Coil - The Ape Of Naples - 07 - Heaven's Blade |
] |
One of these 'pick things for me to write about things' and i think its traditiont hat i offer to chose ones for you to do as well, if you want, nt like it meas i have to type much more :)
Miss bulloch chose ones i didn't expect.
Comfort
Odd choice, but hey, i listed it. Comfort is a thing I don't feel very often, I am by nature a very finicky creatyure, and i do not find comfort often, and by that i mean beig able to sit and be for the most part at peace with myself and everything else, there's usually something scraping at windows in the back of my mind to keep me out of the comfort zone, and often even when i do get there I'm constantly expecting something else to fuck up, so I never get it for long.
Hot women
What can I say, I'm a guy? But really, it's no secret that I have a weakness fora pretty lass, but it's rarely just about looks. Given the multitudes of swatch I deal with on a nightly basis, I'm lucky if i see 3 or 4 of what I'd really class at 'hot women' a week. It's more about te way they move, speak and carry themselves in general. Standards have definately changed since I've got old I think, I noticed some time ago when i was having to start moving stuff from the 'porn' folder to the 'photography' folder.
Mythology
Growing up atching Ray Harryhausen movies probaly has a lot to do with this one, also being a bit of a bookworm kid and loving stories of anciant heroes and big fuckoff monsters to defeat. What's always interesting is trying to find the grains of truth in old stories before chinese whispers and storytellers never letting the truth get in the way of a good yarn embellish it, and is oft times a lot more interesting than the fancied up version. I still love such things, same way I love fairy tales, the best ones always have something to them that's not always immediately eveident.
Resident Evil
Zombies plus shotguns plus creepy as fuck ambient music and long periods of quiet followed by things jumping out at you causing you to scream and shit yourself because you've been playing for 5 hours and its now 4am and you haven't saved in forever aaaaarrrgggghhh
Swords,
Most likely linked to old movies i used to watch and the whole mythologgy thing, I've always loved swords and knives, and had a fair collection since I was wee, I remevber being about 12 abd had a box full of daggers, scythe blades, circular saws, machettes and the l;ike which was myseriously 'lost' (i blame my mum) and looking aroiund me now I can see several different types of blade in arms reach. Oh healthy thoughts. I always thought it'd be great to duel with a sworn enemy to the death, there's a certain brutality and grace in a swordfight that guns just don't have, I may just hve heaviy romanticised ideas about such things though.
Zombies!
I mean, who doesn't love the undead, seriously? Do you have YOUR zombie holocaust plan worked out yet? The whole mythos is fascinating though, from the haitain tradition to the Romero archetype, i always loved zombie films, and a common reccourant theme in my dreams is being in a group of survivors while the undead are surrounding us, and I'm generally the last one left after I've watched everyone I care about die or become one of them and turn against me and i have to kill them to save myself.

The gallery space is downstairs, and you can buy coffee, soup, food and use the free wifi upstairs if you are so inclined, and recline in the big comfy couches. So do come along, and If you're feeling rich, buy a print so I can do fun stuff like eat.
So that's Offshore Cafe,

Looks like I'll be doing my opening night of photos on the 25th, expect a big whistles and bells type entry in a few days from every conceivable internet source I have available to me.
The downside is that means I won't be able to take photos of David Lynch, as I was meant to eb doing that on the same evening. Grrr.

Who has never killed an hour? Not casually or without thought, but carefully: a premeditated murder of minutes. The violence comes from a combination of giving up, not caring, and a resignation that getting past it is all you can hope to accomplish. So you kill the hour. You do not work, you do not read, you do not daydream. If you sleep it is not because you need to sleep. And when at last it is over, there is no evidence: no weapon, no blood, and no body. The only clue might be the shadows beneath your eyes or a terribly thin line near the corner of your mouth indicating something has been suffered, that in the privacy of your life you have lost something and the loss is too empty to share.

It is hungry. It is immortal.
Worse, it knows nothing of whim.

It occurs to me that the worst thing in the world is Nothing.
When you can sit and ask yourself 'What do I want?', 'How do I feel?', What will I do today?','What makes me happy?' and Nothing is the answer to all.
Nothing on your mind, Nothing planned, Nothing to look forward to, Nothing to do with yourself, Nothing hoped.
And when you want, feel, think and hope Nothing, then that's what you turn into.
It's the worst thing in the world.

Decided I'm not going to Australia next year after all, told my mum this today. There's no way I'll have enough spending money for 3 weeks even if i start saving now, and I'd have to have that plus a months rent set aside, plus 3 weeks is more or less my whole holiday time for the year used up right at the start of the year meaning i might as well write next summer off completely as well. The price for the flight alone that my mum would be paying is near enough a years rent for me, and i can think of about a thousand things i could better do with that kind of cash, so I'm dingying it.
The prospect of it was just depressing me anyway, my head is such a mess just now that having something like that looming on the horizon was just more worry than it's worth, I have absolutely no idea what the fuck I'll be doing come then anyway.
I feel a bit bad about it as it may well be the last time my mum gets to go away as her health isn't too great and she wants another family holiday.
Alison is moving out of here at the end of the month, Iba is moving in.
Stressing out about this photo exhibition in October, need to get stuff printed and framed soon.
And that's about all the news in the land of Brian, nothing else has happened, no word from hospital/doctors/prospective employers/anyone/anything.
2007 can just go fuck itself.

Still no results from my scan thing, because it was arranged through the clinic i was referred to, my own doctor doesn't get the results, and i've to go back for a review regardless of the results when they come in anyway it seems.
Whoop de fucking do.
Still no news on the job front (i've applied for one or 3 things now) or indeed, no news or progress on anything i've made any attempt to do in the past couple of months.

I'd like this entry to be full of positive things and how much better i'm feeling and how many new avenues have opened up for me, how many ideas I have, but it's not going to be, so let's leave it at that.
Going to the Doc's tomorrow, hopefully getting the results of last months scan, as they've not been sent here as yet as the hospital said they would, so with luck i get to find out if I've been walknig around with the potential of dropping dead at any second or not.

How unimportant things you notice round about you gain relevance dependant on your perspective, like fate has put them there just to piss you off.
Anyway, should be having a wee exhibition of photos in offshore sometime in October, so going to have to start getting stuff printed and framed soon in preperation.
