HUGO REPORT #1item: retreat a catalog: early metaphase events of the day: people rode the wrong way in the park someone moving west had brunch, awaiting friends who failed to appear tremors were felt along with a possibility of dancing where no dancing was before. also pornographic dancing several memories occurred to several people at once: of a series of photographs of motels circa 1970 of jeff's jiggy arms that don't straighten at the elbows except with purpose. of
eyeballs problems of the day: synchronization of a question weather: humid, hot, typical motto of the day "we'll continue until that isn't true anymore" (revision: until that wasn't true any more) (alternate: I follow the rule of insertions) agreement: seeking balance of sequence versus confidence libretto: (too many heads; she leaves; petti cara/irene
cara; benihana; clock in socks; is it a dead horse?; what's funny for
you is painful for us; that much) indisputable high point: he jumps, he lands, he loses his balance,
head plummets; suggests some information is lacking. HUGO REPORT #2item: sandwiched by catastrophes a catalog: feels like work events of the day-week jeff began it in walton, and needed to eat something; pursue relationship of memory to steady nutrition. the air is thin. I mean thick. the air is thick and hard to breathe; the air was thickening in preparation for a tornado coming right at you, 58th street, Countdown T minus 2. immanent arrival of a parent, in advance of tornado confirmation that justin was not on the bridge that collapsed. are you reading this? we were worried. bitter package mailed at post office
two blocks from the studio, which would provoke bitter response Despite the approaching tornado, the
air inside was cold, very cold, and the fan, which could be called a
rather sad bad fan, wobbled asymmetrically over chris' head, for he
had chosen to sit right beneath it knowing full well that it might come
spinning down, whether he be would be in its path or not. issues of the day we still have some work to do how do you hit a head without hurting it? how do you meet someone out of a walker percy novel? information and application: how many
items is it possible to change before incorporation? motto of the day (connecting the dots, that's what the
grunts are,) like an ellipsis on every phrase rule of the day contraverse: uh, actually melodic themes bear sounds, bear sounds of necessity,
bear sounds of intellection, sounds of bear constipation promise to report on that: it felt good to do it again. Dear Hugo, As I write this they are talking on
the radio, projecting and not projecting, defending and not defending.
Things are getting blown up, Hugo. You know this. There is talk of an
exceptionally large burden, Hugo. You know this. You feel this. I wanted
to tell you something about mysterious processes-- I've been meaning
to try to say it for a while. 71 degrees at 5:04. light rain falling.
Four moments of silence today, Hugo. You remember this, Hugo. You keep
working. Maybe that's what I should write to you about instead. You keep working. I'll see you tonight. HUGO REPORT #3item: working up to appear in public a catalog: impermeably yours processes in evidence process of integration (description: multiple blueprint layers: track from paper to building itself) process of membrane (description: what is erected around something becoming itself) evolution of system:
from discrete sets to complex interactivity events of the day catalog survey from the people watching Hugo be Hugo: i.e. Baltimore is in Maryland; Crime
is violent; summer is scary; dog shit cleaned up in front of a business
where children were eating (extension: Hasidic children); tai chi sparring;
did heard nothing; a bank building burned down; Chinese are finding
business opportunities in Africa, i.e. ice cream factory in Malawi;
train didn't work between Bway junction and Levonia; # of soldiers now
over 3200; juggling for children in Connecticut; 48 hours no sleep;
Danish cookware bought at yard sale; a woman usually seen in window
was not in window - connect to article read about old people who sit
in windows; revival in park of unknown name across the street; distribution
of pamphlets against alcoholism; "I went pants shopping." cascading thought associations Jane Fonda shows up in the same evening.
Trigger flood of memory as Hugo is fond of, and complex memory palace
of Harrogate movie theater asserts itself on this report, my apologies,
I see the Fox and the Hound; Dad is watching Convoy; it's about trucks.
Who will win, VHS or BETA? Raiders of the Lost Arc means melting wax
people. Somehow it means that. You could redeem this Hugo, nunc stans. motto of the day Happy birthday in heaven, Vinny. 'Til we meet again. HUGO REPORT ON MISSING REPORTS item: lost or stolen notebooks a catalog: neural indexing under pressure
of loss [hand drawing here] processes in evidence process of externalization: (moving into the public, soliciting the public) process of internalization: (barriers
erected to prevent public from getting too close) events of the day marketplace for those who show things
for a living. the removal of hugo to a dark room, visited by prior friends
and interested parties. the question here falls on what "interest"
means, i.e. early philosophy of attraction and pleasure revised to appetition
and interest (whitehead, james) for the purpose of making it look real,
or rather making it look respectable. Becoming respectable as a goal,
considered. Neighbor Jeanine strapped an electonic metronome to her
chest and made us all feel good as well as bad. Visitors from other
towns to engage in the spectacular, although it didn't negate the duties
of our day, i.e. who needs to go to the bathroom and do they need your
help--never ceases to be both relevant and immediately in need of consideration.
Consideration and preparation shown to be variably defined, down the
street, after an interim of eggs. Also in the interim (this by report
only), some pushing for a particular demonstration of interest crystallized
and behaviorized, and evidence of resistance. This reporter sang badly
in a nearby apartment while Hugo drank beer. In the end of the day,
far from Hugo except in the heart, there was a demonstration of energy
so persistent as to bring up the possibility that there are devils (divells?
djinns?) in Manhattan, although they are more likely visitors to Manhattan,
living either in the sky above, in the neighboring state, or in the
Borough of Brooklyn, which Hugo has renounced, in the future, already
come to pass. At the site of the divell, this reporter made two encounters.
Hugo is I think concerned with the future, and so are these, though
with fruits less edible and comforting than was at that particular moment
in that particular place, thought possible. Possibility was a thematic
of all events in this day, Manhattan swarmed with scouts of the possible,
to which Hugo apparently recoiled somewhat, as evidenced by difficult
frequencies registered in a cave. Beloved cave, nonetheless. weather not much appearance of children again, aggregating code as
a form of wall construction rare events in the rib, something like a cold hot
needly feeling that would, if visible, look something like a visitation
by tinkerbell questions on obliquity
value on external valuation HUGO MISSING REPORT order:: should have been first but was lost :::bureau: r.e.c.o. item: I've seen you in this room before a catalog: of missing items processes in evidence what happens when you turn under a hand
on your head. a hand not on your head but on a head you can imagine
being your own. when I watch hugo is it possible for me also to be hugo? this is between you and me what you showed to everyone, written
on cards, was something I had forgotten I had written to you. it was
a transfer from a letter to some other hugo. what it bears on, hugo,
is precisely what is at stake in this report. what is the responsibility
of a reporter on hugo if not attachment, of words to mind, of images
to paper. or is it a wall building exercise, to contain and preserve.
I have a proposal in mind, hugo, something I want to talk to you about,
a rationale for a participatory archive. we have all been diagramming
and containing, and there are other things attached to my dreams that
make themselves both felt and visible more so than you, Hugo, because
I'm sitting out here watching you, and what I dream about is what I
can be part of. This is of course the good news. You ask me, what's
the good news? and I tell you, from this archivist of questionable performance,
the good news is that you've asked me and Nicky in for tea. So we'll
see you soon. weather it rained a great deal and we all got wet |
