Watched a lot of movies since the incident of which I will speak no further till the chickens come home to roost. 

Yeah, I said I was busy, and when you see how many movies I'm about to write down, you'll be all "what the fuck, dude. Is this what you call busy?"

Yes, actually. Watching a movie or a cartoon is a thing I take almost as seriously as reading a book or a comic. Don't you know that these things I have mentioned, plus video games and like, sculptures and paintings--though of course a video game is made of sculptures and paintings, and a movie is many photographs and a sound recording of music and lyrics and lines like from a book--are the only god damn thing that makes all this other solid nonsense tolerable? The assholes and the wars and the massive human and terrestrial cost of carrying out the project of a civilzation?

Anyway. The movies. Watching this many movies and paying the kind of attention to them that I do is work, the most worthwhile kind of work there is. All movies were new to me unless marked with a "*". "$" will indicate ones I saw on the big screen. Finally, "%" symbol will show you the three I watched with other people; otherwise, I was by myself.

In addition, the odd new Craig of the Creek and the currently condensing drip of The Acolyte and House of the Dragon have taken up some brainspace. Also started fixing up my destroyed-ass office finally, been a wreck since April; as well as the usual doing of chores, gathering of materials for art, smoking, working, general decay.

Summer's good because you decay in comfort, and amidst great beauty. The world is always beautiful, but summer is easiest to exist in. Fall is best because it is also comfortable and the decay matches everything around you.

Ok peace
