So what I have been musing about all day (since I’m playing hooky from summer classes on a rainy Miami day) is art. I’ve done some wallpaper searching (interfacelift.com and a lot of deviantart.com) and then I thought about something I saw posted on a website a few months back. DNA art. Ok, I’m lying. I only thought about DNA art for like ten minutes. Maybe twenty. I did think a lot about whether or not my university wireless network is going to kick me off when I go back to campus tomorrow. Since today, I did some BitTorrent file sharing. Today? It was for the Classroom-In-A-Book series for the new Adobe CS3 (that was done about three weeks ago…last week, made out with Aperture). I’m just going to say, no one is going to make me feel bad about pirating. Why? Because I am a college student, who seeks to learn everything Mac-related that is humanly possible. That includes using programs that I have always been blithely fascinated by (Adobe anything, Aperture and some others that I just haven’t gotten around to yet), because I very much enjoy being a pro. With that being said, I am a college student, therefore broke. I couldn’t afford CS3 unless I knocked over every 7-11 within a five-mile radius of my house. Anyway, I found this interesting website last night, onesentence.org. It’s people writing a single sentence to sum up either something in their life, a significant event or life in general. Some of that stuff is hilarious, other ones are particularly sobering. Either way, I’m working to be inspired these days, so, using my new favorite program Journler, I have taken some of the really funny or really good sentences (in my humble opinion) and am working on using them as the inspiration for a collection of short short stories. It forces me to think about the history of a sentence like “They say depression runs in my family, but that doesn’t help me much right now.”
