Riddle Sideways: there is snow on the mountains here
Riddle Sideways: Hi Adams
Eliza Madrigal: snow in AZ, surprising
Adams Rubble: Good morning everyone :)
Bleu Oleander: yes!
Adams Rubblelooks around for Eden
Riddle Sideways: Prescott got snow every year, but not usually down in your low lands
Eliza Madrigal: she may be hungover, hehe... we were twittering and watching the Oscars and drinking red wine last night
Riddle Sideways: together?
Bleu Oleander: :)
Eliza Madrigal: sort of, as twitter goes

The latecomer and a weird exercise

Riddle Sideways: saw only the end, last 3
Bleu Oleander: hi Eden :)
Adams Rubble: Good Morning Eden :)
Eliza Madrigal: Morning Eden :) Love your outfit today
Riddle Sideways: Welcome back Eden
Eliza Madrigal: Last one some controversy... a friend described it as cutting edge for 1986 :)
Riddle Sideways: well did read last week's that computer would not start for
Eden Haiku: Good morning. Adams., Bleu, Riddle and Eliza. Sorry I'm late :)
Bleu Oleander: too complex to see Eden
Riddle Sideways: not seen that movie yet, but seemed that the others were sooo good
Bleu Oleander: I liked Roma a lot!
Riddle Sideways: yes!!!
Eden Haiku: Ah! You also watched the Oscars...
Eliza Madrigal: so did I... that's what I expected to win
Bleu Oleander: and the Favorite too
Bleu Oleander: but haven't seen the winner
Eliza Madrigal: haven't seen The Favourite yet
Bleu Oleander: did you see the Lobster? same director who did the Favorite
Eden Haiku: Loved Roma but I'm sad Black Panther didn't win.
Eliza Madrigal: Ohh, no I haven't seen the Lobster either
Eden Haiku: Saw the Lobster a while ago. Didn't like it much it. Haven't seen The Favorite yet.
Riddle Sideways: Black Panther won a lot of littler awards
Eliza Madrigal: Was soo happy the little dumpling short animation film won :)
Eden Haiku: Neither Green Book.
Riddle Sideways: should have movie nights here
Bleu Oleander: I liked the Lobster ... it was definitely a strange one tho ... probably says something about me LOL
Eliza Madrigal grins
Riddle Sideways: in theather
Eden Haiku: A Cine Club at PAB, good idea Riddle :)
Bleu Oleander: didn't we try that once?
Eliza Madrigal: There was a Mise En Scene Kira group
Riddle Sideways: another virtual world had movie nights in a Drive-in
Bleu Oleander: I think Storm built a theater, no? perhaps dreaming :)
Eliza Madrigal: Molecule used for video a few times, but I don't think for a whole film? Maybe I missed it
Riddle Sideways: the Molecule had a theater
Bleu Oleander: ah yes that was it
Eliza Madrigal: very cozy :)
Bleu Oleander: I remember showing my video there
Eliza Madrigal: YES
Riddle Sideways: yes
Eliza Madrigal: that's what I'm thinking of
Eliza Madrigal: I didthis weird exercise a few weeks ago, where you are given (imaginatively) ridiculous amounts of money that doubles every day. By the time I was finished we had all made many films and held all kinds of neat conferences and retreats. :)
Eden Haiku: we are invited to a premiere of a poetry documentary tonite. We were filmed reading our poetry. We were 30 years old then. It's gonna be a shock seeing my younger self...
Eliza Madrigal: Wow! Is it a film we'll be able to see, Eden?
Bleu Oleander: cool
Riddle Sideways: /listens to both threads
Eden Haiku: It will be online at the ONF website at some point I think. The National Film Board. I will let you know :)
Eliza Madrigal: thank you, would love to see that
Riddle Sideways: what language would it be in?
Eden Haiku: Seeing myself from the past.... Oh that’s in French Riddle :)

