woohoo!
signed up for another life drawing class...
mornings are filled with reading the various news websites,
drinking flavored coffee, and dreading whichever project is dumped
on my desk...
it's morning now, and i'm transitioning from the news to the projects,
trying hard to find something to distract me, to no avail.
*sigh*

waking up
some people wake up earlier than others...
i haven't been remembering my dreams for quite a while now, years i would guess.
there is a belief out there, aboriginal i think, that this day-to-day life, is really only a dream, and we are the dreamers. reality, they say, is the time when we sleep, when we are experiencing true reality.
when a dreamer experiences anothers waking moment,
does it appear that they die?
some people just wake up earlier...

books
"the most technologically efficient machine that man has ever invented is the book."
- northrop frye
it's funny that i've never seen that quote before. (got it off the thinkexist quotes site)
i love books, always have. memories of my childhood seem to consistently involve books.
reading my parents encyclopedias in the family room. leafing thru my stacks of comicbooks, looking for one i hadn't read 5 times already. hiding in my room, reading 'the happy hooker', lending it to friends at school. sitting in the back of u.s. history, reading h.beam.piper, or some other scifi book, answering the teacher's occasional question, meant to draw me back into the classroom, then going back to my book.
even now, almost every program i write, seems to be modeled after a book, or a comicbook. i like to think of it as my "comicbook framework" for design...
