cimorenethe cats are in the process of killing a really beautiful butterfly. i just found a shred of its wing on the back of the couch. and i was trying to carry it outside, but my catching mission went awry and it flew down behind the radiator and now it will be dead when i come back here this afternoon.
this seems like some kind of depressing symbol for something.
its wings are sort of iridescent burnt orange, somewhat darker than a monarch's, with black on the edges.
wax has more time for making icons than i do and she does it faster, because my weird ocd tendencies suck me into this vortex of photoshop from which i cannot emerge for like three days, and then i come out vague and blinking without having eaten in between. but when i see other people's new icons, especially hers, i get anxious, with this horrible compulsion to go make them myself. resist! i tell myself. but i am weak. i've made about four or five recently, which represent probably ten hours of the last week. (you see i am exercising restraint.)
why is the poli sci department housed in the computer sciences building? ("it's like the university was organised by a small child, or one of those absent-minded professors whose houses are covered in crap," i ranted at wax. "no, see," she said, "it's because it's grown organically." oh, for spain.*)
* from some stand-up comedy routine my dad likes. the comedian's elementary school teacher told her columbus discovered america, and she said, "but i thought there were already people there." and her teacher said condescendingly, "no, he discovered it for spain." "ohhhhhhh," said the comedian, "for spain."

Regarding icons
Date: 5 Sep 2005 01:24 pm (UTC)In the event you haven't seen the film: The main character expends a great deal of angst over the seemingly beautifully rendered ... business cards ... of his co-workers and rivals. The funny thing is - as a viewer, you really can't tell the difference.
Oh but icons! I can totally see how you would get sucked into that void.
