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)  




on phone took screenshot comment  after Prince's death "how do you not mourn when that light goes out?"

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..
