Eternity through the stars
Aug. 18th, 2012 05:09 pmI seriously think someone's playing a prank on us or someone flushed a hand grenade down the toilet.
Small world indeed: I met a few people at the ICA (almost wrote CIA… geez) and they all had these painted wood necklaces and one of them went to high school with Zack from the Wildlife Center. Sierra (like the sadistic video game producer and font of puns worse than anything the Boston Herald writers can think of) said her mom owned a raccoon long ago. And she is going to make glass beads and stuff. And her favorite artist is Gustav Klimt. She says the white makes things stand out more, and yeah it makes her feel a little lightheaded. It made my head ache. Not the painful stabbing kind of headaches I usually get, but like my skull is twice its normal size and there's a gravity inhibitor inside.
and look, oronoda, if people who are artists and people who appreciate art beyond generic dark elves like my artwork, that means they're right and you're wrong.
there was a television screen showing a woman lip-syncing to answering machine messages. it reminds me of The Iron Dragon's Daughter.
and a room of mirrored projected videos, and you could look up into infinity and sideways into tesseracts, and there was an ambience that sounded like Merzbow did the music to Orphan's Cradle.
Final Fantasy, and not The Fountainhead, needs to be the influence on architecture.
"eternity through the stars"
is an exhibit
and also, it is a title.
the first thing that comes up is Marxists.org
I have that site bookmarked because there's a William Morris story on it.
Even if I hate reading in browsers and prefer Preview.
I don't know if that influences my google searches.
but I'd be annoyed if my previous history had anything to do with my search results
because I really don't want to sort through irrelevant sites to find what I'm looking for
and people get trapped in bubbles of "alternative news sources" aka "blogs" that are more about propagating their worldview than they are about propagating information.
"the universe is a sphere whose center is everywhere and surfaces is nowhere."
"the eternity of space is melancholy, sadder even than the isolation of worlds separated by the inexorable barrier of space."
and the room was filled with weird black and white photogravures
I gave up after typing two of them on my ipod, not understanding how people can text so fast.
google search has brought me to virtually unreadable text.
the universe is eternal but its stars are perishable.
every celestial body has always existed and will always exist in an infinite series of reproductions.
the role of the stars is to ignite, to shine brightly, and finally to extinguish
despite its everlastingness, the universe of a moment ago is no longer that of today.
it reminds me of kayo dot in a way.
"tell me why, world, unfathomable and good. the beauty of everything is infinite and cruel."
and there were chandeliers
in one room was a video screen displaying abstract images and it sounded a bit like Merzbow.
another room had these metal globes with lamps like molecules or a model of the universe.
"How do we keep them walking too far west? Impassible bog or mountain?"
"No, how about... INSTANT DEATH SCORPIONS!"
"How about getting past the yeti? Maybe some kind of rigged up Archimedes parabolic heat ray?"
"No, no, we need something much more twee and cliché... what's the corniest thing we can think of?"
"Now this item in the roc's nest is easy to miss and makes the game unwinnable."
"Yeah, so?"
this is a post on Telebunny about King's Quest V. Actually, the INSTANT DEATH SCORPIONS keep you from going too far east, or rather, too far south in the scrublands. If you try to go west of the bandit camp, Graham will just run out of water and die.
I know I've said this before, but I find this so offensive I need to repeat it as much as possible: The worst thing about King's Quest V is the first floor of Mordack's castle, because the cat can appear prematurely or the blue beast can appear after you've knocked him out with the bag of peas. I think everyone except for me had the first situation happen to them. And you know Sierra did that on purpose, because they know how to not trigger an event unless the item you need for it is in your inventory so you don't accidentally trigger it and make the game unwinnable. Gaah.
Brazilian twins of Lithuanian descent did all the stuff in one room. They call themselves Os Gemeos, which is Portuguese for The Twins.
There's a work by them on the Greenway. I didn't see that, but I saw this fish mosaic on a building on my walk from the ICA to the North End. FOX commenters, who are worse than war, murder, and dark elves, hated it and called him a terrorist. Salon called it a Rorschach test for idiots and racists. I think he looks like the T-Shirt Ninja. The best thing anyone said about it is this: They would think the statue of David is pornographic.
I think they look like demented Simpsons characters, with a policeman-fused-with-a-flanitor. They all have speakers for mouths, except for one with a television and a few others.
Sierra thinks they're planning a train robbery. I think they're collecting discarded cans and refunding them at the store.
Sierra says the glass looks like logarithmic spirals.
He talked about mathematics in nature, like the fibonacci spiral and the golden ratio (they're related)
i^i is a real number. I bet that blew your mind. Ok, actually, it's infinitely many real numbers.
This is The Ancient of Days. I think her name was Claudia, who thought I looked exactly like her neighbor had it tattooed on her shoulder, along with a dagron on her back, and a crescent and star on her wrist. Not to be confused with the Second Book of Confluence or the Michael Bishop novel. Claudia likes seagulls and thinks the red spots that the chicks peck at looks like lipstick.
This is a seagull chick.
Man! I Feel Like A Woman! is such a terrible song. There are things that are worse. And I listened to so much Kayo Dot it was purged from my mind.
and I met someone who had a chair made of old computer parts where she worked and was a cat lady but not a crazy cat lady who throws cats at people and speaks in garbledina language.
Burning Question: So, what's the corniest way to defeat a yeti you can think of?
