• Column: The Joy of Add-Lines at allpoetry
  I'm contemplating removing add-lines because they don't get much use. But I thought I'd advertise them to see if people might find them more interesting if they knew about them.
  
  Get to them via the Read menu -> Addlines (near the bottom). Tr

  figure drawing and charcoal class continues. my charcoals are getting quite good, and i'm very proud of the last three I did, especially the big back piece... which i was ready to give up on a few days ago, but its great now that its finished I'm starting to realize using charcoal as a value study for other mediums isn't going to work as well ...

  figure drawing and charcoal class continues. my charcoals are getting quite good, and i'm very proud of the last three I did, especially the big back piece... which i was ready to give up on a few days ago, but its great now that its finished I'm starting to realize using charcoal as a value study for other mediums isn't going to work as well as I'd hoped. also that figure drawing and anatomy is a really really really difficult thing that will take more time than i really feel like throwing at it. I hate it when a discipline suddenly seems to be as difficult as everyone else has made it seem - i love it when things come naturally and you don't have to work very hard for them.
  
  i reorganized the library/baby room, took down one of the bookshelves, put a bunch of books i don't want to read very often in tupperwares in storage. installed the blinds (finally) - the continuous cord loop system has irritatingly to be attached to the wall now, so its not so easy to use them. sometime safety is irritating, but i suppose i'll have to get over that with having kids soon.
  
  lately i've decided writing reviews of things you watch/read makes you remember them much better!
  
  movie reviews:
  
  avatar: best movie i've seen in awhile. such a wonderful utopian view of what life could be like. so what if its naive and the warrior-race really is probably pretty anti-woman and expressive and has authoritarian discipline and a poorly communicative or representational ruling class. or that they're rude and mean. the living world i believed in was very inspiring and i left the movie wishing that i could stay... i found jake's acceptance as one of them very surprising to the point of disbelieve, but it worked with what i wanted to hear so i let it go. his transformation from no legs to avatar creature was so beautiful i cried (alot). it spoke of coming of age in a different way - becoming the creature and person you were always mean to be. they portrayed his navu character so powerfully and capably, it spoke to the inner confidence we could all have..
  
  alice in wonderland:
  the 3d wasn't nearly as compelling as it was for avatar. I liked the premise wrapped around the novel. or perhaps it was in the novel and I just don't recall very well - i haven't' read it since i was a tee...
