sexy can go die somewhere of syphilis, i'm bringing dour back.

music video for ‘inertia’

i'm sure this won't be the last traditional music video i put together, although i don't have much respect for the medium and have no interest in doing it as something mandatory.

this footage just struck me as very powerful, and fitting to the track.

i'm basically convinced that free will doesn't exist, because parasites.

 ^ that is legitimately chilling though, albeit sort of touching. the parasite does this long dance that ends with it caressing the dead roach, sort of hugging it goodbye.

 and, perhaps my empathy is pathogenic.

hrmmmn.

yeah, yeah. i know. not everybody can appreciate the beauty in this.

so, back to the jennifer aniston romcoms with ya, then.

(no subject)

well, then.

happy things. merry stuff.

weirdness prevails.

hey, check this out:

those images hit me sort of deeply, so i orchestrated them. there's such an ambiguous overlap between love and parasitism....the video wasn't shot with this is mind, but the exploration it presents of that overlap is just sort of wow.

i cried making it. are the images as powerful as i see them, or am i just insane?

wait, don't answer.

you should come visit.

i just caught a centipede eating the hair in my sink.

i suppose hair has protein. kinda desperate, though.

it seems to almost mourn over the loss of it's host, like it's doing some kind of ritual.

actually, i got one right away. it's in a plastic baggie - i guess i can bring this upstairs...?

i'm no entomologist, but it sure looks like a roach to me. again, it seems to have come out of the wall looking for water; i caught it near the shower. also, given the pattern i've seen, i suspect it may be the same one i saw a few days ago and let get away into the crack. i really don't think there's an infestation in the unit, but rather a high number near by. when one gets in, it runs around for a few days until i catch it and then i don't see another for weeks....

ugh. if you must rot your brain with the garbage they call "film" nowadays, can you please have the common fucking courtesy to not monopolize the entire block's bandwidth for hours at a time?

BAN NETFLIX.

when you contemplate what this technology could be doing, it's flat out revolting to think it's being wasted on middle aged bureaucrats watching jennifer aniston romcoms - to the point that it's starting to strangle service. that's the kind of imagery that makes me yearn for the consequences of nuclear warfare.

i'm pretty sure my upstairs neighbours got netflix for christmas, and i'm going to have to move to dsl as a result. i'll give it a few more days...
