DANNY QUARLES, ASKING AN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE PROGRAM TO CREATE A VIDEO, BASED ON DANNY'S RANDOM WORDS ........THIS IS THE STATE OF COMPUTER-ANIMATION!

in the foreground, a man in a stiff black satin
nehru jacket with oriental knotted white silk
cord clasps, who is wearing a complicated
and culturally ambiguous folded silk head
adornment, is reading from some loose leaves
of parchment to an elaborate and mysterious
zoomorphicomechanical neo-ornamental audience,
who appears to be poised or balanced, in part,
on the raised extant ring of an ancient fountain,
or some other pool-like structure.
in the background, and off to the man's right,
a pair of austro-hungarian hunting sheriffs
seemingly listen reverently with bowed heads, but
one of them clandestinely refills his pipe, while the other
gazes furtively across the ruined fountain at another
small group of individuals, vaguely tibetan, one of which
seems to be looking back at him. the group consists
of two males, both in all grey pressed jerkins with
royal blue formal long sleeved undershirts.
the two women seem to be wearing all white
traditional, and possibly religious, robes,
with the addition of scarves, all white, or
maybe yokes is a better term, and loosely
fitting cummerbunds or wide wrappings around
the midsection. Both the men and the women
evince a curious shock of white hair on
the right side of their heads.
In the distance, further into the background,
lies a small cave from which a rich cobalt
blue tongue, possibly mineral is seen to be
issuing and reaching the ground. the entire area
appears to be steppe country, dry, with scrubby
sage-like plants, some low grasses, and a few
dwarf cedar-like trees growing in the shadow
of a low escarpment or upbreaking of the crust..
Nevertheless, these AI programs are, increasingly,
doing 'their own thing'......It will not be long before
AI has no need for 'human input', since it will have
already absorbed, processed and stored...for its own
utilization......all that mortal humans have created.....

 Listening to a NPR program, in which a man was telling a story about a tree that grew in his yard, years ago....When the tree 'got too large', his landlord....concerned about the tree's roots destabilizing the house's foundation....had the tree cut down to its stump......the 'tenant' found a seedling, emerging from the now defunct tree, and planted it.......after the tree was 30 feet tall, again, there were 'issues' and the tree had to be cut down..... This time, the 'tenant' took one of the the fallen tree's segments, left on the ground after the arborists departed to cut down some more trees, to a woodcrafter who made the wood into a beautiful box, which, now....in itself....not only stored some memorabilia, but was, itself, a nostalgic Memory......Much of the 'clutter' in my home shares its status as Memory triggers.......like a cracked ceramic 'thing' that was: first, a candle stand from a restaurant where I was a young waiter....Sidney's 2nd Act....; then, it evolved into a stand for a pierced pottery oil lamp; then, a base for a Tibetan orb incense cone burner; a ravioli 'cutter', and, eventually into a top for opened cat food cans, since it was a perfect fit......Does this make me a 'hoarder' or a 'repurposer'? Well, I'm not about to toss it to the trashcan! My great Aunt, Lucille used to press the flowers from bouquets and 'arrangements' within the cotton-fiber pages of old books, then frame her 'arrangements' of dessicated flora and make cards to send her friends and family......in this tradition, this morning,,,,I spray-painted some dead leaves and squash with enamel paint that their beauty may persevere....rather than be dumped to the trash can and be crushed in the garbage collector's big truck...I was just wondering....if Sandy Culp still had one of those beautiful 'painted black' Halloween pumpkins from Six Flags, dissicated beneath glossy enamel paint.....

"WATCH THOSE HANDS, KEVIN!"





Kevin Spacey's been 'off the pages and screens' for a while, although he is a great actor......I noticed, in the tabloid news, that he's going to face yet another jab from Guy Pierce, who played a drag queen in Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, over 30 years ago......Just let him swap one of his Academy Awards for this 'Crotch Grabber' award with it's 'optional' silicon Anthony Rapp (wasn't he a 'RENT' boy, already?) buttocks feature, and save the 'court system' some $$$...... Or just have him submit to a blow job from Melania Trump, then parole him to Boy's Town for work at 'hard-wood' labor......How about a Presidential Pardon, presented at Steel City Con....while DJT's there, collecting some 'reading material'........yet, Harvey Fierstein was not charged......except for a latte and a platter of fried donut holes.....I think 'we' should just let Matthew Broderick make a summary judgement in the Spacey Trial......and send Tony Rapp off to Madonna's for some 'switching'.......

JUST FOLLOW THE 'EASY-TO-READ' INSTRUCTIONS........THEY'RE PRINTED IN 'CLEAR ENGLISH', AREN'T THEY??

This morning, I attempted..with the assistance of a 3 page printed instructional pamphlet.....a bit shocked to find that it was 'written and printed' in The USA..... to disassemble a portable, battery-operated 'hand vac' that had begun to produce more rattling noise than suction, due to a 'design or manufacturing flaw' ........This, again, confirmed my opinion that imbecilic texting & twittering, messaging and spotifying has reached its unintentional (?) goal of Americans, having relinquished any capacity for clear expression, utilizing descriptive language and/or the ability to comprehend complexity...I wrote a "Dexterity Intelligence Quotient", during my first 'job'...sadly, with the "Redstone Arsenal Army Missile Command".....(a 'Summer Job'....hey, I was 20!~and this paid more than a job bagging groceries), between college semesters)..where, for a while, I wrote Instruction Manuals to facilitate Privates' ability to comprehend "written instructions"....The results of this Experiment led to the anticipation of future days, when 'Instructional Videos' would be widely available...'Monkey See/Monkey Do'.......Get a piece of rope and try it, yourself, being careful not to hang yourself with it.........
Can you tie a simple trucker's knot? Here's how: secure one end of a rope to your first tie-down point, then make a quick-release loop between it and your second tie-down point. Now, thread the loose end of the rope through the second tie-down point, then back through the loop you just made, and pull to tighten..... Once you've got the line as tight as you like, clamp down on the loop with your thumb and forefinger, then finish the knot by wrapping a section of loose line around the taut line and pulling it through..........if you wish to really lock off the end, simply wrap the new loose loop you created around the taut line and pull it through......however, you may prefer not to do this if you might prefer, at some time in the future, to undo the knot by simply tugging on the loose tail of line to unravel the whole package........ now, you try it! I had a summer job between my freshman and sophomore years of college.....writing manuals wherein I attempted to write instructions for the management of mechanical seats in aircraft or to describe relatively simple processes that were difficult to relay with words...........try to read some of the instruction manuals ...written in Korean or Chinese....then translated into English........

MY MOTHER'S ....'POWDER PUFF WAND'

 

THE WHITE CAP CAN BE REMOVED TO REVEAL A COMPARTMENT INTO WHICH SCENTED TALCUM POWDER CAN BE STORED.......UPON SHAKING THE WAND, THE POWDER IS FED THROUGH TINY HOLES ON THE 'PUFF' SIDE INTO THE LARGE, PINK 'POWDER PUFF'...AFTER A BATH.....TO SMOOTH AND SOOTH THE BATHER'S SKIN, AS WELL AS REDUCE UNSIGHTLY, 'SHINY' SKIN TO A MATTE FINISH......

THE BEJEWELLED "I'LL BE A MONKEY'S UNCLE" RING.....A DISTANT "ANCESTRAL MEMORIAL RING"


 'green-eyed with envy' as some of its offspring walk, without touching the ground with their front fingers......
