Watching and Reading

I WATCH Books and read Movies.

Seem to no longer be reading text, it operates independently of my eyes, it'll play its chords whether I'm looking or not.  It happens.

What's going on with movies?  They're cool, behaved.  I have a mastery over them.   The movie plays its speed how fast I am looking at it.  It happens as it occurs to me.

I wonder if the web knows this.  I'm not sure what to do about it.  The web is inescapable.  I look forward to the day when we finally meet the Queen, the Spider-Queen and she takes our minds from us.  What's left of them. And raises them to the sky and knowed us to us again. And refreshing returns bring us back again, into the fold.  The shepherd and the flock.  But that still doesn't answer the question.  Evasion.  So I want to say why the reading and why the watching, through what I know of McLuhan, but I can't say.  Heck, I can't even say why there is the current trend towards using rectangular (as opposed to square) TV's.  I'm missing something, clearly. I'll have to think about this. Rock on ?!??!?  til then...

the chimes of time are changing me...

I'm a dropout in the morning, and an acolyte all night.



(Hey it's better than that Joe Gould poem:
In the winter, I'm a Buddhist, and
In the summer I'm a nudist!)
