analog 44
well, it's about time i write
a new analog, eh? but i always end up saying that in the beginning of
these things ! i have been incredibly preoccupied with moving , unpacking(
ok, i haven't unpacked THAT much..i need some shelves! we looked at shelves
today , but couldn't find any we liked), working on a little mini-film,
and a trillion other things...thinking a lot about stuff...as usual..i'll
get to all that. 1st...remixes of my song "hollywood" were released last week.
u can buy it pretty much anywhere, i think...or get it online( like at
imusic! hehe :)anyway, even if u don't buy it online, u should come say
hi to me at the bbs they have for me there! on the 22nd, after a two year
wait, my full cd will finally be released to stores. thank god! on the
24th, i'm going to have a cd release party at 7th st. entry. opening up
for me will be my incredible boyfriend and a TON of his talented friends
playing ambient music. it will be very low key with candles, incense,
and tables to be leisurely at :) my boyfriend is now going under the name
"fetik3" the "3" is actually that small three that means "cubed". he has
many new songs on his website: www.fetik3.com
you can also hear there a great remix of hollywood that he did with his
friend rob that is unavailable anywhere else! he and i are also going to be
playing an improvised ambient set at the walker art museum on october
18th. when we do that, we call ourselves "purrotika" and fetik3 has a
TON of shows he is playing..i cannot keep track! go to his website to
see where he is playing. if u live in this town u won't want to miss them
! after i play my show at the entry...m goal is to do live shows online
for everyone. i am very excited at the possibilities! like, for instance,
does anyone have any ideas on how to make it more interactive? i was thinking
of triggering a speech synthesizer via a chat programme that u can all
go to...then u could hear what u typed incorporated into my show.( i did
that at the walker art center last year, and it worked very well) also...i
wish there were little downloadable musical instruments of some sort,
so u could all play along with me on them! anyone know of such a thing?
ok, now...about the mini-film i was making. it is for radioactive to use
as a promotional piece. i had this great idea of what i wanted...but had
to abort that idea 3/4ths of the way into the day i was shooting it. what
i WANTED was that i was going to be covered in clear liquid latex...then
but a shine on it ..so i looked like a big shiny rubber doll-thing. that
is why i shaved my head...i wanted to be completely covered in clear shiny
liquid latex. so i had to shave off ALL my hair..yes, i mean ALL of it...from
my fingers to my toes. no, it was NOT fun. i also got these grossly long
acrylic fingernails put on...i looked like nosferatu a bit! and we had
blown up HUNDREDS of tiny clear balloons and attached them to the walls
in my old apt ( i'm still paying rent there...i had to give two months
notice..grrr.). the idea was that i would look like a shiny doll android creature
wriggling about in these clear balloons that looked like fish eggs. ( and i
still have these acrylic nails...though i cut then down..VERY hard to
type this with long nails..which is part of the reason i haven't been
in IRC much ...too hard to type with these nails!) anyway... the idea turned
into a VERY BAD THING! the latex looked SO cool for about an hour ( for
those of u with ...maybe u saw it) THEN, it started turning WRINKLY and started
peeling, and i ended up looking like a 200 year old zombie from a cheap
horror film! NOT my intent! LOL! i thought i'd just take the latex off
and reapply a new coat...but to my GREAT distress...this was EXTREMELY
painful!!!!!!!!!!! i was FREAKING out! i was hyperventilating and nearly
in tears as 3 people ripped this crap off my body. imagine the stickiest
bandaid on the most sensitive part of your body...then imagine that ALL
over your entire body x 10. AUGH. i will never forget that nor repeat
that! so i came up with a new idea on the fly..and that's that. when i get a
copy of it , i'll put it up in a quicktime movie. it's not what i had
intended, but it's a cute little film, nonetheless. so that whole ordeal took
up quite a few days, then another day i went into the studio and jason/fetik3
helped me with putting together more tracks and stuff for my show. all
of this, and adjusting to my new home...has just made me want to watch
cable tv. oh cable tv...let me sing thy praises :) let my mind be hypnotised
away from all the stress! oh, and i ALMOST got to go to the MTV video music
awards..but nooooooooooo....oh well, i saw it on tv...and it was just
ok. ok, i'm just a sucker for those awards shows...although i hate competition...i
just love to see what everyone is wearing. :) and were madonna's arms
muscular or WHAT??? holy cow! i think i'll take up yoga one of these years!
actually, i did take yoga once and had this really sadistic teacher...so
i quit. i'm looking into tai chi. i still haven't figured how to get all the
angles i want out of this house. i think i'll have to build some contraptions
so i can get a cam very high up. and also over the bed. i haven't figured
out how i'll do it yet. i love those aerial shots. and it really
has been technical difficulty month ! i have two cams up and running now,
finally ( and a third on ...a feature of the mystery button..:) i really
need a new computer...but don't have a grand to plunk down on one right
now...so until then, anacam is running off of a quickclip videocard thing.
when i get a new computer,anacam pix will return to their colourful glory.
my computer is totally pieced together with the weirdest things right
now... we still have only two phone lines...we are getting dsl lines installed
october 9th...so i still have to wait a month..but at least they are on
their way after the long phone strike that happened here. so right now my phone
line has anacam running on it all the time..so i cannot make any phone
calls on my line...nor get on my other computer that i always used for
surfing and talking in IRC. so when jason/fetik3 gets off his computer...then
i can use his phone line to call people once in awhile. and when we get
the dsl lines, we are going to do streaming vid for ...and also a radio
show for :) i'm going to be trying out lots of stuff! i'm very excited
to get this all happening! and i need to get some longer cords for my
cams so that it can reach all the way down the hallway, and into the bathroom
that has the bathtub...then anacam can have bubblebaths again! yay!! :)
so much equipment i need. so many more cams to buy! aaaa!!!! i hate waiting!
