Capture the Rapture.

It's amazing how some artists can capture the scenery in a beautiful city with watercolor and pen:

and this high-speed sketching - very efficient:

Not exactly a scenery, but I'm going to do something like this for my trip to England

(it'll be a good incentive to not bring too many items if I'm drawing everything I bring!):

Big Window, Big View

I know having too many windows in your house just makes it a huge greenhouse and it becomes hot as hell. But can you blame me if I blast my A/C to accommodate these beauties?
My guilt just lifts away.

Dreamy

Nice neutrals that make you float on.

So today I was walking down the Infinite, and I saw two young (10ish?) brothers skipping down the hall and playing a small game by avoiding certain spots on the floor. The floor was speckled but there wasn't really a pattern to it. I watched them for a while since I was just walking down the hall anyways, but I couldn't figure out what their game was.

I started thinking about how when I was a kid, I made up a game for everything. Everything. Everything existed to test my mind. But now I wasn't having the same kind of fun these kids were having. Maybe the point was that it was random. I don't know.

But this world is definitely a playground, and I ~~should~~ will have fun.

Just float on.
