If I was feeling motivated I would find a painting by Salvador Dali to post on this entry.
I just finished reading a book called Last Harvest by Witold Rbyzinski. It was written at the height of the housing bubble about a residential development in Pennsylvania. He does a nice job of describing the process that the developers and planners went through to create another piece of American exurbia. He doesn't feign neutrality--he supports the detached single family home as a universal good, and he expresses some sympathy for the hoops that developers have to jump through.
Now I'm reading a book by Oliver Sacks about how hallucinations are a fairly common expression of humanity. There is a stigma against them in modern society--get thee to your medications!--but what is the mind good for but dreaming and madness?
