Cupcakes, what amazing things to bring people together. Tomorrow I'm going to give Leo his birthday cupcakes Chantal and I made for him, and with his cake addiction I'm sure he's going to like them.
I'm halfway done both the Origin books, because I woke up at 3 am and had nothing else to do that was quiet for my roommates besides reading until 7 am. Not that the consideration seems to be mutual, one of them is up with her friends doing their hair and singing loudly, screaming. I don't mind too much, until I need to sleep. Otherwise I'm actually a fan of being a girl, being an emotional creature and having fun and being brave but - I have an 8am class.Also! Moths, still on my favourite-things-ever list. May or may not start a collection, maybe even frame it and hang it somewhere in my room (because all the owls just weren't creepy enough). How they navigate is still a question mark but most people assume it's a form of celestial navigation called transverse orientation. By maintaining a constant angular relationship to a bright celestial light, aka moon, they can fly in a straight line. But other people say the reason for moths circling lights may have to do with a visual distortion called a Mach band. In the pursuit of cover and safety, moths fly towards the dark areas of the sky and are thus inclined to circle ambient objects in the Mach band region. I find moths endlessly fascinating and a source of inspiration, so they may crop up from time to time.
Today was a great day overall, even though the animator I was supposed to help with his film never showed up, I still got to talk to a bunch of great people and see wonderful progress. Good luck you guys, you need it! I'll just be over here getting a nice long sleep if anyone needs me.
