did they tell you you would come undone, when you tried to touch the sun?

i am such a slacker. after the delightful three days off due to the valentine's day snowstorm, i still have accomplished nothing. not my papers, not studying, only movies and sleep and long nights playing online. that's okay though; i work better under pressure. however, it was a good valentine's day, a great week overall. i can't complain.

the firefox spell check tells me that 'okay' isn't correct; and that the suggestion is 'Tokay'. Tokay. i will remember that.

my favorite painting is by h.j. draper, entitled 'lament for icarus'. i have included it here. i'm sure mostly everyone is familiar with the story of the boy who flew too close to the sun and had his wings melt from the heat. i find a lot of meaning in this myth. it is one of my favorites. icarus was also warned to not fly near the water; the dampness would cause his wings to become too heavy. why did he choose to fly upwards, rather than down toward the sea? he had a short, wild flight that ended in his descent into the depths. he paid no heed to his father's warnings and fell into the water. i don't know why, i just happen to love this story.

it's the dark solitary time in the wee hours of the night that the best things happen, and the crazy comes out. tokay.
