Warm


Up all night. Solving computer problems/creating new ones; much watching-of-progress-bars. Using excess brainjuice to ponder:
Also,
G’day.
From the 2004 album Likes.... This track builds ever so slowly — by the time the groove has revealed itself you've been surrounded by it; enveloped and mesmerized with its haunting vocal repetition.
I could live inside that groove all day.
If you walk around with the idea that there are some people who are so gifted – they have these wonderful things in their head but you're not one of them, you're just a normal sort of person, you could never do anything like that – then you live a different kind of life. You could have another kind of life, where you say, well, I know that things come from nothing very much and start from unpromising beginnings. And I'm an unpromising beginning, and I could start something.

Technology is a transmission vector through time. Humanity is carried upon it, from fire-building past to atomic-powered present to unforeseeable future. A spreading infection in the chronology of the universe.
I'm a few seasons off the mark here, but I've been going through my archive of unprocessed digital negatives and found some nice shots of Stewart Park taken back in autumn 2008.

I have been saving
all the silent letters
from the words I speak
like “aught”
and “pseudonym”
Someday
when my life’s work is done
I will go to the top shelf and
retrieve the box
in which they are stored
and open it
and pronounce them
all at once
