nishatalithaI have 908 words of this 1500 word report due in by 5pm today.
I have finally seen the interview video for Emma Shapplin's CD etterna. It was kinda cool, especially the music video type stuff. I wonder if I could get jessikast to do an avatar out of the pictures on the CD cover. The chess one, I think. It is very cool. It's all underwater and has her in a filmy white dress on the left side, looking like she's floating, kinda, a chess set floating (tilted towards the left) in the middle, and her on the left again in this cool long red skirt and white blouse, with a red blindfold over her eyes, sitting on rock. It's very cool. I like the floating chess set and the red skirt. There's a cool picture here. It's not the one I've been talking about, though.
The songs are all in old Italian, according to the interview. They sound very cool, and I am going to listen to Carmine Meo next. I like both CDs, although possibly Carmine Meo more.
I am now up to 1,103 words, and I might go find some glue or something similar, and possibly a cheep pair of scissors for my photos and maps. I should get something to eat and a birthday card for Lauren, also. I'm not that hungry, but I'm getting bored, and going on a chocolate run is as good a reason as any to leave for ten minutes or so. I need a break, while I think about such things as:
How is the memorial used by the community within whihc it is situated?
Does the memorial represent a set of community 'values' connected to the war (for example, what does it mean if a memorial only commorates the dead rather than those who served)?
Is the memorial a focus for ceremonies? How is it used?
Where might the study of this memorial fit within the historiographical discussion on memorials and commemoration?
