10:57 am - We'll call it "Master and Servant..."
|
Faith & the Muse - [Sredni Vashtar]--- So, I need to set up a tandem use for laptop hard drives. Is that possible? Barring that, I need to set the old laptop HD into the desktop, copy the files (and more importantly the file Structure) from there to the portable HD, and from there, back to the new laptop.
The Bastard Fairies - [Everyone Has A Secret]--- Convoluted, yes? Yes.
Dreamed of an institution (school or mental or both), where I was watching demons and monsters kill people, and I would try to stop them, but no one would believe me, even Principal Snyder who was the head of security for the place. I said to him, "The funny thing i, I remember what you said to me, just before you left the mental hospital. You said, 'You're right, you know: The robots are coming.'" He looked really uncomfortable at that, and walked away huffing and preening. I went back to talking to Sarah Connor, and I told her about the kind of man her son had become, the kinds of things he was willing to do for the world. (Lovesliescrushing - [Youreyesimmaculate]). She was stunned, and I told her what it did for him, having her there, and she felt terrible for not being there, before. I told her that what she had been doing was important, and that she was making sure the world would be there, for her son. I told her that I understood what that was like.
Something, after that, about an email conversation between Warren Ellis and Melissa auf der Maur, about her new album. (Clint Mansell - [Pi R Squared]). Something before either of those, about burning CDs. The Power Puff Girls soundtrack, and a huge Tom Waits compilation. Very odd.
Nirvana - [The Man Who Sold the World (Live David Bowie Cover '97)]--- Too much pizza, last night. Stomach feels weird. I'm going to go see what I can do about this, without making it worse. Good morning.
current mood: query

2:37 pm - The Peter Watts Case
|
So, Peter Watts has Been Convicted. You may remember that I mentioned Mr Watts-- Biologist, Pacifist, Anti-War Advocate, SF author-- as having been charged with resisting lawful search at the border, as he tried to exit the US to enter his home country of Canada. He was beaten, detained, and charged, all for asking why he was being detained and searched. So, the trail has happened, and he was convicted of assaulting an officer, and obstructing a lawful search.
Now, I am not a lawyer, but I have a great vested interest in the law, and in the treatment of people by that law, so I've consulted legal professionals, to review what facts of this case are readily and publicly available, and what I've been able to gather is that the reportage on this is probably sloppy. As you know, there are two main brackets of crime, on a state level: Misdemeanor and Felony. A misdemeanor will be calculated in months-- One to 12 months is the range-- while a felony will be calculated in years-- 1 to n years. There is is no charge that gets you "up to two years," and each of those charges-- Assault and Obstruction-- were likely lodged as misdemenors. This means that what was probably levelled as "up to 24 months" (being up to 12 months , for each charge) was not so delicately parsed, by the press. Not their fault, really; short blurbs on a breaking story.
In addition to this, the lawyers to whom I spoke don't think that this was anything other than a calculated move by a competent lawyer and client, advising and having been advised of all the options before him. If he took the pre-trial deal, it could go away, for good, never to be talked about again. Ever. If he took a plea to a lesser charge, much the same. But if he was outraged enough to take the stand, at the border, and he was still outraged at his treatment, then he could see it through to trial. If he won, he could have talked about how Justice prevailed in the face of a border cop's gross misuse and abuse of power. But if he lost, then he would have to talk about how the American system has gone slowly gone mad, due to the War On Terror, in the "Post-9/11 World." Too preoccupied with notions of "Safety," America has lost all notions of reasonable response and civility. Either way, he gets to talk to the world about his experience, and have people hear and think about what he's been through. But only if he goes to trial.
It's a risk, and it is an outrage, both that the incident at the border happened to him, at all, and that he lost, but no lawyer worth her salt would have advised her client to go to trial without knowing all the scenarios he was facing, and giving him various ways to turn them to his potential advantage. And I seriously doubt Watts would have obtained a lawyer who wasn't worth her salt.
The lawyers to whom I spoke have said that the most likely outcome of all of this is several months probation, a fine (let's call it a max of $1000), and a whole lot of outrage, across the Blogoplex. So, I'll be watching, and waiting, to see what happens.
Keep in mind, this is all simply with what's available, thus far. I suggest clicking the above link, for Watts' own take on the matter.
Also, clarification on whether the charges were felony or misdemeanor charges would be helpful, and are hard to come by.
EDIT: According to Michigan statute (PDF; search for "81d"), it IS a felony. That's... Very odd phrasing.
Sucks.

