Spirals within Spirals… February 2, 2012

Hucka D.:

House Greenup and SoSo spin in opposite directions from the circles around them, counterclockwise in each case. The robots have circled around each of these structures (galleries) in a clockwise manner. You are in the heart of your 7 stones research, baker b. Have you heard?

bb:

Have I heard what?

Hucka D.:

Listen.

—–

bb:

Anyway, so it turns out, as I was walking them tonight, that the Greenup series within House Greenup and the Oblong series of SoSo spin around in the same direction, contain the same number of collages, and are both spiraling around both a lower and an upper level. Of course I knew Greenup and Oblong were similar in this way (2 loops of 20 collages apiece), and were different from the other 4 series of the 10×10 in this way.

Hucka D.:

In this way. Listen.

bb:

Death?

Hucka D.:

Not… no.

bb:

[Delete name] would say death is the end. Period.

Hucka D.:

Wrong.

—–

bb:

So the robots, both red and blue, *cannot* walk in a counterclockwise direction — they simply halt themselves at the 7 Stones marking this turning point. They *cannot* walk in the same direction as the spin of collage progression within each of the galleries they are circling around. (pause) The collages are separate from the robots, or are on an opposite spin from them. The robots do not enter the galleries for this reason, and never will. One comes from the Town Dump and the other from the Town Limits. Points Y and Z respectively on the picture above, Hucka D. Hucka?

—–

bb:

So the robots counter the sprialing energy of the two galleries, the blue one counters Greenup and the red one counters Oblong in the SoSo Gallery. But the Golden Way connects the two in a harmonic manner. I think.

Hucka D.:

I am harmonic. Listen.

bb:

Harmonica?

—–

bb:

Looking downward into the spirals of each gallery would be like looking into two circles stretched out and connected. The first circle would start at 1 and end at 10. The second circle, identical in shape and size to the first, would begin at 11 and end at 20. 10 collages in each circle, Hucka D. And containing an animation in the exact center of each, or between collages 5 and 6 in the first circle, and then collages 14 and 15 in the second circle. In addition, at each point where the two circles touch, as it were, another animation is produced, or between collages 10 and 11 in circles 1 and 2 respectively, and collages 20 and 1 between circles 2 and 1. This would apply to both the Greenup and Oblong series, although it is easier to see in the “classic” style of Greenup, where the pattern was laid out for the entire 10×10. This would be the first series created in the 10×10 as well, the ur series. Hucka? Anyway…

Hucka D. (returning):

Don’t you think the two (red and blue) robots are trying to make an animation with each other but can’t?

bb:

That makes sense. Let me try to wrap my brain around the concept.

Hucka D. (patiently):

Wrap away.

bb:

If they were heading in the same direction in respect to each other, they could make an animation — they would be two aspects of one motion, start and end. However, they oppose each other, and head in opposite directions, perhaps on opposite loops of time itself, Hucka D. Is it Greenup opposed to Oblong?

Hucka D.:

No. I don’t think.

bb:

Can you wrap your brain around *that*?

Hucka D.:

Yes I can wrap my brain around that. By the by, you saw me downtown today.

bb:

I did (!) What were you doing in downtown Blue Mountain, Hucka D.?

Hucka D.:

Just saying hello. Howdy, how’s it hanging. And such.

bb:

Golden One, eh?

Hucka D.:

Yeah. I try not to be boastful about it, but it gets away from you at times.

bb (smiling):

Right.

Hucka D.:

So you’re forgetting the Golden Way[ once more].

bb:

Guess I am. Let me take another look at the picture above, then.

Hucka D.:

One more look and we should end. It’s not too difficult baker b. Remember you were telling [delete name] today that it was simple and implying that he should be able to grasp it? Well… maybe it’s not. Maybe it’s like the red and blue robots that don’t make any sense all stuck at that stacked rock sculpture. That’s what it is — red and blue. Limitation.

bb:

The way to keep moving up the 10×10 spiral, Hucka D., was to create these animations at every fourth collage. Otherwise I would also get stuck. I remember the first — between Greenup collages 5 and 6.

Hucka D.:

56, yeah.

bb:

What is this saying?

Hucka D.:

What *is* this saying??

Greentop:

What is *this* saying???

bb:

Anyway, once more, Martin turns into another Martin in the animation, the yellow submarine starts heading more downstream on the Greenup Gill, and The Beatles have changed from Russian nesting dolls to jigsaw pieces of a puzzle. Jigkansawyers.

Greentop:

Jig-kan-saw-yers.

bb:

Still here Greentop, I see.

Greentop.

I hear. I see.

Hucka D.:

He’s in the collages, baker b. That’s why he’s here. Highest of the low, you know. Greentop. Asha.

bb:

And the tunnel in the background has lights in it now. Three glints — diamonds as I saw them. Something has been energized.

