last night i ventured over to the boyfriend's father's house for a partial family gathering and an opportunity to be interrogated extensively. said interrogation barely transpired, however.
the dinner itself was the most amazing thanksgiving meal i've ever had; i felt like i was in a martha stewart dimension, right down to the pumpkin pie being completely homemade...with homegrown pumpkins, even. i had always wondered if people actually lived like that, but apparently they do.
after boring conversations and strange family awkwardness, we departed relatively unscathed [having adopted the mantra fear is the mindkiller as a means of survival]. not only did we escape after only two hours of confrontation, but we also managed to kidnap riley, the super-cool younger sister of the boyfriend who was up visiting from san fransisco. we attempted to show the sf massive that good times could be had in seattle, despite it being seattle and thanksgiving to boot. the boyfriend and i ended up avoiding cold by hiding out in the tower records, where us dj types managed to spend a collective $120 in a span of about twenty minutes.
after the inpromptu shopping spree, the three of us headed out to see star wars: episode II on the imax [again]. it wasn't as good as the last time, due to poor focus, etc., but still...star wars. we then returned riley to her father's house, grabbed some pumpkin pie, and returned home to a fun-filled night of science fiction reading and other recovery tactics.
but mmm, records.

a wise boy once told me that it's easier to wish for a change in the nature of one's present scenery rather than to demand a complete and total shift in location, so why is it that motion is the only part i crave?

oh my. i find it incredibly sexy when boys casually drop the word "essentially" into random conversation. the only thing hotter would be getting taken to the library on a date.

dj spooky [tsk]- subliminal minded ep |
] |
so i'm interested in visual interpretations of cyberspace. i just finished a [fairly decent, albeit still trashy] poppy z. brite book last night in which one of the central characters experiences a hallucinogen/haunted house induced reality shift in which he fancies himself as propelled through a physical cyberspace that is essentially an elaborated upon gibsonian model.
i want to know how people other than ms. brite reconcile the absence of matter that is "cyberspace"; how do our minds compensate for this in forming their own visual representations of abstract concepts like datagrams and routes of electrical impulses? is there a collective consciousness, a generally held image of a literal "world of the wired" as depicted in serial experiments lain or neuromancer, etc.? and if there is one, is this collective consciousness merely a product of socialization by commonly known artistic representations of cyberspace, or does it reveal a subconscious knowledge of the presence of cyberspace as a spatial plane that exists in quasi-physical form? and more importantly, am i making any sense at all?
i'd also be interested to know if it's considered bad form to quote unidentified dj spooky samples in a presentation about the state of political and cultural participation in the age of the internet.
