there's been a development and things are going okay. i'm watching through all my tapes because the rainbow run stuff online has been really boring lately, and besides I've already been there and done that and decided i like it here and the associated smells. I know that stuff is about making furry seem scary to kids again, and a lot of the pop content people in furry seem to be on their first run themselves. i hope the content nerds pull through, they've got a lot of interesting ideas that deserve to be embraced and let run free like the rest of us. Needing context is nothing to be afraid of or ashamed of, always remember that.
One of the tapes is about art print lithographs and it was about 20 mins long but the tape was a t-120. so i was thinking about how they could fit 6 programs on there instead of just one, then offer it for the a lower price than each individual for the understood tradeoff that you'd be buying some programs you wouldn't want and you'd have to do a lot of fast forwarding if you only wanted to watch one or two. T-120s aren't necessarily less expensive than a T-20 would be, a T-20 is an hour and 40 mins less tape after all, but they are and always have been the primary length from blank media manufacturers and nearly everything will fit on one, it just depends how much is left over.
Another thought I had about it was similar to a thought I had about a similar tape length situation with a local new england historical society tape that contains a documentary of the history of a town, which i have been to by the way. so i thought, wouldn't it have been neat if in 1989 when the tape was printed, somebody shot video around the town and then appended their then-modern footage at the end of the tape to create a double-layered time capsule. then, in theory, the historical society could track them down years later and have that footage. Sorry Fitchburg, mine's one mountain goat short of a dinner meal after the main program :/ but i'll keep an eye out for any others for ya! (....supposing anyone there would read this....as if!....?) But anyways, i have other tapes like the lithograph one for painting and have been videotaping my own painting lately so i figure that's not a bad use for the extra hour-forty either for the daring, the bold, the type to live in an old mannequin factory perhaps.
or maybe just some geek cat who tapes her record sleeves back together with regular clear tape instead of doing brainsurgery on a slug for the sake of a 4 dollar hollar i'm already playing out anyways.
oh yeah and i like my new therapist but the gray buildings and podcars and stuff still bother me and always will, like any canvas that vies to stay blank does.
