So, as my Mandarin Chinese is very limited, my understanding of this scene is like this:
The woman holding the palm-leaf fan is a witch who uses it for her own ends. Monkey quickly returns in the form of a bee after she blew him far away and re-transforms back into Monkey, requesting the fan on behalf [...]

The serialized sketches on this blog will eventually lead to the rough drafts of various projects and eventually print editions which this organization will co-publish and promote in revised editions.
This site represents the short segments and sketches illustrating a personal kind-of process, and one that hopefully doesn’t undo the mystery needed in art [...]

Telling stories w/unique narrative structures: an actor’s career, or any given celebrity, unfolds through the successes and failures of his stardom, much the same way a brand/product’s value rises and falls relative to its perceived market value, and the value of its parent company.

The characters (Florescent District) that operate the site are detached from the events themselves, accepting the project as objective.
Point out the bestiality (?) of pop media: where sex is emphasized over function, a dumbing-down (fleecing) process takes over until celebrity comes to represent the ideal human (human as bestial/animal/Nietzschean)—an Earth Mother ideal—than the majority [...]

Going down the list as is (beginning with titles, from which the story derives, from which plot points derive):
Silverfish: ?
This Is Not Me: short essay-ish fiction
“Angel Babies”: ?

This site’s overhaul hasn’t come quite as quickly as I had hoped/anticipated/expected. But, such is life and work and the toils of the men. My question to you is, who doesn’t go months without ever contacting friends and family? I’m not so abnormal, after all. I blame it on a slight coma I’ve been in [...]
