I’ve written four and a half pages of my theory term paper! (1355 words out of a required 5000, or a little less than a third of 17ish pages) My biggest worries now are 1) I actually have more to discuss than I have space for (I may have to cut out some of the theorists I delve briefly into), and 2) It's supposed to be based on contrasting theorists, and I mostly find myself comparing or applying them to one another. The contrast between Poulet and Mulvey is my main theme, although I reconcile them in the end, and meanwhile, I find myself comparing/applying Benjamin, de Stael, and Wordsworth to them. *shrugs* I guess that's what first drafts are for!
In celebration of actually feeling academically productive for the first time in three days, I'm taking a break from work. :P
Here's an article my folks sent me, about a man who was discovered to be raising a huge kennel of the exceedingly rare "New Guinea Singing Dogs" in Path Valley, a rural area of PA near my home (my brother and cousin go hiking there a lot). The article includes pictures and an amazing sound clip of the dogs "singing". Prior to the discovery of Hammond's [EIGHTY-ISH!] dogs there were about 150 members of the breed known to exist in captivity worldwide, many of them in zoos.
The Five Moons are five Native American ballerinas from the state of Oklahoma who achieved international prominence during the 20th century. They are Yvonne Chouteau, Rosella Hightower, Moscelyne Larkin, and sisters Maria Tallchief and Marjorie Tallchief. Five Moons is also the name of a bronze sculpture installation in Tulsa, Oklahoma, depicting the five ballerinas. I sadly cannot seem to find a decent photo of this sculpture online. I have to say, tho, from the two photos I DID find of two of the dancers in the sculpture, the sculptor sadly didn't know a whole lot about ballet. >_< The body positions are awkward and incorrect.
A couple of interesting and well-written articles on SparkLife about an American Muslim teenager who choose to wear hijab: parts one and two.
