Who WAS that?

An apology for the rude entry of my rather unwanted alter ego Bitcherina (i.e., when my really-getting-worse mood swings and delusions come knocking on my door). It was a good thing I did get to talk to a good friend a little after Bitcherina's sudden post. But to check up on what Bitcherina did post....

Yeah, bananaducky did have a good Wednesday night and most of the day of Thursday. Which goes to show that one should not prejudge the outcome of a week as early as Thursday. Okay, even I did not understand that. Got a good feeling Wednesday night (and not only from the beer) because I was privy to something which concerns, of course, me. And someone. Of course, a guy. Wahoo!

But one thing I am really excited about. For a long time, I have been so into visual art, pictures and the general subject of images. Be it mass media - magazines, print ads, fashion editorials, etc. - or on account of grad school, the politics of representation (for example, the portrayal of women's bodies, etc.), I have been dreaming of taking, for my PhD, something aligned to media studies. But I kind of realized that it may be too aligned to Mass Comm, which I am not too sure altogether. I still wanted to go into visual art, architecture, interior design - not exactly the technical aspect of it, especially the latter two, but the idea behind them and why artistic movements have come and gone, and the like.

Then I got the crazy idea to look into the course outline of Humanities II, or Art, Man and Society. Which I haven't done yet since it's the weekend, but got really excited to check it up first thing tomorrow and review it and probably, just maybe, ask if I could teach one class. But then I realized the orientation of Humanities II is rather dowdy (think 'Differentiate an Ionic column from a Doric column' and 'The aesthetics of Rembrandt'). I want something more critical, something that, like I said previously, the politics of, for example, encapsulating life in pictures. In other words, the reifying implications of, for example, photography. See, all of what I'm saying are injected with examples, which really reflects the flow of ideas I have been having all day. Gee. Am really, really excited. Which I'm really exploiting, to prevent a repeat of Bitcherina. Gee, gee, gee.
