please don't flow so fast
1. For the art history buffs out there: When a building is described as having a certain "plasticism" to it, what does this mean?
I remember taking rather extensive notes on a particular, fairly modern building built by some French architect or another when I was taking the AP class. We were going to have an essay on it, I ended up setting the curve, but the only things I can remember about the experience now was that
Happy happy happy belated birthdays to bravecows, maiteoida, spleen (I love that username <3), niwakaame, tarahime, brokenparasol, arislanchan, and zauberer_sirin. ^^;; Hope you all had a wonderful one. If I missed anyone, please don't hesitate to just whack me upside the head, I deserve it. XD (Since I'm so inexcusably forgetful.)
3. Also, my cellphone fails. :/ I didn't realize this until I was without internet during those interminable three plus months of my life, buuuut you should know that I can't text internationally. There's nothing so grievous as this, TRUST ME. I always get the following message whenever I try:
Error Invalid Number. Please re-send using a valid 10 digit mobile number or valid short code.
...And since it takes money out of my account every time I do attempt to text internationally, I just sort of... gave up. -_-
In any case. I've no idea if this is just how the phone comes equipped (that is, POORLY), or if this is something I can fix (either by changing my plan, calling Cingular, etc.). I don't even know what a valid short code is. Come to think of it, I've no idea if I can receive international texts, never mind send them. Have any of you outside the U.S. tried texting me earlier? Cos I received nothing either way.
Gadjladk!!!
(I should probably just get a different phone.)
4. The Honey and Clover Project? Does anyone know if the theme list is... I don't know, official? By which I mean, is it the theme list? (Is that a stupid question? That seems like a stupid question. It SOUNDS like stupid question. D:) And have the themes been translated anywhere?
Cos I'd really like to think about taking a crack at 'em. I really liked writing for this series~ But I have no ideas of my own, see.

- I took notes--pages of notes--in blue ink.
- The building had an "undulating facade" that lent itself to an even greater impression of the building's supposed vitality.
- The word plastic was mentioned quite a lot. I regurgitated the same terminology when writing my essay in class, but I never really quite understood what the word meant in an art history context. At first I was under the impression that the word was a criticism toward the building and the architect's efforts--it seemed to me as if plastic didn't exactly have a positive connotation to it--but as I read on, I sort of grew to realize that the word was more appreciative than derogatory. I asked my teacher about what the hell it all meant once the essay was over, and he gave me an explanation, but most of it--okay, pretty much all of it--flew right over my head. D:
