"You write like a jazz improviser plays! I dig it, Baby!"
Oh my gush, kali -- you're getting me so hot--
darlin'--you just wouldn't believe the tricks i can do with my coating rod
and hake brush--some day we're gunna have to do some jammin' darlin.'
anyway--jazz and rock and roll -- The List seems to be the traditional place
to warm up those novel writing skills
i gotta take a short break now for some tech notes:
for the guy across the water (btw: I'd give hot little nuts for a little
foreign list variety) --i can get my platine as black as i've ever
wanted--sorry, can't tell you what number that is dear; however, I don't
think comparative reflective densities necessarily mean what you might think
hun -- i think (sometimes, other times i just do it natural-like) papers
have different qualities and the difference in how a black looks, assuming
there is some relative skill behind the print (somewhere i know i have some
of my own but i just can't seem to keep track of it), how things look
depends on the nature of the paper--that is, the platinum metal should be
just as black as any other but may not appear as slick a black on platine as
on some more man-made harder papers or my neighbors cat. that is, (trying
to explain myself is quite a challenge), just like other materials--the
papers can have different inherent & immanent textural qualities that cause
them to reflect different imsexual qualities of light. seems to me a good
way to think about what's happening in the darks in your sheets is to think
of how some of you play with your studio lights when nobodies
looking--except for you extroverts doing it out in the open (please be
careful). why platine sort of has a diffusion screen laid over top of it
compared to say one of those Crane slickers--but what counts is really deep
down inside the surface assuming that has some relative depth. I myself use
a lot of platine--you wouldn't believe how sometimes, like i said before:
can't seem to get enough, but sometimes a lady just needs a different look
ya know, so i switch tools and toys or sometimes just my papers. I say
these things for at least 2 reasons: 2) cause its my time of the morning to
go at it, and now for the 1 that usually comes first) i've never seen a
densitometer that could explain anything it blindly read. They're such a
bore, like some others i hear, i don't let 'em in the house myself
personally, i don't care what other kind of borates are playing in my
metamixtures as long as we get what we want--sweet dreams--so why don't you
just mix some and see what happens--taking the precauses and precautions you
say you normally suspect/do of course--do i need to say that?--of course!--
or some elemental thread will start knitting another boring rug--O/well
common weaves are everywhere--anyway, i expect it'll tell you a lot more
than what any body can read out of some book of narrow facts--(the adjective
may be meaningless cause i hear all them facts are that way -- by art!
(being particular)) that's a general philosophy of mine regardless of
whatever genesius a real fiction is.
