Reflections, soundings.
We all possess our fears and failings — the looming shadow stuff which we perceive in dream as the monster, the giant, the demon. When this reflection is recognized and persists, a sounding must inevitably begin and the depths plumbed. Again.
When did we begin to feel this way? Why?
The labyrinth is composed of the dead ends of personal failure, traps of circumstance. In between, there is the way which we must embrace, must unwind.
Is there a way to wake? Dream less of labyrinths? I need to be taken down.
A cataclysm of open windows and locked chests.
(Listen to Soil, soil — some words must be written.)
Just wanted to advise everyone the President was upgraded to meet revised, more stringent standards as of 12:01PM EST.
The full changelog is up at Whitehouse.gov now, but here are the important points for the next four years: the re-adoption of pre-2000 best practices, greater adherence to the Constitution and Bill of Rights, and speeches which do not make you clutch your skull in pain.
The last of this series of photographs… and my favorite of the collection. It’s all about the curves.
My little sister Zoe gave me permission a long, long time ago to post this classic example of her drawing skill. So long ago that she probably doesn’t recall… so nobody tell her, hmmkay?
This drawing resulted from the two of us watching a badly animated holiday movie with the same title. I don’t recall any specific scenes, but the movie did change my position on the question of giant, bespectacled holiday treats and covered wagon driving privileges. From this rendering, it should be quite apparent that the candy cane is having no difficulty with the horse. Its entire journey may be spent in comfortable contemplation of a portable Christmas tree.
Flipping the drawing of the candy cane over, one encounters this magnificent thing. Please note the details in this piece: tiny bows which tie the sections of the stair-step legs together, a maniacal leer, and a rickety, leg-propelled platform which further lengthens the creature’s graceful form.
(That thing it’s clutching like some grotesque doll? She said that was supposed to be me. Yes — in this image, I am the advisory ice cream cone.)
This was once my favorite model of car. I’ve since moved on to idolizing the Lotus Esprit Turbo — primarily because it made an unforgettable appearance in the excellent first volume of Diane Duane’s So You Want To Be A Wizard? series.
I heard that driving a Camaro is a bit like driving a bathtub.
Per Katensam’s request, I’m sharing what might pass for an “office pet” — if one desired an office pet who was completely random and abstracted from the pervasive weird background noise of the last two days.
Manfred’s motto: 50 million to one against!
John August has posted the full-length pilot of The Remnants.
For the past few months, the pilot has been shopped around to advertisers and other possible sponsors, but given the economy and my schedule, it’s looking unlikely that a confluence of money and time will lead us to shoot more. So I wanted to let people see it, particularly because it features some actors who should be on more lists. Including Ze Frank, who is now an Angeleno.
Intriguing, John August! I want to see more. Particularly, I want to see people carving the Grand Canyon in their mashed potatoes a la Richard Dreyfuss in Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