11:42 am - What Turns Us On
|
Underworld - [Dirty Epic]--- I know I'm a bit late, for some of you reading this, but everyone should read this jrblackwell post, in which she talks of pushing limits, expanding boundaries, and what it is that turns her on and keeps her going: http://blackwell.livejournal.com/285829.html
I think these are the kinds of considerations I love to see, from the people, around me, and I'd like to be less voyueristic about it. I don't even know jrblackwell, I only know her through a bunch of other people, so it's a little weird for me to know this, to see this process.
Get to give, give to get, I guess. I'll be back, later, with something important. A key note about the nature of what I will do to this world.
Questions about wolves, and ravens, and devils, and crossroads, and black phoenixes rising and sweeping over and through and across everything, burning the universe clean. The all-consuming fire, inside.
I'll be back, later...
Things to do, today, first
current mood: kindling...

10:49 am - Healing
|
You know, you'd think that the kind of biofeedback processes involved in directed platelette and red blood cell application would put you to sleep, knock you right out. You'd be wrong. Apparently-- and especially in the shifting spring-- your body wants your full attention, to make sure that's going exactly well.
Which is why, even though I went to bed at 1.45am and woke up at 10.35, I only got about 6 hours' sleep, last night.
Good morning.
In other news, I dreamed about a huge classroom, filled with everyone with whom I ever went to school, and sectioned into rooms in a building, which were all the same room. In each room was every teacher I've ever known. (Kate Bush - [Army Dreamers]). A friend and I had to keep leaving class to go fight something, and we missed some kind of contest and/or game. There was something like a lock-in, as all the teachers left at 1am, and all the students stayed there, to guard the place.
This song always makes me think of spring.
Good morning.

12:57 am - Being Human
|
Watching George, the werewolf, on "Being Human" makes me feel... strange.
Also, I feel that I identify way too much with the over-arching sentiment of the song "Godl, Guns, Girls," by Metric.
It's been a weird week. Sent back the RAM, and they'll be sending me the correct speed, and crediting me the difference.
Friday, I need to do the final editing to my Immanence of Myth piece, and e-mail a bunch of people. Tomorrow, I need to study more German.
Also, I need to make more money. Let's get on that.
More thoughts, as they develop. Possibly something deep about the Jungian self/shadow struggle present in all children's programing, these days. Think about it.
Night.
current mood: All werewolfy
current music: "Gold, Guns, Girls," stuck in my head...

1:29 am - We love the Vortex! Cause they are Good To Us!
|
So, tonight, at the Vortex, there was a huge fucking crowd, due in large part to the George Thoroughgood concert, at the Variety Playhouse. Unfortunately, a large amount of this crowd was made up of dickbags, as was the majority of traffic, in Atlanta, today. Imagine it, a whole city with its streets full of bags of dicks, all driving cars. Terrifying.
Anyway. Sarah, our favourite assistant manager/bartender took Really good care of us (Me, unknownbinaries, and lord_of_smoking), today, and bought us all shots. In return, we gave her a 50% tip. Blam: Reciprocity.
Time to go study some more German, then go the fuck to sleep, so I can work, tomorrow.
Good night.
EDIT: Well, there goes my plan to learn piano. The person from whom I was going to take lessons is moving to goddamn France.
current mood: dehydrated and tired

10:58 am - Sprechts du?
|
Schandmaul - [Magda Treadgolds Märchen]--- I did about one and a half hours of German study, yesterday, and I am having an internal debate with myself as to whether I should do more, today. On the one hand, I wanted to give myself a day off after each day of studying, to let things sub-process, on the other hand, I Really want to keep studying, today. I guess I should take that as a good sign.
Dreamed of a great many things, last night. A concert/festival in the middle of DC, Like a combination of Dragon*Con and how I imagine South-By-Southwest to be. (Danger Doom - [Basket Case]). Met up with Amanda Palmer and her assistant, Beth, at one point, and Beth remembered my name, which was a small gratification, even though I knew that Amanda and I knew each other fairly well, already. (Screamin' Jay Hawkins - [Little Demon]).
Some implication about the subway system being how everyone got to know everyone, and if you were on the subway, everyone could learn a lot about you, to a point, and this being integral to
Something about saving a slice of cake for someone, but unknownbinaries disapearing, when she said she'd watch it, and my coming back to find Amanda eating it. (The Clash - [Train in Vain]). From there, my being concerned about where unknownbinaries went, and what happened, as well as a lot of grumbling, from me, about people keeping their word, or at least explaining, when they don't.
That's actually been on my mind, a lot, lately, or at least it was, in my dream, last night. People doing what they say they're going to do, or at least giving and explaination, when they don't. (Comorbid - [Jungle,Drum & Bass Mix - 09-16-2001]). It's a pretty big pet peeve of mine, I guess. But, hey, many times those things which bother us the most are those things we fear or hate in ourselves, right?
Right.
Placebo - [Broken Promise (w/ Michael Stipe)]--- Cute, Winamp.
Anyway, this last is just to say that studying/listening to a half-familiar language at one AM, in the dark, using sound canceling headphones, is a lot like gaslighting yourself. But in a Good way.

