As much as I love my roommates, one of them got me sick. Which means no artificial sugars, very few natural ones, and no dairy. Lots of tea, too, and soup. What a fun way to be stuck inside the house. But beyond online job applications, I can finally get down to reading the books I've meant to, and watching some of the documentaries I missed out on. On Friday or Saturday I'm hopefully going downtown with Chantal, one last fun trip before we both have to work our butts off for any kind of pay. Really, I just need enough money to make it through 4th year and then I'm golden~ Speaking of - I haven't thought much about my thesis, I'm not sure anyone has. When you're allowed to do anything you want, you start to wonder what do you want to draw about. I'm still figuring that out, but I know my reading and movie watching, information gathering isn't going to waste. So far I know I really enjoy: play of light, insects and physics, cosmology, cree language and art, owls, buddhist philosophy, the idea of lace or transparency, and coffee. Okay the last one is a cop out, but I do like herbs and natural teas, and drying plants? Does that count?
And because I can't seem to shake my obsession with moths : the color in a moths' wings do not come from pigment. The color is produced prism-like by light reflected by their transparent wing scales.
