How to Begin .. In Studio    
I like this lesson six a lot    I love, had not thought of:  "If you can write, you already know how to draw."  marks of writing  handwriting  is drawing.
Lesson 6: Start With a Pencil
marks ///   Don’t worry about drawing. Just make marks. Tell yourself you’re simply diagramming, playing, experimenting, seeing what looks like what
If you can write, you already know how to draw; you already have a form of your own, a style of making letters and numbers and special doodles. These are forms of drawing, too.
While you’re making marks and drawing, pay attention to all the physical feedback you’re getting from your hand, wrist, arm, /int/   ears, your sense of smell and touch. How long can your mark go before you seem to need to lift the pencil and make a different mark? Make those marks shorter or longer. Change the ways you make them at all, wrap your fingers in fabric to change your touch, try your other hand to see what it does. All these things are telling you something. Get very quiet inside yourself and pay attention to everything you’re experiencing. Don’t think good or bad. Think useful, pleasurable, strange. 
   Carry a sketchbook with you at all times.
   Cover a one-by-one-foot piece of paper with marks.  /so, a square.  larger scale than paper.  like a canvas ?  painting   maybe here using just to try a space of material bigger than paper. ~ bolder, maybe.//  But don’t just fill the whole page border to border, edge to edge. (Way too easy.)
Think about what shapes, forms, structures, configurations, details, sweeps, buildups, dispersals, and compositions appeal to you.   // form.  structure. configure.  sweep.  build-up..  disperse.  compose.    compose. configure.   ~ "I have taken oblong and placed upon a square.  ... my triumph."  my great work.  work.  master piece.  mastery. 

material ///    Now do this on another surface, any surface, to know what kind of material appeals to you. Draw on rock, metal, foam-core, coffee cups, labels, the sidewalk, walls, plants, fabric, wood, whatever.
 Just make marks; decorate these surfaces. Don’t worry about doing more. All art is a form of decoration //hmm//.

ideas, what think when there ///  Now ask someone what ideas they get when they look at what you’ve made. They’ve just told you more about what you’ve already done. If the other person sees it in your work, it’s there.
//di piero ~ "not re sophisticated or not  but,  is it intense enough th want live there?"
intense ~ ideas, thought feeling.  exciting.  sth happening.

/(briefly talking w L, S re 'most famous" (S d n agree   to me that's !    th M Jackson)

Once in a Lifetime: Michael Jackson, Madonna, Prince | HuffPost  |  producer Jimmy Jam 2016 re Prince:    He out-talented everyone by so much. In sports, it’d be like Michael Jordan. He walks into the gym and he’s the most talented player; that’s how Prince was. He walked in and he was more talented than everybody...He’d come to rehearsal, work with us, go work with his band, then he’d go to his studio all night and record. The next night he’d come to rehearsal with a tape in his hand and he’d say, ‘This is what I did last night!’ and it’d be something like ‘1999.’”

/makes me happy ?     excellence       just thinking of. 
artistry  also  just in how are   smartness   sharp  ~  person  in the room:  
// I like, what is it, th makes one describe as "He walks in and.."   like, all he has to do is walk into the gym, the studio,   like ~ before he does anything, already better than anyone.    ~ wh he did last night is (as if always) sth like 1999.  (and tvz, smlr story? went to his room then next morning here, song was the one about maria turning over  hopelessness.  whoever telling story  guy clark  steve earl  in same tone  masterpiece   just, here's wh I wrote down)

The Westing Game
We All Must Play “The Westing Game” | Public Books  |  
A later middle-grade classic, Louis Sachar’s 1998 Holes, opens in what is essentially an homage to Sunset Towers: “There is no lake at Camp Green Lake.”     // ~ ?   ~   Sunset towers  ~ everyone knows sun sets in the west. but sunset towers faces east.   //
Sachar’s book [Holes], however, is both more stridently dark and finally more heroic; the traduced and abused children fight back and win.
Raskin [The Westing Game], true to her moment, is less certain of how, or if, final victory comes.  [char] Turtle Wexler, the angry, whip-smart stock-market-aficionado-in-braids whom most readers finally /hmm only in the end//  identify with, thinks she can outwit the game.
But she also cries out helplessly //(I think ~ like ~  in the garden //, at a pivotal moment: “Why is everybody lying?” // ("Why hast thou forsaken me?"  y lying is forsaking?   not being there   not being with  //
Being smart is not necessarily a refuge.   

