Useful references if I ever go for that Donald Duck fan-arty cover drawing thing... *wants*

Occupation: hermit

From a memberhouse:
If you REALLY LIKE SOMEONE right now AND MISS THEM and can't get them out of your head then

I swear that was it. That was the very end of the bio. Nothing after 'then'. I know it was prolly a mistake, but I appreciate the philosophical quality here: "if you miss someone then... decide for yourself what the hack you should do you worthless lazy worm. Copy-pasting shit is not going to prove anything! Do something about it!"

I need to mention the thing that made me smile yesterday.

I went to home for lunch, and as I walked by the quite busy big road, a white VolksWagon van came from the opposite direction. A young guy was driving, and as he passed, he honked his horn, except it wasn't a horn-sound but the sound of Tarzan flinging from tree to tree ("Ooooleoooleoooleeooleoo!"). I was smiling at the cool honk-sound, he was smiling because he made me smile (I hope :P). It was cool.

Ok foreigners, help me out. :P
one more.

Proof that you can't always go right and sound cool by choosing a Japanese username:

A user here in their house explains about how their nickname came to be and what it means. Unfortunately sometimes a word in one language means 'victory' (japanese) and in another (hindi) that same word means 'women's underwear'. o.O;; I have problems in replying that member's comments without laughing really loudly, and I try not to do that because I don't know how an offensive word iippo is in some language. But still, Nickers is a funny word to use as a name.

Last visitors of [ippopa] (hope you see the link why I find it funny):

This house gets visited by more people I know than my house does! :O

On a march of twelve miles, eleven is halfway.

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.

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:

My Nightcrawler is so fuzzy and smexy... :3

Today's goal: to eat the whole roast chicken alone.

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
-Matyjaszkiewicz, K. (ed) Art & Time (1986) London, Barbican Art Gallery (Exhibition catalogue)

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 representations.

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?
