so here's what i brought to last night's class. click on it for a larger version, and where you can really see the revealer reveal... ooh la.

chris liked the amorphous, amoeba-like shapes. somehow i have cravings for doughnuts and coffee [cups], all of sudden... :)

the readings for thursday are rather interesting. the 'dressed to kill' paper was pretty speculative, but had a lot of plausible (?) theories based on reeeeally limited information. honestly, i had to pretend i could see the pins in the engraving like the helpful little caption told me i could. and the 'biege epoch' is downright hilarious. i can't imagine the writer, the editor, or the publisher releasing that with a straight face. i mean, i would be impressed if it were actually well-written, but it's bad taste with bad writing! amazingly priceless.

hoping i can make the beginning of thursday's class...
