song & thoughts

SONG: The Crane Wife part 3 by the Decemberists

And under the boughs unbowed
All clothed in a snowy shroud
She had no heart so hardened
All under the boughs unbowed

Each feather, it fell from skin
Until threadbare, she grew thin
How were my eyes so blinded?
Each feather, it fell from skin

And I will hang my head, hang my head low
And I will hang my head, hang my head low

A gray sky, a bitter sting
A rain cloud, a crane on the wing
All out beyond horizon
A gray sky, a bitter sting

And I will hang my head, hang my head low
And I will hang my head, hang my head low

I think for the sketchbook that is due tomorrow I will do thumbnails on either "Since I only see inside of me/ What brain imagines outside me," from the poem i chose or "Until threadbare, she grew thin" from the song i chose, i don't really know yet, and should probably get on that.

Poem

So last winter my family and I went to a play at Portland Center Stage called R. Buckminster Fuller: The HISTORY (and MYSTERY) of the Universe, and I LOVED IT. It wasn't necessarily a play, more like a one man show and he just went into all this stuff about this dude. Just as a child he was so interesting and just everything he thought about blows me away, so I chose a poem that he wrote...

Cosmic Plurality

by R. Buckminster Fuller

Environment to each must be

All there is, that isn't me.

Universe in turn must be

All that isn't me AND ME.

Since I only see inside of me

What brain imagines outside me,

It seems to be you may be me.

If that is so, there's only we.

Me and we, too

Which love makes three,

Universe

Perme-embracing

It-Them-You-and-We.

What I Found

I started looking at some of Gustave Caillebotte's pieces today and this one jumped out at me.

I really like the values and the shine on the floor and the movement of the people. Its called "The Floor Strippers". In general, most of his pieces have really good light and dark values in my opinion. Anyways I just really like his work, especially this one

I think I will try and paint this, but not as detailed as I usually would, so it will be a stretch, but I'm really excited about it because I like the picture.

Successful fail

WEELLLLLLL i finally figured it out, and I've decided movie theaters are stupid. But I'm still going to the earliest showing i can, at 10:05 am. Those tickets are cheap cheap too I believe, which is nice, but still disappointing.

Oh we're in school then. Never mind.

where the wild things are: the search

So, basically, I'm extremely excited to see Where the Wild Things Are.

Right now, rather than doing my homework, I am looking for a theater that would have a midnight premiere to go to, and apparently I'm really bad at using the internet because movie show-time websites confuse me A LOT.

Anyways, I feel as though I should re-read the book, because I don't really remember anything about it besides loving it.
