Insomnia #1673
No sleep last night, running into 40+ hours of wake-time. Words and phrases resurface from past scrawl like the ghost image of a passenger jet partially obscured by clouds [shark breaching the surf] reappears after the genuine article is long passed. No flotilla of 747′s in the patch of sky where I see them. No opalescent liquid pouring down over the wall. There is less than what is seen, for me – I am coping with that in my sleep-deprived state.
I started hoarding data last night. The act kept me awake then and keeps me awake to this moment. Text flashes across multiple terminal windows, reminding me that I have tasked a machine with something Herculean and tedious and somehow necessary. Acquired: every modern English word. Acquired: massive entropy data set. Acquired: every common surname, every common male and female first name, acronyms, and data which makes very little sense outside of its original context. Acquiring: more data. I will acquire increasing amounts of data. I will fashion the data into meaning (nuanced, idiosyncratic meaning most likely).
Completely lost the plot – back when my mind reconstitutes or the liquor wears off.
Gears—at superspeed.
Brain machines—high load.
Cinema eyes—fix.
Electric nerves—to work.
