Alright, so I've had a one week sabbatical now because it's proposal-writing time. Pretty much every person I've ever known wants a copy of my thesis proposal and they want it now. So I've been writing nonstop, sleeping 4 hours at the time, and quietly crying in front of the departmental coffeemaker. Fall's a stressful time - time of changes! So here are some things you (and maybe, maybe, one day, me) can do as a little mouse-click woosah: Remember the Pollock scribbler? Well, this is for those of you who liked the art of creation, but were too OCD and neo-classicist to actually enjoy it. And this is for you scenesters who were too ironic and self-aware to enjoy either one of those. Here. Go play with a lite-brite. The IONS Psi Arcade is a bunch of mind-relaxing little fun games you play that were totally created by that one kid with the book at recess who was all "why do we have to throw the ball at each other? why can't we just share its existence ?...

look at me, everybody! i'm artsy

Be Jackson Pollock This site's a pretty cool little daily distraction from the artless mundanity of the academic/corporate/any other world. Scribble, splat, change colors, and just generally enjoy expressing from the heart. Then, when you are done, check out . It's an archive of graffiti more impressive than the best exhibit at the Gugg. Find a new screensaver, desktop background, or just generally rediscover your faith in the endemic art of the urban landscape, and the inherent ability for expression in the human soul.
