Business art. Art business. The Business Art Business.
October 29th
Before I was shot, I always thought that I was more half-there than all-there – I always suspected that I was watching TV instead of living life. People sometimes say that the way things happen in the movies is unreal, but actually it’s the way things happen to you in life that’s unreal. The movies make emotions look so strong and real, whereas when things really do happen to you, it’s like watching television – you don’ feel anything.
Right when I was being shot and ever since, I knew that I was watching television. The channels switch, but it’s all television. When you’re really really involved with something, you’re usually thinking about something else. When something’s happening, you fantasize about other things. When I woke up somewhere – I didn’t it was at the hospital and that Bobby Kennedy had been shot the day after I was – I heard fantasy words about thousands of people being in St. Patrick’s Cathedral praying and carrying on., and then I heard the word “Kennedy” and that brought me back to the television world again, because then I realized, well, here I was, in pain.
So I was shot at my place of business: Andy Warhol Enterprises. At that point, in 1968, Andy Warhol Enterprises consisted of a few people who worked for me on a fairly regular basis, a lot of what you might call free-lancers who worked on specific projects, and a lot of “superstars” or “hyperstars” or whatever you can call all the people who are very talented, but whose talents are hard to define and almost impossible to market. <…> An interviewer asked me a lot of questions about how I ran my office and I tried to explain to him that I don’t really run it, it runs me. I used a lot of phrases like “bring home the bacon” so he didn’t really understand what I was talking about.
<…>
Business art is the step that comes after Art. I started as a commercial artist, and I want to finish as a business artist. After I did the thing called “art” or whatever it’s called, I went into business art. I wanted to be an Art Businessmen or a Business Artist. Being good in business is the most fascinating kind of art. During the hippie era people put down the idea of business – they’d say, “Money is bad”, and “Working is bad,” but making money is art and working is art and good business is the best art.

Journal
October 28th
From “The books of Albion” by Peter Doherty.
In relation to her gains, to her sexual harvest.
Did a content person achieve anything except his own smug expression?
From “The continuing adventure of Spaniel O’Spaniel”. (Part II, at the Careers Officer’s.) (Peter Doherty)
In his passion, only a passion for life, he would, with deliberation, never hurrying, deliberately, get the words wrong.
Mr … breathed a sigh of despair.
I am quiet and lonesome, and full of heavy mercury, industrial melancholy. I have patience without insight and insight without care for coherence. I love without the use of any organs. I make music in my head and wish that I was dead.
When I’ve become immune to my own instincts.
When I know for a fact that the days in the sun were allusions. When I see the tears & tears in my proud father’s coat, When my Saviour, my Lord, the one who promised me life is drinking in Stepney with his soon to be wife, then, sure as McFuckety, It’s time for death on the stairs.
Somewhere I like the words, somewhere the ideas.

October 15th – October 27th
For several weeks I was short of time to write on my blog. I summarise everything in one post now.
It is Reading I start with.
I quit reading The Forsyte Saga on the page 250. Despite the fact that the book isn’t boring, I got fed up with it. Not only one cause is to mention. I find almost everyday the new stuff to read: merely up-to-date information or which I consider essential for my mental development. This book isn't modern, so there was only one reason to read left. I started to read it, because I wanted to undertand another nation. I have some vision of it now. Eagerness for something more modern has come.
The famous Saga exhausts with its formal old-fashioned language. Try to perceive useful vocabulary from dozens of unknown words isn’t a good perspective to a person who wants to learn fast.
I had come across a film on television, which had been based on this book, recently. I have been aware of plot since that, so reading became not as adventurous as it had been before.
I don’t regret reading this book, nevertheless.
Fellini – never expect him to be loud and clear.
Make a difference! – was my motto. I watched Fellini’s “8 ½” in Italian for not to spoil the right atmosphere, submitting the film with English subtitles. The Italians are used to speaking fast, and I didn’t manage to read and understand everything. The text was metaphorical too. While it has been a memorable experience, I will watch in English in future.

