Reading: "Jarhead". Museums. Web.


What I'm Reading
Finished Gulf War 1 autobiography Jarhead by Anthony Swofford. Rather good: well-written, seems realistic and honest. Fairly short: he keeps some variety in it by using a lot of flashbacks and -forwards.

Review, review.

Museums
Dropped in at the Hreinn Fridfinnsson exhibition at the Serpentine. Icelandic semi-conceptual artists. Some interesting things there: liked the half-vase on a mirror impersonating a whole vase. Also had some pictures of a house wallpapered on the outside, much like the Outside of the Asylum in one of the Douglas Adams books.

Museums 2
Also went to see the Heath Robinson exhibition at the Cartoon Gallery. Thought it would be a bit repetitive, but actually his imagination gets more impressive the more you see. The info is actually quite informative too: hadn't realised how influenced he was by Japanese art but it's obvious when the examples are pointed out.

Worth a look, especially if you haven't been there before.

Web
Stolen from Christdot. If abortion is made illegal, what should the sentence be?

Brainstorming doesn't work.

Comics: A Letterer Speaks.

Myostatin deficiency leads to big muscles.

More old news. Stolen from /. New Futurama DVD movie 27th November
