Matryssey

'Two Armchairs,' was painted by Roy de Maistre in 1927, its strong abstract forms and tonal contrasts, the feathery brushwork are typical of his post-impressionist style in this period; a comment on a personal space as well as an exploration of a technical one.

A woman in a kimono leans forward, hand at her throat, emotional, unsighted. The quote continues: “ We give up some of our deepest attachments to others. We give up certain cherished parts of ourselves. We must confront, in the dreams we dream, as well as in our intimate relationships, all that we never will have and never will be. Passionate investment leaves us vulnerable to loss. And sometimes, no matter how clever we are, we must lose… It is only through our losses that we become fully developed human beings” I've been contemplating loss. Loss in the wider world (human rights, decency, compassion, freedom), how those losses impact my small world, and also the losses associated with living a life. Some attachments are willingly forgone - it was nothing to embrace a vegetarian lifestyle many years ago, for example.  A joy, even, which continues today.   Some attachments are severed, rather than given up - when people leave or physical abilities vanish in the blink of an eye (or at the blunt end of an accident).  And some attachments erode slowly over time, until one day you wake up and realize they are gone, whatever (or whoever) they were. In my best moments of loss-wrangling, I have embraced the empty space, allowing it to be just that - empty - knowing it creates room for opportunity. And in my worst moments of navigating loss I have held on with clenched fists, breathless and bracing myself, resisting the inevitable.  It never goes well. When I look back on all of the embraced empty spaces and what they have become, I am dazzled, gobsmacked and bowled over by the joy, the fortune, the pure magic of what came to fill those spaces.  And if I focus on that, the next renunciation is easier, more graceful and more peaceful. I am unsure how this works with the wider world and those losses, but I am contemplating it, allowing space for something, anything to make those losses feel like openings

This one means more to me than just music. Damon's vocals spark some anger in me, especially coupled with the lyrics and song title.

They might promise you

Today I’m showing off a prototype of a game art style I may use for my upcoming browser game, Mo Rockets. This was supposed to be a game about collecting cow eggs but it never made it past the prototyping phase.

I used to be friends with Michael Rapaport. Back when he was trying to call his ATCQ doc "Beats Rhymes and Fights" I asked him why he was focused on the arguments. He said it's because nobody will watch a film that has no conflict. Mike went the culture vulture route.