Andy’s book “Philosophy of Andy Warhol” has different chapters named Work, Time, Love, Fame, Atmosphere, Success and etc. These are the extracts from Beauty.
When you’re interested in somebody, and you think they might be interested in you, you should point out all your beauty problems and defects right away, rather than take a chance they won’t notice them. Maybe, say, you have a permanent beauty problem you can’t change, such as short legs. Just say it. “My legs, as you have probably noticed, are much too short in proportion to the rest of my body.” Why give the other person the satisfaction of discovering it for themselves? Once it’s out in the open, at least you know it will never become an issue later on in the relationship, and if it does, you can always say, “Well I told you that in the beginning.”
On the other hand, say you have a purely temporary beauty problem. < …> If you don’t point out these things they might think that your temporary beauty problem is a permanent beauty problem. Why should they think otherwise if you’ve just met them? <…> So it’s up to you to set them straight and get them to use their imagination about what your hair must look like when it’s shiny, and what your body must look like when it’s not overweight, and your dress would look like without the grease spot on it. Even explain that you have much better clothes hanging in your closet than the ones you’re wearing. If they really do like you for yourself, they’ll be willing to use their imagination to think of what you must look like without your temporary beauty problem.
If you’re naturally pale, you should put on a lot of blush to compensate. But if you’ve got a big nose, just play it up, and if you have a pimple, put on the pimple cream in a way that will make it really stand out- “There! I use pimple cream!” There’s a difference.
I am on the page 189 now. A great book! Perfect for reading in a lounge. Emotional and represents Andy from the several sights.
Listening
It happened that I watched the HARD TALK on the BBC with a lawyer, Michael Mansfield.

It isn’t bad to watch with a dictionary in hands.
• Legislation
• Oblige
• Oppose
• And my favourite one: “I talk facts, you talk emotions.” – Stephen Sackur.
The Antichrist
I had gone to the cinema due to the director and had found the film very original…until the moment when a wife attempted to kill his husband.
I completed 2 tasks on re-writing a formal text into an informal one, did the tasks on reading with filling the gaps with the missing pieces.
I learnt the Quoting rules.
In addition to this, I went into vocabulary of rise and fall, go up and drop and reduction, decline, lows and highs, pie charts, bar charts, flowcharts and segments, etc. to prepare for IELTS. Also I went thought the IELTS task “Business and Industry” filling in the gaps with a suitable words – antonyms. I’ve got 11 out of 19 correct.
Vocabulary I got out of it:
• Revenue - money that a business or organization receives over a period of time, especially from selling goods or services.
• Shortage - situation in which there is not enough of something that people need. (A shortage of skilled labour. Water/food/housing shortage. Acute/chronic/severe shortage.)
• White- and blue-collar jobs. 1.) In banks, offices…2.) Factories, building sites…
• Lay off – stop employing people, because there is no work to do.
On the other hand, the passage, called “Visit London's Science Museum” from IELTS was completed perfectly.
A bit more vocabulary:
• Newspapers are frequently accused of invasion of privacy by celebrities and other media stars.
• The government was trying to suppress freedom of speech.
• Upbeat – (adj.) making you feel that good things will happen. Opposed to - downbeat.
• Media/property/business/newspaper tycoon.
I am sure, I have forgot something, which I don't remember now. Let it be.

You still can watch till that moment and thank yourself for not being a fool and staying at home.

I hope there is no accusation in your eyes, my dear reader, but I'm back to report on my ACADEMIC STUDIES again.
The verbs were on agenda. Here: http://www.uefap.com/accuracy/accfram.htm
Read through and completed the tasks I like on PASSIVE the most. Gained 87% there. Partly not perfect for my not-really-good concentration and partly confused by were/was and had been. Taks of this kind require concentration, which I also expect to train doing them.
I read Annie Leibovitz book till the page 140.

The decent people
October 6th - 12th
For these days no much self-study work was done. Andy Warhol’s book first of all was being read till the page 170. I will probably quote some extracts from there, but a bit later.
Second, I properly started to study on the EUfAP.com. This is a source for the training of Accuracy, Listening, Writing, Speaking etc.
I started my journey from a part on Accuracy.
http://www.uefap.com/accuracy/accfram.htm - read here how this skill is important.
http://www.uefap.com/accuracy/accfram.htm - I did this task but without writing. I was waiting for more exciting tasks to come. But still this one is useful for it covers many fields of knowledge.
Proof-read
This page is important in every single way.http://www.uefap.com/accuracy/accfram.htm
Read Pascal's funny words, learn how to read properly, view an article about Janis Joplin and what's more, a thilling task for finding the mistakes in a text. Pull the arrows to the wrong words and see the right variant.
Hightly recommended.

