“And to make an end is to make a beginning.” -T.S. Eliot

After taking a course in photography, it easy for me to see how a simple change in a picture’s color can push me to feel a different way. For example:

This picture is my least favorite of the three versions. My sister’s socks jut out in the corner. Although the angle of the shot holds a [...]

i don’t like the person blasting music outside my window.

for some reason i am still stuck on the depiction of women in movies or now i guess it has spilled over to every medium. I am not sure that I know what an ideal woman is or even what makes woman just that. If the ideal female is passive, stay-at-home, barefoot and pregrant then [...]

the hotel windows

I think I just want to leave it at wow right now.
I am confused by the hotel window scenes. I had a theory about one minute ago (haha no lie) that everything after the psych ward was just in his mind or something a long those lines… but then the hotel window… at first he [...]

always more than I can chew…

Is there a thing as “superficial art”. I am going to say no. First I think I want to touch upon the definition of art. I decided to look it up because I guess I too consider someone else’s words better than my own, but what i found was:

To be an artist-

“Art can only mean something to the artist who creates it.”
I found these lines a little unsettling, although i feel like this is a reaccuring issue throughout the semester and that I have heard them before. Where are we all connected, if we are at all? Are we all chained to one another like circus [...]

uh… um…

So class today made me wonder … why do people hesitate and pause. Being a budding linguist, especially interested in discourse analysis, I find this question very appealing. I haven’t yet had the chance to take Sociolinguistics but… from intro i think i remember having a discussion about pausing in regards to turn taking, creating [...]

Shadows are more real then objects.

I’ve decided that the subtle aspects of Fast, Cheap and Out of Control are so numerous that I can’t tell if there is a reason that things are there and shown or if it just happened that way. Today in class, Sam pointed out the shadows of the mole rats on the title screen. I [...]
