Nearly just fell asleep...
Nearly just fell asleep... but Singing in the rain saved me!!!
Eeek. I'm late. But I
Eeek. I'm late. But I have an excuse. I'm watching one of my favorite movies, hint "No no no, yes yes yes!" Or check the blogcam.
Now, here's an electric thought
Now, here's an electric thought for the Blogathon... Come on baby, light my blog!
Just finished at 10pm. Good
Just finished at 10pm. Good movie. Still an experience of romanticism that overwhelms anything I've encountered since the shillers and schlegels' ilk.
Hildegarde reminded me to make
Hildegarde reminded me to make my thoughts more clear. I was not intending to make an empirical or definitive statement, but state an opinion that I did not ever plan to defend. If I'm going to present opinions I don't intend to empirically support I'd better make sure I don't get drawn into discussions regarding them.
Live and learn. Thanks Hildegarde.
[+][beam] Hildegarde asks, "tell me
[+][beam] Hildegarde asks, "tell me why crouching tiger isn't a very asian movie?"
[+][beam] jason grins.
[+][beam] Hildegarde says, "and...."
[+][beam] Hildegarde asks, "does the nature of the medium imply a certain cultural...form?"
[+][beam] Hildegarde asks, "I mean, can an american medium adequately reflect a non-american reality?"
[+][beam] jason grins.
[+][beam] jason asks, "what is so american about movies?"
[+][beam] jason says, "I wouldn't essentialize film as american."
[+][beam] Hildegarde asks, "didn't movies come out of north america?"
[+][beam] jason says, "they neither invented it or do it best"
[+][beam] Hildegarde asks, "motion pictures in general? Where did it come from?"
[+][beam] jason says, "Lumiere brothers are one of the first, if not first."
[+][beam] jason asks, "and hollywood was jewish imigrants mostly,right?"
[+][beam] Hildegarde falls apart laughing.
[+][beam] jason says, "movies are as american and e=mc^2"
I can't imagine a less
I can't imagine a less asian movie, from my perspective than 'crouching tiger'. To me it is a movie of high german romanticism. But maybe that is the sign of a good chinese movie. Or perhaps a good chinese movie is the best of german romanticism? Well, chinese culture is older... Chinese wins.
Now lets apply that romanticism to humanitarianism?
We'll leave problematizing that for later.

Brin tells me that I'm late in my blogging. Can you imaging that someone would a) check, b) remind me, and that I'd do it?
Too much. I'm still cooking, that's what's taking up my time... but I've finished a 1 litre bottle of water... better drink water, or I'll break out the beer... and it is bad. The last of my brewing with Dave... it is Dave's Post Apocalyptic Porter. Excellent stuff.
Pizza time. I've got the
Pizza time. I've got the cam in the kitchen, and I'm making pizza.

organic smoked bacon
yellow and orange peppers
milde chedder (organic of course)

Amazing.

[+][beam] Hildegarde says, "I've discovered that there are some blogs I can't copy the text off"
[+][beam] Hildegarde asks, "who does that?"
[+][beam] Hildegarde asks, "I mean, why?"
[+][beam] Brin [to Hildegarde]: Because they can.
[+][beam] jason says, "you can put a blank frame on top that is transparent."
[+][beam] salmon grin.
[+][beam] jason says, "some people don't share stuff because they're scared that the one good idea that they had in their life may be stollen."
[+][beam] jason says, "imaginative poverty, imho."
[+][beam] salmon [to jason]: let me catch my breath.. cam will be up soon
[+][beam] Hildegarde says, "it sucks rocks"
[+][beam] Brin exclaims, "5 minutes!"
[+][beam] salmon [to jason]: that's a cool comment
[+][beam] jason says, "if you have an idea, set it free. if it comes back, copywrite the shit out of it."

Someone's clock is off by 2 minutes. It is not me. When it says I blog at 3:02, it is really 3:00. So there.
I'm listening to CBC radio's DNTO.! Check out CBC radio one: http://radio.cbc.ca/cbcr1-qt.html
Ok, this is starting off
Ok, this is starting off just right. I spent the last 30 minutes just trying to get my camera to work. I've have a camera for 2 years. And it has always worked. It just works. And my cam is just something I take for granted. So, now, just when I need the fucking thing. It is not going to respond, or play.
I think I'll start drinking now. Do you mind?
