Technology and Assassins

::jawdrops::

No, fer serious, this is about the greatest use of technology I've seen all day.

I'm on the internets right now! Okay, fine Kat, that's nothing unusual.

I'm also on the commuter rail train that travels between South Station and Framingham.

*pauses to let you think about that*

Yeah. I have mentioned in the past dozen entries that Boston is the Greatest City Ever, right? Right, Boston is the Greatest City Ever. It is pretty and green and with elegant old buildings, and it's where the history comes from, and everyone walks everywhere, and there's good Mass transit*, and it's full of geeks and the drivers are awesome and the pedestrians are fearless and ohgod, I never want to leave.

(Sillily enough, I...wait, sillily is a word? Damn. It's a pretty good looking word, too...I'm probably going to stop interneting in a bit so I can work more on the drawing I'm doing. Uhm. It's a picture of Charlie Guiteau. He...may...not...be wearing clothes. It's not *dirty* or anything (I can't draw the bits of anatomy I see every day, you think I can draw a penis?) it's really just an illustration of an inadvertant innuendo from his Ballad. ("shine on his shoes / Charlie mounted the stair")

...Yes, I am a bad person. Shh. It's only the first time I've drawn an Assassin sans clothes (Really? / Yeah, I think so.) it's not like I do this frequently or anything.)

Also, Assassins is such a fucking awesome musical. I need to listen to it more often, because it is *delicious*

Off for adventure, drawing, and harassing my poor injured clone! *poings!!*

MOOP!

*This is almost a pun.

*waves at Kat as she passes through Newton*
Also, as someone who grew up new Jamestown, and thus an area involved *before* MA, and also an area that was involved in both Revolutionary *and* Civil wars, I feel I've got more history.
Similarly, I find the pro/cons between the Metro and the T an interesting discussion, and very much a function of what is most important to you in a public transit system.
But I do grant that Boston has a higher geek quotient than the DC metro area.

pssst, most history comes from Europe. ButI imagine you probably meant American History. :-)

Anatomy troubles? Practice practice practice! Seriously, draw genitalia all the time, you'll get good at it! and it will greatly amuse me. Yeah. go out and buy a little sketchbook. perhaps one with a combination lock. And draw genitalia in it all the time!

Why aren't I logged in? I mean really now. I was logged in last I looked. Tis swing.

An excellent theory, but without genitallia to study, I won't know if I'm drawing it right. So there. :P

(Though I suppose I can half solve the problem with a mirror...)

Yes, if only the internets contained pictures of genitalia. That'd be sweet. Somebody should get right on that.

They also have naked people in the pictures and sculptures at art museums.

If you do it that way, you can pretend it's 'cultural' and 'sophisticated' to look at genitalia.
