4. do you like "fake food" like taco bell etc? what's your favorite fake food? is it regional?
4a. this is not a question, this is just a useful service announcement that fuckin' domo-kun is all over 7-11 in the most perfect marketing ploy ever. of course stoned, confused weirdoes will go to 7-11 to drink slurpees out of an angry puppet's head. hell i have not smoked a joint in years and i am going to 7-11 right now.

well all the themes are, aren't they?
1. big one to start out with: talk to me about your relationship to the pleasures of the senses. are you an ascetic? given over to sensual delight? do you dig on things, call them vices, call them virtues? get your kicks from self-denial? is there any philosophical framework that you employ to make sense of your feelings on this matter?
2. how do you feel about your body?
3. what are you at war with? why?

2. what is the meaning of fall to you? how do you feel about it? melancholy? relieved? FUCKING PISSED OFF?
3. does music make you think of places or images in your brain? if so what is the weirdest image/place association that your brain has come up with lately?
4. special to people who do stuff: do you get flashbacks? do you think they're flashbacks or just a shift in the way we perceive the world?
answers later, there is work needs doing. |
|
|
| why yes its sssssssss QUESTION TIME |
[Aug. 28th, 2009|08:28 am] |
1. how much attention do you pay to the smells of your surroundings? can you tell me what your city smells like? do you have a little psychogeographic smellin' map?
2. what do you do when you are upset at someone and it is to all intents and purposes unsolvable? how does a man cope.
3. why do you only hurt the ones you love? why do you love the ones that hurt you only?
4. WHY AM I SO MOODY. WHY AM I MADE OF MOODS.
feel free to not answer the last question becauase fuck that question.
anyway
1. see, i smoke sometimes just to not have to think about how things smell, because when i was a youngun i read richard feynman's thing about how he paid attention to smells, and then read some articles about smells being linked hard with memory. so i started smelling things and man it plugs you into the atavistic brain piece of your skull head. i was paying attention to the smells last night, salt water, sewer outflow, exhaust, sweet blackberries, dust, piss, beer. i like the smell of puget sound but i miss the smell of home and its wet living earth and breathing mountain down on us. the answer here is yes, i pay attention to smells. my city smells like that up there, except puget smells a little more complicated than "salt water" and lake washington smells a little different than puget. but.
2. used to get real high, now i ride my bike a lot. sometimes i will get a little drunk afterward but the riding a bike a lot is much more conducive to feeling okay than just getting fucked up, blah blah, cleans out the pipes. i rode 20 miles last night and it wasn't quite enough. though i did break my chain....because everything i touch, i destroy. HOW SYMBOLIC.
3. 
4. BECAUSE I AM A MAUDLIN BASTARD.
and now you. |
|
|
| it's time for some questions |
[Aug. 21st, 2009|10:51 am] |
HAPPY FRIDAY
1. do you have pet/s? do you think pet looks like you / reflects on you as a person? bore me with stories of your pets!
2. P O L I TI C S: tom ridge made up terror alerts at the behest of rumsfeld, ashcroft. discuss.
3. why is it so hard to work, have a job, be a square? how have you dealt with these problems?
4. what is the phrase you have been using like crazy lately?
5. jesus christ, why am i such a fucking queerbasket? i used to be hard as nails, i swear!
annsdswres
1. those of you who have been playing the home game for some time know of my affinity for animals of the "eat in the tank, poo in the tank, diiiie in the tank" variety, bearded dragons and the almighty uromastyx who went by the name of Dongs. O DONGS! RIP, little lizard who hated the whole world. of course now i have the telefish (fish in tv set: the only tv worth watching), brunhilde dongs (tarantula o so adorable) and now
GENGHIS DONGS, a giant bearded dragon from dude-at-work who is tame, tame, tame, and likes to clamber on my shoulder. kellie claims a certain jness about him due to being spiky, but also very very cuddly and prone to looking at you with pained expression. i like box-type animals because i am a person who is given to travel and staring and is not into the whole pwease wuv me thing of a dog. soon i will make a cat occur and i will have all of the pets of people who hate people, except for birds*, because birds horrify me.
2. yes i hate politics as much as you do, but i am still surprised that all these dudes gutlessly went along with what they knew was super wrong, and also surprised that we (the country) are not responding with more fervor to these findings out. all these shenanigans and people are just like, oh, whatever. man, fuck you, these people.
3. shit i don't know. i hate feeling like trading money for time is such an obvious and painful conceit but (in the words of the vampire beatnick) "if you don't obey them, you don't eat." my life is currently devoted to figuring out a way around that sentence, among other things. i don't know if i will be successful. i don't know. i don't know. i like not working sometimes. i worked too much this year. it's not ok.
4. "fuck the man's fascist death culture!" "fuck it all anyway!" "goddamn it all!"
my coworker just used the phrase "giant balls over japan" and i'm all the fuck over that one.
5. fuck man i am asking you. i am sitting here listening to dweeby folk music and asking you!
over and out.
*i lust for a tame crow. it is stupid. i will never a tame crow. |

