GIGGLING AND STUMBLING

I had a nice evening last night playing spirit guide to a young lady who had quit her job and taken some psychedelic drugs and decided she wanted to go wandering down by the river and crack her whips in the middle of the night.

GIGGLING AND STUMBLING

Giggling and stumbling, coloured lights flashing all around her periphery, she decided it would be best if she climbed a tree right now. She wrapped her arms around a branch and hoisted herself up against it's trunk, The smell was so rich and fresh and alive. She just stood there for what seemed like hours, her breasts pressed against the solid mass of wood, her hair brushing against the leaves, her nose inflamed with sensation. We looked up at her from the ground, a little worried she might fall, but mostly pleased she was having such a glorious, sensuous time. The water in the creek burbled away.

LONG STRANDS OF GELATINOUS FLUID

Nothing too memorable coming out of the brain this at writingeverymorning week, though this one on Valentine's day was was nice and sticky... http://writingeverymorning.blogspot.com.au/

LONG STRANDS OF GELATINOUS FLUID

Long strands of gelatinous fluid link my love and I always. It feels good to know we are connected but it can be problematic for others. The fluid is very sticky. Little dogs get trapped in it, and as their owners attempt to extract them, they too become stuck and panicky. The only option is to execute them. The police understand this, and brook us no contretemps. But the corpses are no easier to extract than live bodies, and so we are constantly connected to many corpses, as well as each other. This thought dulls the romance slightly.

BIRDMAN OR (THE UNEXPECTED VIRTUE OF IGNORANCE) ( Alejandro González Iñárritu, 2014)

It is a rare and welcome occurrence when I find myself grinning so much throughout an entire film that my mouth hurts, just rushing on the buzz of great cinema. I loved everything about this. The script, the acting, the the jazz drumming score, the constantly moving one long shot style of filming, the ambiguity of the whole metaphysical aspect. I loved the way it's very much an insiders take on the world of Broadway theatre, something I know bugger all about. I loved the way Edward Norton's character was such a jerk but you couldn't help kinda liking him. And it's so good to Naomi Watts in something good again. What an actress. I kinda feel like she balances out the scales for that whole Russell Crow thing our region inflicted on the world.

Seeing this really makes me wanna revisit this guys first film, Amores Perros (which i loved when it came out), and get around to seeing the half a dozen other things he's made in the mean time....

To get off this list, reply saying: The senior Houthi leader said that he was eager to establish ties with the country’s former allies, including the United States, despite his militants’ motto being “Death to America.” “It’s not meant to suggest harming American people,” he said. “This is just a slogan.”

SNAKES SIZZLE ON THE FRYPAN

This weeks improvised writing featured goats and tarantulas, horses with their heads stuck in honey and streets flooded with gravy. And some snakes today. I didn't know what would happen to the snakes in the pan when I started, I certainly didn't imagine they'd end up as jazz musicians...

SNAKES SIZZLE ON THE FRYPAN

Snakes sizzle on the frypan. They hiss at each other trying to formulate a plan on how to get out, but their hissings get all mixed up with the sizzling. It is quite a conundrum. All of a sudden the cook slips over, pranging the fraypan handle with his arm and sending the snakes, these very oily snakes, flying out of the kitchen and onto the stage. The jazz musicians, wrapped up in the deep concentration needed to perform their art, do not see the snakes coming and are horribly burned as these snakes covered in boiling oil slap against their faces. The musicians scream and run off stage, abandoning their instruments. The snakes, not wanting to see a riot occur, attempt to play some jazz despite the obvious limitations of their legless, armless stature. They don't sound half bad.

THE DARK SIDE OF BARBIE (great photography / sculpture project by Mariel Clayton)

More gold! I really love these. The attention to detail is really something, and some of them get sooooo dark it is quite comical. The one below is relatively safe for work, the others not so much...

DEEP DARK FEARS (great illustration project by Fran Krause)

People submit their irrational fears and Fran illustrates them in fine style. I love it.
