I caved and ordered a new(to me) gpu. time will tell if I financially recover from this

Give me art where someone decided it needed to exist so much that they devoted a significant portion of their limited time on Earth to create it.

May I interest you in a glass of red?

I’ve been reallllly enjoying this Tower Dungeon manga. Something about slowly unfurling low to high fantasy stories make me do that dance Shannon Sharpe does when he drinks a Sprite

🙂

yeh, might be time to start reading Solo Leveling. gonna miss the weekly dopamine from the anime series every Saturday

started playing with pocket operator for pixel this week. I'll have to figure out getting better audio, I recorded all this from built in speakers -> built in phone mic

had a hunch that turned into frenzied research, that turned into a eureka moment that kept me up allllll night. I’m tired af, but excitement got the cogs turning

‘Children of the night, only some will star the sky’

It don’t always work out!

-into the uncertain future, having learned from the cautionary tale in his personal life was important to me but also bittersweet. In many ways I feel like I’m just one of those cautionary tales myself now. We all won’t get to make the semi-autobio work about it working out in hindsight because,

I came away the movie satisfied but also kinda sad. And not really for the characters in the movie, kinda for myself I guess. I’ve heard some version of it the ‘this shit(following your passions) will break your heart’ quiet a few times from artists/filmmakers/industry pros and seeing Sam advance

How a dream deferred leads to other dysfunctions, settling/compromise creating existential crises, all that shit really hit home. Third act has some stuff that doesn’t have to make sense because some times there’s not a reason for the things we do

Completely forgot to return to this 😆 Nah I really liked how whimsical the act of creation was depicted, how it was a compulsion to be answered, with the sacrifice required to indulge your passion played out in both Sam and his mothers lives.

Will allow my introspection to simmer, concise thoughts on the film in the morning

Ok, the magic has turned to melancholy

finally watching The Fablemans and this film is magical

what if your ideas are as in love with you as you are with them?

what if your creativity spends its days dreaming about you too?

what if art is a co-creation between you (the vessel) & the eternal source of all things?

what if this act of making is the universe experiencing itself through you?

bluer skies
I’d much prefer to not look down
I am as sure as my footing
intrepid despite it
