the strange, gay and self-referential photographs of anthony goicolea.
.

i’m very liberal. i always recommend my gay male friends to do abortion.

somewhere in the middle of my chaos, i finished watching lain. the ending is very anticlimatic, but well, that was the tone since the begining. it reminded me a lot of ketamine trips, and the john lilly’s motto “the key is no key”. in fact, it was the first time i’ve heard about john lilly in more popular medias (and vanevar bush’s memex also). since then, only scattered on the web.
.
digging thru orkut communities (it’s system is a helluva mess - i still coudn’t find what its architects want to convey, or if they’re just glueing old ones together - but since whoever adds & connects more users wins this game of social systems, there i am and winners they are) i found this page, comparing the computers between lain and apple.
.
some other insights: vanevar bush wanted to create memex (his system of “augmentation of human intellect”, as he used to say) to help on the manhattan project. atomic bomb, information bomb, it reminded me directly paul virilio (”The information bomb is economic warfare under the pretext of freedom“). This guys gives me the creeps: he’s a luddite with the right arguments.
.
and damn, the anime talks about schumann resonance, simply the natural resonance of planet earth: tap into this vibe and, well, you have a natural web. in fact, that was some of the premises of the anime, a programmer pointing a new version of a popular software thru this resonance - and thus spreading the wired outside the computer world - and the templars, trying to “reverse the damage”, treating the feature as a virus, because it was against their plans for the web to meld with the “real” world. and of course, lain in the middle of it, a wild card, trapped between the two worlds.
.
the thing that struck me was that i didn’t know about it before. it means me, a collector of conspiracy theories and weird science, wasn’t aware of it. all under nikola tesla information cluster. gotta know more about the early etherites (they lost this paradigm war for the thomas edison’s crew), and it really hurts to be infected by a paradigm that can’t be used (unless you go nuts and dive into it, but no, thanks, my agenda is full).
.

this netfix thing is doing good to me. now we’re watching the shoujo kakumei utena series, a mix of shoujo imagery (roses, lean guys, colorful hairs, gay romance, romantic relationships, faerie atmosphere), invisible college (a school of revolution, en of the world, constant change, metamorphosis) and a lot of psychoanalysis (all the sassy and girlie characters, when nearer the central myth, become more deep and their inner struggle, like an occasional zoom in that gives you insights of their behavior, before and after). and damn, it’s w.e.i.r.d!

Aquarius is fascinated by drunk people and capable of holding interesting conversations with soused strangers while sober.

jeff was listening gaydar radio, and a song from the movie made me remember to ask thabata to rent it.
.
me, thabata, jeff and roger watched the movie (it’s jeff’s day off, so we had a lot of free time).
.
the movie talks about time travel. schizophrenia. a tangent universe that can’t stand by itself and colapses. fourth dimension and vectors as goo oozing from your chest. and commitment to Sparkle Motion.
.
and some nerds even printscreened parts of the movie to peek some quotes from the book “philosophy of time travel” (i’ve already tried to search on amazon - hey, what if? - but it’s just a prop from the movie).

accountability update
.
meu computer morreu, de vez. eu já estava desconfiando do hd, então instalei (mentira, jeff instalou) o antigo (6 Gb, em comparação dos 30 Gb do “bichado”), pus mac os x again, botei o bichado como slave e refiz as personalidades.
.
reminder nerd: mail (não sei pq desta vez não peguei os sent messages, nem sig), address book (completo, exceto minha carinha, que precisei refazer), bookmarks (ok), ichat (mooole), fontes (não entendi até agora, ele diz que pega, mas necas, nem classificação nem nada. como confiar num app que não permite backups?), photoshop, dreamweaver (sem os sites, mas eu os salvei em separado, antes)…
.
antes disso, eu estava remontando a animação que tinha feito do jycp, no notebook. não, não precisei usar, mas perdi um bom tempo. ;-/
.
um conhecido meu daqui de nyc foi pro brasil em turnê com my robot friend e pediu contatos. passei nep, woo (do apavoramento) e spark. ele queria contatos gays, mas well, não tenho amigos gays confiáveis, presumo (dá uma olhada no site dele, muita coisa boa, o cara tem história).
.
nisso, nep aproveita para pedir - provavelmente de graça - um flyer pruma festa aê. e eu fiz, duh!
.

.
são 9:51 da matina aqui, tô virado mas terminei a animação. hoje ainda, terminar o layout do html (prometi pra terça, caraleo).
.
papeando por aim com criminal, annam e spark, e por mail com bruna (a única sem nome de super-heróis por aqui… ;)