A manual:How to work on vocabulary?
October 5th
As I promised I would reflect my work on vocabulary here, so let me take Andy Warhol’s pieces.
There are several types of vocabulary: one, which I translate to 1.) understand the meaning of the text better 2.) memorise the words, which will be remembered in some time after being seen several times, but I don’t write them out, for I consider I won’t be using them in the near future, or they just sound dull. The second type of vocabulary gets written down. This is vocabulary I work on.
I must also mention that I first read a text till the moment I wish to read underling the unknown words. When I stop my reading I take a dictionary.
One more thing: If don’t want to open the monolingual dictionary, don’t open any other. Wait till you want to do it!
Shuffle – mix playing card. Think of a situation, when you use this word. I always make up such an example, where someone speaks. You sit in a local pub. Your friend wants to play cards. You take the cards from your pocket and give them out. Your friend shouts at you: “Shuffle the cards first!” So this way I memorise the word. I don’t write this down. This is done to remember the emotion, which I have in connection with this word. What is left after this in my Vocabulary Notebook? A word itself and some popular phrases with it. It’s my turn to shuffle and shuffle the cards.
You must clearly understand what is important to write down and what is not. For instance, I would hardly ever note the American English, slang, food or words related to medicine. The selection part is the most valuable, because you choose how you would like to speak or write. I mean, if you are so good at language that a wart is a word you are keen to remember, that’s your choice but not mine.
Drip – let liquid fall in drops. The tap is dripping. Her hair was dripping. Drip blood/water/sweat etc. His arm is dripping blood. Drop down/from etc. Water was dripping through the ceiling. In a dictionary are many more ways to use this word, but let it be. Not only write, but do not read too much.
Try to write down phrases more then words.
Have a one-track mind - continuously think about one particular thing, especially sex.
Don’t write the word or phrase you already know.
A drag – (informal) - something or someone that is boring. Don't be such a drag! Come to the party.
Or - Something that is annoying and continues for a long time. It's a real drag having to travel so far to work every day.
I didn’t write in drag, I knew it.
From scratch - if you start something from scratch, you begin it without using anything that existed or was prepared before. We had to start again from scratch.
Other for today:
Dunk
Doze off - to go to sleep, especially when you did not intend to. = drop off, nod off.
Rub
That is all for this hour, because I feel tired after looking up many words. Many of them I don’t have here, for they are too specific. (I have looked thought 21 pages.)
Actually, it is a good idea to learn POPULAR words and phrases, which are used all around and about. This is the another story, though.
What do I do next when I have the words in my Notebook? I look at them for some time for many days, till I feel I know them well. But still I think that the more you read the broader vocabulary you have, even without doing much work with it.

How Andy puts his Warhol on?
October 2nd-3rd-4th
It seems, that weekends turn into the days of massive reading.
Annie Leibovitz continues to recount what her life was like. She was so much into other people and their life stories that she forgot to make her own. “The life through the lens”, I guess that is a name of the documentary about Annie, tells perfectly about her unstoppable professional career, full with different projects and aspects of photography, but which also rejected any chances on her personal life. (65-100 pages read.)
What’s more, I have got Andy’s book now. “The Philosophy of Andy Warhol”.
So here he writes: "In the late 50s I started an affair with my television set which has continued to the present, when I play around in my bedroom with as many as four at a time. But I didn't get married until 1964 when I got my first tape recorder. My wife. My tape recorder and I have been married for ten years now. When I say "we", I mean my tape recorder and me. A lot of people don't understand that."
Or
"In "Tub Girls" the girls had to take baths with people in tubs. They met in a tub. And a girl would have to carry her tub to the next person she'd have to take a bath with, so she'd put her tub under her arm and carry her tub...We used a clear plastic tub."
I also worked on vocabulary. When I read I mark the unknown words, which I look up later, when a chapter or some part of reading is finished.
It will be introduced in the next post.

"In "Tub Girls" the girls had to take baths with people in tubs. They met in a tub. And a girl would have to carry her tub to the next person she'd have to take a bath with, so she'd put her tub under her arm and carry her tub...We used a clear plastic tub."
I also worked on vocabulary. When I read I mark the unknown words, which I look up later, when a chapter or some part of reading is finished.
It will be introduced in the next post.

After a little break I’m coming back.
I thought about a new structure a bit, so from now you can find the divisions into Sport, Photography, Reading, Dictionary Work, Academic Work, Listening, Watching and Supplement.
Watching and Sport come together. The Hancock’s Half Hour is an influential British comedy of the 50s.

When a national newspaper asked for its definition of 'Britishness', the most quoted reply was this: "Being British is about driving in a German car, wearing Italian clothes, heading to an Irish pub for a Belgian beer and some Greek olives, then going for an Indian curry washed down with some Australian beer before going home to collapse on your Swedish furniture to watch American shows on a Japanese TV. And the most British thing of all? Being suspicious of anything foreign."
