... rome is... pond scum

ok... i think that i should clarify the title a little before things really get started up in here: today, i was working on an overlay of a map of rome and i started a conversation about how disorganized, haphazard, and completely blobby [yes, my friends, blobby is in the dictionary] the city of rome is... actually, i was just talking about the form of the city... but i guess that that statement really applies to the city itself in the most literal of all senses. to top off the conversation, brad summed up all of my ideas about the form of rome in one sweet little sentence: 'the form of rome is like that of pond scum,' this was, of course cleverly edited by yours truly to suit the purpose of a lovely little blog title... ain't it grand?...

anyway... still have a cold today... maybe that's the reason i'm so blissfully witty today [you're swimmin' in sarcasm here]... i didn't make it to the pharmacy because i decided that instead of getting drugs today [like i really really needed to, as i have the aforementioned critique on thursday], that i'd go to a lovely little gallery showing of a bunch of cat-themed art made by artists from trastevere... pretty neat stuff... but now i'm stranded on the little island of misery without the rescue boat full of the necessary medicinal potions to make my nose stop running...

growl... sniffle... cough...: that's what i've sounded like for three days now and i'm sure, no positive, that my roommates are completely annoyed with me by now...

oh - i wanted to give a hoarse little 'shout-out' to all my buddies that have been reading my bloggie-boo... i'm glad that my ridiculous little ramblings are somewhat entertaining and such... also to murrye and trinity for starting their blogs... go read something, why doncha? ...

whooptie woo... time to go study and draw and drive myself crazy and such... ciao kiddies...