 .. Don’t trust Uncle Sam? Your only recourse is to hope Uncle Sam fixes everything.

The novel’s ambiance of unappeased suspicion, however, cuts against the contented conclusion of the game plot.    Raskin wrote herself into what now, 40 years later, I’d call an ideological bind, a dissonance between plot and tone.     In this she was capturing her post-Bicentennial moment even better than she had planned. An inexorable and creepy optimism descends to solve, without resolving, the antagonisms that have simmering under the surface all along.  Don’t trust Uncle Sam? Your only recourse is to hope Uncle Sam fixes everything.

//tone       ////vs////                                                                                                                             plot.

the difference between the rules that structure a game and the rationale for those rules, a challenge for the intellect that still quietly insists that winning games isn’t all that it seems.

Congress movie

The Congress Official Trailer Robin Wright, Jon Hamm HD - YouTube  /az prime watchlist I had removed bcs ~ d n like seeing image robin wright ~cold   and not m int j hamm and p giamatti in cast / but wanted to recall so searched first tht charlize theron then got to r wright
/and huh maybe I d n even get to watching trailer bcs thinking now I do want to watch this:

"What is on the other side?"  "Truth."   * ?  other side  back in supposed actual world?  ~      
// reminds of Tender is the Night  the artist ~ I found sth there, what was it I found?     ~ Nothing.    exploratin edges cnscnss for ppl w thick ankles peasants blood (tough)  // 
"Can I go back to where I came from?"      
"There is no such thing as where you came from."   

The Congress (2013 film) - Wkp |  Abrahama City is an animated zone, where individuals are required to use chemicals to become animated avatars of themselves, entering a mutable illusory state; they can become anything they want to be. ....      While Robin can return to an animated existence("Can I go back to where I came from?"), she cannot return to the one /the life she had been in/ she left behind, including [her son], because that world was not real but created by her consciousness.       /oh well darn so her animated invented fr consciousness world is the "where came fr" of wh there is now no such thing.      I want ~ th to be (considered?  felt as?)   the real.     
I wanted the  supposed ~actual~ world  (filmed not drawn) in which she lived until going into the created animated one to be the "no such thing"



az    -It's weird that human beings will spend as much time as they possibly can inside of stories  TV, movies, religion, gossip, video games, etc. Most people seem to hate reality,
/// no ~  to much of th   ~   It's   that  will spend as /so/ much time   inside of stories  TV, movies, religion, gossip, video games, etc. Most people seem to hate reality //this is reality.  spend time interested.  engaged.  inside gossip  ~  inside conversation.    ~  might better distinguish?    virtual ~  sensory? input   * more or less designed *   (always designed some *   right?  architecture   even just how you ‘set up camp” on desert island   just little square brushed dirt by tree to lean on //    
and they will leave it in any way they possibly can, and as soon as they possibly can.  // no ~ they will *choose* it  choose where want to be //  

 Stanislaw Lem, who wrote the novella that this movie is based on, thought the ultimate // ~ // reality-escape technology // ~ //   would be pharmacological (it was the early 70's!), but we now know that it will be information technology.   //int ~ cool.  Your grandkids will almost certainly binge-watch stories using hyper-real virtual reality, 24/7, 365 days a year.
  This is a movie about that. It is a very good movie, but it really doesn't matter that it's good because it's very, very important and would be well worth watching even if it were bad.
Look at the distribution of reviews  it's 'U'-shaped, which ought to be intriguing to you.
Some people will find this movie confusing and scary and uncomforting. There's a heartbreaking scene, filled with pity, in which Robin returns to reality and walks among people like that, realizing who and what they are for the first time.   No difficult narratives for them. No discomfort, no boredom, no leaving the well-beaten movie track.   //? the unanimated ‘real’ ppl?   are the unaware ones? //
Each living a perfect life, and also no life at all. The scene screams at you that there is nothing more beautiful than awareness..

