No Talking Tuesday # 16


The List:

Hot tea
Broiled mackerel
Miso soup
edamame


1 small orange juice please



That yours?


Who is this?

If I’m reading it right, this is a
extremely good film digitizing
company

Eight

But at other sites it would cost
900$ for a high rez

How dare you

I have to ship I think

250feet per reel

I don’t know what’s going on
there

With your new cannon camera?

Yea that’s in that box set I have

I don’t think so

My music transfer folder is
getting out of control, its become
the nexus of musical journeymen

So you get the files themselves

Is it at some streaming bit rate?

Wait so what do you mean by
having to only get songs that the
person is listening to or
something

So what did off the wall mean?

That’s the future
Is now

That’s rad, but it’s only the
people who are on your network
right?

Nice
So you have to do that for each
separate song right

But then how do you get it to
your home pc?

The power of the internets

My god…

Step softly into that dark night

I don’t have internet at home so
I cant unlock the torrent power

I just have friends i.m me things
that they downloaded

Probably movies
Probably things that weren’t out
yet

I have to read the fine print, I bet
its not what it seems

I have a very unusual and
specific thing I want, so I have
to hash it out with diff. labs


Going to be a pain

I want one, but medium format
is pricy. Yashica one twenty four
G

Rolloflex is the high end?

What about hassleblad?

They all use the same Polaroid
back thing?

So the first two cameras you
said are different size film…?

Ah.

So the mamiya thing is good
though?

Yea I think so.

Why sell?

So your going to get another dig.
Slr?

Is it expensive?

Does it have a fancy lens or
something?

Enough of this digital black
magic
Back to medium format thing

Which kinds support Polaroid
thingee

Mamiya
Pentax
Hassleblad

Is twin lens thingee just when
there are two lens’s that you can
rotate into position?

So the other ones you’re stuck
with whatever lens is in body

But is that lens optimized to be
amazingly good with that
camera?

So lets say I want a medium format camera
with a semi telephoto good lens
and Polaroid back,
what’s that going to cost me?

That’s not bad

Rb67

I want the 35mm equivalent of a
150-200 mm lens

Why?

So

No zoom!

Why does it say 100-200

Samurai spirit!

You have plastic on your
camera?

Are the newer ones more
plastic?
Like lens’s?


Nice

That lens attached to body?

1050mm lens!?

I want the equivalent of a 150-
200mm

That’s how I roll

I don’t want to be able to smell
the model

This whole package is only 350
though, that’s not bad

Bah

Ill leave you to your devil magic

I choose the latter

Don’t bother with the digital back

Keep it real

Hey if you want to be real
serious about scanning negs

You need to use a drum scanner
right?

I can scan at 65000 right now

Yours truly,
I scan at 48000 every night

It promotes unity

I want to go to a lab or
something that I can just take the
port negs I have (30 or so) and
get those pro scanned.

But they’ll probably charge me for
the whole neg sheet or some
such nonsense?

I heard its good as well

But I thought it was for game
cube?


I heard that was good as well

I wait I have it

I bought it a few weeks ago
Haven’t played it yet

I think maybe xbox

Are all the od world games
Connected?

No Talking Tuesdays # 15

This no.T.tues. was especially dramatic and slightly ironic,
as the very moment I was supposed to shout “Happy new year!”
was the exact moment I had to stop talking.

I went to a party at my friends house for new years
and made a “shake your ass comp. of music”
to encourage ass shaking.

It had Michael Jackson (pre-alien), Eurythmics, Daft Punk,
Chemical bros. and a host of others.
and the song that played first after the stroke of midnight new years eve was
‘The Beatles - I Saw Her Standing There’.

I took great pride that the first song a room of forty or so people
heard this year was a Beatles song.
And of course, asses commenced to shake (how could they resist?)
and my friend asked me who the band was,
which also means the first thing I wrote in the new year,
(and in my first no talking Tuesday of ’08)
was “The Beatles”.

