something i read today that blew my mind...

"not only could Polynesian navigators indentify and steer by 250 stars, they could navigate by the currents. One great navigator could distinguish between 32 differnent sea swells moving through the vessel at one time..." - wade davis, anthropologist

that is seriously impressive.

ok, so what else? um....oh! i got a new book. a tragicomic called Funhome by Alison Bechdel. so far i like it. it's pretty dark and extremely honest. her drawings are good. sometimes it bugs me the way people are drawn. makes it hard for me to read the story. but i like hers. wow. i am going to sign off now and try this again tomorrow.

love kat
