Arthur Russel – This is how we walk on the moon
Basically, I feel a little guilty about not posting since forever, so I’m making up for it with a super short post full of delightful videos. It’s something at least.
We start off with the song that’s been in my soul lately. [...]

CreativiDream – A little bit of madness every night

Posted on 3 February 2008. Filed under: Creation, Creativity, Death, Dreams, Intricate, Mind |

So, this isn’t going to make much sense, but it was wonderful. Essentially, I’ve just woken up from a particularly intense barrage of dreams, but I’ve got to go somewhere pretty soon (Tai Chi practice marathon) so can’t go too in depth, I just want to cement some of what happened.
It all started with what [...]

Back after these brief messages

Posted on 21 November 2007. Filed under: Creativity, Dreams, Gaming, Narrative, PC Games |

So, I don’t usually plug stuff, obviously. But apparently gametap are offering Psychonauts for free to people who come under it’s license. That means anyone in North America can get one of the greatest and most imaginative games of all time for free, until the end of the year.
Now, I actually think a lot of [...]

Buy Real Estate in Imaginary Places

Posted on 22 October 2007. Filed under: Conflusion, Confused, Creativity, Imagination, Music, Ramble, Rant, Shoddy Conclusions, Weird |

So, Busdriver’s been inspiring me, but more below than above. I just thought you might want to know why I called the post that.
Also, would anyone who wants to help my creative composting pass comments on yesterday’s post, as I need help.
I also need to know how the hell I can [...]

Bit of a Mess – More Creative Compost

Posted on 21 October 2007. Filed under: Composting, Creativity, Ideas, Nanowrimo, Writing |

More filler (though actually, last post ended up sparking some awesome conversations, and all the content is only going to bring up my stats, even if it is just more people looking for nudity and weird sex).
I’ve had a very messy weekend, lots of fun, far too much self pity, and I converted all my [...]

Creativity – Straight Edges and Dead Horses

Posted on 24 September 2007. Filed under: Creativity, Drinking, Mind, Reading, Straight Edge, Writing, life |

So.
Ever since I was ill (I’m still getting tired easily and so taking it easy…but I’m definitely better now), I’ve been in a very creative mindset. Thoughts following in slightly more coherent chains than usual, and getting somewhere…and staying there so I have time to analyse.
These a fat and lugubrious times.
I don’t know what lugubrious [...]

Hopes and Schemes – The Promise of Fiction

Posted on 15 March 2007. Filed under: Artistry, Being a 'writer', Books, Creativity, Critique, Hope, Imagination, Narrative, Possibility, Ramble, Rant, Sci-Fi, Science Fiction, Telepathy, Thoughts, Writing |

So, I have this problem.
I love reading, I really love reading. I’ve got huge stacks of books left to read and I’ve read huge stacks of book. The one problem is that bigger than either of these stack, is the stacks of books I’ve started but not finished.
I’m terrible at it.
I’ve started two books in [...]

Beyond the Sea

Posted on 28 February 2007. Filed under: Change, Character Development, Creativity, RPG, Sea, Taoism, Thoughts |

Just posting a little bit I wrote for some character speculation. We’ve got a future Taoist deciding to leave life in a underdeveloped country to seek the Bright Lights of the Genetically engineered world of tomorrow.
It’s mostly thoughts I had while watching the Ocean. I regret to say that unlike the narrator, I failed to [...]

Perchance to Wake? – The Science of Sleep

Posted on 21 February 2007.

So, indeed, I did watch the Science of Sleep the night before last. I enjoyed it massively, in fact it was an incredibly personally affective film for me. A little nerve-wracking almost, for all the naive silliness that goes on. I’ll explain in a moment.
First off let me mention that the french title is shown [...]

Slow Painful Progress – Moods and Trolls

Posted on 12 February 2007.

So, I am still maintaining some kind of forward motion on the nano. I finally got the ball rolling again.
Only problem is it’s going incredibly slowly.
I kinda took the weekend off and spent most of it absolutely bladdered…or at best hungover. This was good in a way, but in fact I think I would’ve preferred [...]

So, it’s miles off from the full moon and everything’s gone a little weird.
I think I’m having fun. In principle at least.
I keep on not thinking about what I’m saying and just splurging random sentences based on things I can see or smell or am remembering. Poor Mr Subliminal had to put up with me [...]

A Quantum Awakening – Scroedinger’s Vikings

Posted on 20 January 2007. Filed under: Being a 'writer', Big Brother, Creativity, Feeling Rough, Geekery, How to write, Internet, Investigation, Learning, Mild Mania, Nanowrimo, Novel, Quantum Physics, Science, Swings and Roundabouts, Thoughts, Vikings, Wikipedia, Writer's Block |

Random research sometimes yields better results than anything specific.
Following a link  on an article about the iPhone (current wordpress number one) led me to Schroedinger’s cat, which I’ve known about for years. Anyway, I looked at the related links and found some interesting stuff. Most useful perhaps was the bit on Quantum Suicide.
Now this I’d [...]

Yield To Total Elation

Indeed I will, I shall and I have been for the last hour.
The track (YTTE by Matmos) is only 9 minutes and seven seconds long. It is rare that I repeat a track this many times. But it’s just so damn good. Before I start talking about the music though..a bit of background.
Here’s what the [...]

Day…Today…Indeed

I had a day today. Not quite finished it yet, but I thought I’d jot some thoughts down as I’ve been quiet for a coupla days.
I got practically no sleep, with what I did get performed entirely in stops and starts. I need to figure out a good way of forcing myself to sleep…but forcing [...]

So, this is about a lot of discussions I have with people. It’s about music, but it’s not going to be just like my random reviews of music. I want to look in a bit more depth at why I like music so much, and some of the kind of processual analysis of music that [...]

    Alabaster Crippens doesn't entirely believe in objective truth, therefore he can neither confirm or deny the accuracy of any statement, image or impression caused by, or displayed on, these pages of the so called 'internet'. He does however not want to get sued, even if the lawyers, legal system, and the concept of jurisprudence doesn't exist. Therefore if you believe the nonsense posted on here you do so entirely at your own risk. In other words: Don't sue me 'cause I might not mean it. Basically, anything you hear from anyone is unreliable, so if you want the 'truth' you need the perspectives of as many people as you can get..ideally people who are trustworthy and close to the particular 'truth' you wish to inspect. If you start trusting idiots with silly (and obviously made up) names then you're developing some kind of problem. Check your sources, examine their own politcal (or other) motivation, remember that anything people say is opinion unless you are certain that they speak the 'truth'. Even your own eyes can lie. Trust me on that one. Or don't..it doesn't bother me. Finally, everything written here is, to the best of my knowledge written by me and I reserve my right to be recognised as the author of these works. Any input from other sources should be clearly shown, if you note a mistake or anything..tell me..I'll try and sort out the problem. Please ask me if you want to use anything for commercial reasons...I probably won't mind but I need to know I'm not supporting anything I don't want to support. This is an attempt at a legal notice written without legal knowledge. Just follow the principles, I think most of you get what I mean, even if it won't stand up in a court of law. Just be polite you know...like in the good ole days.
