Let's do that meme

cornerofmadnessI was supposed to do a few days ago (because if I talk about anything else, I might cry because this afternoon has been like an emotional torture chamber and other than editing the novella I have done nothing, feel like nothing).
The meme, on the other hand, is fun. I got this fromalexseanchai but I've seen it all around now. If you want to play, let's do it. How is works is reply here and I'll give you 3 subjects I don't think you know or care much about. Then you talk about those subjects in your journal. It's interesting to see who knows what about what.
alexseanchaigave me these:
iambic pentameter I first learned about it back in 9th grade AP literature class (Romeo and Juliet, still hate it) It's a rhyme, a group of syllables known as feet some stressed, some not and the penta means five (as in five feet). Shakespearan sonnets are excellent examples of iambic pentameter. That said as much as I love the sonnets, I AM rather tone deaf to the actual meter.
tuna salad at its base, it's tuna, mayo celery and/or relish. It's also not my thing at all. I love seafood. I don't much like fish. Good Ahi tuna, yes, crap in a can, there's not enough mayo and spice to make it that desirable to me. Also between commercial over fishing and the fact that fish a good at biological magnification meaning it concentrates toxins and heavy metals. I argue that fish isn't that healthy because of it (and I would like to see more comparisons of plant-based omega threes to fish because to me that's a better ecological choice). Also as a former 'Sandwich artist' for Subways, avoid the damn tuna fish there Mostly it just sits on ice for hours. Yuck.
wood block prints I was glad for this one. I absolutely love this ancient art form. Have you ever stopped to look at the sheer artistry of these? How intricate some of it is, knowing how to carve the wood to get the right affect, how to layer the colors if using them? It probably started in China among the Buddhists (I think) but I'm not as familiar with their take on it. I am, however, a huge fan of the ukiyo-e style from Japan, pictures of the floating world. So lovely. I have a print of The Great Wave off Kanagawa back home. You can see more ukiyo-e here.
I was drawn to Albrecht Drurer from a young age. I bought a woodblock art book from Dover when I was in h.s. of his art. I love it. Just look at the level of detail in it! Yes it's quite religious at the Drurer link here. but it is lovely stuff.
Today I picked some mulberries today. The tree has gotten too tall for me to get much but a squirrel disagreed. He yelled at me the whole time them jumped tree to tree for 500 yards shrieking at me for stealing HIS mulberries.