--BELL--

Riddle Sideways: nevermind, the phone book in French would sound great
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Bleu Oleander: :)
Eden Haiku: Right :))
Riddle Sideways: brb
Eden Haiku: That sounds like an interesting exercice Eliza :) Ridiculous amounts of money and we would change the whole world!
Bleu Oleander: probably not is my guess!
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Eliza Madrigal: I flubbed the rules a little.... in the exercise you're only supposed to spend on yourself, but that ran out really fast. We had a fabulous time together for about 10 years though
Adams Rubble: I must go back to RL. Nice to see you all :)
Eliza Madrigal: bye Adams :)
Eden Haiku: Bye Adams:)
Bleu Oleander: bye Adams :)
Eliza Madrigal: I think it helped me see what my notion of , 'what if PaB could be in RL' was, though
Eliza Madrigal: if there were no limits on our creativity and collaborations
Bleu Oleander: we would need lots of money?
Eliza Madrigal: Sure... time together to brainstorm and make things... films, crossover projects
Eliza Madrigal: there were lots :)
Bleu Oleander: there really are no limits now ... just have to have the desire and curiousity to stretch those perceived limits!
Eliza Madrigal: :) Would like that to be the case... need to be freed up to do all that
Eliza Madrigal: up* (personally)

A new Art of Being  exhibition, Sunday 11-noon SLT

Bleu Oleander: speaking of which ... some very nice pieces in our new exhibition which opens sunday!
Riddle Sideways: back, by e Adams
Eliza Madrigal: yay :) Going to wait to peek
Bleu Oleander: I think people liked becoming paintings :)
Eden Haiku: Art of Being new project, nice :)
Bleu Oleander: kind of an avatar thing to do :)
Eliza Madrigal: My grandfather is here Sunday but I'm going to attend anyway... back and forth for the time of the opening
Eliza Madrigal: Really nice project Bleu
Riddle Sideways: yes some nice projects
Bleu Oleander: yes check it out Eden ... opening is 11-noon with Zen playing his music and everyone coming as a painting!
Riddle Sideways: almost did the same one as Tura
Bleu Oleander: yes me too ... love Escher
Riddle Sideways: windering how to do an Av like that
Riddle Sideways: all ribbons
Eliza Madrigal: I'm sure there are diff ways to do it
Eden Haiku: 11 to noon SLT Sunday, thanks Bleu :)
Bleu Oleander: yw!
Bleu Oleander: also I've added a new space
Eliza Madrigal: Oh?
Bleu Oleander: below the gallery ... just jump in the pool and fall down
Bleu Oleander: follow the stars
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Eden Haiku: smiles
Riddle Sideways: oooo what is in there?
Bleu Oleander: I did a few extra pieces ... can never stop, that's my problem LOL
Eliza Madrigal: Bleu's overspill room :)
Bleu Oleander: exactly hahaha
Riddle Sideways: opposite problem, can't finish One
Eliza Madrigal: same, sigh
Bleu Oleander: I love the pieces I chose in rl and have a lot of fun putting 'myself' in them :)
Eden Haiku: Not much RL time for SL projects unfortunately...
Eden Haiku: But I would love to see the creations: it's a fun idea to dress as a painting :)
Riddle Sideways: do you have photos of RL poses, Bleu?
Bleu Oleander: its all creativity rl or sl ... just a question of which projects to do ... we have so much going on in rl that sl gets ignored, but art projects inspire me.
Bleu Oleander: photos of poses?
Eden Haiku: RL poses Riddle, what do you mean?
Riddle Sideways: possibly read wrong, but did you do Being framed art in RL?
Eliza Madrigal: yes, that's it. When really inspired it feels like no time taken
Bleu Oleander: oh no I haven't Riddle, but would be fun if I could get a few crazy people to do it too LOL
Eden Haiku: Oh no, that's not what I meant Riddle, sorry for the confusion....
Eden Haiku: Oh, and the question was to Bleu... Sorry, I woke up late and I'm still a bit sleepy :)

