The Book Nearest

"Now she took a kind of sad, ironic pleasure in watching the way the old woman looked at her, how she recoiled from her, how prudish she was, as if she was still that young adulteress running to meet her lover beneath the old lime trees... that, at least, she retained from her youth."

Helmuth and Rudi head north toward the local police station at Hammer Deich 57.

Love those books...now that I've been allowed to read them. :P

[Brigid ✩, No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader.]

I'm reading them for the first time ... just because I've never bothered to. XD

Oh. And I love them too. ;)

I wasn't allowed to until I got them for Christmas. :) I read them all in a week.

Glad you're enjoying them.

[Brigid ✩, No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader.]

How sad. 3
All in one week? Gurrrlll you're a beast. It takes me like a week to read each one. XD

[Ky]

I had no life during that week. :P And I was a bit depressed, so reading helped.
That's still a LOT better than most people!

I really liked that book >3

[Brigid ✩, No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader.]

I like it so far, too. It's uh, much scarier than I thought it would be. O_o

[Krys]

I thought it would be like one of those really long races they have in Egypt o.o I thought it was gonna be kinda serious, though xD

[Krys]

I also went to find the book nearest to me, but its a collection of German poetry :/

Haha. At first I thought it was about like, normal horse racing. But then I heard it was about like, demon horse racing. And I started reading it and now I'm like O_O oh my. (view spoiler)[I just read the part where the horse ate a dog in front of her... goodness gracious. (hide spoiler)] It's certainly very different from Wolves of Mercy Falls.

[Krys]

I remember I just kind of looked it up, and I recognized the myth of the horse's she were using, so I sorta knew what it was about. And ohgosh. That part I was like, "o.o" too. And very, very different.

I don't know what the Delsartion idea is, and I hope if I did it does not relate to humans whatsoever.

I don't know what the Delsarti..."

Fortunately, no. They're talking about how Kuleshov made use of the actors in his films, and a series of experiments he took using different forms of montage, and the way the bodies of dancers he filmed are put into them; in some he just filmed the dancers as the were, but in the others with parts of the dancer detached and filmed on their own, and all these images were then put together for an overall more artful effect. Delsarte was a filmmaker who influenced Kulashov's way of filming during he experiments with the way he filmed such detachment to highlight human motion.

Aw, how lame. I was hoping it'd be one of the crazy similes/metaphors... This book is full of them. It's also like, the weirdest thing since ever.

-Drawing People; How to Portray the Clothed Figure

[Elliott]

How to Portray the Clothed Figure. Hehe. As opposed to How to Portray the Naked Figure? xD

[Krys]

Well, most anatomy books are full of nudes, because you're trying to learn how to draw the human figure. This one has some minor anatomy tips but its mostly about how to draw clothing realistically P:

[Elliott]

*nods* Yeah, I know. It just sounds funny if you aren't thinking about it from an artistic viewpoint.

Yes, it is cool. I've learned quite a few new things about Buddhism already. :3 The class is mostly about how Buddhism relates to environmentalism. It's kind of hard to explain... basically, it's about deciding whether Buddhism is in support of environmentalism or not.

Too bad. :( Haha my dad would have been like, "OOH HERE'S A NAKED PERSON DRAWING BOOK." He showed me a lot of naked drawings when I was a child... Hmm, that sounded creepy. HE'S AN ARTIST, OKAY.
