( A few more )
This is a bit old-school of me, I guess, but I really like MacPaint. You know, very old MacPaint. I never used it growing up because we only had Windows boxes in the house or IBMs running MS-DOS in the very early 90s...but I've always just loved what people have produced using it. There's a very interesting little page on the development of MacPaint here, and there are actually galleries of old MacPaint drawings all over the net... I've saved a number of them because, well, I just think they're neat. I actually have the MiniVMac emulator for openSUSE and other Linux distros, so if any of you Linux users would like to have a crack at it, I can send along the folder with the emulator and .DSK files and such. (It may work as it is on Windows and Macs, too. I wouldn't really know.) It's pretty easy to run! I've been fiddling with it for a few days now.Current Mood:  cheerful

I really have no explanation for this post. These are just what they look like: Keep Calm posters that parody famous works of philosophy. This is exactly the sort of thing that happens when I'm bored, in a philosophizing mood, and have internet access at 2:00 AM.
( Nine more nerdy philosophy parodies. )
...yeah.Current Mood:  awake

I finished reading Vitezslav Nezval's Valerie and Her Week of Wonders early yesterday. It was good, but the icing on the cake was an essay by Giuseppe Dierna at the end including analyses of Nezval and Max Ernst and themes in Surrealism. One particular recurrence in the Czech Surrealist works of the 30s (aside from animal masks...) was androgyny and the 'separation of the two,' which was also one of the major issues in Valerie. Of course, the whole thing was ganked from Greek mythology regarding the hermaphrodite, but this has always interested me, mostly because I feel that the concept of 'missing halves' in gender might affect both the relationships and the gender identity of individuals. It's something to think about, anyway.
--just not right now since it's like two in the morning.
May I add that I really hate getting up for 8:00 classes again?Current Mood:  blank
