Post Number 50

First off, I should probably point out that I did not take the photographs or make the artworks in the slideshow below (in this post), I digitally manipulated them for a uni assignment. The original photographs of the original artwork are here, here, and here.




There was a bear on the train today.

Which is always nice.

Before I Breathe

So today is the day spent waiting before prac. My folders are organised, my clothes are clean, my call to the school is made. And I'm just... waiting.



Yesterday I handed in the assignment I was working on over the weekend, the environmental art one. I had a shadowy memory of a related Calvin and Hobbes in the back of my head, so I went to the searchable database and found it.

Also, here's a legible version.

Beginnings

So. I've not had huge amounts of success with blogging before (I'm too lazy) but let's see how I go.

Anyway, what to expect: a catalogue of madnesses, things I fall passionately in love with in the short term and the long term, and possibly some not-madnesses.

Basically so my family can experience my self-obsession, even over long distances. Tee-hee-hee.

Today's new obsessions:

• Pan's Labyrinth (that movie in Spanish): very shiny if a little brutal in parts. Reminds me very much of MirrorMask in that they're both really Alice stories. Which is a good thing; I love Alice, especially Through the Looking Glass.
  
• Environmental art: not just for hippies. This is for a uni thing. Imagine, a uni thing that's actually fun! I think my head exploded from joy during the first tute. I especially love:

Christo and Jeanne-Claude: The Gates, Central Park, New York City, 1979-2005

Carlotta Brunetti: Floating Clouds

• Louie Giglio's The Air I Breathe: I read it on the train today, and it is a wonderful book for if you are feeling, through busyness or fatigue or whatever, a bit 'meh' about God. I've been smiling all day, and it made me want to go and read Psalms.
