the backup plan is to spend the money which i would otherwise be earning, by taking lots of courses in miscellaneous areas, and by cooking dinner for everybody in an attempt to hone my skills after the slowpoke in me proved to be the stronger while attempting to cook two days back.
incidentally, anyone have contacts in the museums, or want to do pottery or tailoring with me? pottery is 350 for 10 lessons, at tanglin, tues/thu probably. and german, though im probably just going to get one of those yellow box software thingums from borders and plug it into my computer.
increasingly i find art very comforting when i am depressed, and my art history books are only confirming this impression. art imitates life, but it offers a perspective: it presents its message in fantastic style, with hidden clues as to its tone. it is something that can be read, be understood, be discovered. in short it gives an impression of a comprehensible plane of existence, which is an illusion we must cling onto for sanity in this world.