8:33 pm - "Come on if you think you're hard enough."
|
The Dresden Dolls - [Bad Habit]--- First, from unknownbinaries:
The Centre for Tactical Magic.
The Hoodoo Factory.
Lucky Mojo Courses.
Maybe Logic Academy.
Second, speaking of unknownbinaries, her computer is functional, and all she needs is a mouse and a DVD drive, to read the OS disk. (The Paper Chase - [Drive Carefully, Dear]). One step closer
Today, driving sucked. Being out on the road, in Atlanta, on a warm spring day, in the rain, is a sure-fire way to see someone in a car do something fucking idiotic. (Miles Davis - [Why Do I Love You? (Live)]). Glad today is mostly over.
Been prone to really bad moods, these past two days, even in the face of really good days, otherwise. I am pushing forward into completing my projects. Day by day, piece by piece, I will drag these things into place and I will move anything in my way (though I will not be a mover, unmoved). It simply Will Be Done.
Coil - [Herald]--- There's a lot to do, but I've done a lot, already, haven't I? All that remains is to know that I have done Very much, and I can do Very much more.
Fever Ray - [I'm Not Done]---But anyway, let's stop talking about what needs to be done, and let's start talking about how we're going to do it, and then, let's do it, and talk about how nice it is to get things done. Won't that be nice?
-Taxes: Done.
-Trip to Fry's to price a new Asus 1005E: Done (about the same as online)
Choronzon - Autonomy--- Chicking in with people to plan this party: Done
-Asking questions about payment on retainer: Done
Still catching up on LJ (had to go back 400 entries), but I haven't emailed any of you back about our project work, and I haven't started my German Lessons, yet.
MC Chris - [Fuckin' Up My Christmas]---On that last, I need to do some fucking about with the Rosetta Stone software, but then we should be good to go. I want to study for one hour a day, every other day, and then, in two weeks, I'm going to start integrating Spanish lessons into the interrim days. I need to decide between Latin American and Castillano Spanish, but then it'll be German on the odds, and Spanish on the evens. I hope to be servicably tri-lingual, within three-to-four months.
No I am not joking.

10:59 am - Needs and Dreams
|
Björk - [Play Dead]--- So... Seriously. I need a new laptop. My correspondence has been slow, sporadic, and otherwise impeded. This is unacceptable, on the whole. (Autechre - [Xylin Room]). The desktop is fine and even preferred, for writing, at home, but the laptop allows me to multi-task, and I am, to my core, a multi-tasker. Taking in multiple streams of information, at once, is what I do, well, and what I would always like to be able to do better. Not simply to hear them, but to fully and completely parse the streams, as they come in, without going mad. "Understanding that the ten thousand things are one," as Chuang Tzu would say, is the key to the operation of the way, the clear path, and the only way to know that is to experience them all, all the time, as full and cleary as if we were paying each one individual and minute detail. This is the mind of god.
Whoa. Sorry about that one... Kind of got away from me, there. Anyway, I need to write down, today, the process whereby I will obtain a new laptop. (Miranda Sex Garden - [Intermission]). That'll be a good way to get me started.
So, last night, before bed, I finished Terry Pratchett's Unseen Academicals, and so I blame him, entirely, for the fact that I dreamed in as much German and Latin as I did English. (Anonymous 4 - Montpellier Codex: Love's Illusion: Quant yver la bise ameine). As I said, the last time we spoke, Terry Pratchett knows just wat to say and how to say it, and I seem to find the right book, just when I need it.
Black Lung - [Angstlos]--- And I'm very glad to hear that Brother Oats still walks with forgiveness at his side.
Dreams were of a very large party in a very large enclosed city, and everyone was there. (Claude Debussy - [Arabesque No. 1 In E Major]). Something about a car crash and a mechanic/doctor looking to get me "fixed up." Every character whom I didn't personally know was written by Sir Pratchett.
i am robot and proud - good sleep--- I need to go read other things, around these parts, so I'll cut this short. See you, later.
The Paper Chase - [A Liver, A Lung, A Kidney, A Thumb]--- Again, with the lack of a laptop, I am regrettably behind on reading any and everything you (yes, YOU, ALL of you) have written in the past 7-Day period.
I am very sorry about this, and I will work to correct it, tomorrow.
Time to eat braekfast.

