you? Made you cry? Are you that tame? Whatever happened to your wild spirit? There is no reason that there needs to be so much pain in training, pain in living in one of the endless system of flimsy boxes.

Should we make the choice to create a false idol that speaks to us in a voice we can understand?

It's all set in the future, so the fantasy doesn't have to get snuffed yet. Stories burn easy when they are created in an empty space. Energy cycles.

Does it surprise you?

More internet TV

Huzzah BBC! The Brits offer us sad Norte Americanos a different perspective on postmodern times. USA public TV doesn't even come close to asking these kinds of challenging (and slightly histrionic) questions.

I have so much to say about the subjects about these bits that I don't even really want to say anything. It's been hard for me to find what kind of voice I want to speak in through my art, and, as I am hyperbusy, I've decided to keep it a bit bottled-up. Oh - I'm only throwing the first of these series in - they are both longish.

I like this documentary. It reinforces some romantic myths that make it easier for me to deal with things.



And this one is nicely dramatic, but I think for a good reason.

Information specificity quandary

This is my favorite English sentence, and it contains five a's, one b, three c's, three d's, thirty-one e's, six f's, two g's, seven h's, sixteen i's, one j, one k, two l's, two m's, twenty-four n's, seventeen o's, one p, one q, nine r's, thirty-four s's, twenty-two t's, four u's, six v's, seven w's, six x's, six y's, and one z.

You have to think for a second to realize that this sentence is more specific than most. 

I found this on Vleeptron_Z, a blog I've been reading lately.

I'm sorry for not writing more. There are reasons, Detra, but I'll not go into them.
