Sharing the lovely snail on this Sunday afternoon.

Geoff sent me the link to this xkcd cartoon and said he recognised me 😛
I have just completed my Design & Business class (That’s one down, yay!) it was not what I had expected, not quite what I was hoping for and a certainly scored a group with some peculiar dynamics…
Our business plan wound around this idea of converting food scraps from restaurants into organic fertiliser: yes it can be done, our focus was on the service of waste removal and forging links between the food and farming industries. This is the logo I designed for Waste Organics… it was done quickly (it’s not quite even) and the idea to me still seems a little too cutesy or something that resonates with the word flabby – but it probably works for what it is. The kind of nice irony is that apparently ‘dandelions are a logo design trend for 2009‘ – I did not know this before today. There is also a secondary version with the forks growing – for the future projection with farming involvement.
I am truly glad to see the tail end of this class, it tried my patience no end and I did have to do a lot of the work, but all up it was a kind of pleasing outcome. Cheers and good riddance.
I just finished this book: Written lives thanks to Javier Marias. It is a collection of essays – short stories on 25+ (I didn’t count) key writers. I confess I haven’t read even close to all of them but it did feature surprising insights into those like Rilke and Oscar Wilde. The rest I am now inclined to pay a literary visit to.
I have concluded since reading, that to be of the highest calibre of writer you must a) have a tragic life b) know multiple other writers who also have tragic lives and c) hate at least one of them.
So tragically I will never be an author of this kind.
Highly amusing read, worth much more than the measly $5 I paid for it.