Hucka D.:

Birth is about to happen. Right Greentop?

Greentop (proudly):

Wrong!!

bb:

OK. So… I guess the yellow submarine in the collage could be the, er, Golden Way, Hucka D.? [no answer] And the diamond glints are Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds from the Sgt. Pepper album, then same album of the jigsaw puzzle. It has just been pieced together — the album I mean. 4 pieces to the puzzle, 4 Beatles, 4 Russian nesting dolls.

Hucka D. (returning again):

The tunnel is Millboro. That means it’s a time tunnel.

bb:

Let’s see. So that means The Beatles are travelling backwards in time, back to Revolver just before Sgt. Pepper. That’s why the images have turned black and white from color. “Yellow Submarine” is a single off the Revolver album, and paired with “Eleanor Rigby”. And we just spoke of this double single on the blog, Hucka D. Dr. Blood did, I mean. Dr. Blood and I.

Hucka D.:

And me.

bb;

This is probably about 4orrin1, then, Hucka D., which was slightly in the future when the collage was created, or predating it by several months. 4orrin1 would have been a strong and heavy influence at the time. Gravity.

Hucka D.:

And comedy.

bb:

4orrin1, or Foreign One, would have been the pull from the past which is in the future. (pause). Oh, and the lights within the tunnel are like train lights, Hucka D., which also plays a part in 4orrin1. Lemme pull up a pic.

—–

bb:

Well, I can’t find one, but it’s where Fin wakes up in the middle of the train track in tile 2, but then in tile 3 the train comes and whites out the screen with its light. It’s up in the air, in the synch, whether he survives or not. He is the Nowhere Man. Time goes backwards. Fin’s watch is smashed when the train passes over him because it was laying on the tracks — proof that he didn’t dream the whole thing up. At the same time in Nowhere Man we hear “take your *time* (don’t hurry)”. Can’t be chance or happenstance, Hucka D.

Hucka D.:

Golden Way. By the time you get to Oblong the synch process is in full swing. You have reached your peak, alongside collage production. Parallel peaks, then.

bb:

The tunnel is time travel. The tunnel is tile reversals. Jumping backwards. The end of 3 loops back to the beginning of 2 in this case. Nowhere Man.

Hucka D.:

It is because he (Fin) has lost his friends in the Yellow Submarine. He is alone, but is still saved. Time saves him. Backwards jumping. Otherwise…

bb:

Dead.

Cayce Do You Mind January 13, 2012

“Where is The Table located?”

“We don’t know,” replies Marty. Others mumble to the same effect.

“What is its shape?”

Same kind of response.

Hucka D. pipes up. “You have just uncovered the identity of Dr. Blood. He is Tin S. Man, formerly of Green Oz Creek and Tinsity. A million dollar Money Pit was buried at this location, then moved. Marty was in charge of the move. Marty is in charge of The Table, or its chairperson. Marty?”

“We don’t know,” he says again, then blushes, realizing he was several lines behind once more. “Uh-hmm,” he utters and adjusts the large volume of papers in his hands, knocking them hard several times against The Table to get the edges straight again. Then he begins thumbing through them nervously; beginning to sweat. Definitely an awkward pause in the action tonight.

—–

Hucka D.:

Well, since Marty isn’t quite ready I’ll pipe up again. You have just uncovered the identity of Dr. Blood. He is Tin S. Man of Tinsity fame, with a 1000000 dollar Money Pit near his home. Marty was in charge of the move. Marty?”

bb:

Excuse me Hucka D. but we’ve already been through this.

—–

The others start to laugh a bit now, and even Marty chuckles some while still trying to [also] get his act together.

—–

I’ll write privately as well, then. Silly variants, hehe.

—–

Dr. Blood:

I am here once more. I am unhappy.

bb:

Dr. Blood (!) Nice to see you around again. Long time.

Dr. Blood:

Not really. Just night before last.

bb:

Oh, you mean Tin S. Man found in the Heart o’ Sunklands.

Dr. Blood:

Beating heart, yes. Still alive, despite your attempts to kill. Chop an arm off there, a leg there, another leg here. Next will be my head. Next will be my heart.

bb:

Are you in charge of the Aotearoa Sink, Dr. Blood?

Dr. Blood:

I am the creator of organization. I wasn’t present at the meeting tonight and all fell apart[ because of it]. I just wanted to show you that. I am the organization. I wasn’t present at the meeting tonight and all fell apart in a way. I simply wanted to demonstrate that… I am the organizer of creation. I am the creator. I am. I.

bb:

Marty is fascinated with his role in The Table. Lemon — not so much.