|
| YOU KNOW HWAT IT IS |
[Aug. 13th, 2009|08:36 am] |
you know i am getting tired of using these dumbass pictures from the internet. i think i might make a logo for QUESTION TIME and possibly move the whole son of a bitch over to bonertown? or not. whatever. i have no idea how many of you moon units would follow me over to bonertown to comment.
ok so anyway here we go:
1. do you listen to different kinds of music in different seasons? how about different weather?
2. do you spend any time practicing a thing regularly? how do you practice this thing? why do you practice it?
3. seriously why the fuck am i having fond fuzzy memories of high school, it sucked so hard and everything that i had fun doing back then i'm basically doing in a cooler way now.
4. tell me about something that has recently excited you and you feel that everyone needs to be in on!
5. are you ready for it to be fall?
6. what is stuck in your head?
1. i am of course asking this because it went from satanically hot up here to cool and cloudy and like overnight i was all OH MAN, FOLK MUSIC, DEPRESSIVE ELECTRONIC MUSIC, and now i've evened back out to lots of black sabbath and kuni kawachi & friends in order to maintain some level of metal before i devolve into my winter specie and end up listening to that one ladytron album and leonard cohen and laibach until the sun comes back.
2. i semi-non-regularly practice sitting meditation, do a lot of pushups and situps, and draw some stuff every day. i do these things because it is right for me to do them. i am trying to make new words to explain the wherefores because where i am, we don't got words. i also play the banjo sometimes but only when i want to, which makes it not practice.
3. I AM ASKING YOU THIS! seriously the only thing that i did more of better in high school than i do now is wear makeup and that's because i didn't find myself on sweat-breaking adventures or forget to shower for days like i do now. due to adventure. and also because i have failed utterly at being a lady.
4. couple two three things. 1. i am late to this one, but bill callahan, whose song eid ma clack shaw has the sweetest lyrics. inexplicably gotten from the blog epicly later'd which if you are into looking at pictures of other people doing things is pretty excellent.
2. garfield variations - these guys are earth prime for sure.
3. i am always excited about veda hille. the excitement never stops. who wants to go to bc with me sometime and catch a show?
5. yes. every beginning of summer i think, oh boy, summer, i love summer, and every end of summer i'm like thank god that's over i'm ready for the rain. this man is in tune with these seasons.
6. right now, mercifully, nothing.
furthermore, new bonertown post. hey does my rss feed work? someone tell me i'm lazy. |

nonspecific warning of moon treatise IV
sketchbook dump
i am trying to figure out a scaled distribution system for the moon treatises, but for the time being if you are interested in purchasing treatise just email my ass (robotacitus at google mail) and we will put things in the mail super old school. fuck the man's death culture! i gotta go do laundry! |

