For Oscar Day Afternoon
The rest of the text from Marcela Nowak today . . .
I started a new painting and wanted to share the process with you all!
Also, this is my first time doing a voiceover, and recording and listening to
my own voice is so stressful—it took way too many tries to get this right.
And as always, the early stages of my paintings make me question all my
life choices. They don’t start looking right until they’re at least 70% done…
but that’s just part of how it comes together…

Area 15 Revisited: The In-Folding
"All manner of thing shall be well
When the tongues of flame are in-folded
Into the crowned knot of fire
And the fire and the rose are one."
— T.S. Eliot, “Little Gidding” (1942)
For seekers of a "crazy Christmas knot" —

Mere Synchronology
The date — January 9, 2010 — of the Guardian book review
in the previous post was noted here by a top 40 music list
from that same date in an earlier year.
Update of 4:07 AM ET the same morning:
Fans of Cormac McCarthy's recent adventures in unreality
might enjoy interpreting the time — 3:25 AM ET — of this post
as the date 3/25, and comparing the logos, both revisited
and new, in a Log24 post from 3/25 . . .
Helen Mirren with plastic Gankyil .
. . . with the logo of a venue whose motto is
"Reality is not enough."

Prescott Street Revisited: The Boys in the Kitchen
Or: MDT-48 Meets COMP360.
‘It doesn’t have a street-name and that’s because, as yet,
it doesn’t have any street profile – which is incidentally
the way we want it to stay. The boys in the kitchen are
keeping it low-key and anonymous. They’re calling it MDT-48.’
The boys in the kitchen?
— Glynn, Alan. Limitless: A Novel (p. 40).
Picador. Kindle Edition.
(Originally published by Little, Brown
in Great Britain in 2001 as The Dark Fields .)
From Log24 on Nov. 29, 2020 —
CNN story from All Souls' Day 2022 —
“This drug can be extracted from magic mushrooms,
but that is not the way our compound is generated.
It’s synthesized in a purely chemical process
to produce a crystalline form,” said Goodwin, who is
the chief medical officer of COMPASS Pathways,
the company that manufactures COMP360 and
conducted the study."