As auspicious a start for the new year as I could hope…


The List:

Beatles

Imagine if we got a girl pregnant
after high school, we could have
a seven year old child by now

Thus begins the new chapter in our
lives where our friends marry

Just Tuesdays

Long complicated explanation

Microsoft office

Chicken flauta please

They gave us burritos
instead of chicken flautas

Did I leave my sexy pen here?
also my response to your question
is 80% likelihood of yes

Can I use your internets

Install mozilla also

I’m going to go home and check
for my pen, i'll be right back

No Talking Tuesday # 14

Last one of the year.


The List:

Grapefruit I think

One Shirley temple please

Ali

Guitar hero

She is holding her own ------

What is it?

Elegant glass for beer

They may be talking about periods

That juke box is a sham

Late. But not bad

I want more

You should

Over shrimp empanadas

Carlito’s?
Arlington?

Follow your heart

I like the alliteration

It sort of rhymes

I’m getting off on music selection

I’m going back for a sec. round
during Joy Division

Joy Division always = win

We should see the movie before you leave

If I have internet tonight

Set #2 is mellow

You still have your record player?

I’m thinking of getting one
Thoughts?

I’m an old fuddy duddy

Also I just got a record when
I received the new Radiohead album

I guess a bit of both

I’m trying to phase out digital versions
of things (i.e. Photography– large format, writing – typewriter, etc.)

Brings pleasure to my life

What records do you have?

They got to my set immediately

Beatles, mazzy star, ?

You want to sell me your record player?

Where should I go to get one?

Ideally I want one with no plastic

A girl recently accused me of being
“One of those Wes Anderson losers.”

I had to take stalk

Well she went on to explain what she meant
And described the specific Wes Anderson
Brand of emo-ness

More or less

I want to engage in secret communiqué

But cant due to the publicity of this format

Did you make your knitted gabs?

Tell me something juicy

Really

Whatever you tell me, has to be
uncensored, so choose something
you don’t have to censer

Verily

Take your time to form it

I don’t understand the “during” stipulation

That’s a good thing

I agreed to no such terms

I can see that

I can’t

I haven’t serviced myself for eight weeks

Explanation is very subtle and convoluted

This isn’t the format for this, but Brad
has heard the explanation and may be
able to give you a butchered version of it.

No that’s an unfortunate by product
I’m currently suffering through

Medically?

Well its painful… but not bad

Literally

No I can, I choose not to

I can explain tomorrow

One water please

A mixture of reasons…
Ultimately I get far more out of
it then it taxes from me

This is my 14th week

Do you know the expression
“The cut of your jib”?

I don’t know the meaning/origin, but:
I like the cut of your jib.

Sure in a little bit

No Talking Tuesday # 13

Well this Tuesday finds me making more mistakes.
Sadly I seem to be getting stupider with each passing Tuesday,
I trend I hope reverses soon…

Anyway, my mistake this time occurred while I was eating lunch in a Thai restaurant.
I was knee deep in Tropic of Cancer, about to finish the last remaining pages,
when the women sitting to my right pointed towards my nearly finished plate of food,
and commented “That looks good…”

Apparently it was the first time one of them had been to a Thai restaurant
and was looking for something user friendly to help her cross the threshold.
Myself being half conscious,
still submerged in artistic reveries of depraved Frenchmen,
and the derelict/sensual surrounding they live in,
I motioned to my plate and said “Pad see ew”, “Pad see ew is pretty safe”.

Of course I immediately realized my mistake and felt awful.

The List:

I didn’t get fried rice
or 2 T/C
just the pad see ew

May I have a small hot milk
with hazelnut

No Talking Tuesday # 12

This Tuesday was a tragedy of epic proportions.

First I was un-characteristically involved in a number of late night phone conversations,
before I knew it, I looked up mid sentence
and saw that it was 12: 26 am Tuesday morning.
I gasped, made a obscene laden exclamation or two
and quickly blurted to the person on the phone “It’s Tuesday! I have to hang up!”

No the reason this is a epic failure is not because I accidentally talked on Tuesday
as I have done that before,
rather what makes it tragic is that this is the first Tuesday I spoke on purpose.
Granted I was panicked and alarmed,
but that fact remains that I knew it was no talking Tuesday
yet chose to speak that last sentence by way of explanation.


