November was a good month.

Because deep down, I'm a nerdy, future librarian :

Retail therapy

After my uneventful visit to the dentist's office, I found myself with no plans for the afternoon. What's a girl to do on Pay-Day Friday? Go shopping, of course!

First stop: Borders. I went in, looking for a gift for Doris, but I wasn't feeling too inspired. However, browsing the "Local Interest" (i.e. Puerto Rico) section, I discovered this book:


The cover features a detail of Félix Bonilla Norat's painting, Ritual. However, the wrong year is credited!

Bonilla Norat could not have painted this in 1995 - he died in 1992! [tsk tsk] For the record, Ritual was painted in 1961.

The Adventures of Toucan Sam

I finished playing Trace Memory - apparently, I did not get the "good" ending, where D remembers what happened to him. I guess I'm gonna have to give it another go.


I started playing Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life - let's see if I can maintain a farm!




I, also, read this evening in one sitting the interesting exhibition catalog for Andy Warhol / Supernova: Stars, Deaths, and Disasters 1962 - 1964. Note to self:

1. Look up "What is Pop Art? Answers from Eight Painters" by Gene Swanson in ARTnews.
2. Look up "Saturday Disasters: Trace and Reference in Early Warhol" by Thomas Crow in Art in America.
3. Look up "Warhol and Class Content" by Peter Schjeidahl in Art in America.
4. Read Philip K. Dick's sci-fi novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?

I started reading Every Step a Lotus, which is, in turn, sparking more topics of interest !