Ain't Them Bodies Saints .. Terrence Malick lens flare and sunset wash 'magic-hour' quiet naturalism sunlight

Ain't Them Bodies Saints - wkp /expiring netflix 10/18/18 (one week fr today thur 10/11 ie ~ Wed last day watch) //    the [film's beauty] is not just in the incredible cinematography ... but in the way the film holds back information, blindsiding you with tiny revelations."  <<  d n read whole plot sum unless d n end up watching   


Ain't Them Bodies Saints -  #critical reception  /ah ha yes the opening scene made me think of Malick ~ espclly one th I cld not get into, actually in a field? ben affleck? french woman y! To The Wonder (was on ntflx I think) // and yes  srch page  14 hits Malick :     Critics drew extensive comparisons to the work of Terrence Malick     looks derivative, with the familiar lens flare and sunset wash. But if it is a homage, this is an intelligent and accomplished one, a conscientious matching-up of style and substance.                        is no Malick homage. far from dwelling on transcendence, as Malick does, Lowery's film has a solid, grounded storyline, rooted in crime thrillers and film noir tradition.        the comparisons to Terrence Malick are obvious and many—and a well-deserved compliment—   the setting of 1970s Texas, the impressionistic wisps of memory, the quiet naturalism of warm sunlight and the dusky magic-hour melancholy—they're all there, all those signatures that are reminiscent of the master filmmaker.       / negative:  upstart David Lowery mimics the mythic methodology of his revered elder, drowning the sparse tale of an on-the-run convict and his lonely baby's mama in lots of dreamy, magic-hour atmosphere.’  / ~ y but I may not mind

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levon_Helm#LegacyLevon Helm - Wkp / Springsteen: his voice and his drumming so incredibly personal * .. one of greatest greatest voices in ctry, rock, ... // Springsteen called Helm "one of the greatest, greatest voices in country, rockabilly and rock 'n' roll ... staggering ... while playing the drums. Both his voice and his drumming were so incredibly personal. He had a feel on the drums that comes out of certain place in the past and you can't replicate it."
George Harrison said that while writing his 1970 song "All Things Must Pass", he imagined Levon Helm singing it.


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rick_Danko#Legacy
 Rick Danko - Wkp |   * Danko w Levon Helm formed one finest rhythm sxns .. a partnership, subtle intense rhythmic conversatn //in full://
On the Irishtimes.com blogsite, Laurence Mackin wrote that Together with bass player Rick Danko, [Levon] Helm formed one of the finest rhythm sections to ever put a groove to a beat, and a partnership that formed the backbone of The Band.
In Danko, he had the perfect complementary player, one of the finest bassists and one of the gentlest souls.  His music was subtle, his instinct for just the right note unwavering – he could play one beat in four bars, but lord could he make it count.
Their subtle, intense rhythmic conversation brought shape and distinction to the Band's music – it gave it heart and soul.[30]

The Band imo certainly the best //!// white  /cool/  band this cntry ever produced //!! wow.//  az- Ain't In It For My Health: A Film About Levon Helm
-Valuable, if not so easy to watch.  It is a sobering unblinking look at illness, dying, perseverance and a man in some ways trying to come to terms with the vagaries of existence.   
At one time the Band was one of the most popular Rock & Roll groups in the country, and imo certainly the best white band this country (or Canada) ever produced.
They must have made untold millions.
[But//] Here we come upon Levon whose medical expenses have driven him to the brink of home foreclosure, and one can't help but wonder how the hell that happened?   Well it apparently is all in the song publishing rights and Robbie Robertson got most of those. Levon is justifiably bitter.
This is not how I'd choose to remember Levon Helm as a sick, suffering albeit game, septuagenarian /y. I tht th.  even nice bit ytube him singing, sad, not so m re the bitterness ok w seeing th maybe,  but just age.  part of wh so great in my clips fr The Last Waltz  is ~ youth ?  so I might want keep that foremost in mind.  maybe see just bit of this.//
As a documentary I'd have to give it high marks.

the Americans .... cmmnts notes not org



 Renee: The future is cloudy   |

 -sistermagpie: But then what's weird is it seems like this second marriage, the one he had to work through issues to get to, is far colder than the first marriage was. Stan still seems kind of befuddled to find himself talking to her when she appears in his house and even last season the whole thing seemed arranged by Renee--something broke in her place so she had to "move in" for a while (and never left), she appears at the gym and has all the same interests as Stan, etc. 

  -Erin9: I sure would like there to be some explanation on why Renee and S/R have no substance. Especially on a show where it is all about marriage.  //and cmmt re m more re his ex wife substantv real char.    sandra. 

