Haven’t been able to write. Too busy filling in the application to start the next layer of academic cake. The process of proving artistic worth (“provide evidence of action painting – include section of canvas torn by police officer”) is disheartening.
I can understand that they need some kind of proof (“photograph of audience disapproval – must portray at least one chair being thrown”) but as I write down the things I have done (“at least four used earplugs from performances in the year preceding the application”) they become grey and lifeless. Pin the butterfly to the card.
Vincent won’t talk to me. The Junior Science League have fallen silent. That is, the automatic writing that usually writes those updates is disapproving of this sensible. The only joke I could think of this week was a crossword for Twitter –
1 Across: What are you doing right now? (140)
It seemed good at about 3am.
Rather than whining it seems better to focus the mind on the important things, meaning the random noise from which reality extrudes. Hearing that youtube now receives 20 hours of uploaded video every minute was a starting point that led to a video of the owl on the US dollar.
There is a small owl just to the left of the “1″ which appears on the upper right hand corner of the Dollar Bill. From time to time politicians like Bill Clinton and George W. Bush Jr. have been caught with a camera flashing the horned owl symbol with their hands.
So says http://www.theforbiddenknowledge.com/greatseal/index.htm which doesn’t seem forbidden knowledge to me as it’s on the Internut but quibble not – these presidents are flipping THE BIRD and not just any bird. As many people have noted the owl looks equally like a spider. Or Marty Feldman.
If you fold the owl you get Chris Marshall’s Organ Warehouse.

If you fold Chris Marshall you get The Photoshop Cat 
If you fold the cat you get this. No I don’t know either.
If you fold that MAD MAGAZINE STYLE and hold it upside down you get 4096 sequenced facial expressions. Which was twelve years ago! Some people I know are younger than that man’s face!
When he folds his face for the 4095th time you get John Foxxes holiday snaps!
When you notice something odd about picture 25 and fold that you get
which you really don’t want to look at so you quickly fold it to get
phew!
