^I think you're being surrealistic. I already told you, I like Impressionism.

 

[Solipsis]

Maybe that's the impression you're getting from me because you're an impressionist?

Also, when did you 'already' tell me 8( I'm telling you, something is not right... way too many haiku's

 

[Thorns Have Roses]

^I already told PD socialites, if you neglect this thread, that ain't my fault. I have yet to write a haiku this year, FYI.

Maybe that's the impression you're getting from me because you're an impressionist?

I keep things en plein air.


So I've been thinking about the best course of action to take, in light of recent...things. Then I remembered the words of Ms. Frizzle, " Take chances, make mistakes, get messy!" So let's not worry about that. Never doubt The Magic School Bus.

 

[Solipsis]

Do you portray cottagers or it is more like people asking you to draw them like that French girl?

Cypress tree silhouettes amid a thousand stars. Floodlit palm trees on summer nights. The moon framed between oak branches. Rivers flowing lazily, streetlights blurred hazily. Eucalyptus bark white white white pouring into my awe-struck soul. Coldness and wind and angles and architecture. My brain is filled with that sorta thing, though I lack skills to share it.

I find myself increasingly dissatisfied with actual words these days. Feel like pictograms or cuneiform or whatever needs to make a comeback.

Ugh, such a hangover this morning, I feel like ass (physically, not emotionally fortunately). But seriously, I took some 4-FA last night, and after a while I decided I wanted some more and I went ahead and added a low-ish dose of 4-HO-MET, and holy shit, the amount of euphoria I was feeling was amazing, 10 times more than 4-FA alone, plus a little psychedelia. It felt like being in love, just like it... that solar plexus throb that feels so similar to anxiety but its nature is warm and pleasurable instead of sharp and anxious. I kept finding myself sitting there with my mouth hanging open, hardly able to believe how I felt, the air gently touching my face felt like warm velvet, and it felt like I had someone I deeply love embracing me, I almost broke down into tears a few times, of joy. But at the same time I was acutely aware of how similar in nature love and sadness and anxiety are, it's difficult to explain but I kept feeling on the verge of crying for two reasons, two seemingly opposite reasons. I thought a lot about my failed relationship and it made me feel sad-happy. It was really interesting to feel the feeling of being in love from drugs, because I hadn't felt that in quite a while but I miss it terribly. It was more of an actual love feeling than MDMA even. The feeling was closest to the first time I rolled, but in fact it was different, more mental, more real.

At some point I redosed a small amount of the combo because it was starting to fall off, and it came back just as strong... but then after a little bit, I realized my stomach had been gradually hurting more and more. At some point I realized hey, that's not how my stomach is supposed to feel. It was a feeling like my entire stomach area and/or intestines were on fire, inside. Eventually it got too painful to sit there anymore, and I went to lay down, which helped a slight bit. It got really bad for a while, I started to get scared because it felt really wrong. It hurt so much I was sweating and pale. It didn't feel like it was something in my stomach (and I was doing rectal admin anyway), it reminded me of one time where I was super stopped up from opiates, and I was trying to get off them and taking a lot of kava tincture for over a week straight. My guts started burning insanely then, it felt like a blockage, and I almost went to the ER it was so bad, that time. That time was worse, but it was focused on a single point in my gut, this time it was equally burning in the whole area. It definitely wasn't a blockage though this time as things were moving fine, it just felt like a similar pain.

Anyway, it gradually started fading, and by the time I went to sleep it was just a twinge now and then, and this morning it doesn't hurt, but it is uneasy. I don't know if the stomach issues were related to the combo, I can tell it wasn't too good for me (maybe largely due to the amount of 4-FA I took, more than the combo - in fact in some ways I feel better this morning than if I just take 4-FA alone). But it sure was an interesting and emotionally intense experience. I definitely feel that I got something worthwhile from it. And I discovered a highly synergistic combo.

On another note, Game of Thrones is back, and I'm so excited!

Yeah S04E01 was good but I think GoT is one of the most overrated series.. the hype is just too big even when it is really quality series but I have watched so many better shows. Maybe I should read the books to become a real fan.

I've been completely sober for a week now. Im wondering if I should continue on this path or enjoy some Australian Shiraz wine with White Widow and maybe a small dose MXE tomorrow :3

 

[pharmakos]

^ a week of sobriety is a lot imo =p





i've got a job interview in an hour and a half. pretty nervous.... both of how i'll do in the interview, and how i'll do on the drug test they'll likely want me to take right after.

wish me luck guys.

 

[Xorkoth]

Good luck!

 

[pharmakos]

back already. the interview went well. the physical isn't for another 10 days, thank the lord.... more time to clean out my system before the drug test.

so long as i pass the physical/drug test i've got the job!

 

[Xorkoth]

Woohoo! Congrats!

I find myself increasingly dissatisfied with actual words these days. Feel like pictograms or cuneiform or whatever needs to make a comeback.

Do you mean alphabets? A word is the smallest meaningful unit of speech/writing (that can stand on its own), sorta an inherent part of human language.

I'm a fan of alphabets. I'm disillusioned logographic systems (I took Chinese once), abjads (see: Hebrew and Arabaic) seem intimidating, syllabaries are okay (and can be funny, e.g. monolingual Japanese people speaking English words), pictograms are impractical unless used like so, I have no opinion on abugidas (besides Tengwar).

So what's everybody's favorite alphabet? I'm rooting for the home team, Latin.

 

[SONN]

My personal favorite is Arabic. You can see the brush stroke in like half of the letters it's beautiful from a design standpoint.

I think me going to the Al Hambra has to do with that though. It's unreal.

 

[SONN]

this ceiling though. how did they even come up with this?

seriously it's so geometrically complex it makes me drool.

 

[Thorns Have Roses]

^Wonderful architecture. I imagine math was involved. Islam's limitations on what may be portrayed in art definitely had some positive consequences.


I was totally not counting abjads as alphabets, sure they are if we're gonna get overly technical, but they're kinda their own thing. I am fond of Arabic calligraphy:

NSFW:

Here are a few takes on "Allahu Akbar"

As for the abjads: NKB lks wrtng sstms tht ncld vwls.



edit:NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I didn't hear the oven timer, and my pizza was burnt to a crisp.

 

[Thorns Have Roses]

Weather's finally getting that nice Spring (many other folk's Summer) feeling. Smoking, drinking, never thinking of tomorrow. Nonchalant.



It is just like old days.

I'm making some Indian food, my own recipe. My whole house smells delicious. I put one too many roma tomatoes in, and for the first 20 minutes of lightly boiling to reduce it over 3 and a half hours, it was dribbling over the side, and kept trying to burn to the edges of the pot (I have a flat range-top with coils underneath the surface, it's a bad ass oven). I must have lost half a cup of curry liquid.

this ceiling though. how did they even come up with this?

seriously it's so geometrically complex it makes me drool.

That... is... amazing! I think that's my favorite architecture I have ever seen.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I didn't hear the oven timer, and my pizza was burnt to a crisp.

Aw, sorry dude, I hate that.
