Hacking The Subconscious
A few of you have noticed my Tarot postings here and on the T-Feed. The practice yielded some followers on the Twi (hello @tanzora and @tarottweets) and got one of my IRL friends to ask what deck I was using. The question I had for myself, however, was WHY was I using a deck again? A few years ago I was into Chaos Magick. You could say “seriously” and I’d correct you by saying “not seriously...
Dark Filmic Alchemy
When I need inspiration I often watch really bad movies. Bearing witness to a cinematic disaser that doubles as a tax shelter for a Bulgarian pension fund films me with a perverse hope that my crazy ambitions too can be realized on the silver screen.
Or at least in the Netflix queue of genre hounds.
Having just subjected myself to an Aeon Flux/Ultraviolet double feature, I suspect that I now...
Imaginarium
My imagination has all the discipline of a 14 year old sugar addict. When I try to get him to focus on one story seed, he decides to cone up with six others. Or a boatload of reasons for why the initial idea is lame. Wouldn’t we rather play Halo right now, or surf for porn?
Sure, he comes up with some pretty entertaining shit sometimes, but I swear… He’d be a lot better to live...
WatchA cartoon version of my writing session… the one that I should be doing right now so I can make tomorrow’s deadline but needed five minutes of mindlessness to make myself feel better.

WatchN’Gai has damn near the same taste in well, everything, as me.. and I love nothing more than Soderbergh in an experimental mode (Bubble notwithstanding). Not sure who this Sasha Grey woman is. Should I have heard of her? [Blinks innocently.]

Just to clarify...
I make no claims of being a “real life wizard”. Won’t cast any spells and I don’t do parties. My interest in magick and the occult is purely psychological and narrative in nature.
I’m a Gnostic at heart. My favorite philosopher is Jesus Christ as he appears in the Gospel of Thomas.

Manifesto
Been reading Scotch based recipies on the Cocktail+ iPhone app- which was/is free for a limited time- and it’s making me thirsty.
Decoupling
The intent here is that by the end of the day I will have broken the link between the twitted accountand this one.
Since I’m failing so miserably at losing weight I’m thinking if trying to GAIN some instead.
NTS: ignore the line about needing several scripts before jumping in. We’d be 40 before our career started.
I’m having a stunningly productive day. But I may have left the lights on at my car. D’oh!
Kal Penn is doing what? http://tinyurl.com/cnb3wo What’s up @BarackObama? I thought that you were against the politics of distraction?

OH: “I’m moving to Norway.” “Why Norway?” “I heard it was more af-fjordable.” #punday.
The coast of Norway is the perfect location for a horror film. In fact, it’s downright skerry. #punday

Either @oliviamunn was born to be the queen of nerds or she is pure unadulterated evil. Still not sure which.
How can three tweet boys wind up with 200 + followers? Crazy!
When they meet like that I know it’s going to be trouble.

I got excited because people are talking about Adventureland.. then i realized it’s the movie, not the Disneyland section. So no hippos.

Why are all the stories on @current during mid-day about models? Is this what happens when you let the internet program your TV network?
Something tells me this is going to be one fucked up Spring.
Finding myself longing for that which I’ve never had- and seeming will never have.
