Song of today (and every fucking day of yet another unbearable winter): Alanis Morissette - I'm a bitch I'm a lover
I hate the world today
You're so good to me I know
But I can't change...
Spring, don't keep me waiting.

Some kind of short theorising?
Squeee I got third place in song styles. *first ever ET-art contest recognition (photo contest doesn't count)*
And dudelars, seriously. Star watching X-Men Fan Art Contest Revisited. That is going to be some of the most stunning fan-art ever. Go there now to see [Rennie]'s entry. It is fabulous.
**Update**
You missed it. The fabulous entry by [Rennie] is now only in the page history, because even she is taking the contest so seriously that she thought she could do better than that amazing piece of Rogue and Wolverine she had up. By now you really need to start watching that contest.
sorry, need to bring this up again:
Don't forget

My Nightcrawler is so fuzzy and smexy... :3
Today's goal: to eat the whole roast chicken alone.
Today's wish (not in accordance with Today's Goal): I wish Darling will come and help me eat the roast chicken.

Both failed :(
Wolf Herzogenrath: Time in the work of Dan Graham and Nam June Paik
Published in "Art & Time" an exhibition catalogue for the Barbican Art Gallery, 1986
-Matyjaszkiewi
The time factor always plays a role in our perception of art, no matter whether it is a painting, a sculpture or a sketch that we are looking at. The eye always has to explore a work of art (the whole work, details, possible readings, strong points...) before understanding, memories and knowledge can transform perception into a lived experience, the parts into a whole. Looking at sculpture or architechture obviously takes time, as we have to move around the object in question to see it as a whole. Time also plays an essential role in the genesis, reconstitution and perception of works which take place over a period of time, whose form develop successively.
Speaking of the work of Nam June Paik
The time we experience does not flow smoothly; it is modified by emotions born out of images and representation
In his text 'Input Time Output Time' (1975) Nam June Paik defines two authentic concepts of time: "The artificial time that is produced and transmitted, and the real time that is lived and received."
Ilya Prigogine and Serge Pahaut: "Rediscovering Time"
Same publication as above.
Consider duration, or time as it is experienced... Duration implies both the preservation of the past and the anticipation of the future.
About Aristotle's distinction between change of place and qualitative change (movement and alteration)
All physics concentrate upon time as movement; it was assumed that time as qualitative change was beyond the scope of physics.
Umberto Eco: Times - Preface in "The Story of Time" by Kirsten Lippincott
-Lippincott, K. et al (1999) The Story of Time, London, Merrell Holberton Publishers
Speaking of an idea by St. Augustine
A period of time is long through a succession of many movements which cannot be extended within the same period of time
and
Time is an extension or an entending movement of the soul
and
We can measure neither the past, nor the present, nor the future (since these never exist) and yet we do measure time
Not Eco, but same book, so Lippincott:
The Sun... is used as the primary time-keeper in almost every culture on Earth. (What? We have to say the bullshit bleeding obvious in uni-essays... >.<)
If I were Nightcrawler, I'd frequently keep my tail comfortably over my shoulder, folded so it would slightly resemble a halo whem I'm praying (so I could include it into the drawing... >_>)
X-Men Fan art contest Revisited impresses me.
Found from a member's house:
One night a guy & a girl were driving home from the movies. The boy sensed there was something wrong because of the painful silence they shared between them that night. The girl then asked the boy to pull over because she wanted to talk. She told him that her feelings had changed & that it was time to move on. A silent tear slid down his cheek as he slowly reached into his pocket & passed her a folded note. At that moment, a drunk driver was speeding down that very same street. He swerved right into the drivers seat, killing the boy. Miraculously, the girl survived. Remembering the note, she pulled it out & read it. "You stupid bitch, you were supposed to drive home"
Raise your hand if you're sick of dumb shit like this. Now use that hand to slap the fuck out of whoever has one.
*raises hand* *watches everybody elses hands rise* Not just me then?
*sigh* New Herald issue. (Yes I read it). And an article we have here: TH 12 Article - Modern Art. Makes me cringe. Not because I like abstract art, but because from the Art point of view, it is written by a complete thick-head (and I know the author is not like that).
Instead of whining here in my diary, I wish to approach the Herald at some point to make a similar essay on the next issue to defend post-modern art, since, after all, any artist working today is a post-modernist, for the simple reason that modernism ended quite some time ago.
But still... this article really makes me cringe.
I'm sick -_-

