Look



Heart heart heart. Heart heart heart.
(Could you guess this is part of the Apple store in Osaka?)

Addall -- great book search for the US

So from first impressions I want to apply to Central St Martin's over LCF. The advisor at CSM was prompt and nice versus late and terse. But first impressions are first impressions. I should get down and do some real research. Bunka has a year-long prep program to take before you enroll, and after enrolling, it's not a Master's program; it's an AA like at Parson's. I have a feeling, like Parson's, Bunka's tied into the industry machine and less art and theory. But wouldn't it be sweet?

My coworker just today found out about programs companies can use to spy on their employees. She was shocked (to me, a little paranoid), but she didn't really understand why I found net surveillance strangely natural. (I don't think I'm being monitored at work, but I wouldn't give a shit if they fired me for blogging!)

Anyway, the Internet and network surveillance can be a scary Big Brother, but I have a feeling that those of us who spend at least (at least) three hours a day being voyeurs and exhibitionists over blogs and social networking sites (not to mention party pictures!) do not have as much repulsion and fear of someone watching us. Actually, we're screaming, "look at me! ... please ... someone."

It's all rather lonely, in a way, isn't it?