Dr. Blood:

Marty and The Beetles are more subtly linked. Lemon doesn’t have the close identity. He does to The Beetles as you are trying to do with Sunklands. You don’t understand how long term it will be.

bb:

The Beetles show up most of all, perhaps, in Carcass+, lemee see, Carrcass+6. I had to count backwards in me head there.

Dr. Blood:

OK.

bb:

There is an association between the Sea of Green, famously found in the single Yellow Submarine, and Green Pond, New Jersey. The house involved is painted yellow, and it sits on the shores of this pond… er, lake.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Pond,_New_Jersey

Dr. Blood:

It is the yellow submarine. It has the friends all aboard. Rocking there are Joe, then Fin, then Olivia. Living a life of ease. They are playing, not a band with a trumpet, but just playing, having fun. Every one of them is all they need. It is the yellow submarine. The [yellow] train Joe and Fin chase is another type of yellow submarine. They drive parallel to it; they are the train which is the submarine. They too are having fun there. But they both need Olivia as well and she needs them. It’s just a very nice movie. Very profound in a subtle way.

bb:

Thanks for all that (!) The Beetles, however, trace the whole story of the movie. They are, one could say, locked in with the movie through these 5 songs, Yellow Submarine being the 5th. Balancing it out on the other side of [Carrcass+6] is Eleanor Rigby, the flip side of Yellow Submarine.

Dr. Blood:

Eleanor Rigby is about loss. For Fin, it is loss of his boss, his co-worker, his friend. He must make a long journey and find new friends. He must find a New Land. Newfoundland. Inherited from this same boss, co-worker, friend. But they are lonely in this New York City suburb on the New Jersey side. Hoboken I believe. The shop they work at, a hobby shop, must close now. Fin must make new friends in a New Land.

bb:

So, let’s see, next comes “Drive My Car”.

Dr. Blood:

So where does the lonely person Fin belong? That is the posed question. Where do they all come from, and where do they belong. The movie, however, immortalizes their actions. The movie tells the story of Anyman, who dies and leaves nothing, perhaps, but also something. He is not a Nowhere Man. He leaves something to Fin, and Fin carries on. Fin is an explorer. Fin is a great adventurer. Fin is acting through the soul of his friend. We trace a direct line from Eleanor Rigby to Yellow Submarine through the whole movie. Loneliness to Friendship.

bb:

Thanks. And then “Drive My Car”?

Dr. Blood:

Meeting between Fin and Olivia. Olivia almost runs over Fin not once but twice. These are also the two verses of the song. She can’t drive[ her car]. She is absent minded, spilling hot coffee on her, fiddling around with the groceries. She is unfocused. It is also Olivia and Joe, who she drives to see Fin. She remains uncommited to friendship to the two. Then we have an unexpected shift to Flubber for the final verse. Dr. Brainard too is unfocused, and runs into an apple tree with his car, now flying, or attempting to fly. Flying car represents a yellow submarine again: opposites. Powered by flubber. Olivia is the driver. Joe has no car. Fin has no car. “Flying” is directly attached, then, to “Drive My Car.”

bb:

The Beetles song “Flying”, from Magical Mystery Tour. The only song credited to all 4 Beetles. Their “Dyer Maker”, then (smiles).

Dr. Blood:

[Deepening] the segue to Magical Mystery Tour, after we see [Dr.] Brainard hovering over his girfriend and his rival [from Rutland College] for her hand [ after he straightens out the flying part], we then have the song “Magical Mystery Tour” itself. All aboard for the magical mystery tour is all aboard for Alvin Straight’s magical trip across the bulk of Iowa to see his brother Lyle in western Wisconsin, to make up for bad blood in the past. Alvin is dying — he knows that. Alvin drives a riding mower across Iowa. He too doesn’t have a car and makes do with what he does have. One riding mower goes kaputt; he buys another. This is all his money. Rutland is a linking word. Rutland… Rutles. Beetles parody.

http://www.zappinternet.com/video/ReDqBuwLuj/The-Rutles-Tragical-History-Tour

bb:

That’s so great (!)

Dr. Blood:

You must go to Rutland. Erik Idle is The Rat.

bb:

Yes (!)

Grassy Chat? September 21, 2008

First, a ta do list…

Talk to Grassy about The Arab, which I think will be, in another sense, called “Foreign One”. Arab simply means “foreign one” generically, that is, and has nothing to do with the Arab people. It means more, perhaps, “one from Mythos”. I want to speak with Grassy about its cargo, which may be the same as this “foreign one”. Maybe the ship is owned by Mythos or someone from Mythos. At any rate, it’s full of boxes… crates. The contents are what’s most important, though. although it may be a roller coaster ride to determine what’s in ’em. It may even be from the island of Corisca, SL style that is, or relate to something about that — wouldn’t doubt that at all. Could be a carrier ship. But it’s connected to Zoe for sure, as Shannondale and Summerville are nearby, mirroring the same in Missouri, the state Hucka D. wants us to run away from and Grassy wants us to embrace. Not sure about Grassy2’s opinion of the Show Me state yet; it could be him that shows up tonight instead. Never know with this set of characters.

