Quotable Quotes:

Show me someone who never gossips, and I'll show you someone who isn't interested in people.

~ Barbara Walters

A Rose, Is A Rose, Is A Rose...

Art is subjective.
Art is unique.
Are makes you feel something.
Art doesn't have to mean anything specifically.
It can.
Sometimes it does.
But really, who cares?!
Jonathan Jones has an awesome article over at Guardian.co.uk talking about how art doesn't have to mean something to be amazing.
And often, it doesn't.

Blue 22! HIKE!

Art-See 3

Have you ever watched the Alien movies ?

Well if you have then you've seen some of H.R Giger's artistry.

Giger has a much darker and more twisted view than most and it comes through beautifully in his paintings and sculptures.
He has his own museum in Gruyères, Switzerland. 
It's a life goal of mine to visit this place before I die.
And, fun fact, rumor has it that our study abroad trip will be going through Switzerland next year.
*Squee!*

I... Kind-Of Do?

Not really.
Jenni shot Michael and I in a faux wedding today.
She wanted examples to show some people for jobs so we, along with Allyson and Chelsea, helped her out.
It was so much fun!
The weather was kinda chilly, but it was a good time.
I'll link some of the pictures one they work them up.

Quotable Quotes:

"Love: A temporary insanity, curable by marriage."
~ Ambrose Bierce

And Now For Something Completely Different

I'm putting a particular comic strip from XKCD on here for two reasons:
1. I love the comic in general.
2. This strip is amazing and I know some people who will be highly amused by it.

 That is all.

Assimilation

One day robots are going to rule the world with us as their underlings.
...
Okay, not really.
Hopefully.
BUT there are leaps and bounds in robotic technology going on.
Take this little guy for instance:

There's an article about this guy, called ROPID, over at Engadget.
I'm still trying to decide if I think he's completely adorable or more than a little creepy.

Quotable Quotes:

"Do you think we were all created for a purpose? I'd like to think so."

~Sonny, from I, Robot
