Reset-o the World-o

In a highly complex future where the borderland between humans and robots is getting obliterated and everyone - humans, androids, gynoids and cyborgs - is equipped with an e-brain the Japanese variations of what may go under the term of individual entities still can't cope with English words ending on a consonant. Thus a rebellious chopper pilot, a parallel to de Niro's Taxi Driver character, comes the conclusion that he has to "Reset-o the World-o".

day of tv
who can blame my radio
for being jealous

The cynic might conclude that the Japanese voice actor just can't speak English fluently and that sci-fi always is a bit unrealistic.

Dream 21-10-14

Without warning “they” begin renewing parts of my body, exchanging bits and pieces following a system I can't make head or tails of. I say “they” because I sense more than two hands but I can't see who or what they belong to. One pair of hands is working on my right lower leg. It rips out the pieces of muscle that has sorta made knots of themselves and feel sore. I watch gloved hands put in glass marbles in nice colours and toy soldiers (the kind you're meant to paint yourself) while the toes on my left foot are being capped with steel caps with claws that would fit a dragon's feet. “How am I going to walk in those?” I ask. “You aren't,” says a voice coming from who know where. “You are meant to fly!” “Oh, well ...” I don't know what to say. Who doesn't want to be able to fly. “But I haven't got any wings.” “Patience, boy, patience.” steady rain it seems sleepless too … file date: October 21, 2014

Voodoo

  Voodoo Absent minded I drop a herbal tablet on the glass table. I can hear it roll and stop but I can't find it. It's not behind the mug, the fruit basket, the ash tray, the tobacco pouches or the empty Cinderella video cassette. Maybe it's because I can't do two things at once: taking out a tablet and watch James Bond trying to avoid being killed by a sneaky voodoo man at the same time. Probably. almost spring I check the pollen count to make sure it's o.k. to sneeze . Voodoo Fraværende taber jeg en urtepille på glasbordet. Jeg kan høre den trille og standse, men jeg kan ikke finde den. Den er ikke bag kruset, frugtskålen, askebægeret, tobakspungene eller den tomme Askepot videokassette. Måske er det fordi jeg ikke kan gøre to ting på én gang: tage en pille ud og se James Bond forsøge at undgå, at blive slået ihjel af en lusket voodoomand på samme tid. Højst sandsynligt næsten forår jeg tjekker pollentallet for at sikre mig det' o.k. at nyse ...

days of being wild

  and I hear this faint rhythm in a sharp note just about to be out of my range of hearing like someone throwing small small stones on the floor which is why it's not that precise or even and I mute the tv and close the window so I won't be disturbed by the neighbour's goldfish pond it must be leaking a hose spits water into it day and night too weird I've been watching 3 films by the Hong-Kong director Wong Kar-Wai or Kai-War Wong whatever and typically me I watched the 3rd part of this (unintended?) trilogy last and I got sorta annoyed by the main character and his arrogance lack of empathy eating and throwing away women and so on which probably was part of the director's intentions that guy just hung around all day in a humid Honk-Kong or Singapore or whateever getting money from his adoptive mother and obviously not being capable of appreciating other feelings than his own ennui … well what the heck and I manage to locate the sound it's from the compute...
