I have had many thoughts. It's the first day of school. I have a break between 12 20 and 6 30. When I have actual assignments it won't be as bad. I did some editing...Some researching....SOme thinking and some talking. 2 more hrs to go, and some eating is on the agenda as well.

So...my thoughts.

1. Animals have brands. They are marketed, just like anything else. A business with a penguin logo and a lion logo can both symbolize royal, but in such different ways. How have these identities been created? Through many cartoons, children's books and animal planet shows. We project our qualities on these creatures...I don't know if nay are notoriously evil...Crocodiles generally don't have a good rep, sharks either....So we don't like dangerous reptiles? We tend to like furry things, even if they're hunters like lions and tigers....Anything "cute". It's possible to find reference for any animal that humanizes them and makes them into either good or evil. Bats and spiders....spiderman and batman. For some animals you just have to look harder to find the positive reference.

2. I forgot =(

Hopefully my senior project will get approved. I want to make a book based on this song. Best of Times by Sage Francis. It has a personal feel, with random, personal thoughts, just like I love. ANd they're super long too...So I think it will be a fun project to work on and it shouldn't be too hard to make it graphic.

Yay. I'm off to eat, before I faint from hunger.
