Who knew you could connect over a tongue?

I'm currently taking PY 225, or Infant, Child and Adolescent Developement. One of the things we have to do for this class in work for an hour a week down at the CDC and shadow one of the children, then write a case study on that child. I have found my child. We met when I stuck my tongue out at him and he did the same to me. Yes... it was beautiful. ^_^

I've been thinking about "Media Aesthetics", mostly stemming from the fact that I've been watching the extras on the extended "Lord of the Rings" DVD. It's interesting, the kind of care and work that's put into the design of the entire movie. I loved the way they utilised natural forms in all of the elf sets. And that each of the specific cultures had a specific and different design, so that all you had to do was look at a building/cloak/dress/weapon and you would know it came from a specific culture. In the same way, I've been looking at other things. For instance, my blog.

For some reason, it strangely resembles my livejournal (which I won't be giving out, ladies and gents. Too many secrets, don't ya know?). So, my own style is symple, but... pretty? Dunno. Too much to think about at the moment.

The whole concept of aesthetics is relatively new to me. I just go by what "Feels right" when I'm designing something. If it clicks for me, then I go with it. If not, I chuck it. The whole idea that there's philosophy behind it rather boggled my mind. It'll take a few more classes for me to work that into my rants.

Odd. I seem to have acquired an Brittish accent in this blog. Huh. Isn't that interesting?