--BELL--

Impatience with matter, breezy with words and a pot that sings

Riddle Sideways: is ok, Confusion is a constant state
Eliza Madrigal: I'm very inspired by what others do with art, and usually have a burst of hopeful enthusiasm, but then run up against my own impatience
Bleu Oleander: woke me up to start thinking about doing this project in RL haha
Eden Haiku: It was fun watching the Oscars on Twitter with you Eliza, loved it!
Eliza Madrigal: It was fun :))
Eliza Madrigal: Was wondering if your red wine would make this morning a little challenging :)
Bleu Oleander: we should have done an oscar night at the fountain
Eliza Madrigal: :) that does sound fun
Eden Haiku: Yes, it does take a lot of patience with matter to create art. Resistance of matter. I don't have that with words though, it feels always breezy with words :)
Eden Haiku: Red wine challenged my sleep patterns indeed :(
Bleu Oleander: must go ... great to see you all
Eliza Madrigal: Bye Bleu :)
Riddle Sideways: take care
Bleu Oleander: bye for now
Eden Haiku: Bye Bleu!
Riddle Sideways: by by Bleu
Bleu Oleander: going to try to be breezy with words today :)
Eliza Madrigal: hah :)
Eliza Madrigal: words are very much your modality Eden... easier access to flow
Eden Haiku: It is for you also isn'it Eliza?
Eliza Madrigal: It is the medium I'm happiest in, but I can't say I've found confidence to flow with it the way you do Eden :)
Eden Haiku: Riddle is good with sounds and technology and speeling skills :) Musical being!
Eliza Madrigal: yes,Riddle has a totally unique vibe :)
Riddle Sideways: each has a most comfortable medium
Riddle Sideways: yeah right
Eden Haiku: Oh, I love your writing Eliza, your blog posts are always interesting!
Eliza Madrigal: I like being forced to switch gears, but that is where I feel limitation... think doing art would help my writing, but I *need* the writing to feel sane
Eliza Madrigal: thanks Eden :) still finding my way but I think that might be a good medium to keep going with... a kind of anchor to all else going on
Eden Haiku: I find creating art very refreshing but I'm impatient with it too :)
Riddle Sideways: understand
Riddle Sideways:love getting clay all yucking in fingers
Eliza Madrigal: :)))
Riddle Sideways: but can't make a pot
Riddle Sideways: that sings
Eliza Madrigal: I took a pottery miniclass last year and that was so fun
Eden Haiku: I guess in your field of work patience with minute details is soo important isn'it Riddle? I can be very patient with words but not if the color I apply turn not exactly what I want...
Eden Haiku: A pot that sings :)))
Eliza Madrigal smiles
Riddle Sideways: seems we all have our fav medium
Riddle Sideways: so we can make a pot, but it needs to speak: words, poetry or lyrics
Eden Haiku: yes, and yet it's fun to venture outside of our box sometimes :)
Eliza Madrigal: Am trying really hard to get back to confidence in intuition, and am interested in whatever will help me do that really, but I do need to cultivate more activities offline.
Eden Haiku: You seem to do so many Eliza!
Riddle Sideways: right
Eden Haiku: Yoga and cooking and pottery!
Eliza Madrigal: what you see is me scrambling, trying this and that :)
Eden Haiku: Sharing with others is great and stimulating isn'it?
Riddle Sideways: one way to look at it
Riddle Sideways: *two
Eliza Madrigal: :)

A thousand short arms and sand mandalas in the river of time

Eden Haiku: I'have been working a lot on a piece in English in the last few months. Sent it last week finally. Now I'm considering many options...
Eliza Madrigal: am shallow with everything :) a thousand short arms, haha
Eliza Madrigal: Oh! What is it?
Eden Haiku: You don't come out as shallow Eliza but the picture of a multi-arms goddess with short arms is funny :)
Eliza Madrigal: hehehe

