    I noticed that I have a couple channels that I think are doing live olympic coverage. Like, I think they were showing actual events before the opening ceremony was shown on nbc proper.

    The one part that the writer has correct is that NBC tries to recut footage to create narratives.

    They always want to tell you some story to go along with the event. It's the worst thing. Totally unwatchable.

    I feel creepy when I suddenly notice that someone smells really nice.

    Like, it pops in to my head, and suddenly I have to repress it because I am usually not in a situation where saying that is acceptable.

    You can always say, "I really love that perfume/cologne/organic eau de toilette"

    yeah, really as long as you avoid "you smell real nice" you're safe.

    NBC Responds: We Removed The Opening Ceremony Memorial To Terrorism Victims Because The Tribute Wasn’t About America

    Non-NBC media outlets are manipulating facts to make NBC seem evil, and America by extension. The actual details of the opening ceremonies are kept in secret ahead of time. Media outlets get a program (the organizing committee is obligated to do this), but the descriptions are often pretty vague. This is how that particular segment was described in the official program: "the struggle between life and death using such powerful images of mortality as dust and the setting sun."

    Sol Lewitt never gets enough credit

    you talk mid-century modernism and everyone's like "oh what about Pollock"

    Pollock was a fucking expressionist drama queen, give me a fucking break

    then you've got LeWitt over there patiently showing you how logic and beauty are holding hands in a meadow


    A younger artist wrote him a letter looking for advice and he wrote back to her:

    "Dear Eva,

    It will be almost a month since you wrote to me and you have possibly forgotten your state of mind (I doubt it though). You seem the same as always, and being you, hate every minute of it. Don’t! Learn to say “Fuck You” to the world once in a while. You have every right to. Just stop thinking, worrying, looking over your shoulder wondering, doubting, fearing, hurting, hoping for some easy way out, struggling, grasping, confusing, itchin, scratching, mumbling, bumbling, grumbling, humbling, stumbling, numbling, rumbling, gambling, tumbling, scumbling, scrambling, hitching, hatching, bitching, moaning, groaning, honing, boning, horse-shitting, hair-splitting, nit-picking, piss-trickling, nose sticking, ass-gouging, eyeball-poking, finger-pointing, alleyway-sneaking, long waiting, small stepping, evil-eyeing, back-scratching, searching, perching, besmirching, grinding, grinding, grinding away at yourself. Stop it and just DO!

    From your description, and from what I know of your previous work and you [sic] ability; the work you are doing sounds very good “Drawing-clean-clear but crazy like machines, larger and bolder… real nonsense.” That sounds fine, wonderful – real nonsense. Do more. More nonsensical, more crazy, more machines, more breasts, penises, cunts, whatever – make them abound with nonsense. Try and tickle something inside you, your “weird humor.” You belong in the most secret part of you. Don’t worry about cool, make your own uncool. Make your own, your own world. If you fear, make it work for you – draw & paint your fear and anxiety. And stop worrying about big, deep things such as “to decide on a purpose and way of life, a consistant [sic] approach to even some impossible end or even an imagined end” You must practice being stupid, dumb, unthinking, empty. Then you will be able to DO!

    I have much confidence in you and even though you are tormenting yourself, the work you do is very good. Try to do some BAD work – the worst you can think of and see what happens but mainly relax and let everything go to hell – you are not responsible for the world – you are only responsible for your work – so DO IT. And don’t think that your work has to conform to any preconceived form, idea or flavor. It can be anything you want it to be. But if life would be easier for you if you stopped working – then stop. Don’t punish yourself. However, I think that it is so deeply engrained in you that it would be easier to DO!

    It seems I do understand your attitude somewhat, anyway, because I go through a similar process every so often. I have an “Agonizing Reappraisal” of my work and change everything as much as possible = and hate everything I’ve done, and try to do something entirely different and better. Maybe that kind of process is necessary to me, pushing me on and on. The feeling that I can do better than that shit I just did. Maybe you need your agony to accomplish what you do. And maybe it goads you on to do better. But it is very painful I know. It would be better if you had the confidence just to do the stuff and not even think about it. Can’t you leave the “world” and “ART” alone and also quit fondling your ego. I know that you (or anyone) can only work so much and the rest of the time you are left with your thoughts. But when you work or before your work you have to empty you [sic] mind and concentrate on what you are doing. After you do something it is done and that’s that. After a while you can see some are better than others but also you can see what direction you are going. I’m sure you know all that. You also must know that you don’t have to justify your work – not even to yourself. Well, you know I admire your work greatly and can’t understand why you are so bothered by it. But you can see the next ones and I can’t. You also must believe in your ability. I think you do. So try the most outrageous things you can – shock yourself. You have at your power the ability to do anything.

    I would like to see your work and will have to be content to wait until Aug or Sept. I have seen photos of some of Tom’s new things at Lucy’s. They are impressive – especially the ones with the more rigorous form: the simpler ones. I guess he’ll send some more later on. Let me know how the shows are going and that kind of stuff.

    My work had changed since you left and it is much better. I will be having a show May 4 -9 at the Daniels Gallery 17 E 64yh St (where Emmerich was), I wish you could be there. Much love to you both.

    Sol"


    there is so much good advice for artists in here

    Sol LeWitt and Piet Mondrian are modernism to me

    The real problem is the debate you have with yourself where you're like, I could totally say something nice to this person that isn't creepy, and then you're like, yeah, no, I really can't. Definitely gonna come out creepy as hell despite my best intentions.

    If they'd been editing over a live feed then that might make sense.

    I was told to come to this office for a meeting which I expected would be two hours tops. It’s now almost four hours. That’s okay because I can invoice the dude and I’m making way more than I thought I would today

    But

    I kind of want to eat something soon, I had a meal at noon but hrm

    Dunno what I should do

    Also I got a ride here from the bus station I guess I was kind of expecting a ride back because my boss knows I don’t have transit instructions

    Maybe I could wander downtown and find a place to eat and then?????