i want it now! i've added two new anarchive things..."flower's voog visuals"
and "will's ana church and bbs" ..go post..pray...etc.. :) will has even
included my astrology chart on there! hehe :) oh, and actually, i'm rather enjoying
my bald head! last time i did that, it made me depressed. i felt so unfeminine,
and i wasn't in the mood for that then. but this time i'm enjoying it
and i think i look kinda THX1138 :) i think i'll go out and buy a bunch
of jumpsuits and janitor suits and be really "butch" and stuff. LOL! :)
then after awhile, i'll probably retaliate from it and start wearing many
frilly dresses ( like 12 at a time) oh, and if u hate my new bald look...just
send me a wig to the p.o. box that is listed in anatomy...and i PROMISE i WILL
wear it on cam! what kind of wig would u like to see me in? if i get enough
wigs...i'll even make a special page with all the different pix of me
in them! :) how's THAT fer interactive? haha ! let's see...hmmmm.what else?
i'm looking for a scanner to scan my whole body! then i'll put it on my
page like a puzzle for u to put together and print out. and...someone
offered to make a "virtual ana" i just have to get my picture taken in
the same position about 18 times. i have to find time to do that'cause
that sounds SO COOL! i still want to make an online pape doll of me..like those
japanese ones that there's a link to in my anarchives. and....i want to
add games to my page somehow...even if it's just a crossword puzzle...any
ideas??? and when i get things a bit more organized around here..i hope to make
some room to make "sets" for taking cool cam pix( like isa does! check
out www.isabellacam.com!!!go there
NOW!!!) these are SOME of my ideas for the future...but be patient ! i think
i need to veg out and watch some more cable a bit...i'm still not recovered
from moving and having latex ripped off my body.... i have all the windows open
now...soon it'll be winter...so i will luxuriate in openwindowness. the
trees are starting to turn colour here. i really love fall...but winter...nooooooo
:( btw, this apartment is a lot colder than the other one i had. so that's
why u don't see me with my clothes off as much...it has NOTHING to do
with that i moved in with my boyfriend! how absurd! do u think i'd go
out with someone who does not support what i love to do? ha! in my last apartment,
it was SO hot that i had to open all the windows even when it was 30 below!
that place was a VERY VERY hot old place..way up on the top floor. i'll
show u a picture of the outside of it AFTER i've totally left there...i
still have a bit of stuff over there. god, moving sucks. so, i expect this winter
will be more clothed than last winter. sorry, but that's just the logistics
of body temperature and buildings. so i'm just warning ya...if your watching
me only for the nudity...u might want to exit as winter approaches! BE
GONE 'LIL DOGGY! but for those in it for...just the pure surreal fun of it...well
then...this winter is gonna be FUN! yessirree :) let me repeat: MY BOYFRIEND
HAS NOTHING WHATSOEVER TO DO WITH THE AMOUNT OF CLOTHING I WEAR OR DO
NOT WEAR EVER! it's 1998 and women can vote now! did'ja hear?? hahahahaha!!!
ya, it's called FREEDOM! wanna try some? :) oh and lemme think...press i've
gotten lately...ummm.. playboy! dutch playboy even! ( ok, it was just a blurb..but
hey :) a magazine called TOMORROW from germany.. DETOUR magazine...oh...and
an italian magazine i forgot the name of it..if u stick it in the altavista
babelfish translator it is highly amusing! ya, i should make a page that
has all the press i've gotten , just fer the heck of it..being that i'm
an obsessed documentarian! ohhhh i neeeeed more time! ah..but time is but an
illusion and all that...i just can't seem to get the hang of it... speaking
of loftier topics... WHAT DOES "GRACE" MEAN TO YOU??? that is the question of
the month! and..due to a rotten accident...all of arcana and past anapix were
erased off of our server!!! like i don't have enough to do? well, i will TRY
to slowly rebuild it...they are all on my harddrive...i just have to FIND
them all..sort through it...put it on floppies and hand it to jason/fetik3
who will do the manly task of putting them ON the site. yes...i WILL learn
HTML...ummm...SOON? oh GOD! and i want to redesign my site!!!! SOON! i think
i'm going to draw it...then scan it...when i get a scanner... but anacam
might get REALLY minimalistic for awhile..i have a very simple idea in
my head. i'm kinda sick of having two options ( graphics or no graphics)..i
just want ONE option...then it's much simpler to upload all the things
to just ONE place. so the tv image on the graphics page might go soon...that
ok with u? and...i think that's about it..if i think of anything else...i'll
add a p.s. don't forget to send me wigs! luv and trying to simplify (
ya right!), ana p.s image theft has temporarily put a hold on anapix. in order
to stop the hundreds of sites that were hitting the anacam picture every 30
seconds by creating their own 'anacam' pages (which was putting the bandwidth
costs of anacam into ridiculous numbers) i had to set up the page so as that
they would receive an image theft warning picture rather than the cam picture.
the unfortunate consequence of this is that you will not be able to save pictures
from anacam at this time. i'm trying to figure out a way that will stop the
image theft, yet let you save the images that you want. but until that time
you can blame these evil sites for having it come to this :( members will be
able to save the images during this time, so the anapix will be updated, however
not as often. i've received 3 e-mails from people stating that they are going
to the anacam page, but are still getting the image theft picture. i'm looking
into that as well, and will let people know what solutions are available as
soon as i find them. p.p.s. If you live in the twin cities they are showing
my new mini-film, hello i'm ana voog, and some other things of mine on cable
