Surreality

I don’t know how many of you out there have seen the Coen Bro’s Masterpiece “The Big Lebowski”. When watching the DVD release of said production every 2nd chapter is a Ten Pin Bowling scene, my weekend was a lot like that. Let me see if I can capture a bit of this Harmonic oscillation.
Saturday morning I awoke. Spending about 40minutes reviewing the weeks work on a few assignment problems before heading down for breakfast. After food it was back the books Managing to get a problem out of the way quite quickly. Thus, feeling rather pleased with myself treated myself to some Knights of the Old Republic, KOTOR to those in the know. Much to my relief and dismay I finished that game in about 30-40minutes, keeping in mind that I had already spent about 48hrs on it to get to where I was. After watching the end movies (on the game) I returned to the books until lunch. After lunch it was back to the books until Amanda popped around briefly till Ross reminded the 2 of us that I still had a long way to go. So, Amanda went home and I returned to my books. Finishing 2 more questions off before dinner was quite a relief…
When I step outside and look back on Simon and the pattern in which he lives, you see that no matter how well crafted an art movie is it can’t reflect the intricacies and unexpectedness of real life. With this in mind, it’s no wonder that reality TV is taking such a stranglehold on most peoples lives. For many Spontaneous, genuine despair is much more fulfilling to the average viewer than any composed and scripted artwork mimicking that of real life. You can watch TV for that if you wish.. I personally will save the Electricity and sit quietly in a corner watching, or even, partaking as the calamity unfolds around me. Life is for reality, TV is for art. What about “The News”?? I hear a few of you protest. That, my friends, is why we have computers. Now go for a walk in town.