12:48 am - Should I compromise, this artful act of seduction?
|
Faith No More - [Falling to Pieces]--- Not actually, at all. Magic is working well (almost, redundantly, "working will"); hosted Trivia, again tonight, and a lot of people came out and had fun. I was a lot more comfortable, and everyone had fun, even those who lost. Good times.
Finally reading Unseen Academicals and, as always, Sir Terry Pratchett puts my mind aright, in the way I need to be thinking about certain things, at particular times. He deserves that Knighthood, and four more, just like it.
Plans are becoming thoughts and actions. (Somatic Responses - [Perfumed Ammo]). Actions are resonating outward into better actions and different thoughts, for those around me. Everything's humming along nicely, just now.
Exeter application is complete. AAR proposal in waiting. Dollhouse submission being reviewed.
Not pushing my luck, but I have to say that talking is a kind of action. As is thinking, really, really hard.
People are over, just now, so I must away, as the kids don't ever say, ever.
Later.
current mood: pretty damn good, thanks. How are you?

11:00 am - Let's stop equating "Getting Things Done" with "Producing," okay?
|
Jack Off Jill, Morphic Field - [Poor Impulse Control (750 Degrees Mix)]--- So, yesterday I sent my AAR proposal, for their Western Esotericism track. Their paper call was on the popular media commodification of Western Esotericism and Occult Studies, and the implications for said, on the field, and AAR is being held in Atlanta, this year. How could I Not submit a paper?
I ordered moar RAM, for my computer. My computer's 7 years old, yes, but it still has a pretty badass processor in it, and all I need is for it to pull its head out of its ass, more readily, so that I can get things done. 256MB of RAM simply isn't enough, in that regard. So I ordered a 512MB kit (two sticks; did I mention I have RDRAM?), and that should be here, some time in the coming week.
Jack Off Jill, Morphic Field - [American Made (750 Degrees Mix)]--- I'm working on the processes for two important projects, one major in scope, one less so, but no less important. Questions and answers, needs and requirements are all clicking along nicely. Waiting for some answers on venues, for a party, and some input from others...
After a conversation with unknownbinaries, yesterday, I've realised a few things about my personality, my efforts at collaboration, and my feelings about leadership, as a whole. (Jack Off Jill, Morphic Field - [Covet (750 Degrees Mix)]). I don't mind being in charge of a project, but I really hate when people, seeing that there's now a person in charge, take that to mean, "Now I have someone to Bitch To, when things aren't going how I want them, nevermind I had no input, before, when I was asked 'How Did You Want Things To Go?' Never Mind That, At All." So I do things, I make decissions, and I inform people that "This is how it's going to be. If you don't like it, you really should have said something, when I asked."
Tom Waits - [What Keeps Mankind Alive (Brecht, Weil)]--- It's a Dick move, sure, but it gets things done. And, if I don't even say anything about it, to begin with? Most people don't notice, one way or the other. The sad fact is that many people, "fine, upstanding Americans," the lot of them, don't like having to activelt choose. Makes me sad, but it's a fact of the matter.
Kylesa - [Almost Lost]--- Anyway, on to brighter things. Bills paid, kitchen partially cleaned, coffee made, breakfast eaten.
My mother's bakery opening went extremely well, and she sold out of everything she had made, for the event. She was baking all last night, for the purposes of her second day, today. Should, hopefully, go just as well.
Einstürzende Neubauten - [Dingsaller]--- Oh, WinAmp. Thank you for realising that this is one of my favourite Neubauten songs. I appreciate that.
The Legendary Pink Dots - [Pruumptje Kurss]--- Oh, and my life is Finally filled with GLITTER and DOOM. Bought the new Tom Waits album, yesterday. (Kristofer Straub - [Down the Block (Something Positive)]). Probably shouldn't have spent the money, but I needed a bit of Tom. So there.
I'm hoping for a good, lucrative, interesting, and enriching day, today. How about you?
current mood: pretty good, so far. You?

