CreativiDream - A little bit of madness every night

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

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

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 research the spiritual/political aspects [...]

Bit of a Mess - More Creative Compost

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

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

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

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

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

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 [...]

Conflusion

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

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 [...]

It’s all in your head - Ways of Listening

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 [...]

Violence in Action - Or how I learnt to stop worrying and love the abuse of Human Rights

So, last post I looked at the detachment of reality and media images of reality, and generally pondered how much our view of reality is shaped by media sources. This is a simple and obvious statement…the medium is indeed the massage…or whatever.
What keeps on striking me though is how blatant the cinema industry is at [...]
