Never heard if these books, good ones? Dream logic, seems more like it. Tubs, hm, the red tub(e)s? A joint dream bath. I look forward to your reasoning. Thanks for input, as usual.

I no only one Turkish word: sevda. I think I know what it means!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It is nice to hear it from a man. Women mention about 'sevda' easier than men.
In Turkish names have meanings (like American Natives), Sevda is also a female name.

It was the name of a Swedish Turkish jazzband in the seventies. Turkish folk music in a loose jazz setting. They were really good!

You mean Terry Gillam of Monty Python?
Thanks! I like his movies!

Yes, I wrote it wrong. I like some of his movies too, like Brazil that is a masterpiece of the modern cinema, but actually your style reminds me the animations that he did for Flying Circus.

Yes Brazil – that is by far his best one.
Hm I thought that my Monty Python days were over!
But the spirit prevails I guess

If you cook it – is this an invitation?

This is delightful. The thick colours suggest tons of makeup. The eyes beneath only serve to contrast this.

Looking at it now, I think my description is a bit 'off'.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Intentional it may not be, but the white is rather reminiscent of the Victorian white lead faces, with no features other than the eyes, nose and mouth stark in the middle of the face. The rest of the skin texture was nil!

Yes – makes sense! and they are very stiff, but the picmust must be from the 30:s!

Very amusing collage. All on life support opr just pure oxygen or maybe maybe even nitrate?
I wear a masonic ring from my grandfather Frank (out of respect and it is cool) from the Dakota Territory.
A gold ring with a blue sapphire in the middle. In London folks did not dig it.
And yes, we are writing some sci-fi with some WW II mixed in. If it at all bugs you, do tell me. All harmless creative writing stuff, but lots of fun.

Mark. Sounds like a nice ring, hold on to it. And there are no bug around here when it comes to your joint creative writing. I am not around when she indulges in this activity anayway. She just talked about this docsonian and it sounded familiar; Yes Mark the half a swede!
cheers

Ohhh I do on the ring. It means a lot. I just lost an Uncle 2 days ago, so the memories of that generation i hold onto.
So true...half Swede...as an Erickson, hard not to take it with me everywhere....both my grandparents were born there, one in Landskrona and the other on a farm outside Stockholm. They immigrated to the US and ended up both about the same time in the Dakota Territory and met and fell in love out in the farmlands.
So is used to go up there a lot and a huge Scandinavian community.
A weird angle of up there is if you ever saw the film 'Fargo,' The Coen Brothers nailed the feel nowadays. Cold and forsaken and a bit twisted. Filmed in Dakota and Minnesota. But truthfully i am warm blooded, too damn cold up there and out in the true west in California is where I live. But I am a Swede no less.

Hi Mark. Cant say Fargo is my favourite movie and if that movie depicts that area truthfully I can fully understand your move to California. But still swede – good!

Oh I never lived up on The Great Plains, my dad was born there and after WW II moved to Los Angeles. I have lived in NYC, Europe, New Orleans, Memphis and only visited up there that I call 'The The Land of the Cold Tundra' many times to see my relatives.
I am born and raised Californian, surf long hair painter etc.
The whole bill of goods.
The desolation of that area is not for me, the cold and snow, not at all. But great to go fishing, hiking along the Missouri river. Very historic, My father was born in an Indian area called Painted Woods, North Dakota. Still a lot of reservations up there.
The Fargo movie has so many inside jokes on the area, culture and America and if you did not get those the movie would not in a way incomprehensible. It really shows the breakdown of civilization. Also needed to be seen in the theater, on a the small glowing tv screen, would flatten the notion. Do not even think this movie can be related to by folk outside the US in many ways. It is almost a parody of how America used to be in the 1940s-1960s. though it was contemporary.
The director/ writers Coan Brothers have a wicked sense of humor, in a sense like Quentin Taratinno, twisted, a bit sick and violent.
Being a Swede u are maybe far better off in that territory.
If you look at the basic premise of Fargo, u see the total abandonment of what is right and wrong. Where the evil lurks and the greed takes off. I loved it in the theater when i saw it, but I knew the area and the folk with the silly Skandi sound in their English, though maybe re-seeing i would feel different.
Sometimes it is best to keep the memory and not go back.
But who knows, it had a sick side and i know rightly so that can bother people.
I just saw Inglorious Basterds and if you want to talk about something that affects the mind, there u go.
A serious Nazi slaughter movie, but enjoyable in that fact alone to anyone who loves seeing Nazis and specifically Goebeells and Hitler riddled with bullets, as in some psychedelic horror dream.
It was a blood bath, not always my cup of tea, but a good laugh given to the film going world by Tarantino.
But stuff like this is as the saying goes...to each their own

This one is my favorite version.
I can see the elite draining the world from its life energy...

This is so proper, and the activity so improper. One has to wonder about the lady at the head of the table. Where is her bloody tube? Is she an initiate or the mastermind. It is impossible to tell, although by where you have seated her, she is likely not an initiate. Yet her clothing suggests she is not the hostess. I wish you had given her more of an aura.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
She is the master of the ceremonies – but the aura was accidental! I guess i got tired of making the tubes – so she didnt get one. I am not fished with it yet – I think. Maybe less aura, or maybe more. There are so many possibilities!

I can't wait to see it again, with tubes or not, with more or less aura.
