Very lazy blogging day - this is a slight detour in the kittens adventure. Will continue tomorrow cuz, like Mr. Gray Kitten, I'm doing my damn Thai and can't be bothered about turning on the stereo. "Doing Thai" is:

I'm loading up my iPod with as much Thai language stuff as I can because I'm not gonna bring a computer to Bangkok. So with this I'll be able to practice all by my lonesome. As promised, two more tree photos:


I'm not sure whether I like or hate the last one. Looks like the early computer-generated images that were classified as "fantasy" ... as in dolphins floating around in space and really terrible models of naked women suspended above the ocean with a full moon directly over head.... terrible stuff. Like these beauties: 1 2

I've only read two good sci-fi books. One was a collection of short stories by Arthur C. Clark - very thought-provoking - and the other was a collection of oil paintings by a guy named John Harris. Harris has only published one book of illustrations (called "Mass") but I think his paintings are ... groovin'? I first saw the book while I was browsing around the graphic design section at Kinokuniya. I went back three or four times to specifically look at it (cost S$60, lah). I eventually bought it though, so it is now the only book of paintings I own. I'll scan some tomorrow...