   -Ellaria Sand: two possibilities:
1) They hired Laurie Holden, made her Stan's love interest (OK, that's fine) and gave her nothing of interest to do while creating a faux mystery around the character
 2) Hired Laurie Holden, had her pretend to fall in love with Stan while doing secret spy work that will have an impact on the end game.
Either one of these sound like terrible choices by the writers yet this is basically what we are choosing between






S06.E08: The Summit - The Americans 

 -jjj:   Renee, giggling: "Oh, do I need to memorize all the state capitols for my interview?!"
Me: "Nice try, Renee, we know you learned those in SpySchool."       


 -Anyone have a clue as to why Phillip is getting a new suit...NOW? 
 -For his funeral?


-At this point, Renee is going to be confirmed as an undercover operative for one three letter organization or another, or this is the most epic troll job by showrunners that has ever happened.



The Americans Have A New Awareness Of The Fragility Of Human Life | Previously.TV  |  
Renee checks the mail .. Stan's excited for her, and when she nervously asks what she'll be asked about, he assures her that it's the same kind of thing that would come up wherever she interviewed, plus whether she's "a loyal American, and if [she] can keep a secret."  She sure as hell seems to have nailed the latter. What! Is! Her! DEAL?!    
   ..  so then is Elizabeth's refusal to follow this order what will activate Renee to do it instead? FINALLY?????

so from this  wh was light  web-z    to more solid   - int

blackfooted cats  smallest of wild cats  cute round     wkp then to
phylogenetics   (Greek: φυλή, φῦλον – phylé, phylon = tribe, clan, race + γενετικός – genetikós = origin, source, birth)     so oh greek like friend like philosophy   or is dffr word the vowel  φιλοσοφία,   if dffr seems likely related anyway makes sense to think  friend  tribe clan  what goes together
phylo genesis  what goes together in origin, beginning,   (or to bring into english thinking  in genetics)
I do get int in this of crs wh goes tgthr  what are dffrncs   these are our  categories    inherent in any sense  maybe if truly evolutionary  (truly? do I doubt?)   bears  dogs  cats
phylogenetics    tree of life web project   http://tolweb.org/tree/
[ and just in mind to read  wkp simple  'what is' re Life ]
 and then just thinking of,
ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny
sjc lab pink cover a dividing what?  incr complexity  not just number parts but number of relations  number kind of relations  (also of crs of int to me  whole other level  position change in position speed velocity  change in velocity acceletation   (change in acceleration?    )
.. recapitulation theory
ontogeny  coming into being  
y vs onto logy study of being

 other via-line fr ontology
 E-prime  oh of int  did I know  like the kid at sjc  speak without saying   to be

The first six statements
  1. There is something to be told about us for the telling of which we all wait. In our unwilling ignorance we hurry to listen to stories of old human life, new human life, fancied human life, avid of something to while away the time of unanswered curiosity. We know we are explainable, and not explained. Many of the lesser things concerning us have been told, but the greater things have not been told; and nothing can fill their place. Whatever we learn of what is not ourselves, but ours to know, being of our universal world, will likewise leave the emptiness an emptiness. Until the missing story of ourselves is told, nothing besides told can suffice us: we shall go on quietly craving it.

* >>> looks helpful. read//
Ways to reduce memory usage on Mac (and free up your RAM). | macpaw |   
Sep 27, 2017  ( Updated: Mar 1, 2018 )


Activity monitor.  Memory pressure.  wh it all means.  ..   
If your graph is all but red and yellow, your Mac is really gasping for fresh memory.  /*??  "all BUT red & yellow"  ??  ???  <<< 
/maybe means if it is red and yellow.  both bad.  (wld guess red worse.)  mine yellow.  high memory pressure. 



Tip # 3. Clean up your Desktop

—CLEAN UP DESKTOP   *Thing is, your macOS was designed in a way that it treats every Desktop icon as a little active window. // !!!   huh!  //  I hope this d n also mean apps in dock.  no, right?   // 
The more icons, the heavier memory usage on Mac.  // mine are almost all text edit but still.  and some pics, not big files, pngs  old pics less high mb, grab screenshots.  wld just mean active windows = running the app Preview ?

