The snow machine

Dedicated to [...] :)

It's not what you see in most cases, it is the way you see it. Don’t go for the worst case scenario. Damn, I bet you’re reading this & wondering what I maybe on about. That’s better, pull over right here. Nobody knows what exactly the word secret means; I guess it’s like a secret. I’ll try to fix the microwave but you better start learning how to cook. Oxford is where I live. I still love you baby even though I’m proper mad at you. Who were those people? Excuse me, I’m in the middle of something, I’ll call you back tomorrow if that’s okay! I didn’t need a snow machine, I asked for a caddy fucking Eldorado 75 in black or navy. You ready baby? Get downstairs. We’re running late.

Kamelia goes on the wall :)

Kamelia I Exit

The exit, so diminutive...signaling, teasing - only to disappoint, it's lack of height persistent as I near.
Is there any escape? Is the exit there? Am I even trapped? Or is it all in my head?
Have I placed myself here?
Have I created the exit so small to avoid the responsibility of accepting or rejecting it?
The question is not if, but when.
When I stop holding my breath and exit, can I close the door?

Good Will Hunting, Silent Hill & The Driver series

Last night after not a long but compulsory mid-session interval, I sat & watched the rest of Good Will Hunting, from the beginning of scene #8 that I had paused on till the very ending of credits where the screen goes black. I gotta say it was fucking brilliant. Five star shit. Round about scenes 20, 21 it was that I started saying "please end this good, I don't wanna see some fucking sad tearjerking ending for this one" & I kept hoping on that & to be honest with ya it very rarely happens for me to wish that the movie I'm watching ends the way I want it. Anyhow everything in this movie was in the right place. Superbly photographed scenes, wisely written dialogues, fascinating performances by all the actors and anything else that you'd expect from a top movie. Back to its ending, not only the script meets my expectations & makes my wish come true, it also does set up an amazingly smart & quite funny ending for the movie that made me put my hands together though I was watching it on my own. Highly recommended.

***

Also silent Hill one of my all time favourite computer games and without a doubt one of the greatest horror games ever has now turned into a movie & will be in theaters this coming spring, I watched the trailer, also glanced at its website, they seem to have stayed very loyal to the original videogame, there is one massive difference though; this time is Sharon's mother Rose who searches for her in the haunted & deserted town of Silent Hill and not her dad.

***

Also another fav computer games of mine, the Driver series is back featuring an all new character, unique & gritty dual era storyline set in 1970's & present day New York & its trademark car chase driving action. For about 2 years now I haven't had enough time & money to play my fav games; Manhunt & The Warriors are among those. Maybe this summer I'll have more money & time. Fingers crossed.

Till my next enrty ciao! :)

Absurdism & I

It says:

I'm the king.
This is my kingdom.
I live by myself.
Where are my people?

I’m often inspired to do something artistic & innovative. Apparently there is an artist living inside me who -when I am in a creative frame of mind- begs for a chance to come out & so when I let him out I end up doing some creative writing on a short story or drawings of mine (as you might have already seen in my txt + Work series), designing a web page, shooting photos, playing instruments & so on because I guess we all kind of need to express ourselves. Right now as I was just telling Bahar, I feel like I’m doing it in unusual ways specifically the way I write in here or the way my drawings are like. I think to some people they may sound a bit too absurd sometimes & I have no idea whether this can be a good thing or a bad thing? I know an artist should never stay the same. So this can only be a period of time. I hope it is because this has already got me worried. I don't know where this absurdism's gonna lead me to?!

Mr Pistachio / txt + work

The first & the last time I saw Mr Pistachio was back in 2004 when I was working as UniS art gallery curator. He walked in with 3 big black bodyguards & spent almost 2 hours looking at the paintings of a local artist Jenny Norman. He then anonymously bought 1 of them & left the gallery. This is how he quite looked like with his head covered like pistachio & I still do remember that palm tree looking print on his awkward dress.
