Maybe the entertainment industry will make it easier to convince people to put in some work to learn real magic?
That movie vision of it is a lot more "organized" than the real thing, but you can do all you see in there by practicing darkroom gazing.
Last night it was time to practice, and my body woke me up at 2AM.
My first thought was, are Cholita's 5 visitors still floating around under my bed?
She actually let me get a glimpse of her yesterday when I got home. Haven't seen any of her for more than a month. She was behind a Japanese style folding room barrier, sitting at her desk. With lights above it, in a pattern she devised.
She was turned to the side so that I couldn't see her face, and she must have had $2000 worth of clothes and accessories on. Her hair has now grown down to her shoulder blades.
I tried to talk to her, but all she did was lift her left finger to signal me that she'd seen enough of me for now. Cholita can see me, even if her head is completely turned away. I haven't figured out how she does that.
Not particularly friendly, but at least she wasn't bent on murder.
So maybe I could figure out why there's a ski lodge under my bed?
If she was in a cooperative mood.
I opened my eyes to find, I was already translocated.
I was in some hotel room out in the middle of nowhere.
Probably because I'd been looking at pictures of old abandoned hotels out at the Salton Sea in southern California a few days ago.
Although, it could have been a cyclic being world.
New worlds don't come with sign posts.
That movie is not out of reach!
In fact it's inevitable. You can listen to stories Carol Tiggs tells about her and Carlos, and they sound a lot like that movie.

I have to promise myself not to go to that Chinese server, which has any movie or tv show you can name, the day it comes out.
For free.
I suppose I should have listened to Cholita, who asked me to get netflix.
But before I understood what that meant, she stopped talking to me. Seemingly forever.

I'm afraid, only Chinese speakers can get them. It's sort of set up that way.
If it was available to privileged white people, the DMCA would take it down.
I just ask my Taiwan friends.

that's more of an illusion than we think. add-up what it would cost to subscribe to all the streaming services needed to access everything now and it would cost more than a premium cable subscription will all the bells and whistles
something few can afford during a pandemic

In the 90's there was a meme (no such word existed yet): "Kill yourself, Save the Planet". It seems it's getting back! It's another movie selling you the idea of a virtual existence being equal to the limited reality. Plus messiah syndrome...

Well there's certainly no shortage of that in film!
