For the Spring Festival this year, I am going to be (if I can figure out some logistics) running a makeshift puri kurabooth using my digital camera and photoshop. I've never done puri kura before in a real booth, but after having fun playing around with this stuff with my friends I want to. Have any of you become a member of puri kura? Let's see how crazy your pics are!
Well I've changed the name of my blog to celebrate my second post! Actually my second post is about the meaning of the name. It's from an essay by Earl Shorris:
Of all the arts and sciences made by man, none equals a language, for only a language in its living entirety can describe a unique and irreplaceable world. I saw this once, in the forest of southern Mexico, when a butterfly settled beside me. The color of it was a blue unlike any I had ever seen, hue and intensity beyond naming, a test for the possibilities of metaphor.
There are nine different words in Maya for the color blue in the comprehensive Porrua Spanish-Maya Dictionary but just three Spanish translations, leaving six butterflies that can be seen only by the Maya, proving beyond doubt that when a language dies six butterflies disappear from the consciousness of the earth.
Let's see if this new fancy name for my blogomachinebox can help me actually start posting more!
Every New Year's a local radio station here counts down their most requested songs in their station's history. I always love listening because I find songs that I used to love, but had completely forgotten about. They count down two thousand songs, so I get a whole week's worth of listening enjoyment. Here's a link to the top 2008 this year CD101.