|
| happy day of days |
[Aug. 7th, 2009|10:35 am] |
questiontime now has anonymous commenting enabled, if you are a nonspecific nonLJ person who wishes to answer some questions. during question time.
1. do you have any secret holidays? holidays that are really important to your crew/subgroup but are not well known outside of the same, things that you look crazy forward to on your own private kalendar?
2. what is better, the regret of doing something fucking stupid and having to deal with it, or the pain of doing something reasonable and correct that hurts real bad in the doing? and if it's the latter why the fuck does it suck so much? Jesus.
3. do you use works of art or fiction or whatever to make sense of your feelings? if so, explain.
4. since he up and died: what is your opinion on john hughes? were you, like me, part of the demographic that gave a reluctant shit about john hughes movies? don't you think ferris bueller is a dick? what's wrong with you?!
ANSWERS
1. oh my god today is dead baby day it's the most magical day of the year for bicycles. and when i say magical i mean belligerently drunk, crazy, good times, can't even words it properly. and of course explaining renn fayre to non-reed people is difficult. i think it's interesting that i don't imagine these holidays as permanent lifetime holidays, they're sort of movable feasts in the changing kalendar of the j-life, but you know, i say that now, i'm sure ill be drunk in a tree every may for way longer than i think.
i can't wait until i am making up holidays that others look forward to.
and of course there's always Sparkle Christmas.
2. i swear to god the fact that the first one isn't as painful means that it is wrong and will lead to more pain later down the line. i have yet to really get into my skull that making bad decisions often feels good in specific ways, you know, soothing, familiar, that kind of thing. on the other hand feeling like a mournful confused person who has done what they believe to be the right thing also allows one to drink whiskey out of a mason jar and stare soulfully out into the sky. so, you know, pros, cons.
3. greek tragedy makes me feel better about families and love. i will not say more because to say more, it makes me sad.
4. i like some kind of wonderful. ferris bueller ages poorly. all of the hughes films have that precocious young person thing going on in them that sets me to rage clenchin', though, and the whole WOO TEENAGERS BE PEOPLE TOO message is also oh CLENCH and you know empire records wouldnt' have if not CLENCH pepsi generation CLENCH CLENCH CLENCH, CLENCH
what is wrong with me is i care too much!
OVER TO YOU, QUESTIONKETEERS!!!! |
|
|
| a much less art and death focused question time |
[Jul. 31st, 2009|09:00 am] |
1. do you feel like there is a large disconnect between your public and private selves? to what do you attribute this disconnect or lack thereof? how do you feel about this?
2. what kind of music do you listen to when you are having a Feeling? the Feeling in question is up for interpretation. i mean, whatever the phrase a Feeling means to you.
3. special to northwest residents, jesus christ, what have you been doing to keep from fucking bursting into flames the last week? what a shitty thing to do, the weather.
4. what in the fuck do you even do? you know. when a thing happens.
yeah yeah. i'm really tired so this shit is probably not going to make much sense.
1. sorta, yeah? i mean, i do that thing (the j thing) where i am "on" and those of you privy to the gentlemen's log / mantime / ahtever i call it when i hang out in small groups or individually will be well aware that i am a morose fucker, so, you know, sad clown, whatever. i would attribute this to being cripplingly shy as a small one and then developing a Persona as a combination of shy and bored, then realizing that the Persona is also an element, a legitimate one, of one's Nature. and of course different groupings bring out different sides of oneself. there are definitely selves i like better, and i try to find myself around people who encourage expression of those sides. THE MORE YOU KNOW
2. for my current Feeings i have decided to listen to the maudlin folk music of drunk white people, so i am all listening to like country and folky neo-country BS and stuff where a woman plays a piano and sings about feelings. i sing along with the feelings in an attempt to deal! things are pretty stupid out here.
3. lakes, cold showers, nudity
4. i don't know, man.
OVER TO YOU, GENTS |
