herein be proof that nothing, but nothing is new under the sun, and life moves in mysterious ways spirals.
this particular spiral had apparently begun about 10 years ago. tell me about blast from the past!
not much at first: an impression, a shallow grave groove...

this. so the voice is off, etc., etc., but. it just rocks, unsteady #-) and the ending, the ending's something I'd pay dearly to see IRL, sort of #-)



also, I did mention I liked movie version of Optimus Prime, right?
right... )

but not exactly alive either. am in an... odd place. missing important things. watching the world rush by at a terrifying speed sometimes. it is trying hard to chew me up and make me a plucky little evolutionary fighter... or else. well, well. the trouble is, I do not want to go extinct at this particular moment '-)

my 2 discs of Iron Man, though, have been returned to me, so there was fun hunting down an episode I had always wanted to cap. had to go through most of the special features to find it, lost track of time a bit '-) the usual.
so there. )

the best, funniest line in Blade II sounds right in the beginning: "Jared Nomak? We are ready for you."
and then.
the thing is, I had this faces-like-carnivorous-flowers mental image before I've seen the wretched Blade II. then I tried not to be amused, failed.
well, not quite like this... )
...but close enough #-)
ahhahahah-he-ee-e, sorry... sorry, it's just too fcking perfect #-)

there's a... plague, I guess, walking in our world to the sound of Mordred's Lullaby #-) it is fearsome and fair. it steps lightly yet leaves an unmistakable trail. et cetera #-) and over here one can find a collection of screenshots. (and where, pray, did they get a copy of H2 of such quality, and gods forbid I finally lay me hands on a DVD of that. the world will have to stop for us #-)

[info]imenno вспомнил фразу: "Умереть - не страшно. Страшно - не жить." по ассоциации...
...и внутренне блондинистое мну подумало, что она вполне могла быть [негласным] девизом.
нет, это *не* лечится. совсем.
после всего я же опять сижу - за полночь - и "слушаю наше дыхание". ой-е...
а в голове ветер... вот как-то так:


let us all play along & pretend life's good, okay, guys? for one night?

I mean, lookit them:



not the sweetest thing, though. that would be not even writing, thinking story-wise. 's amazing: you don't do anything, you just accumulate data and dare set a direction, and it just unfolds, gradually, like a weird & beautiful flower. it surprises you '-) it comes up with logic, reason and right emotion all by itself. if it actually wrote itself, though... '-) and I am not exactly qualified, but still in a happy place.

...and damn knowing several languages. now I see a translation of Gaiman's Smoke And Mirrors at a bookstore and know that is Not Quite It, and cannot recommend it to a friend for that very reason. *facepalm*

I am coughing up... stuff. no, I'm not sick. no, I don't know how it got there. wth...
...and what I do is contemplate the taste of starlight #-) way to go, girl.
[would starlight give you a sore throat? mm, the possibilities.]
[the possibilities: ars magna lucis & umbrae; texture: liquescence and rasp; minds beautiful and terrifying; structure: refraction and fracture... gameplay. natural calamities '-) fallen skies and earthquakes contained '-) only to be reminded of humanity, time and again, until it sinks all the way in.]
story notes: the how [and why] of writing something I actually hate [guilt-trippig in this case]. the frail balance of the thing.
[wherein cool means temperature and I am desperately trying to forget the future.]
oh, I do need rum for this one. Cuba Libre.

I did catch the Phantom. and then I could not stop, for my ideas of beautiful are odd. but look. isn't he..? )
[aye, that version of Phantom as an interpretation of Leroux's story sucketh with the rest of them, but it - alas? - does have its magic moments. soul music, for one.]

and as the Independence Day is upon us, my patriotic kusudamas, let me show you them! )

and then I had to watch Poltergeist: The Legacy 1.6, Man in the Mist, and... guh. wrong move, Elfie. wrong, wrong move. also, kind of this. hit me '-)

too lazy & tired to run a decent picspam, but a bit... and the bit is golden.
lookit )
hellp... I've been hit hard #-)
aw, the sweetest exasperation!

~

speaking of golden, the Yozayan reading & research paid off in a weird, weird way: I dreamt of... a robot spy. imagine C3PO, polished to his best, lurking in the halls and galleries of a palace decorated excessively, all but built of gold bullion. two men pass by, tall, clad in black with gold filigree & traces of scarlet. their footfalls are silent, their talk is soft, only heavy fabrics whisper silkily... they pass, and a portion of a wall steps up & opens its round electric eyes. sneaky...

tomorrow I shall see how 'my' bank fares. am still a bit sick, am sicker of the sick leave, dunno what to do with myself, really...
am feeling somewhat lost. have found sketches for P&C drinking game on my desktop. I'd hit that, only there are no spirits in the house.
on the third hand, despite the sunshine overdose, I did not spontaneously combust and have finally watched The Bank.

no, I dunno why I'm not in bed yet either. however, since I am journal-spamming instead, have a taste. of Dust.
