GRGR 1,2 pixilated / manners / Pynchon Notes

[Cometman]

I was introduced to the word "pixilated" in a detective story, I think,
and have seen it used to good effect to describe the effects of
alcohol.  

It's not usually used in a favorable sense, although my first
inclination would be to think "oh, lovable drunk" - just because pixies
are on the surface cute (though the darker aspects of fairyland are
common, for instance in the Grimm's Blue and Red Fairy Book - reading
them as a kid I could hardly believe these were supposed to be stories
for kids) but here in 1,2, the person is not depicted as attractive
either.

Anyway, I've run across "pixilated" enough times that I would never
have thought to read it as "pixel-ated" though in a phantasmagoria
(particularly a Pynchon phantasmagoria) anything ought to go.

Would point out though that pixels belong to the digital world.  I
don't know about IMAX and so forth, but at the time of the action and
the time of the writing, movie projectors were analog, weren't they?  

However, nothing would prevent the movie that we're supposedly watching
in the scene from being run on TV...with appropriate editing,
commercials etc...and then the tramp would be made of pixels

I meant, please let me know where and how to download it, if it's
freely available, or what arrangements would be necessary if it costs.

somebody asked about back issues of Pynchon Notes, and I think I saw
yesterday (while surfing some of the links found here) that back issues
are online somewhere
