Salvador Dali has always been one of my favorite artists. I saw some of his original paintings in NYC. The canvases were huge. It was like looking at dream.

You ought to read the Ascent of Man which I lent to you. I am sure you would enjoy the book.

I admire your writing ability.

If you end up using Cafepress or something similar, let me know– I can link to it from this page if you want.

For several months I have tried to be diligent in recording my dreams in text files. It’s not always convenient or possible for me to wake up and immediately write my dreams down, so I sometimes choose to let the less interesting ones slip away into vague plot details.

I toy with the idea of posting my dreams online as a blog. They can be funny sometimes. The only thing is I feel like some of my dreams touch some parts of my life in a way which I’m not sure I want to share with the world. However unconscious they are, they still feel like my most visceral thoughts.

I thought the series was more interesting in the earlier stages. I get tired of the wordless scrambling around in the dark. How many times can you apply digital A/V distortion effects over badly-lit, shaky pseudo-industrial scenery before you jump the shark?

I think the recent investigation of the “slender house” (shed?) was a step in the right direction for the story. It was something that held my attention in the early videos. I like to think that Slender Man lives there, and when he is inside you can just barely see the top of his head over the sides of the house.

I don’t know if I find Slender Man entirely creepy. It was very unsettling to watch the videos in which he’s subtly visible in the background, or in a window at night time, but I think you could get that with anything. I mean, you could use something mundane and inanimate like a piece of string that keeps reappearing under mysterious consequences, and it might become equally creepy if you do it right. We don’t have any good reasons to fear Slender Man other than his appearance and the fact that he seems to be very good at stalking people and altering memories.

At the end of the day, I think manslaughter is different from murder. But those differ only in intent, not effect. I have yet to become completely consistent in the way I judge its importance.

Just remember, that when you tell yourself the Slender Man isn’t real, that you make him real by thinking about him.

I have had some pretty bad nightmares about the Slender Man.

When I set the camera up originally I failed to realize that the snow would pile up so much on the windowsill. I cleared it off twice, then I went for a walk. I tried to make a cameo appearance outside at the end of my walk only to later find that it had been covered up. So after that I just propped it up high enough that it wouldn’t get covered.

Of course each time I moved the camera at all I had to recenter the frame, which was not fun because the camera is 10 feet away from my computer. I had to physically adjust the camera then walk over to my monitor to compare it frame-by frame, and then repeat the process until I got it acceptably close.

I edited all of the re-adjustment parts out and tried to transition it to flow smoothly between shifting the camera. If I learned one thing from this, it’s that you want to just put the camera in one place where it won’t get moved/blocked and not touch it again until you’re done shooting.

You should take more pictars! I like seeing them.

1. lort

Lort is a danish word for ‘Shit’.

Often used to describe that a thing/action was bad.

“Det her mad smager af LORT!”
“This food taste of Shit (Lort)!”

“Det var virkelig noget lort, du lavde der.”
“That was really a stupid action.”

2. lort

This is the noise that occurs when a fart passes through bath water.

Whilst chilling in the tub, if one feels the need to fart, a bubble will rise and explode with the resulting sound: LORT!
