Looking at an elephant, I think, "Wow, let's drain its blood and use it to paint my boathouse".

In other news I'm really starting to develop a deep thing for Frank Zappa. Also cpt. beefheart. And his magic bacnd too. Hmm, what a juxtaposition of loyalties.

A funny think happened on the way here - a steamroller ran over my head.

I understand that this is a comic, a work of fiction, whatever. But I am concerned by the lack of accuracy all the same - the whole film turns what is history into a rizzable myth. I don't understand the need to change what is already a great story into a pile of dingo's kidneys. Foremost are the aforementioned portrayal of the people of the time, which in a way is forgivable in that the Persians are portrayed in a manner that is completely laughable, but the selective (mis)representation of the Spartans and other Hellenes is distressingly dogmatic. For example the idea that the march is opposed by the ephors of Sparta (which are portrayed, oddly enough, as infirm almost leprous old men) is wrong but draws convenient parallels to modern times - starting a campaign for a greater good against opposition from ruling peers seems to be strongly related to a certain misguided campaign today. The portrayal of combat, the equipment and nature of the Spartans, and just the glaring (and obnoxious) misrepresentation of the other Hellenes' abilities in combat, the fact that there were 4000 Hellenes overall with the company of the Spartan squires, and that the last stand was made by 1000, that is 300 Spartans and 700 thespian volunteers. All these inaccuracies, and perhaps I might go so far as to say lies, worry me and are just a distressing symptom of a culture of growing ignorance - as long as someone gets chopped up nothing else really matters.

Life is generally good, but hideously busy. So although it is christmas, I don't think I'll actually be able to sort through and submit much stuff. Also, getting used to new (up to date - gasp!) software. I'm thinking of maybe patching up and submitting some essays I've written, 'cause I find them interesting, anyway...

Bite my radius...

In other news, Hythe was a success and life is generally just dandy. Thankyou Kate. ]]> ~DevanTart http://DevanTart.deviantart.com/journal/9658380/ http://DevanTart.deviantart.com/journal/9658380/ Wed, 09 Aug 2006 02:37:29 PDT
Now this whole new layouty thing is working, it's not so bad. I'm getting used to it, and it's not so bad... please forgive me dA. Haha. Oooh, going to the beach tommorrow with ~fetch-a-spade to photomagraph stuff. Should either be great or a complete disaster - the weather hangs in the balance. I have a sneaking suspicion the light is gonna be crappy crappy.

Update: I have a job ]]> ~DevanTart http://DevanTart.deviantart.com/journal/9649804/ http://DevanTart.deviantart.com/journal/9649804/ Tue, 08 Aug 2006 14:37:46 PDT
It just doesn't work, and makes everything such hard work. It's taken me over an hour to post 5 photos. I just haven't got the energy to do any more.

On a more positive note, I hope people like these new things. Spectactular (suprising) light in London today. And I got up at five to take those dawn photos. You better freakin' like them.

Also: Crap.. job interview tommorrow, and I've forgotten how to be a lifeguard. Oops. ]]> ~DevanTart http://DevanTart.deviantart.com/journal/9617945/ http://DevanTart.deviantart.com/journal/9617945/ Sun, 06 Aug 2006 13:42:13 PDT
I want more formatting.

Hooray, it would appear that some people actually like my latest stuff, which makes me as happy as Grandmaster Flash when he has some of his 'white lines'. Hmm, young people today. To be satisfied by simple monchromatic smears. This is most amusing. Bass.. or.. freeze. I dunno. Someone seems to be saying freeze and rock a lot. With the odd blow. And progessive suspensions. I should drink less.

Also regained ability to take photos

This is format for format's sake, I think. ]]> ~DevanTart http://DevanTart.deviantart.com/journal/9593944/ http://DevanTart.deviantart.com/journal/9593944/ Fri, 04 Aug 2006 03:05:52 PDT
Hooray for free sub. However, why is something I'll never find out. Also, got a letter in the post inviting me to guest for the county youth orchestra which is just pant wettingly scary. Help me. SHit shit shit shit shit shit shit shit. Also - I can't take any good photos at all at the moment.

Oho. Footer, eh? Well: word of the day is 'fook'. ]]> ~DevanTart http://DevanTart.deviantart.com/journal/9572647/ http://DevanTart.deviantart.com/journal/9572647/ Wed, 02 Aug 2006 02:18:39 PDT
I'm buggering off to London for the day. I'm also taking a (gasp) really real camera, and seeing what happens. It may be a complete disaster, but I don't know, as this is my first time using it, it seems probable that something horrible will happen. Hmm, I'm challenging this quote 'Degenerative digital age' unquote (ta pater) that has actually been quite happy and comfortable until now. Oh well. Will report.

Hang on a minute - who actually cares? Hmm.

We've developed a dustbin that can take a man over the niagara falls, but we'll have to keep it quite dark or the russkies'll put a man in orbit, in an interstellar dustbin. ]]> ~DevanTart http://DevanTart.deviantart.com/journal/9564148/ http://DevanTart.deviantart.com/journal/9564148/ Tue, 01 Aug 2006 10:26:07 PDT ~DevanTart http://DevanTart.deviantart.com/journal/9515678/ http://DevanTart.deviantart.com/journal/9515678/ Fri, 28 Jul 2006 04:52:41 PDT
