This is the whitest town I ever saw, for such a Black town.
In Texas, and, I imagine, every other place on the planet,
people say,
"If you don't like the weather here, just wait
five minutes, it'll
change." Even in Texas that's an exaggerration,
but here in Cleveland
it's not.
Yesterday I watched the old snow from last week go through
some drastic
changes very quickly. It'd been cold and snowing for
a week so there
was a pretty thick layer of dry snow on everything.
Well, yesterday
morning it drizzled RAIN instead of snow. My god how
beautiful
everything looked in car headlights just before the
sun came up. Two
hours later it was practically HOT (35 degrees) and
the snow started to
wither under that rainy drizzle. I looked in my back
yard about noon
and the snow was still there but there were PUDDLES
of WATER on the
snow's SURFACE.
THEN SUDDENLY EVERYTHING FROZE UP AGAIN... so that the
puddles and the
surfaces of all the snow-layers turned into ice. By
evening, it was as
if all of Cleveland was still under snow, but the snow
was itself
covered with ONE HUGE UNBROKEN "POTATO CHIP THICK"
ICE LAYER. You could
lightly stomp the surface of an ice-covered snow pile,
and if it didn't
crack it would produce a DRUM-LIKE THUMP.
Wei and I spent some minutes last night just trodding
on our yard for
the rewarding feeling of our boots crunching through
the ice layer.
I had to drive to a radio station meeting at night...
on the way home,
the streets and sky were clear as can be.
But I got up this morning and it had been snowing all
night again.
THICKLY. So now there's a new layer of snow on top,
the old layer of
snow on bottom, and this crunchy ice layer sandwiched
in between. And
it is a WHITE WHITE WORLD. The whitest I've ever seen
this burg.
Whitest I've ever seen ANYTHING except South Dakota,
where there was
LESS of EVERYTHING, so there was nothing to poke up
through the snow,
thus truly nothing but white to be seen for miles.
High murder rate in South Dakota for such a sparsely
populated state,
"cabin fever" being a very real thing there.
The ARISE DVD is almost done. It's a wonder that I even
noticed the
wonders of the outdoors because I am back in video editing
mode. I
wasn't GONNA try to change the old video much, YET;
mainly I just want
to get it OUT on DVD. And I ended up doing almost nothing
to the
visuals. Cordt Holland had already added some old-Bushes
and Husseins
in 1991. I replaced part of a Reagan-Gorbechev shot
with a George W.
Bush - BinLaden, and I supered "$30 after 1992"
where it said "Send $20
for Ordainment," and I added a scrolling title
at the end that explains
how the Dallas PO box still works but we moved to the
Internet with
branch offices in Austin, Cleveland and Amsterdam, and
that the tapes
turned into DVDs and the Book had children. And I added
the SubG/MTV
ad, Onan's Confession and the new X-Day Commercial.
That all took about an hour, but what I found myself
doing all day long
and into the night were AUDIO TWEAKS.
I COULD go through ARISE and replace EVERY OLD GRAPHIC
with a new one.
I could replace a lot of old devival footage with nicer
looking new
footage. etc etc. I refrained from that... save it for
later or another
film! But... but... AUDIO TWEAKS are easy. You literally
DRAW the
volume changes on a virtual soundtrack. And by Gobbs
if I didn't find
myself PORING over that film, sentence by sentence,
all day yesterday,
making this clip louder and that holler softer and that
transition
smoother, JESUS, one could sit and equalize volumes
FOREVER, really, so
finally I called it a Finished Remix and rendered it.
But GAW DAYEM,
you should see the knotty looking "volume control
lines" now drawn all
over my soundtracks.
I guess back in the day, when we were mixing manually,
on the fly, one
take after another, we forgave a lot more sins sound-wise.
With this
new computerized mixing, there's infinite control down
to the very
frame and it's all repeatable and tweakable. A kind
of freedom that my
tired old brain has trouble wrapping itself around.
So today I'm to go through the whole film YET ONE MORE
TIME, putting in
25 or so "CHAPTER MARKERS" so that the viewer
can jump to specific
scenes from the menu. I also have to make the fucking
menu and
interface, and render the first master DVD. Fuckity
fuck-fuck...
PACKAGING... eugh. I already made a special MORPHING
ALL-DOBBSHEADS
