Many's the time I've been mistaken

And many times confused

Yes, and I've often felt forsaken

And certainly misused

But I'm all right, I'm all right

I'm just weary to my bones

Still, you don't expect to be

Bright and bon vivant

So far away from home, so far away from home

And I don't know a soul who's not been battered

I don't have a friend who feels at ease

I don't know a dream that's not been shattered

or driven to its knees

But it's all right, it's all right

For we've lived so well so long

Still, when I think of the road we're traveling on

I wonder what's gone wrong

I can't help it, I wonder what's gone wrong

And I dreamed I was dying

I dreamed that my soul rose unexpectedly

And looking back down at me

Smiled reassuringly

And I dreamed I was flying

And high up above my eyes could clearly see

The Statue of Liberty

Sailing away to sea

And I dreamed I was flying

We come on the ship they call the Mayflower

We come on the ship that sailed the moon

We come in the age's most uncertain hour

and sing an American tune

But it's all right, it's all right

You can't be forever blessed

Still, tomorrow's going to be another working day

And I'm trying to get some rest

That's all, I'm trying to get some rest

...Art Haus on Netflix...20JAN14...

Exploring the deeper side of Netflix tonight in a study of the alleyways between the thoroughfares.

Room 237: Kubrick's The Shining provokes reaction.  "237" is nine viewpoints that go wildly off the mark, depending on your level of involvement in the dubious concepts of conspiracy theory.  However, a fascinating time digging deeply into the movie: it's color aspects, it's symbology - and, at the end, despite my disagreement of some of the assessment, you learn to appreciate The Shining again.  Whatever Kubrick had in mind, we can definitely agree he made deep rooted choices in making it one of the best horror movies of all time.

Plagiarism in 2013: Ruth Graham proposes why did 2013 become the year of word theft?  The good news is that, in the writing community, it is, after millennia, still frowned upon.  It is property, it is the poet's.  Don't do it.

Caesar Must Die: A documentary that pits the context of Shakespeare within an Italian prison, the incarcerated troupe in their portrayal of Julius Caesar.  These men and the play they enact are a sight to see: they emote in a way that few actors otherwise can.

Gregory Crewdson: Brief Encounters: with the overabundance of cameras in the world today - there is a dullness to the art.  If everyone can take the same picture, since the phone or the camera takes much of the guesswork out, then what do we have left?  Crewdson, on the other hand, infuses much into each shot. I hate to use the word 'stylized', because it elevates beyond that, since the thematic tones that he strikes are decidedly not sleek.  They are a hyper-realization of a moment that is struck within him - the light and colors of some memory that you understand lives within him.

Mystery of a Masterpiece (NOVA): what is compelling in this piece is not the framework of the story that NOVA puts forth, it's the underpinning that Leonardo Da Vinci could possibly thrill us several centuries after we believed we've seen all of his works.  Could this portrait be his?  The signs outlined in the documentary point to a high degree of confidence it very well could.

Science as a cult of instrumentation: Philip Ball, of Aeon, argues the vacuous ideas of science feeding upon each other instead of expanding our conceptual basis of what to do next.

"Beauty" a Short Video by Rino Stefano Tagliafierro - a work that elevates the flaccid genre of online video repositories.

B E A U T Y - dir. Rino Stefano Tagliafierro from Rino Stefano Tagliafierro on Vimeo.

General Orders No 9: a visual dream of Georgia, USA.  A stream of consciousness that looks under, around, its impact as a state.

Mark Twain and the West: Lapham's Quarterly surmises Twain's The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County as a humorous aside of post-Civil War, albeit with a larger lesson on a reflection of that age.

Indie Game: a lucid (as you'll find many articles written on it as well) look at the state of independent games today.  The frustration of coders who put their all and a year or two, into a title to see that they just didn't get enough from it.  A sad state of affairs for those that would like to see art in a genre that is dominated by war, space or undead titles.

Jiro Dreams of Sushi: the dream is a luscious one, filled with knowingly cut pieces of salmon.  For those wanting of more art in how katana blades are derived, see how Jiro presses his crew to understand the right way to start a fire in the kitchen and to get the seaweed to taste 'just right'.

Chuck Woolery sings, possibly high:
