Oops! That's not Cambridge, it's my facemates Ruth and Dashe, with their sea monkeys! Ruth is being cute, and Dashe is holding Andre Dawson. The sea monkeys are crowned with a yellow Peep. Back to the presnow:

Rendering Fun of the Day

This picture is a model / rendering I did for a Japanese architecture class; it's a 1954 house by an architect named Seike. After rendering the model, I decided it needed a Japanese Barbie to really bring out the best features of the work.

From Storr, "Music and the Mind"

"People usually complain that music is so ambiguous that it leaves them in such doubt as to what they are supposed to think, whereas words can be understood by everyone. But to me it seems exactly the opposite." -- Felix Mendelssohn

"Poetry proper is never merely a higher mode (melos) of everyday language. It is rather the reverse: everyday language is a forgotten and therefore used-up poem, from which there hardly resounds a call any longer." -- Heidegger