From non-virgin pride:
Okay I'm sure no ones gonna come here but if you do dear hearts thank you. As of late I've gotten pissed off at all the virgin pride shit around and people preaching to me about how wrong I am.Well here's a peice of advice for them...stop giving me peices of advice!I lost my virginity by choice and its a choice I'd make again.true,I'm not married,I'm only in my early teens,and I probally should have had one less beer.But thats not the point!I'm GLAD I'm not a virgin.If you are like me this is the place for you...okay so...*sigh*I'm gonna stop typing now
Okay look at it this way. You have high expectations of sex. You want your first time to be special. You keep yourself away from sex, though, for the sake of holy matrimony, and then you meet this wonderful like-minded person, who has safed him/herself as well.
You get to know eachother and though you are both very curious about sex, you refrain from action in that region, as you are not married.
You really do want to have sex, though, so after a few months you get engaged and get married. All the while the sexual tension is rising.
The wedding day is a great success, you both look ravaging and you really want to get at it. You hurry the vows, make it to the hotel-room and have the most horrible experience of your life.
You are not sexually compatible.
Believe me, it is possible for a couple to be spiritually linked, but completely sexually incompatible, and believe me, you will only find out trying. So now you're stuck with bad sex for the rest of your life - or are you going to have an affair? Maybe a divorce?
As for myself: I'm really glad I've got experience on the subject of physical love. Furthermore, I am glad my girlfriend has experience on the subject as well. Because of our experiences with other - less compatible - persons, we now have no reason whatsoever to try other people. No affairs, because we know for a fact that the sex will not be better.
Oh, and practice makes perfect.
If you really love someone, you'll be glad if that extra bit of practice makes you a great lover. Take it from the expert...
I agree on the whole "don't give me advice" -stuff, that's what makes those Virgin Priders so unbearable most of the time. Well, makes most people unbearable to be honest. O_o;
But am I the only one who sees a contradiction? "Don't wait for marriage to have sex, it's going to be awful! And then you're doomed for a life of bad sex! REmember, practice makes perfect!" Duh. Married people can practice sex together, with the whole trust-thing between each other: :no dear don't do that, do like this..."
And just because this person had the worst first time (drunk and teeny? Doesn't sound like a good combination to me), doesn't mean that everyone does. Basically I resent the whole "you need to practice with other people" -thing? How come? Why not practice with the one you love, the one you'll be with for (hopefully) the rest of your life? Why do you have to learn through other people what you like and what they like? And why would you even care? Are you going to tell your spouse "My ex-boyfriend Number 5 used to do this with his tongue and I really liked that"? I think he'd like to find it out in a different way... Could be just me though.
If you really love someone, you'll be glad if that extra bit of practice makes you a great lover.
What? That's just... *pukes* It's even worse than those "If you really love me you'll blow me" -phrases some guys come up with. "Look hun, I love you so much that even before I knew you I had sex with bunch of people so I could please you the best way possible." >.O
In a wiki like this, I'd prefer a message saying "have sex, but don't go around"; more pride in that, instead of this whole slutty thing that comes from this page.
Maybe I'm just too old to get the reasoning of this wiki.
-_-;
I got a message from someone that implied that I was their true love and that I should tell all about myself to them before shipping myself to him as a mail-order wife.
Because I'm smart, I deleted every message I wrote back before sending it, and then deleted the message he sent to me, but my replies varied from poking him hard on the unpleasant bits with sharp pencils; to explaining that my husband doesn't like weird paedos messaging me and that in the end he can't really know if I'm truly pretty or even female.
o.O;
*sigh*
Don't you just hate it when you open the door and someone else on the other side is also going to open it, so everyone is scared out of their heads with the surprise?
Don't you just hate it all the more because you're singing "Should I stay or should I go" by The Clash when the incident happens? -_-;
Wow. Some third-years circled around today giving free food. They had had a cake sale thing, and they were giving the left-overs to people... :D I was in the computer-room when this happened, and some graphic design boys were sitting by me and they said "free food, that's way too embarrassing." I told them it's not and went to get my share. I also told the third-years that if there's still something left after they've gone to everywhere, they should leave it in the fifth floor and I'd just help myself again later.
Learn it people: free food and tasting things in public etc... is not awkward or embarrassing. It's fun, mmkay?