LOOP for the main menu front, and an irrritating little
audio loop that
sounds like your DVD player is suddenly making odd noises,
except that
every 18 seconds it says, "Bob?"
I also have to make the BOX. I wanted to just scan and
enlarge the old
Hal Robins ARISE box, the green one that looks like
a detergent box
(deliberately), but... that ain't gonna work really...
so I'll COPY it,
modernly-style. Instead of the True Dots Dobbshead I'll
use the
Photorealistic Nenslo Dobbshead (which has been awaiting
just such an
august use, on a COVER) with an INK-SPARING light green
Kai-textured
background and a 3D dripping title logo.
Then I have to do the fucking CATALOG SHIT for it.
And I have 11 MORE SubGenius CDs, CD-Rs and DVDs to
do this to! The CDs
are easy enough but the other DVD, YIKES.
AND I'M THREE DAYS LATE ON HOUR OF SLACK, AGAIN, ALREADY!!
Good thing this new ARISE SOUNDTRACK sounds so UNBELIEVEABLY
FUCKING
CRYSTALINE-CLEAR, with Howll's voice reproduced in BELL-LIKE
PERFECTION
and with every teeny sniggly little sound effect that
was worked into
DK Jones' score. All I have to do is cut the fux and
it'll be a "NEW
RERUN" show. Come to think of it, there's been
a whole new generation
of SubGenius babies born and raised to adulthood since
the last time I
ran the ARISE soundtrack on HoSlack. Seems such a short
time to me...
But here's the thing. I have to decide whether to make
the DVDs on the
"LITTLE" DVD MAKING PROG (iDVD, which comes
with Macs now), which is oh
so very easy, or to learn the new DVD "PRO"
program, which will allow
more "bonuses" (like all the 14 minutes of
deleted scenes) but which
means I'll have to READ INSTRUCTIONS ALL DAY. Also I
can't even install
the new program until I've installed 512 more MB of
RAM and A NEW
PROCESSOR. Which I ordered last week and which are now
sitting here
waiting to be installed. WHEN I GET UP THE NERVE.
You ever open up your computer's guts, take out its
brain, and give it,
not just a new memory chip or two, but a WHOLE NEW BRAIN?!?
Tricky
operation when it's so cold and dry that there's a small
lightning
storm every time your fingers get near anything metal.
I will probably
(seriously) run a wire from my body to the grounding
hole in the wall
socket to keep from blowing the new Mind.
Ya'll are gonna SHIT when you see what ARISE really
looks and sounds
like. For 5 years now nobody's seen anything but VHS-from-VHS
copies.
From now on it'll be DVD-from-1"-Master.
Of course, much of what's on that expensive, fancy 1"
videotape master
reel came from BETAMAX HOME VIDEO recorded off BROADCAST
TV, with an
antenna, at LONG-PLAY SPEED...
but still.
Also, as of NOW, I can start the process of BOOTLEGGING
MY OWN FILMS in
EARNEST. While I sleep, my computer will be busily converting
ARISE to
various smaller formats -- SVCD mpeg.... VCD mpeg....
DivX avi...
RealMedia... MPEG-4... I guess that's it. (Fuck Windows
Media.)
I have a Master Plan regarding the usenet video piracy
newsgroups and
have been waiting for the ARISE bootlegs to be done
to implement it.
ARISE must come first, then the other "accessories"
can be posted. And
it all must be done JUST RIGHT. If my plan works out,
in a couple of
months I'll be the most beloved AND ALSO the most hated
poster on
alt.binaries.multimedia and the others. But nobody will
be able to
accuse me of fucking up TECHNICALLY. My posts will be
technically
"ACCORDING TO HOYLE."
Doing high end video editting on a Mac is EASY. Doing
BOOTLEG MOVIE
PIRACY on a Mac is another thing entirely. You have
to be the NERDIEST
of nerdy computer geeks to use a Mac for Internet bootleg
movie piracy
PRODUCTION. That's an all-PC world, movie bootleg piracy
PRODUCTION,
is. The tools are all off-market things made by hackers
and for the
most part the hackers DON'T make them for Mac OS. Mac-hackers
have to
do that themselves. Luckily for me, these particular
thieves SHARE.
BEAUTIFUL, near-DVD quality copies of ARISE will be
distributed for
free to anybody who can download an SVCD off a newsgroup
and copy it
for themselves. From what I have been able to tell,
that's three
SubGeniuses and maybe 40 or 50 hobbyists across the
planet. And I'll
send free copies to SubGenii who are in it somehow.
Hmmm... but then
there won't be anyone left but the 5 new SubGenii to
buy it... and only
one of them even has a job, much less the spare $20
I'll be charging.
Well, I didn't join the Church of the Genius.