////////// so, am clearing.   new folder   then will put in Documents.   or on own in dock:
* 20180505 FROM DESKTOP check for important notes reminders!  see comments re why clearing
*   clearing because mac os treats desktop items as active windows  : macpaw.com/how-to/reduce-memory-usage-on-mac
Tip # 3. Clean up your Desktop.    This tip always comes at the bottom of instructions and unfairly so as ** it is quite effective. ** The more icons, the heavier memory usage on Mac. So in order to release available memory resources, it’s recommended to keep your Desktop clean.  
 ** Thing is, your macOS was designed in a way that it treats every Desktop icon as a little active window. 
// !!  good to know!   even though ~ mine are mostly text edit. files small kb.  and I do not see text edit etc per activity monitor in high memory or cpu usage but still...  do have pics as well, not big  ~ png ..   and Grab screenshots.  


Tip # 6. Free up disk space if Mac is low on memory
The available space on your Mac’s drive translates into virtual memory. This comes to save you when you’ve run out of physical RAM. So now your computer relies on your hard drive space to keep your apps going.
The classic geek rule of thumb holds it that you should keep at least 20% of disk space fn your startup drive.
   keeps your Mac speedier.


But here’s a simpler solution to save your time — clean up your drive with CleanMyMac 3. The app is free to download. Many users recommend it as an excellent way to free up more space because it automatically searches for large & old files and shows everything you can safely delete. Interestingly, it finds about 74 GB of junk on an average computer.
// ok I guess never used this app, so maybe try.  shows wh can safely delete.   shows big files  probbbbably  iphoto.
had used various well maybe two disk cleaner programs, d n like…  





What else you can do to minimize memory usage on Mac


— Replace AdBlock (very memory-demanding) with a lighter extension
// oh... (but is it not saving fr running big busy ads?    ??   (maybe not)       <<<

—Keep fewer opened tabs in browser  /welll this is wh I want to have room *for*

Educated: A Memoir by Tara Westover

The Fact of a Body: A Murder and a Memoir by Alexandria Marzano-Lesnevich  // < look at. 
Before Alexandria Marzano-Lesnevich begins a summer job [june 2003] at a law firm in Louisiana, working on the retrial defence of death-row convicted murderer and child molester Ricky Langley  
she is staunchly anti death penalty  but when hears him speak of his crime .. 
     [he was 26 grew up in small town at time was renter in home of boy whose friend, 6yrld jeremy, came over and ricky invites in to wait then in wh ricky says was like a dream he picked jeremy up..] 
https://www.criminalelement.com/stories/2017/05/the-fact-of-a-body-new-excerpt

“The causes, in fact, are endless,” writes Marzano-Lesnevich. “The idea of proximate cause is a solution. The job of the law is to figure out the source of the story, to assign responsibility. The proximate cause is the one the law says truly matters. The one that makes the story what it is.” 
//ex train platform successive events lead to a death of someone down the platform.  legal qstn who at fault. but how is there such a qstn in a case of a man physically with intent (even if dreamlike) causing a child to stop breathing.

* Heart Berries: A Memoir by Terese Marie Mailhot  // I like wh says in article re preferring not 'resilient'  //

Dear Commentators (and Judges) - thank you for those moments when you give me a zillion other links to follow down rabbit holes! I just returned from a deep dive on Christine de Pizan & Jean de Maun among others. Always love the suggestions this community throws out for my edification!

 
This is the first day of real commentariat commentariness, isn't it? Seems like the upsets shut things down pretty quickly days 1-4.

//int bcs first day I am following ~ reading midday ~ 
but am v int to read cmmts fr past 5 matches re upsets, incl contentious?

I went with Fever Dream mostly because it was the only one that stuck the landing for me. I think the short length really helped this one, the author did not do too much. This one really lingered and left a lot of good unanswered questions.








 

Tough choice, I'd really like to see =The Night Ocean= and =A Separation= make the tournament, both were really well done books, and both have stuck with me. And maybe it is just some proximity effect, but I voted for =Fever Dream=, which I also really enjoyed. It may be a little unfair, because I think =The Night Ocean= kept surprising over a much longer length, and I felt the (sadly not on the ballot) =A Separation= was subtle and most rewarded a careful thinking about. But I did think =Fever Dream= handled itself really well, in the mixing of technological catastrophe with mystical catastrophe, in the sustained tension, and in the fever dream like quality of the writing (although I guess that's not a very direct translation of the original title).
