Misreading of the day

I misread the BBC internet news headlines (i) "Obama reverses stem cell research ban" & (ii) "Obama's speech to Congress " as "Obama's reverse speech stems from cell research ban on cauliflowers"

Mock Turtle Soup Expedition

• About 3.15pm, I left the house and on the way somewhere talked to Mimsy about the idea of mockturtle soup, she was the one who had mentioned it and indeed I talked about the fact that hadn't tried it nor real turtle soup and she wouldn't tell me why she was so suddenly interested in mockturtle soup anyway, I didn't expect any real reason anyway, she sometimes picks up ideas that have no reason behind them and doesn't bother to explain herself much anyway

• When I got home later in the evening, I realise that at 4pm, a lady named Emily whose partner I know over the years through another friend has mentioned something about her desire to look for turtles on the Ascension Island since this is where her dear Edmund is, perhaps turtle hunting, and one hour and fifty six minutes later, a lady whose name begins with R mentions soup in response to Emily's utterance about turtles. I got home about 7.35pm to find out that the idea of turtles is a running thread throughout this day, which is entirely normal.

my humble opinion about “Dali & I”

My humble opinion on the proposed movie “Dali & I” based on the book by Stan Lauryssens which incidentally I have not read.

I took the mockup film poster featuring Al Pacino transformed into a Salvador Dali, and replaced it with Stan Lauryssen’s face as shown on a copy of his book, complete with the drawn on “Dali moustache”, and replaced his mouth with the anus of a dog that didn’t look that different anyway, and then added a hand that held a cigar but replaced that with a piece of dog excrement, adding steam that transforms into dollar signs that transform into the “I” in “Dali & I”. The only other thing that I would have done is to make the dog excrement silver because of an association I made through misreading the words “hit the silver screen”, I envisaged silver shit for the big screen .

(created as a visual response to a discussion at CollectDali discussion group at yahoogroups.com)

If and when the movie is released, I am sure that the only thing that will get me to see the movie is to see Al Pacino doing an impression of Salvador Dali, but my point of view about that starts to drift off into derelict passageways of thought about am I going to see Pacino playing Dali or am I going to see Pacino playing Dali as if Dali were pretending to be Pacino, and then the next level beyond this is the question "Am I going to see Al Pacino playing Salvador Dali playing Al Pacino playing Salvador Dali playing Al Pacino playing Salvador Dali playing Al Pacino playing Salvador Dali playing Al Pacino playing Salvador Dali playing Al Pacino playing Salvador Dali playing Al Pacino playing Salvador Dali playing Al Pacino playing Salvador Dali playing Al Pacino playing Salvador Dali playing Al Pacino playing Salvador Dali playing Al Pacino playing Salvador Dali playing.... ?

Visions about Olivier D. le F.

• Perhaps since around February 11th, I keep imagining because of the posture held in his photo and the words composed by my friend Olivier D. le F. that he is holding himself together trying to speak after having his body parts stitched back together after being ripped apart by lions, tigers, bears and apes in a zoo. And in the world of that vision he obviously has some metal scaffolding somewhere behind you propping you up and supporting his spine , limbs and skull. This is obviously a good sign of something or other.

• However Oliver D. le F. does not want the apes to be part of the vision, he doesn't mind felines but "No apes!" he declared. In response to that, I instantly perceive llamas and penguins replacing the apes, they might be even more vicious from a different perspective.

• I must add today that I perceive this metal scaffolding as being a bicycle frame, with his arms stuck onto either side of the handlebars. This could make all the difference and things may well change.

• It should be noted that in past years, every time he shared a few words in a chat room at DavidLynch.com, I would imagine that he was a shaven headed villager who's time had come to die and he was sitting in a pit of corpses with his arms and legs freshly cut off, screaming ancient prophesies at the top of his voice in a way that would bring many of the local villagers around to the edge of the pit and hear what he was saying before he bled to death and he wasn't too concerned about the fact that he was dying at all because it was all part of an ancient belief system and that would take form in today's reality small comments about this and that in day to day life such as words of appreciation for a cinema movie or a book, or his maybe an update on his own explorations with creative writing.

• (i.) Another past vision of Olivier D. le F. involved him splitting apart down the centre of the head as if he were made from clay and someone had pulled a cheesewire down through his head and this was during the time in the mid 2000s when almost no one apart from me referred to him as Jan Miki-Wan, a mythical figure named after a mispronunciation of the name of the author Ian McEwan by someone in France who had never heard his name mentioned before. (ii.) Jan Miki-Wan probably appreciated dead flies in his jam spread upon bread and butter as an unobvious choice that would have been a valid one at least.
