12.22.07New Oro Platiado Screenshots
2007, Video (0)Well, if there’s ever been a project I’ve done that spiraled vastly out of control it’s been Oro Platiado. Three months and 1 day of setup, 4 shooting days, and 2 days of pickups later, principle shooting is done. But there’s about 10 pages of “optional” material still left to shoot.
I just don’t know if I have the energy to put any more time or effort into this when I don’t even know if it’s gonna cut together right. The screens are looking good, but good visuals don’t make for a compelling movie.
I’m tired. I want to work on something that doesn’t feel like the big inside joke that Oro Platiado is.

Transgressing the Boundaries: Toward a Transformative Hermeneutics of Quantum Gravity
"For some years I've been troubled by an apparent decline in the standards of intellectual rigor in certain precincts of the American academic humanities. But I'm a mere physicist: if I find myself unable to make head or tail of jouissance and différance, perhaps that just reflects my own inadequacy.
So, to test the prevailing intellectual standards, I decided to try a modest (though admittedly uncontrolled) experiment: Would a leading North American journal of cultural studies -- whose editorial collective includes such luminaries as Fredric Jameson and Andrew Ross -- publish an article liberally salted with nonsense if (a) it sounded good and (b) it flattered the editors' ideological preconceptions?
The answer, unfortunately, is yes. Interested readers can find my article, ``Transgressing the Boundaries: Toward a Transformative Hermeneutics of Quantum Gravity,'' in the Spring/Summer 1996 issue of Social Text. It appears in a special number of the magazine devoted to the ``Science Wars.''
What's going on here? Could the editors really not have realized that my article was written as a parody?

The Cross is in the Ballpark
The Obvious Child
by Paul Simon
"I'm accustomed to a smooth ride
Or maybe I'm a dog who's lost its bite
I don't expect to be treated like a fool no more
I don't expect to sleep through the night
Some people say a lie's a lie's a lie
But I say why
Why deny the obvious child?
Why deny the obvious child?
And in remembering a road sign
I am remembering a girl when I was young
And we said, 'These songs are true
These days are ours
These tears are free
And hey...
The cross is in the ballpark
The cross is in the ballpark'
We had a lot of fun
We had a lot of money
We had a little son and we thought we'd call him Sonny
Sonny gets married and moves away
Sonny has a baby and bills to pay
Sonny gets sunnier
Day by day by day by day
I've been waking up at sunrise
I've been following the light across my room
I watch the night receive the room of my day
Some people say the sky is just the sky
But I say
Why deny the obvious child?
Why deny the obvious child?
Sonny sits by his window and thinks to himself
How it's strange that some rooms are like cages
Sonny's yearbook from high school
Is down from the shelf
And he idly thumbs through the pages
Some have died
Some have fled from themselves
Or struggled from here to get there
Sonny wanders beyond his interior walls
Runs his hand through his thinning brown hair
Well I'm accustomed to a smoother ride
Maybe I'm a dog that's lost his bite
I don't expect to be treated like a fool no more
I don't expect to sleep the night
Some people say a lie is just a lie
But I say the cross is in the ballpark
Why deny the obvious child?"
