I re-read my last post and it did quite well to betray my state at the time, although I've written much funnier / surreal things when on the verge of sleep. In any case, nothing much to report in the past few days as I catch up with work and chores.
Link of the day: http://orwelldiaries.wordpress.com/
What is it: a website dedicated to publishing daily entries from George Orwell's diary. Bostonian weather has certainly come a-calling. The weather for the last few days have been chilly and cold and rainy - what one would generally associate with this city. I used to think one only writes about weather when one has nothing else to say. Orwell proved me wrong. He's quite the writer, authoring classroom classics like Animal Farm and 1984, but if you look through his diary entries, he devotes quite a bit of his ink to observing nature, especially the weather and ripening of vegetables. In fact, he almost begins his every entry with a line or two about the weather. I suppose this is no different from art. Artists-in-training are always encouraged to sketch constantly in their sketchbooks and the most obvious things to observe and record are weather-related, as weather changes from day to day.
Artist of the day: George Innes
Who is he: a landscape painter of the mid-late 19th century. I first saw one of his "approaching storm" paintings and was drawn by the way he used a bright reddish orange near the center of his composition to "gather in the storm." It was a very daring feat since the bright color will inevitably draw the viewer to the center of the painting first and hold him captive, preventing the eye to take in the rest of the work. Perhaps it was the proportion of colors he used or it was the way he surreptitiously carried the colors throughout his piece in hardly detectable ways, Innes was able to achieve a harmonious yet moving whole. Unfortunately, I cannot seem to find the painting I just described, but google image has a number of his other landscapes available.

Double Take
The title for today's blog is of course a double entendre. It is a double take in the sense that I am writing two blogs back to back (because I didn't have the internet access this morning to do yesterday's blog), but also because I am currently reading the Golden Ass of Apuleius. It is one of those translated Greek works that happen to be popular but somehow never made it into the cannon of classical literature (another double entendre ;)). Apuleius, the author of the Golden Ass, was described by the translater as a master of double takes. Just when one thought one had gotten the joke and has laughed heartily at it, he reads the real punchline and finds himself unable to laugh further. Of course, in the books case, it was not only jokes but also unfortunate situations...almost as if things can always get worse. But enough about the book. Read it yourself if you want to know more. Just be forewarned that it teaches a rather radical moral philosophy that might not make sense today as it contains prejudice and plenty of self-preservation lessons.
Site of the Day: www.spores.com
What is it: a site that introduces the next blockbuster game: Spores. Not another gaming site!!! Actually, I don't play very many video games but it is again effective advertising that caught my eye with Spores. In the transit stations, bright one-colored ads feature cartoony microbes and beckon you to check it out at spores.com. The ambiguity and the urgency of the ads just might (by eliciting curiosity) get people to vist their site. Once there, you learn that the creator of SIMS finally came out with a more dynamic version of their SIMS game. You can not only develop relationships, etc., but you can also have them evolve and become armies for you to conquer other steady states. Very clever indeed, but I wonder what the future will hold for these games. Are we so interested in playing God and in control that that is the only direction we can move towards now? I surely hope not, but let's see.
Artist of the Day: Vincent van Gogh
Who is he: an incredibly well known artist now although he remained rather unappreciated during his time. I shall write more about him in the coming days but I thought it fitting to crown him the artist of today as I just saw an exhibit of his night paintings at the MoMA. The exhibit was roughly 40 paintings, with most of them on loan from the Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam. The Starry Night was of course there, but to be honest, there were not enough works in the exhibit to tie the "night paintings" theme together. Many of the works were created in the dusk and although van Gogh wrote about wanting to paint the night, the works in the exhibit just did not weave a coherent story about what the artist wanted to do. I could write more, but as it happens, it is about 3 AM here and I really need some sleep. I will presently get back to van Gogh and muse over what I think about his works.

Ad Musings
I was riding on the PATH on Friday when an ad caught my attention. No, not the 'Do you want to hook up' from Comcast, but Dentyne Ice's new campaign with couples and families spending more 'face time' vs. online time together. It is definitely one of the success stories of advertising - clever, attention-grabbing, and with a positive message.
Link of the day: www.dentyne.com
Needless to say, in trying to figure out a good example of the Dentyne example, I came across their site. It appears that Dentyne Ice took themselves seriously when it comes to encouraging non-internet activities. If you are curious, check it out yourself.
Artist of the day: Paul Klee
A few weeks ago, I was walking on the street when I came upon a bookstore on wheels. It sold mainly old books for a buck or two. I selected two, one on Paul Klee, and another on Incan art. I haven't begun either yet, unfortunately, but Paul Klee does bring back a host of memories. I first encountered his work in junior high. At the time I knew just enough about art to be slightly distainful of the smudgy colors and childlike drawings. What I did not realize, was the way Klee took subjects often a kindergarten kid would draw and infused them with depth. Cat and Bird was not only light and humorous, it can be interpreted in a much more serious manner. An obvious one being the predator and prey relationship, but then agian, that's just scratching the surface. I don't have enough background materials on me now to delve more into detail on Klee but I'll probably come back to him again when I get a chance to find my supporting materials