The list:


May I have an envelope?

#9 please

Just normal shorter




I got it to work

Sigur Rós

Múm

This comp is
made for this
time

I don’t believe in radio

into my ear and
laying eggs in brain

Baptismal
Horatio gazpacho
Benevolent dictator
Tractor fun factor

Yes

I cant think of anything
appealing, maybe the Victorian one?

I’m pained

No Talking Tuesday #11


Do I count the things I write on my pad to communicate with someone,
that I end up not showing them?
A couple times what I wrote became moot,
because it was anticipated and addressed before I showed my words.
So they went unseen by the other person.
I considered editing those words out of the list.
But I figured the same way some words aren’t heard, or misunderstood, or mumbled etc. in verbal conversation still count on some level,
so should my un-shown be counted in the list.



The List:


Paddy-G – super sub
+ 1 chips please
+ 1 water

The other guys diss?

French man?

Mouthwash is the tool
of the devil

I think it messes up the
p.h balance of your mouth

Play?

What did you ask you
to be in?

Why?

Grey suites are cheaper
than black suites?

I think the spreadsheet
of sales is given to artists
at end of week?

There playing no country for
old men at the theatre
right near work --> 7:20 + 10:00

Texture + temperature

Give me some advice on
pleasing a woman

Follow your heart

Dig deep, hit hard

You want to please her

You yourself want her please

You want her to feel pleasure

A woman

Think about it, then answer
from the heart

Provide an example of
this validation

Non hypothetical
Real example

That brought about
Significant pleasure

Not so much a general
improvement in quality of life

Something you said or did that
had immediate pleasure
ramifications


As long as he could do
the dry stuff
also, which he can

Andrew Jones

Metroid

The dub is good

Its good, I don’t

One ticket for
“no country” please

No Talking Tuesday #10


The big ten has come and gone,
and I must say I have really gotten this thing on lock down,
ill write up my overall impressions from no talking Tuesdays, and what I’ve learned soon.



The List:

Yea


I think I still have some cards un printed on that I can then print on by Friday

I guess, I mean its just an option, they don’t have to do the cards

Well I think simple character type pieces work via card, because of the size, yea but like an environment or something just wouldn’t look very good at that size


I think so,
But again whatever the artists wants I guess

Why do you have to tell Sam any specifics, I mean all the info as far as price and size etc. can just be next to the artwork, does that really matter, well if you sell one card for 2 dollars or something, people will be will more likely

I guess

If someone wants to buy something, there is no complication
?
I don’t see why anything would be confusing, you put up the artwork and have the price next to it, it someone wants it they just pay that price,

Well the whole point and convenience of the cards is they come in that size already, so you just print the character or whatever on them and your done, you don’t need to cut them out

The cards themselves are 4x6
Or 5x7

No
No folding
You buy cards and print on them

I would print at home
I would buy the cards then print on them

Yea
I don’t know, I guess
I mean it’s not complicated
If you can print 8 by 11 then it’s the same
No
I print at home
I don’t know if staples prints at all
Ok

?
This is so not confusing at all


I guess
Why does a spreadsheet need to be involved?

Why all this beauacracy?

Ok

I’ll bring in examples tomorrow hopefully and can talk about them


Raised prices?

What I can do also maybe, is if I find good cards to buy tomorrow, I can buy them for everyone

I’m just saying for all the cards to be the same, for unity sake

Gotcha




What’s the
Juice situation here?

All this stuff looks really good

You ladies handle everything
+ 1 fresh lime soda for me

Stimulating

3D-scans of Mayan ruins
And concept art/pre-viz

Visual development

Not at first
But now they respect it

Just your mother and you?

It’s good but it sort
Of incites a gag reflex

Are you Indonesian or something?

Chicken or pork?

I meant eggs, not bone

It will just mean she
Will reach menopause
10 months earlier.
Not bad for 100,000$

We could get desert?

What’s w/ the Dutch?

I can, and have money
Sitting in the bank without
Purpose

20 shares is how much

Over ten grand

So sell at 60?

What do you mean homework?

Friend?
