wolven7Voltaire - [They Know Me]--- So... shall we? You don't get the dreams, right now, because they were too intricate, and it's Night. I'll do it, tomorrow, when/whether i pen tomorrow's dreams, here. Anyway, as i was saying, before.. I watched all of Lain, yesterday. And... you know... it wasn't that bad. I understood it all, and i got what was trying to be said... It was a pretty damn good show... i liked the premise a LOT. If you've not yet seen it, then do yourself a favour and pick it up. Certainly a trip. You have to be willing to wrap your head around some things...
kidneythieves - [Serene Dream]--- It's strange... I look at all of these things that scare people, or freak them out, or that they don't understand... and so much is strange, to me, that's not, to them... I find Human Interaction strange, and they find the Idea of an Existing And Non-Existing God/Universe/Void strange... i guess that makes us even... or something... But i try to understand... Fuck it. What do you people want? I'd like to know, here and now, what you think it is that you want or need, from me. (Carmina Burana - [Dulcissime]). Because i've asked what you need... some of you... so what do you Want? We'll see if i can give it.
The Changelings - [Flowers Cover Your Eyes]--- The thing about Lain was that it was very Formalistic. A lot of the Upper/Lower, Representational thing... and no one i talk to, these days seems to understand what i mean when i say that something is an analogue, or a metaphor, but that that does nothing to decrease its power. That if you destroy the metaphor that we use to understand the thing, the thing itself is as good as gone. "Where I come from, we get six months of snow and ice... In midwinter the sun rises at Noon, sets an hour or so later. There's never any certainty that the sun will ever come back. Someone could just stick a sharpened sprig of mistletoe through it's heart and, well, GAME OVER. Winter Darkness Forever." So, the analogue is dead, and the whole thing shuts down... Think about that.
Deadsy - [Key To Gramercy Park]--- Some people want to say that the world is Digital. That we are nothing but a series of 1 and 0 sets. Yeah? And? The key, here, is that it's all, quite simply, in the way we fucking Perceive Shit to Be. I think that everything is made up of Atoms. Ok. Atoms are Monkeys. Ok. Monkeys are made of Quarks. Sure. Quarks are lemmings. Fine. Anyway, i'm babbling like MAD. For the love of FUCK someone say something cogent in the Yeah or Nay, about this... I'm off to watch Horrid Television. YAY!!! *blearg!*
Later
