Happy Life.

[eredien]

So. I saw Willow for the first time, which I now consider to be one of the best movies for sheer fun-value I've ever seen. I mean, it's great! The Brownies don't act human (hint: faries aren't supposed to - they're not). The love-interest says, "last night 'your life would have been dark without me', and now 'the feeling's gone away'?!?" And there was halfway decent choreographed swordfighting.

And I read The Books of Magic (Gaiman) that was good, and made my head hurt. But not like Sandman did, more like Picasso does. But on a literary level.

And Gaudior got into NYU, and Homasse got offered another year in Japan, and I'm going to Boston for Fall Break.

And I've finished the Illiad - Chapman's translation.

And Rush-that-Speaks did this thing, you see, with Greek. That Is Good.

And I'm ready to take on the world.
Or at least get through this weekends' worth of homework.

Goodnight, all. Dream well.

How does Picasso make your head hurt?

Good: I am glad.

Picasso makes my head hurt because he is like perspective in my dreams gone wrong and made static, with form but less physical "shape" behind them...that makes no sense. Start again.

You know that bit in one of the Madeline L'engle books where they take the children to the world where they are smooshed flat and all out of shape? Picsso does that to the stuff in my dreams, but then leaves them there. They are only outline when he is done with them, and not "solids" like I get in dream-perspective, where there's outside and inside of a building at the same time, or outside and inside a person at the same time. So it looks right except that it's too blocky and all "hollow ".

Also, I think that some of the abstract artists went too far in exploring only form and color until it became meaningless and nothing was represented anymore, not even form and color. Except maybe things like this painting of a cow that I saw over the summer that was only blocks of color, titled, "Cow," but showed the blocky movements of the cow through form and shape. That was neat.

Yoda-speak.

Yes. Wrote you letter today about dates, I did.

Oh, good. I will await its arrival. That wasn't supposed to come out in Yoda-speak . . . The scary thing is that I didn't even notice anything odd about the grammar until you commented. I think I was accidentally using Latin sentence structure, or something . . . I do that sometimes. :-)