Bleary-Eyed
I just woke up. Not sure why, but I've been finding it harder to get up in the morning these days. It must be the onset of winter when days start darker in general. I have been loading up on vitamin water and instant meals these past few days because I could not find time to cook, but I did go shopping last night and was surprised at the cost of groceries. They have gotten high rather fast! That, and I must have not grocery shopped in at least a month or two.
Link of the Day: www.crunchyroll.com
What is it: a site dedicated to fans of all sort, but it primarily targets the young Asian population. There are loads of semi-high quality anime videos (although they do have a few very wonderfully drawn animations from other countries), Asian drama series, video game clips, music videos, etc. There's even a section on cars. In any case, while there are a number of free anime-watching sites out there, this one is pretty unique in that it is pop-up free and the Ads are relatively simple to ignore.
Artist of the Day: Normal Rockwell
Who is he: an American illustrator who designed many memorable and often humorous covers for the Saturday Evening Post. There was a NYT article on Maurice Sendak recently who commented on how Rockwell is not an artist. I don't buy it. I do think there's quite a distinction between illustration and fine art, but a great deal of that distinction lay in depth of the creator's exploration. IMHO, an illustrator is often commissioned to design or illustrate for someone else's concept and may quickly move on from there. They may explore techniques and styles, but not beyond that. An artist, however, is someone who is not merely satisfied with portraying what he sees in his mind's eye but is interested in evolving and in telling a story endlessly - for art IS his life and will continue to change or deepen as he ages.
Just as an aside, I was able to visit and get a tour of the Bostonian. The editorial walls were covered with staff photographers' contributions and some of the images were simply beautiful while others very moving.

Running Around Once Again
I almost forgot what it was like in college when I ran around like a chicken with its head cut of. Not a very attractive image, I admit. However, I haven't had quite this sense of deadlines and adrenaline rush in a while and it is making me very happy. Last night I went to a Wine Tasting and tried an Australian wine called Malbec. It had a somewhat bitter aftertaste. Although it wasn't quite to my liking, I was nevertheless happy to have had the opportunity to try such a "rare" wine.
Link of the Day: www.allrecipes.com
What is it: a site dedicated to user-submitted recipes. While I am sure most people reading this blog would have been familiar with the link already, I was a stranger to it not too long ago. I have used it primarily for delicious pie-making recipes so far, but the site has much more to offer. The most wonderful parts are the comments that often include valuable suggestions to making good recipes even better.
Artist of the Day: August Rodin
Who is he: a sculptor of the late 20th century. Granted, I wrote about him in my last post, but I felt I hardly did him justice, so a continuation today. A lot of times, artistic works are hard to appreciate unless one views them in person. In this age of excellent digital reproductions, we often find ourselves satisfied with Walmart reprints of famous paintings or even Google images. However, many works of art were meant to be seen in their originals and in context of other works by the same artist. This is particularly true of sculptures. I never was a huge fan of Rodin back in high school. His figures seemed grotesque in the way they contort and writhe. His portraits (think Balzac), look more like a Turner painting of a storm than real people. No smooth skin or even facial symmetry - often cited as the pre-requisite for beauty. Yet, when I visited Rodin's museum in Paris, I came away convinced that he is one of my favorite sculptors. Words cannot describe how mesmerized I was by his works. I was almost overwhelmed with the beauty and life in them, and I felt that this could not have happened if I did not view many of his works in close proximity to each other. It was as if in moving from one of his works to another, I suddenly saw the life that Rodin was infusing into his works. The "imperfections," if they can indeed be called "imperfections," were the very things that gave these works life. It was as if Rodin was applying the Gestalt theory to 3D art. The slight asymmetry was really capturing the beginning of motion and our minds supplied the rest - finishing the motion and hence giving the works life and true movement. It was the "impression" of life that he captured and the eternally changing beauty of life that he immortalized.

All Work and No Play...
...makes me a rather grumpy girl. I am usually fine with solving problems and thinking through issues on my own, but when the problems get too complicated (infinite solutions times infinite consequences), I freak out and shut down. Then, it takes a good bit of "away time" to get me level-headed again so that everything becomes clear and looks more manageable. Of course, in my case, the "away time" is best spent sleeping.
But enough about my psychotic behaviors. Everyone has them and it really all boils down to management, whether in terms of time or information or expectation.
Link of the day: www.esnips.com
What is it: another one of those P2P portals. It has evolved quite a bit since a few years back when one can download without having to join its membership network. I still enjoy the site though, because it hosts many non-music file types (i.e. ebooks, word documents, spreadsheets) in addition to mp3s. One can still download songs if the uploader enables the option. A great source for electronic manuals, language books, and anime pop songs.
Artist of the day: Agustin Rodin
Who is he: a genius of a sculptor. I have never truly appreciated his work until I visited Rodin's house and museum in Paris and saw his work as a collective whole. Rodin possess the means to express feelings and raw powers through his imperfect figures. Of course, the anatomy of his figures are more or less correct, but it is the very "less correct" parts of his works that bring his figures to life, for they are hard to define like a moment caught unexpectedly. This in-between quality hints at movement and hence, life, rendering Rodin's sculpture not so much lifelike in their detail as lifelike in their impression. Little wonder then, that Rodin is grouped with the Impressionists.