We got so depressed and disgusted with this shit that
we're off south
tomorrow to Nashville then to FLORIDA to stay with my
granddaddy and go to
the BEACH and get frigging WARM. And being 4 months
preggos I have this
SHITTY carpal tunnel syndrome that I'm certain will
disappear when the
warmth, sun and exercise gives me some damn circulation
back.
This weather BLOWS big honkin CHUNKS. "Shiitin'

puts it. It's 20 degrees WARMER in ULSTER which is
at the same friggin'
latitude as HUDSON BAY.
Last vacation for at least 2 years, so I might as well
enjoy the hell out of
it. Well worth a 22 hour drive dodging tractor-trailers.

Well, ARISE is busy using my computer right now, if
that's what you
mean. I had to use Princess Wei's laptop just to look
at the Internet.
What's up with SubSITE is probably that I need to mail
you a CDR -- a
DVD rather -- with all of SubSITE on it because you
can't really set up
parts of a website without knowing how the rest of the
website is set
up.
I'm just trying to get these damn interfaces and conversions
and boxes
and ads and shit done. I'd implement your new (old)
work that you
already did if I had time to redo the links, but I have
a real real
real real real real good and practical reason for wanting
to update
ARISE immediately and then deal with SubSITE. Earthly
concerns, related
to matters of high finance. If I can get ARISE into
a couple of
catalogs, within two or three weeks I'll have at least
the $80 I need,
maybe even more!

---Cool! Although it might seem like it, i'm not really
in all that
much of a hurry. I was just worried that you may have
somehow (i don't

If you've

I am maniacally anal and methodical all this media I
have to handle.
I've had an awful lot of people come to me for back-ups
of THEIR stuff
over the years. My problem is not space but time. I
might not work on
SubSITE for a month or longer but when I do it's like
an assembly-line
process whereby parts that have been stacking up in
the "New for
SubSITE" folder get used. That folder is always
about half the size of
the current SubSITE.
I have given up on trying to harvest alt.slack for SubSITE.
I can't
keep up with it and apparently nobody else can either.
I just grab what
bits and pieces I can nowadays.
So, onward through the fog... Thanks for your perseverance

Often the trick is knowing when to stop. In this case
I stopped. Now
the job is done. I'm putting your hideous lovely "photorealistic

I hope.
One hard lesson I learned over the years has to do with
the problem of
drugs, or dumbassery, in art projects. On drugs or other
intoxication,
such as pomposity, the arteest is often less likely
to STOP and CALL IT
FINISHED when he or she should, but continues fiddling
until it's
wrecked. GOD DAMN IT. Thus I'm down to half-strength
coffee and timed
frap-packings.
I have also learned that SubGenius DVD boxes and jewel

designed with as much white, and as few dense blocks
of color, as
possible. INK IS EXPENSIVE and decides that aesthetic.