--BELL--

Eden Haiku: Not sure yet. I have a novel I'm writing but there are secondary rivers I'm going to travel on. Not sure which ones I will pick...
Eliza Madrigal: Multiple projects at once?
Eden Haiku: It's still fuzzy...
Eliza Madrigal: I'm so interested to read about ashram, but don't want to nudge :) I know you'll find your way
Riddle Sideways:y'all know that NOT All projects, streams, depths are the same length or that they need to be?
Eden Haiku: True Riddle. :)
Eliza Madrigal: You mean the things that don't go beyond the shallows aren't failures, Riddle? :))
Riddle Sideways: Exactly!!!
Eden Haiku: It seems I want to paddle into shallow rivers in pink rubber boots :)
Eliza Madrigal: I need to get that into my head for real :)
Riddle Sideways: :))
Eliza Madrigal: Awww, I love that image. Eden splashing around
Riddle Sideways: like the 2 little kids yesterday in the meadow pond
Eden Haiku: Being like a mindless child, trying things out...just for fun. No stress.
Eliza Madrigal: the picture of delight and play
Riddle Sideways: yellow rubber boots
Eden Haiku: Or yellow rubber boots yes :) That would be another river:)
Riddle Sideways: so, how can you think each project should go to a PHD?
Eden Haiku: Right!
Eliza Madrigal: somehow have a picture of the colorful sand from mandalas floating and flowing along the river rocks
Eden Haiku: Beautiful!
Riddle Sideways: nice
Eliza Madrigal: maybe just a Masters, Riddle :))
Eden Haiku: Our lives and creative ventures, sand mandalas in the river of time :)
Riddle Sideways: think back to having swam in the river
Eliza Madrigal: ahhh, smiling
Eden Haiku: It feels good :)
Eliza Madrigal: when last? as a child?
Riddle Sideways: yet, swiming in that river was only a moment. a moment that has replayed over and over to the delight of the crowd
Eden Haiku: Floating in a shallow river with a strong current...
Eden Haiku: A strong flow I mean...
Eliza Madrigal: blissful moments
Eliza Madrigal: letting oneself be carried away
Eden Haiku: Yes!
Eden Haiku: Path of least resistance :)
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Riddle Sideways: and zero regrets that the blissful did not last longer then life
Eden Haiku: Following your feet...as in a dance
Eden Haiku: Immortality is already achieved isn'it?
Riddle Sideways: yes, in a moment
Riddle Sideways: love that word. have thought about it since the first use
Eliza Madrigal: immortality?
Eden Haiku: Long after we are dead, archives of this morning conversation between Eliza, Riddle and Eden might be discovered by an archeologist of the future...
Riddle Sideways: putting "isn'it" up for nomination as word of the year
Eden Haiku: laughs
Eliza Madrigal: wonder what they will say.. whether they will *feel* what we felt here
Riddle Sideways: nope
Eliza Madrigal: :) maybe one catching a glimmer off the water?
Eden Haiku: You think they will be very different from us Riddle?
Riddle Sideways: 10+ years of logs compiled into somebodies PHD dissertation
Eden Haiku: Articfial intelligences with no feelings at all?
Riddle Sideways: AI will study these
Riddle Sideways: actually have almost tried that
Riddle Sideways: does not work yet
Eliza Madrigal: if they take away anything I hope it is the importance of play
Eden Haiku: But the fleeting pleasure of an archeologist realizing we already knew she was going to read our log in the future and wondering who we were really...
Riddle Sideways: AI can't follow the overlapped threads
Eliza Madrigal: quite meta Eden :)
Eden Haiku: Meta meta meta indeed!
Eliza Madrigal: "we see you!"
Riddle Sideways: feels a song coming on
Eden Haiku: AI will certainly notice Eden Haiku is very fond of using the word"indeed" :))
Eden Haiku: listening to Riddle's song...
Riddle Sideways: meta meta meta meta ... to the tune of Spam, Spam spam
Eliza Madrigal giggles... hopes the threads blend together as a far more beautiful and cohesive tapestry than we realize... perhaps needs music, yes

--BELL--

Eden, Riddle trying to locate his onigokko link in inventory and Eliza

Eden Haiku: onigokko

Riddle Sideways: meta meta AI travels back in time to try very hard to experience what Onigokko was, is, the music, the dance, the silliness
Riddle Sideways:Commander Data could not feel it
Eden Haiku: Just imagine the archeologist of the prehistoric virtual worlds wondering why the word "onigokko"' seemed to release endorphins!
Eden Haiku: oh, hope the doc will find you in good health Eliza. Have a wonderful day!
Riddle Sideways: have your most fun doc appt., Eliza
Eliza Madrigal laughs, thank you