I don’t think ohl, I mean oil, is part of the contents, but could be wrong once more, and may relate to the Arab name involved.

Yes, the more I think about it the more I believe this ship, this boat, this carrier of foreign content or persons, is from Corsica.* But how, since Corsica contains no people yet? Ahhh, a ship from the future, then! I wonder if the Corsica forest will be preserved, and if it resonates directly with the similarly sized Ruby Forest? Most likely there’s a direct resonation, I believe, but whether this means that the Corsica forest will be saved or not is another matter more out of my hands. All I can do is remember and preserve it for what it is now, and point out this resonation.

So let’s bring in Grassy…

“The ship is from the Corsica island and is carrying foreign cargo… content. Jetson. Another planet.”

bb:

That you Grassy?

Grassy2:

It’s Grassy2 again. Grassy is out on the town.

bb:

Do you have 1 arms or… never mind Grassy2. I don’t want to know. Now about this ship, this boat, this carrier. It was found a half-mile from the Current River, at Zoe.

Grassy2:

The sim of Ziczac use to be partially underwater in the days of the Moth worshipping peoples. Zoe.

bb:

The content of the crates is foreign, but not ohl, er, oil. Right?

Grassy2:

No, the contents are the Foreign One. Capitalized.

bb:

Is this a person?

Grassy2:

They are in crates.

bb:

Is this ship the “Finally Married”?

Grassy2:

Yo.

bb:

Was the ship not as much from Corisca as it was *found* at Corsica?

Grassy2:

The eastern continents are a mess. You must take of it what you can and leave the rest. Corsica. Ship. Foreign One. Contents. Carrier. Ohl but not Oil. Olive. Forest. Ruby. Corsica.

bb:

Are the 4 colored Jetson chairs within? Ohl — I mean, “oh” — and does Foreign One mean four-in-one by chance, hehe, as in the 4 Jetson chairs in one group directly resonating with the strong energy of TILE in our chosen sim?

Grassy:

Chairs. Contents. Jetson. Ohl but not Oil. Foreign One. Four in one.

bb:

It’s those chairs, isn’t it? Roller Coaster Road. Crates. Carrier.

Grassy2:

Send Esbum Michigan over.

bb:

There are things I don’t know yet.

Grassy2:

There are things you don’t know yet.

(to be continued?)

*****

(15 minutes later…)

bb:

Grassy2, Grassy went to Corsica, didn’t he? That’s why he’s not around.

Grassy2:

People are trees. Person is more than one tree at once, though.

bb:

Grassy2, is he in Pennsylvania, then? 1 Pink?

Grassy2:

Admittedly he’s not here. He’s in Big Four, West Virginia. Formerly Cirrus. Near the Welch airstrip.

bb:

Well, what’s he doing there?

Grassy2:

Currently he’s lost in a Super Wal-Mart. Bought a cd and can’t get out.

bb:

Is Big Four related to Foreign One or perhaps Four-in-One, as in the chairs? TILE? The “big four” colors?

Grassy2:

Yes.

(to be continued?)

*****

“Ok Grassy I think I figg’red out sumtin else?”

Grassy2:

How to talk with your mouth full?

bb:

Er, no. About Ziczac and zoe. That’s the *Diagonal* running across the sim. Has to be. And it’s mirrored in the design of the temple itself, especially the back side containing the words Rubie and Silver. It’s a mirror of a tic tac toe game.

Grassy2:

Contents. Chairs. Big Four. Grassy1 is there.

bb:

The Diagonal is the carrier of the contents, though. Right?

Grassy2:

I am hidden in the 125 and the 125. 1/4th of 1.

bb:

Big Fourth?

(Grassy2 does not answer.)

bb:

Ok, but this is important and I’m not quite ready to end this strange discussion. Has Grassy1 found his way out of the Super Wal-Mart yet?

Grassy2:

Not yet. He’s lost in the nylons section. Aisle 32, I believe. He has trouble counting above 25, you see.

bb:

Back to the Diagonal…

Grassy2:

End this.

* A little later on I found out that the whole continent was named Corisca, and the sims of the island take their name from this instead of having an independent status. But this might deepen the implied relationhip between Corsica, Pennsylvania and what I know now is the Corsica continent, since the resonation could be more widespread. For example, the gallery I was about ready to create on this continent would have technically been a “Corsica” gallery, then, even though it is quite far from the island with the thickly wooded forest I’ve been writing about.
