NO.

FRICKIN'.

WAY.

You just got a Wacom Bamboo tablet, too?!

How did you figure out how to do Photoshop?! I can't figure it out for the LIFE of me.

Ew, modernism, next to southern gothic, it's my least favorite pieces of literature.

I've had another Wacom for a loooong time, like. Years and years, but it was a crappy Graphite. I just got the Bamboo to replace it. :) And I've been using Photoshop for a long time as well!

Early Modern literature isn't Modernism! It's pretty much any literature before Romanticism.

I actually love Modernism (especially high modernism) and postmodernism. XD

There's a reason why I am becoming a zoologist and not writing papers on the philosophy of cynics correlating to Shakespeare. See? I just combined Western Civ with Com 101 and 102 - I have no idea what I'm talking about, obviously. I'll just go back to building my Sodium Bicarbonate 3-D models.

Let's narrow it down: Mark Twain - that man is a genius, I heart that dude, he is awesome - I am depressed that he has no descendants; it crushed my hopes when I found out because I was seriously going to marry a great-great-great-great grandchild of Mark Twain. I would be Mrs. Moldycookies Clemens. Okay, let's go with anyone who is not that dude who wrote A Good Man is Hard to Find or A Rose For Emily. I'll read them. Oh, and Hemingway, fuck that dude. Edgar can stay, because he's bitchin ( ... )

In terms of modernist literature, it really runs the gamut. I'm a huge, huge fan of William Faulkner, Virginia Woolf, and recently just discovered James Agee who I think is absolutely fantastic. Poets like T.S. Eliot, W. H. Auden, and Ezra Pound were also quite important. Some of the best African American literature was produced during that time as well -- Ralph Ellison, Richard Wright, and Zora Neale Hurston were all writing during the modernist era in the modernist vein. To a degree, modernist literary tropes and techniques are still used by contemporary writers such as Toni Morrison, Maxine Hong Kingston, and J.M. Coetzee. I'm actually not quite as smitten with modernist writers such as Hemingway, Joyce, D. H. Lawrence, E. M. Forster, etc. Though Fitzgerald really was a great writer.

I'm not much of a fan of Romanticism or Victorianism, either. I tend to like twentieth century works and contemporary -- hence my interest in modernism and postmodernism.

Wacom Bamboo is addicting. The most awesome thing ever. Just saying XD
Keep academic work and resting in balance? I use drawing and painting as a stress reliever.

Which Bamboo do you have? *_*

Yeah, I noticed that artwork is really quite nice stress relief. Except when you can't get something right.

Bamboo Pen & Touch. A small one (248 x 176 mm). Took a short while before I got used to it, but now I love it :D And which one do you have?

yeah... true >.> I usually take a break then and try to finish the picture later. Kinda helps.
