been tired and down right fatigue, complete lethargic. having a hard time keeping up with conversations and get lost in a group. mostly just feel like going to sleep and sometimes I do esp if this socializing takes place outside sitting down. no one bats an eye besides the harmless joke and teasing here and there. it might be the weather. but just maybe stress or not really caring about anything anyone talks about.
great place to post this huh?! its not a facade or a statement. I just really tired. also too old to get mad anymore and lash out. been taking advantage of lately by friends. mostly money. I give people lots of money that would help me out in life. hundreds of dollars that I work hard for to give for car problems rent problems and not get anything in return. like just ignored. etc... |

congrats for all that. but i'm also curious about the videos you played! cmon, you got us involved. now tell. |

How about Man With A Movie Camera? |
Quote:
It certainly would make for some nice visuals. I'll consider it. Appreciate your input. |
wow i had never heard of the phantom carriage-- i'll have to check that out! also the color of pomegranates. wow!
as for vertov-- he probably would have found your goth gigs romantic and highly counterrevolutionary ha ha ha-- he wanted to turn citizens into machines |
Quote:
Aww man, that film is fucking hard work. |
Quote:
which one? i think i don't understand what you mean by "hard work"-- hard to watch or a great achievement? oh wait the color of pomegranates-- i see the boldface now. read the wikipedia entry on it and i don't expect it to entertain me but i'm ultra curious. |

Interestingly enough though, his work has a very experimental and free vibe to it. Something that is also echoed in Russian photography around and after the October revolution. Aleksandr Rodchenko comes to mind. His angles were exceptional. |
Quote:
I'm only gonna use a fragment of it though. |
Quote:
hell yes, he was as experimental as they come, fantastic visuals, but ideologically he was committed diametrically elsewhere-- the movie itself condemns things like lipstick, if i recall. it's been a few years since i last saw it but with him it's all about being a good worker for the revolution. if you use him he'll start turning in his grave ha ha ha. use him! :P |

Yeah, like many of his contemporaries. This dichotomy of artistic freedom and extreme ideological views is fascinating to say the least. I love the visual techniques of the movie, but you're right that it might not be all too fitting for such an event. Oh and you really should check The Phantom Carriage out. It is a very impressive feat for its time. Visually it is quite similar to many German Expressionist films of that time, but without all the over the top facial expressions and camera-mugging. In fact, the acting is quite restrained and remarkably true to life. And the overlay effects that were used to make the actors appear ghostly must have been a lot of work back then. They are still beautiful to look at today. |
My coworker's phone must be connected to every social medium out there. It buzzes every 30 seconds. What the hell. it's like Chinese water torture.
I found this phone buzz sound effect online. I'm going to start retaliating pretty soon. |

ha ha-- i can't remember though it sounds familiar. i was talking about vertov though. |
Hey, I need some help over here. I'm going crazy.

Quote:
is this a new job? who is the neighbor? |
Same old job, new neighbor. I don't want to be too stinky about it, though, because she's a good worker. But goddamn that phone noise! And goddamn the cubicle life. Maybe I need to retire and go work at Walmart.

Quote:
just adopt a really folksy and friendly manner while you make deadly threats well no just introduce this new coworker to the office culture of keeping the fucking noise down. really i don't know. i'm a cranky fucker. i'd act crazy an dyell CAN SOMEONE PLEASE STOP THAT GODDAMN NOISE. i almost shot a neighbor's dog several times due to noise. i only stopped because it was a nice dog with an asshole owner. shooting the owner would have been the thing to do, but i don't like the prospect of jail time. |

Had to google Worf's son. Ha ha. It's Rozhenko, but I do have to admit their names sound similar. One wonders if one of the writers of The Next Generation was really into experimental Soviet photographers. |
Ha ha!!! Well, that makes me feel better. At least I got a laugh.
Yeh, noise. It makes me crankier than anything. I'll sound like a cranky old man and say this: I think the world has gotten a lot noisier. I'm serious. It feels like nobody respects personal space anymore, there are no boundaries. "Oh, let me just tell you everything about everything that happened to me this weekend and I don't care how loud I have to talk to let everyone hear me." Another coworker sticks her phone in my face to show me the latest baby pictures of her drooling, crapping niece. She literally shoves it just inches from my nose, and I have to pull back in my chair to focus on the little shit because this coworker can't understand that I wear glasses with progressive lenses because I'm nearsighted. What's more, she has gigantic boobs, and when she does this, her nipples are literally a couple of inches from my lips. Sexual harassment, anyone!? I'm calling HR! Quote:

okay. but this is your chance to train her-- while she's new. once the behavior is established you're fucked.
someone said it takes 2 or 3 weeks to establish the rules of a relationship. this was about sentimental relationships but i assume it also applies to work. don't waste your chance to shut that shit down before it's too late. |
I'm going to tell her tomorrow morning as soon as she comes through the door. I'm going to say, "Knock that shit off. All your buzz buzz with the phone all the fuck day long. Enough, just fucking enough. Got it?"
Just like that. |
Get over it, man. You have no idea what I put up with at work.

I'm so sorry, Genteel Death. I will pray for you.

Good advice! Thank you.
I'd wear my tight Levi's jeans and a white t-shirt but jeans day isn't until Friday. Maybe I should wait until then, for best effect. Quote:

Don't pray for me, I am more than capable of looking after myself. Just stop being a crybaby.

I'll pray for you if I fucking feel like it, fucker.

Forget it. It was just a figure of speech. You know what that is, right?

So, here it goes, my complete list of visuals. It's in German because it was initially created after the fact for the visitors, but there are only a few terms that actually need translation. "Filmausschnitt" means a fragment or a specific scene of a movie. "Kurzfilm" means short film. "Archivaufnahme" is equivalent to stock footage. "Werbung" means commercial. I will use a lot of the things that have been recommended to me during my next gig. I went a bit over my head with the stuff I've collected this time, so many things I wanted to incorporate didn't make the cut yet. But they're ready to have their moment the next time around.
