P. G. Wodehouse is awesome.

"If not actually disgruntled, he was far from being gruntled."

"The fascination of shooting as a sport depends almost wholly on whether you are at the right or wrong end of the gun."

"It is a good rule in life never to apologize. The right sort of people do not want apologies, and the wrong sort take a mean advantage of them."

"At the age of eleven or thereabouts women acquire a poise and an ability to handle difficult situations which a man, if he is lucky, manages to achieve somewhere in the later seventies."

"Boyhood, like measles, is one of those complaints which a man should catch young and have done with, for when it comes in middle life it is apt to be serious."

"Has anybody ever seen a drama critic in the daytime? Of course not. They come out after dark, up to no good."

"To be a humorist, one must see the world out of focus."

...so I don't expect many people I know to come to this, especially since I'm only in two numbers =). But I thought you'd all like to see a little more about this since it's what is happening in my life right now.

Happy Memorial Day everyone! Hope you enjoyed the long weekend. Special thanks to all of the members of our military, who have given their time, futures, and lives to protect our country and its values.

Been reading from A History of Graphic Design by Philip B. Meggs. It starts out with a detailed history of the development of the alphabet and gives extensive explanations of the development of calligraphy throughout the Middle Ages. It is amazing to observe the beautiful writings and illustrations of the monastic Bibles. I can't imagine the patience it took to write these things.

Something I found interesting is the almost cynical attitude the book had toward the Christians who created these Bibles, people who placed such important emphasis on the Scriptures. Though the author clearly appreciates the beauty of the artwork, he tends to present the subject matter of the works as childish, illogical, outdated.


Of course this was sometimes true, especially regarding the undue superstitions many people held during this time perioud. But the high repect for God's word held during the Middle Ages is a quality our time really needs to pick up on. If we spent half as much time reading the Bible as these scribes did copying it, our lives would be so much better off.


Well so much for my random thoughts of the day.

Stuff

Well, I just completed the test for the last module in my Advanced Chemistry book. All that's left is the final, 'n then I can say HALLELUJAH!

I can't belive the school year is almost done. I'll be a senior next year. dang.

In other news: this morning I had the immense pleasure of visiting the company Info Grafik, a graphic design company founded by Oren Schlieman, a former high school classmate of my dad. It was very eye-opening and encouraging to see graphic design used in such a real way, and I greatly enjoyed meeting the company's employees and seeing them at work. Hopefully, I'll be able to go back to learn more, and perhaps even help out in order to learn by observation and experience.
