Dreams and Things

Dreams can be so easily influenced, they can be swayed and suggested and constructed by a hundred factors. Take for instance the time that I fell asleep watching Sponge Bob Square Pants which, during my nap, had changed to iCarly. Unfortunately, the entire cast of iCarly appeared uninvited into my dreams. It was an odd experience to say the least.

And today after spending hours packing and cleaning I decided to take a nap with Food Network in the background. Clearly I was exhausted because how else can one fall asleep with Guy Fieri blabbing in the background?

Anyway, I dreamt that I was visiting various eateries and that Tiger's paw was on the menu...which is odd, needless to say.

But the reason I'm going on this ridiculous tangent (aside from the fact that I've had way too much sugar) is because my dreams have really started to tick me off.

Oh how I would love to have more control over my closed third eye.

Oh well, I'm sure it's nothing that years of therapy and a couple pints of Ben & Jerry's couldn't fix.

You know, I would marry Ben or Jerry if presented with the opportunity. I don't know what their deal is, but can you imagine all the free ice cream?

I would also marry either (or both) Dule Hill and James Roday...preferably they would be at the end of the aisle holding pints of Dublin Mudslide and Birthday Cake.


Damn...why I can't I dream about that? Why I can't I dream about them instead of you? They are so much more attractive.

Things You May Need to Hear

Image
There is a good chance that you need to hear at least one of these things at this moment or throughout the new year: 1. Stop looking at your anger or anxiety as a wall you keep running into. Instead, look closely at the bricks that make up the wall. Attack the wall one brick at a time and watch the wall disappear. 2. Fear is an illusion. When anxiety strikes, you have to lean into it to get out of it. 3. You are where you need to be. Even if you feel stuck, even if you hate it, even if you don't understand it - stop trying to escape, and start asking yourself what you can learn from this. 4. People who don't have a clear sense of their own identity latch on to others. They turn their insecurity into gossip, their anxiety into manipulation, their inferiority complex into sabotage. Remember that you are a separate organism and that you can choose to either let their toxins in, or keep them out. Don't take on others' baggage before unpacking your own. If you ca...

Analysis of Gerrit Dou's "Dentist by Candlelight" by Liz Rector '09

Image
The piece I have chosen to analyze is Gerrit Dou’s Dentist by Candlelight. A Dutch painter from the 1600’s, Dou began this piece that explores everyday life in 1660 and completed it in 1665. Painted with oil on oak panel (14x10 in.), the piece, which is mostly bathed in blacks and grays, has an eerie lure to it. Entrapped on the oak is a man with his mouth agape, sitting in a wooden chair, wearing a distinct look of anticipating agony. The man looks to the ceiling, where his eyes are met with an alligator hanging from the ceiling; the alligator’s mouth agape as well, with its underbelly aglow. The dentist holds a single candle to the man’s face with one hand, and with the other holds back the patient’s forehead. A concerned wife stands before the man, holding his hand, which is securely fastened to the arm of the chair. The viewer anticipates action, as the scene seems ready to unfold at any moment. The three people in this situation form a sort of circle through their lit facades and ...