9:30 am - If you deny this, then it's your fault...
|
The Heavy - [How You Like Me Now?]--- I think I only like this song because it sounds like the ghost of James Brown has colonised a modern band's brains. And that is AWESOME.
Anyway. Got some feedback on the shortness of my Immanence of Myth piece, and I have some time to edit and expand. Thus continually proving wrong my self-depricating appropriation of Regina Spektor's song "Edit." (Tom Waits - [Straight to the Top (Vegas Version)]). Anyway, there are two kinds of things I need to address: Making Clear my point and purpose, and whether the term "Magic" is necessary to get my point across.
I want to be clear about this, one more time: The Use Of THe Term Magic Is The Point.
Polysics - [My Sharona (Knack Cover)]--- When we call something "Magic" we bring a whole host of conceptual associations to the table that otherwise would not be brought. Now, in the modern parlance, the majority of these associations have been tainted, or re-appropriated by other fields, practices, or concepts, but one of my ultimate goals is to show that there are certain processes and ideas that we can more usefully engage, when we think of them as "Magical." Not as a patch over the whole thing, to call it "Unexplainable," or "fantastical," buyt that there is a kind of mental, physical, and perceptual association happening, and action between those components, in "Magical" work that isn't as usefully explained by calling it "psychology," or "neuro-linguistic programming," or "quantum philosophy."
Lovesliescrushing - [Burst]--- The term "Magic" is important. That's one part of what I want people to understand.
So, anyway, need to do some editing, later. First, I need to go exercise and take a shower. I've been awake for over an hour now, and I need to get some things done.
Placebo - [Passive Aggressive]--- Yesterday, I started the process of getting prices for the Vortex. We'll see what they say. Other venues include various GSU spaces, but a bar would really work best. Next I ask The Thinking Man.
I used to live in this house (click "Street View").
V.A. - [defragmentation / phetal3i2-904]--- I need you to think, very hard, about the fact that, one day very soon, I will live there again.
See you soon.
current mood: Deeply motivated

2:07 am - To do
|
Tuesday: Have to ask after the Vortex's rates for renting the bar. How much would we have to buy/pay to cover revenue lost, of a Saturday night. I'm thinking "Quite A Lot."
Also, I need to actually have the time to write the step by step processes of the things I'm trying to do.
To that end, does anyone have a large space, available, to fit about 30 people? Needs to be open, possibly many-roomed, not too echoing. Let me know, in the next few days.
I hear crickets, here, often, these days.

9:56 am - Manageable bits.
|
I like to win at chess. I like to win at any game, really, but chess is a strategy game, and the metaphor's been in use for hundreds if not thousands of years, so... I like to win, at chess.
My problem is that I often forget to calculate the odds, to account for the mind of the player across from me, to plan ahead. I get so involved in my next three moves, that I forget about my next thirty. These problems, unfortunately, translate out elsewhere. Except for the whole "mind of the other" thing. I've got that pretty well down...
But I need to be thinking ahead. I need to remember, at all times, my plans, my goals, and my dreams, and make my every move a part of them. Chess doesn't work, for this part, because I don't just want to "win" at my life. I want everyone involved in my life to keep on winning. To be happy and fulfilled and to do and make whatever they want.
So I have goals, and I need to sit down, again, and work each and every piece of them into a process list, answering specific questions, along the way. What will it take to shape the future? What skills, groups, owed favours do I need, to influence people into taking certain ideas more seriously, more quickly? Do I need to go to more post-grad study, for it, or can I simply surround myself with the people and ideas which present a force so great, someone has to notice?
Can I do that? I've been trying to get you all together, for months, years, on this big Nebulous "Thing," and I have your data, and I have your answers, but I need to follow up. I need to Analyse and Inspect the data you've given me, and turn it into information. I need Algorithms, and I need Web Designers and I need you to know that everything we do, out of the gate, is a collaboration of a very strange type. It's a labour of love, and one of... Strangeness. Because the space has to be built, first, but the people need to be in constant contact, first, but the ideas need to be realised, first.
I'm not being clear, again, but you can all expect an e-mail.
In the meantime, I need someone with vast webdesign skills and an interest in group brainstorming and problem solving. Is that you? Reply here.
I need to have several conversations with several places with gallery space. Do you have a gallery space, near the cities of Atlanta and Decatur. Reply Here.
Are you a psychologist or Analyst with whom I can work on crafting a set of questions to gauge certain key traits such as selfishness, flexibility, co-operation, introspection, and so on?
If you're committed to working with me, are you willing to talk with said analyst, constantly, about how you're doing, about changes in home life, and the kinds of personal details that may affect the kinds of solutions you help develop, and why? Are you willing to do this, knowing that I'll have access to your answers, as well?
If you are any of the above, are you also willing to work under an NDA, for no money, for quite some time?
Please answer any pertinent question, via reply at this journal posting. For more details, please e-mail.
The point is, I need to whittle this down to discrete parts. I am a man of vision, but I also need to be a man of focus and process, if I ever want to see that vision realised. Lack of money is not an impediment. Nothing is. Everything can be transmuted and redirected, and made to work, to my needs.
And now, breakfast.
current mood: Analysing, and parsing down
current music: people going about morning business.
