I’ve started the Alan Moore run of the Swamp Thing again.
It’s a bit like with the film First blood (Rambo) as a teen and young adult I had stereotyped it as shit until decades later I watch it by chance late at night on telly and see what a great movie it is. I used to see Swamp Thing as cheesy and immature and wouldn’t give it the slightest chance. Then much later I got into stuff that led me to it and there again like with Rambo I took a bit of a slap in the judgemental face! It’s not only great fun but rather thought provoking too. I used to hate the artwork and now I love it.
Finally started Stranger Things, a show I knew I’d end up watching from the moment it came out. Eighties US nostalgia and a bit of sci-fi. I’m enjoying it so far.
Also watching Midnight Mass after seeing it discussed here. It’s very good so far!
Gosh I haven’t been listening to music again lately… when things get a bit tough I find I totally block out music. Or only listen to Autechre.
Shit, I’m late! Byyyye

I'm half way through your copy of Klara and the Sun after "my lady" read it. I just finished Saul Bellow's (JEWISH AUTHOR) "The Dean's December" which I enjoyed and have cued up next "From the Plough, from the City", Alexander Baron's (JEWISH AUTHOR) WWII memoir.

Platos Parmenides, need quite a few more read to make full sense out of it.
Gorgias was much more accessible

I slept fitfully for about 14 hours yesterday - about a third of it in a drowsy, half-dream state. Which is where I am happiest, if I am honest. In one dream I was trying to find out something on my computer for my Dad who was sat next to me, whilst I was playing some intrusive Autechre music (think elseq). And I said "I can't think with this bloody Autechre on" and my Dad said "Autechre, isn't that that shop for straight people who want to buy sailor's outfits?" and I said No, no I don't think so, and I looked up Sailors' outfits and there was this place called "Otters" and I said it must be that. And then there followed this extended advert for "Otters" that looked like it was filmed in the 60s or 70s, think "Hair" or "Let My People Come" , some kind of hippie musical, and they were all wearing flesh coloured nude "fat suits", kind of made out of lady's tights, with little tied off bits for nobs, and then they had some sort of orgy that at one point involved tar-coloured spunk.

I think of a couple of sources of this dream are that last week I have been listening to elseq - I always think that I've neglected it however when I play any of it I know it so, I don't know.
The bit about sailors, a couple of weeks ago I helped out doing the follow spot lights on an am-dram production of the Bernstein (JEWISH COMPOSER) musical "On the Town". Set during the second world war, indeed written just after, it centre's on three American navy boys on 24 hour shore leave in New York. I do recommend watching the advert for the 1949 film version, starring Frank Sinatra and Gene Kelly, and I'm looking at mermaindman when I say, please watch it through right to the very end (you are rewarded in the middle as well with a racist bit) On the Town

There's a photo out there of a family wearing crocheted nude suits, from the 70s or 80s, and it's obscene. You just reminded me of that, thanks.

I have possibly seen that and that's gone into the Dream Bank as well.
I do believe we just harvest this stuff for some Big Computer.

'Strange Days Indeed: The Golden Age of Paranoia' Francis Wheen
it's shocking how little i know about history, and the more i find out about it i find that it is all basically the same, that it is very very scary, and somehow only a tiny percentage of the population seems to know this.
and 'Revanchrist'.. shockingly shit.
