time, batman, shakespeare, Klee squares

it is 1:42AM at the current moment, the night of may 1st. technically, it is may 2nd, but that's by regimental time and not by biological time.

there was this god-awful batman tv show on today, and its plot was the same as an episode of magic school bus: person is ill, shrink to microscopic level to kill microorganisms. but this time, aquaman (a gung-ho mascot of the sea) and the atom (physicist doctor who likes plans) had to team up together and all that yada. at one point, aquaman calls a white blood cell for a steed to get through the capillaries, and names him 'platelet'. Atom says, 'that's fine, but it's a lymphocyte.' and i realized how much biology i know and what of it Ill be able to use after the AP exam.

yesterday i saw Toy Story, and realized just how amazing certain parts were. the little green men culture with the Claw, Mrs. Nesbit. Treasure Planet was also on today, and it may be one of the greatest versions of that story ive seen/read. The Great Illustrated version is good, and the Muppet version is... the Muppet version, but i mean treasure planet! dayamn that has nice characters.

reading a Midsummer Night's Dream in english. shakespeare makes so much more sense. there is enough information to get the point and story across, but there is also so much that is left to the imagination to fulfill. i, personally, think of Oberon and Titania as a cross between lord of the rings elves, troll dolls, and ancient pharohs.

i came back from seeing Wolverine. I read in the times that it was a bunch of action sequences with minimal story, but i got to check a few things off my list. 'Goddess' was checked off, 'Rejection of the Call', 'Belly of the Beast', 

i got pretty worked up today about not knowing what was happening with the squares of the mural. 'blending colors' can mean so many different things, and overactive imaginations don't exactly narrow down the meaning. i'm glad that i got to get my group to the color-blending point, as in we each had paint and tiles and assigned colors for each side. i wasnt really steady with people going 'what do we do now?' to me, as if i speak a magical language of art. i didnt like my tile. red and green clash too much, and it didn't feel right.

i would have preferred each person has a tile, with Klee-squares of their own color, and some connecting shapes/pattern into the next tile.

i like the tile projects a lot, though.

i'm really trying hard not to 'read people' from their artwork in regular art class. i'm pretty sure one girl at my table thinks people are all the same inside, and another girl sees people as steadiness in a changing (colorful) world. its so interesting.

i may be rejected from taking AP Psych next year due to not-A history grades. i don't understand what psychology, as a course, has to do with history. i understand why i needed to get a B or more in regents bio and chem to get into AP bio, but AP Psych is a whole nother sport. plus i intend to take the course to learn, not so that i can put it on a resume.
