I almost failed art class in high school. I know, it's a pretty hard thing to do, impressively so even. The art teacher used to look over my shoulder and shake her head worryingly at my cartoonish mock-up of a fellow classmate. She took pity on me and gave me a C+ as a final grade. It was the lowest mark I ever got in school. Even today, it's hard to distinguish my drawings from a 7-year-old's. But once in a while, I slip out of self-consciousness (or get stoned) and decide to make something.
This is my mania contribution, although it's a little inexact. I could've opted to show you the 26 web links (and counting) of travel research I've collected for my upcoming trips around Taiwan and to the Philippines, Borneo, and Indonesia... but I thought this might be a liiittle more interesting. I have a horrible habit of always looking too far ahead or behind me, and as such, usually end up not watching my step and landing flat on my face. One day, thems smarty mcsmarterton physicists will build a space-time magic machine that will fix all that. yes.

Anita! how wonderful!! dude(tte), both the drawing and the writing are mesmerizing and assuming you made them both, you are a true artist, un-practiced, maybe, but overflowing with beauty-full notions nonetheless! ; )
I've got the very same un-practiced syndrome, which sometimes makes it hard to even pick up the paintbrush... bah! excuses... drink in everything you see and then give it your reflections... and the world will be richer for it!
