I source procedur from my life.
I can’t promise you anything but results if you attempt them.
Don’t scroll until you’re ready.
procedur always hits better on a laptop or tablet.
procedur will always be better in a browser for aesthetic purposes.
Follow the pink links.
Have writing and listening tools ready.
Yeah Okay now proceed.
OCTOBER is the real reroute.
Interviewer: The musical laughter of your doppelgänger arrested you with its inherent seduction and made levity possible only through the relief of being deeply found out, how do you respond to this?
This moment is the most you’ve ever experienced yourself.
The city you built is falling down around you while you’re tinkering maniacally with a new diorama.
The problem with the old city was it was invisible–
rookie mistake.
Tsk, tsk, to think: all that hard work for no one to ever even step foot inside.
They only heard (you) tell.
the less real it became.
It’s almost as if you told the whole thing back in the box, yeah, that’s right, talking turned your city into a box so walk your ass right back to the beginning, back to the first time you opened that box, but this time turn it over– actually take the time to
read the label:
DISPLAY ONLY
What’s the point of sale if you can’t sell it?
What’s a bid with no buyers?
Impossible. (Unreal)
Come back to the land of the possible. (Free)
Getting here is going to cost you everything so,
you better gather the nuts to pay your own way.
The good news?
People pay to visit a visible city.
The bad news?
People are broke.
Enter the tenth month, its inconsistent system.
Do the math.
October is for reprogramming satisfaction.
Select three qualities you’re invoking.
Not traits to admire, states to metabolize.
For three nights this month, choose one film for each quality.
You’re going to have to do some research.
Now, watch like worship.
Keep a notebook / sketchbook open.
Watch closely how the quality behaves in the characters, the sound, the light, the camera, the palette, the pacing.
When all three are complete, list those qualities again.
If they’ve changed names, you did the procedur correctly.
Don’t stop now.
Buy a new notebook.
You’re going to design your device.
It doesn’t have to make sense, it only has to work.
Draw the interface: a console, control board, handheld object,
or living mechanism:
Invent buttons, sliders, switches, dials:
Give them functions through symbols or color.
Don’t write what they do in words, only encode it visually.
Cut out and paste onto the cover of the notebook.
Before writing, engage the device.
Now, try on that mask I mean task again, but this time with a few accessories: a little consequence, a little risk, a little gravity.
Fucking take yourself, seriously.
But not before you read the fine print:
October is for abandoning face.
Open a blank document in google docs.
Choose one typeface that feels like you six months ago.
If you know how, import your own font.
Respond: What did I bind myself to through this style?
Write without editing, let the typeface dictate your tone.
Open a new document.
This time, choose the typeface that feels like you now.
Respond: What do I bind myself to through this style?
Print or screenshot both. Look at them side by side.
Blackout a few words and post as one image side-by-side.
What happens to what we cover?
All that shit you hid, yeah you guessed it–
racking up interest.
Candy coated cardboard,
sugar soaked cereal,
silt in the soup-
From the top spot you thought you bought–
LXVE,
