We mourn their closing in Jacksonville. Patronize and protect Sun-Ray down there. You’ve got a good one!

Alone at the movies with a beer at 2:15 on a Thursday. All right.

When this was true some boomer was complaining that classic rock n roll was 50s/early-60s. Do I have feelings about calling nu-metal “classic?” Yep, but time marches on. Trying to hang on and stop things in the past is where we start to get into trouble.

What is up with your bosses? When the world is running down, don’t project your fears down to your employees, dang.

Solidarity, Duck!

I get a ton of use out of that station’s KMHD app, and have it programmed on my mother-in-law’s car when we visit OR

Grab yourself a tactical sandwich and go!

The casual use of AI is setting my teeth on edge. Trying not to be a shitty coworker, but also feeling a ton of existential crisis around this.

It’s wonderful, but check your head when you go.

I was in a negative emotional state and it transmuted my viewing that day something fierce!

The closest experience I’ve had is spending an hour or so alone in the Rothko Chapel, just staring at the main panels. I felt like I was starting to see patterns of dark purple figurative face a la a visual version of Steve Reich’s “resultant rhythms” but freakier.

At the end we were all spent. It was the one of the strangest things I’ve ever experienced.

There’s something to that quote. For 17 hours, it was a kind of transportive aesthetic experience. But that ending was something else entirely. Eldritch, maybe?

We marked each repetition with a piece of paper prepared on a stack to keep the count. As you got to the end, you took a sheet off the top and let it slip to ground.

In his wild state, this kid was throwing paper over his shoulder every 20 seconds.

We could have stopped short or kept an ad hoc rotation going until we reached 840.

Instead he sped up. Became implacable, frenzied.

Six or seven of us had stayed through the night and dozed or slept hard. Suddenly just before sunrise we were all close over his shoulders, out of our minds together.

I was an organizer for a performance done in 20 minute shifts. The last three were taken by a young man who kicked into a speed run so that the final repetitions would fit into our allotted time.

It was unhinged.

Funny seeing this as my birthday comes up. We would be there every year to celebrate the August birthdays. Love that the OG garden stayed open when PJ moved downtown.

Woke up on the no-future side of the bed. Adjustment needed.

Spouse rolled their eyes and went back to napping. If weird dreams arise, I’ll report back.

Looks like it’s wearing a tinfoil hat. Fitting.

No, Duck! That cannot be… no, you have to be kidding.

Hilljillies

Anyone have recommendations?

I’m starting Kwame Coleman on free jazz.

I found out that JSTOR lets nonac plebes gain access, so now I can be au courant with 2021 scholarship.

I don’t see my old dissertation topic around, maybe there’s still hope for my phd.

That’s ok, someone will launch a different llm or some such to analyze the ai-generated briefs to catch these ghost cases, and profits will be made, as nature intended.

Sweet! SINNERS is now on HBOMax. I failed to make time to see it in theaters, now I can fail to make time to watch it at home.

I miss having the brainspace for movies.

Print it out and post it everywhere

From that picture, I predict it’ll be a great production of Einstein on the Beach

It’s great that the MS is so readily accessible for this! We’re not so lucky with a lot of others, and this one edition might be the only that gets prepared for more than a generation. Write down everything you find, send it to publisher and post the errata online!