Post-Resolution Pains
Verbal commitment to making new resolves is easy. Following them through is inevitably harder, particularly if accompanied by physical pains. Not having danced in more than a year, I am incredibly sore and tired after a weekend of mostly dance. It is also approaching winter. I can feel it in the dark morning skies and the chilly winds.
Link of the day: jayisgames.com
What is it: a site for flash and casual game play. For the occasional gamer who enjoys good 3D graphics but who doesn't expect to spend days playing the same game, this site offers reviews, links, and walk-throughs for many beautifully rendered games. I was particularly addicted to the room escape genre for a while. It allows me to play puzzles of the detective sort without having to waste time making my character travel many steps.
Artist of the day: Pan Yuliang
Who is she: A Chinese painter active around the early part of the 20th century. She was a pioneer in many ways. For my senior essay, I focused on analyzing one of her paintings through cultural and aesthetic angles. Who knew, a recent novel about her just came out in English. Pan's life is fascinating and in many ways, it dwarfs her artistic accomplishments. As hinted by the title of the novel, From Prostitute to Post-Impressionist: China’s Modern Art Ambassador, Pan had a less-than-stellar background. Even so, to use the word "prostitute" is going too far even as a marketing ploy playing on sensationalism. For one, Pan was not a prostitute in the sense that she sold her body. She merely worked in a brothel, most likely in the capacity of a maid servant. If Pan was not a "prostitute," she would be no less interesting as a pioneering female painter in turn-of-the-century China as Western avant garde ideas finally started to take root in the East. Enough ranting for now. I will probably come back to her at a later date with a more comprehensive entry.

Revisiting Old Hobbies
I went out salsa dancing last night. It was good to get back into dancing in general but I never knew salsa could be this much fun. It was also quite a workout. I am not joking when I say that I've lost a good 3-5 pounds in 4 hours.
Link of the day: notcot.com
What is it: a well-designed website for all (well, mostly product) design junkies. The owner has a selective yet undiscriminating eye. Showcased items range from Tetris Tiles, to a weekly Happy Hour, where clickable thumbnails redirect to actual cocktail recipes. There is truly something for everyone here.
Artist of the day: Gerhard Richter
Who is he: a twentieth/twenty-first century artist that is taking the seemingly linear development of painting into his own hands. As someone who is interested in art history, I have often found myself asking the question: what's next? Every since Giorgio Vasari, the "father of art history," chronicled the lives of artists chronologically in the 16th century, art has been seen as developing in a linear fashion. For instance, Western painting is often described by movements and counter-movements as we go from the iconic art of the Middle Ages to the classicism of the Renaissance, from Realism of the 19th century to the Abstract Expressionism of the 20th century. Painting went from symbolism to photographic renditions and back to fundamentals. We've explored pure form and pure emotion. So what is next? Richter answers the question by tracing the footsteps of what was done before him. His art spans innumerate styles and media, yet he manages each time to avoid being a simple copier. I can't say I know enough about him and his works to figure out if he's reached the next stage, but we can always wait and hope.

New Beginnings
I started a Xanga account freshman year in college but didn't really get to update it often. In fact, I probably have less than 10 entries in it. So why should I start blogging now? Well, simply because there are so many cool things out there that I find daily and want to keep track of - everything from random links to new stores visited. None of those deserve a full page of summary, but they are all things I want to remember and share. And voila...the blog! Who knows, maybe from dumping everything here, I'll finally figure out what I want to focus on in life.
Today marks more than my entry into the world of bloggers, but many other things as well. Since things never work out if I talk about them in advance, I'll save those other beginnings for when they attain a more tangible form.
Link of the day: www.wheresgeorge.com
What is it: a place to track dollar bills by their serial number. I had bill K42517930C. It started its journey on 14-Jan-07 10:54 AM in Norton, MA, but apparently didn't make it farther than 28 miles in more than a year. Of course, that's most likely because no one bothered to go on wheresgeorge.com to enter in their location. Hopefully when I release it back into the world, it'll land in the hands of more curious people. So long K42517930C!
Artist of the day: Athanasius Kircher
Who is he: a man ahead of his time. I came across an image of Poussin's Peter and John Healing the Lame Man and decided to look for information on Nicolas Poussin and his use of parallaxial shifts. I remembered the painting from a high school museum visit and at the time never fully comprehended the master's use of perspective, so I decided to do some online research. Googling yielded few results, but did lead me to a blog on Kircher, who apparently taught Poussin perspective. Kircher has more to his name than that though. Described by the NYT as a postmodernist of the 1600's, Kircher was an eccentric artist who invented things like eavesdropping statues and vomiting machines and whose pursuit of knowledge often led him to conduct dangerous experiments on himself (think Ben Franklin and his kite but with active volcanoes). This is one old artist I intend to keep an eye out for.
Alright...off to work on my new beginnings
