not really a normal monday

back home in kuantan.
its been raining but its ok, i like the rain, especially when i can sleep in cozily under the warm blanket.
so, something funny happened today.

i was kinda excited because i was going to watch Avatar with my parents.
then my sister was saying avatar and all, so i thought i would
sort of swim on my bed, you know 'cos the avatars do swim.
so, i got ready to "dive"
weeeee.....CRASHHHH!!!!!!

next thing i know,
the bed is lopsided and broken. -_-
then i spent the next 30 minutes or so, hammering the nails back in place.
the bed is now ok, just so you all know.
and yes, im planning to go jogging with my sister.
i think the bed breaking was a BIG enough sign. =(

oh, Avatar was AWESOME!!!
i recommend.
now, i want to get myself a blue, gold eyed avatar
though the hair with tentacles thing is kinda weird.
i want to watch again!!

art

Preface to Dorian Gray
by Oscar Wilde (1854 - 1900)

The artist is the creator of beautiful things. To reveal art and conceal the artist is art's aim.
The critic is he who can translate into another manner or a new material his impression of beautiful things.
The highest as the lowest form of criticism is a mode of autobiography.
Those who find ugly meanings in beautiful things are corrupt without being charming. This is a fault.

Those who find beautiful meaning in beautiful things are the cultivated. For these there is hope.
They are the elect to whom beautiful things mean only beauty.

There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written, or badly written. That is all.

The nineteenth century dislike of realism is the rage of Caliban seeing his own face in a glass. The nineteenth century dislike of romanticism is the rage of Caliban not seeing his own face in a glass. The moral like of man forms part of the subject-matter of the artist, but the morality of art consists in the perfect use of an imperfect medium.
No artist has ethical sympathies. An ethical sympathy in an artist is an unpardonable mannerism of style. No artist is ever morbid. The artist can express everything. Thought and language are to the artist instruments of an art.
Vice and virtue are to the artist materials of an art. From the point of view of form, the type of all the arts is the art of the musician. From the point of view of feeling, the actor's craft is the type. All art is at once surface and symbol.
Those who go beneath the surface do so at their peril. Those who read the symbol do so at their peril. It is the spectator, and not life, that art really mirrors.
Diversity of opinion about a work of art shows that the work is new, complex, and vital.
When critics disagree, the artist is in accord with himself. We can forgive a man for making useful things as long as he does not admire it. The only excuse for making a useless thing is that one admires it intensely.

All art is quite useless.
