  1. flipping the OBS scene from “face cam” to “footage”, the increasingly tangential pop-documentary archival clip style that has replaced burns-style photo-pans-and-zoom of actual subject matter with abstract and completely unrelated stock that, at best, is period correct or ironically untrue to the nonsense I’m spouting as I go into a big monologue to staff about getting our reports done on time

  2. looking up the chicago school of economics building to make a house of leaves jokes in chat and unsurprised to find it looks like a god damned church

The 100,770 gross square foot main building was renamed the Saieh Hall for Economics in June 2014. The renovation began in Fall 2012 and encompassed repairs and upgrades to the building envelope, HVAC and electrical and voice/data systems, and bringing the building infrastructure up to all required life/safety and accessibility codes. New space was constructed below grade for mechanical rooms and a large tiered lecture hall. To connect the east and west existing buildings at the ground level, a new building entrance was constructed by vacating the alley exiting to 58th Street. Construction was completed in June 2014. from: https://facilities.uchicago.edu/construction/5757south-university/

  3. was in the mood for more Kelly Link and landed on an interview ( https://bombmagazine.org/articles/2023/12/15/kelly-link-kevin-brockmeier/ ) instead. it starts off strong talking about this fun idea of nighttime logic, daytime logic, and dream logic, then they compare book lists fitting each.

    warning: it’s pretty dangerous if you have a growing-the-to-read-pile-habbit, I picked up three of the books in their lists.

    Kevin BrockmeierIn every workshop I teach, I end up mentioning the distinction you makebetween nighttime logic, daytime logic, and dream logic. It's an idea thatalways generates much curiosity; my students view it as a source not onlyof creative clarity but of creative permission. To begin with, here's my bestattempt at articulating these different storytelling approaches: A narrativepossesses daytime logic when at the end you can say, "This happened,and then this happened, and it makes sense, and I can explain why." Withnighttime logic, you say, "This happened, and then this happened, and itmakes sense, and I can't explain why." And with dream logic, you say,"This happened, and then this happened, and it doesn't make any sense."In other words, daytime logic produces a logical, causal kind of sense,while nighttime logic produces a more mysterious, emotional kind ofsense. Dream logic produces emotion but not sense. Are there ways inwhich you would reshape this explanation for me? What have I missed?Kelly LinkI like your articulation a great deal. I might add that there's somethingabout nighttime logic that produces the sensation in the reader that we arein a space between daylight and dreaming.
