U2 - The Definitive Biography

#author.John Jobling

#notes.//
The story starts with Larry, who was looking to start a band. Then Adam came, but I got confused when they started talking about David and Paul. I was trying to read kinda fast and lots of people were being introduced. Eventually, I figured out that David played the part of the Edge and Paul played the part of Bono.

What immediate hit was how they are like every other Act that made it big. Luck. Randomness. Hard-work. Determination.

They were not really that good. Then some random event made them popular locally and they had gigs, the 10000 hours of practice that they needed, more random luck, lots of people who believed in them and worked hard to make them bigger.

SPOILER ALERT!

The corridor is also named the Way, an east.asian mysticism connection to The Way/Tao/Dao.

The story has an inner-space narrative like the Matrix, with the Way being both the Matrix Space and the Hyperspace connection to other.alternative Universes.

In several realities, there is a nuclear apocalypse.

FINISHED.2011.

I was in Germany! Probably both of us hiding in a books.Marlene

Basically, the book is a detective novel of sorts with the added twist of making copies of yourself and putting them into physical avatars: clay people -- the title, kiln people, hardening of clay to stone.

Roddy Piper as John Nada

Kindergarten Cop

#note.//
Not even sure if I watched the entire movie. I just remember the line, "it's not a toomer". This was probably around the time I was indoctrinated with many memorable quotes from my filmophilic friends.

Other quotes from that era,
"I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass. And I'm all out of bubblegum."

or as my friends said "And I'm fresh out of bubblegum"

Long life leads to compression of earliest memories, even if those memories with imagination.

The Hobbit

Groundhog Day

#note.//
One of my favorite movies. Watched it several times while living in Brentwood with Tom R.

#actor.//
Bill Murray as Phil Connors.reborned hero
Andie MacDowell as Rita Hanson.

Back to the Future

#note.//
The one distinct memory I have, is about when this movie came out. I didn't go see it with all my siblings. Instead, I went and saw Cocoon, just to be different. I watched Back to the Future later and had to admit to myself at that age (early teens) that I enjoyed and related to it better.

Still, I started to think about getting old and what it means. I learned what to do if you have one last shot at youthful vigor. Eventually, we all leave with the Aliens and live practically forever, until that civilization also scenesces. Everything has a lifecycle-- cells, organism, super-organism, and also structures those organisms make like town, city, world and communities.

Incorrect prediction: flying cars in 2015. The closest will be by the makers of Android and will be a self-driving car.

The Koreans again!

The NPR story makes a connection to this book. Hierarchical traditions like Korea's, can be deadly when apply to aviation. Luckily, it just cause some minor inconvenience here.

Grimm's Fairy Tales

#note.//

20141205.//
We.me form memories because of associative thinking. The trigger in this case is the Grimm's Fairy Tales. I.we've seen it pop up on the streams in close spacing, and it therefore triggers this post.

A new translation.push.TheGuardian shows the tales as the equivalent of today's horror stories.
- American Horror Stories.self?

Today I was caffeine.storming and wondering how to make a collaborative writing platforms that works for us.me. I found this kickstarter Project of artist wanting to visually recontextualizing this ole fairy tales.

This association turned inwards and connected to me.ego at my poem reinterpretation of a Grimm's tale. It was a poem.push.HelloPoetry.self I wrote. It retells the THE TRAVELLING MUSICIANS tale. The statue in downtown Bremen, Am Markt, has the four animals in this story. I didn't get a chance to visit Bremen.//

Just noticed that the fantastic interview with Maurice Sendak was called Grim Colberty Tales with Maurice Sendak.

American Horror Story

20141205.I've only seen the first two seasons. It was a Jaimie stream spillover.

Bones

#note.//
We started watching in Germany in German! Then we watched pirated streams in English. Then we went our separate ways, and now it's 2014 and I'm rewatching alone from the beginning!

s1:e6 - We are all so predictable. Angela predicts Booth & his girlfriend's relationship progression: Keys to each others place, weekend away, then long vacation before eventually moving in together, marriage and finally divorce.

Angela: Oh... you two are so ready for the pre-shacking up test vacation.

Booth: (mumbles) whadomean.

Angela: You have keys to each others places. You've done the weekend away a couple of times.

Yeah. It's time for the 10 day vacation.

You know, Jamaica is like a dry run for living together only with rum punch and steel drums.

Booth didn't get stage six, living together.
I made it to living together, yeah!

20141206:
I'm on s2, and realize that Cammie shows up in first episode.
The Gravedigger starts. They bring in her father. They use same themes for the TV series Chuck.

Lots of missing father and mother. Role reversal for gender.
Bones analytical, career oriented; Sealy is family-oriented, wants commitment.

>juxtapose.association=Chuck.TV.//Sarah is skilled agent, fighting; Chuck is touch and feel.

20141209:
I'm on S3. I see that they are bringing in a rotation player, extra helper since Zack leaves for Iraq. Bones is retreating back into lab. Marriage theme starts. Cannibal starts.

20151017:
s10 available online on netflix. I began watching sometime last week. Rewatched s9 first to remind myself of some of the dynamic in relationship. New characters! And sweet parting.

20151028
FINISHED.s10
They had to reintroduce some tense in the Bones/Booth relationship. Gambling habit will do that! The season finale felt like the ending of the series, but I read on TV Guide that they go renewed. There was some behind the scene dealings.
