song of the day: Greenman / XTC
word of the day: nerterology / learning related to the dead or the underworld (circa 1800, noun)

yeah, you know it's an obscure word when it's not even in the oxford shorter english. don't be fooled by the term 'shorter', the shorter oxford is probably the biggest dictionary besides the complete oxford, which is 20 fat volumes. the shorter is just two fat volumes. i could not find nerterology in the shorter, and i don't have the complete OED, so... makes you wonder how Forthright's does it...

well, i'm digging into a paper. yes, i've been charged with writing a paper on integral art. FAHK. i'm going to be spending the next 6 or 7 days putting quadrants, levels, lines, states, and types into the artistic incubator. should be fun to see what comes out. i haven't written something like this in...god knows how long or since when. college?

it would be so much easier to do a collage... maybe some refrigerator magnet pieces using terms from Sex, Ecology, Spirituality. i'll try putting this stuff up as i'm working on it so ya'll can see my flailing, floundering work. hey, i'm waiving, not drowning...
