Absent sketches
Yesterday I did some urban drawing... That's all that I can think of to say... Urban drawing is formalistic art, which is the art of recording gritty, realistic cogs and gears of the world that most people ignore and/or down't like to look at. I will probably scan and upload my drawings soon... So you could look forward to that, I guess. I wonder if anyone reads this blog other than O'l Mom...

Phillip Guston's art
Due to a suggestion from O'l Mom, here's a link to some of Philip Guston's art, which is that art that inspired my unempathetic piece: http://mckeegallery.com/artists/philip-guston/

Awkward
After 2 weeks, no-one really got the spelling thing right, so I'm ending the contest. The closest guess to winning was when Cool Papa said that he could make out a potato somewhere in the word, which was completely correct. The word was potato chips, spelled ghoughpteighbteau tchoghs. A congratulation for Cool Papa! The spelling is GH as in hiccough, the OUGH as in though, the PT as in ptomaine, the EIGH as in eight, the BT as in debt, and the EAU as in bureau. The chips are TCH as in match, O as in women, and GH as in hiccough. Maybe I'll post some more blogging tomorrow...

Gene splicing is more easy than some people would think. It can be done on any bacteria, cells, and DNA though it's easiest to mess with bacteria. To make a strand of bacteria do such a complex thing as bioluminescently glow in ultraviolet light is take the bacteria and some DNA of a jellyfish, break down the cell walls and nucleus membrane with various alcoholic chemicals, apply the jellyfish DNA and a binding agent which forces the gene of bioluminescence to become dominant, and wait for weeks and you will have spliced genes! Here's some pictures of what pure bacteria look like:
And here's a picture of what unrecognizably altered bacteria look like:

Utter failure
Another day has gone by and no-one has done anything about the contest. Very disappointing. The word is still Ghoughpteighbteau tchoghs. Remember that. I might post about something interesting later if someone guesses right... Or guesses at all, really. This has been that much of a disappointment.

Annoying game
Instead of posting a post that's really boring, I'll run another annoying guessing game. Here it is: Without looking it up, can any of you guess what Ghoughpteighbteau tchoghs spells? It does spell a real thing.

I don't have anything interesting to say... I guess that I'll think of something... Yesterday I walked to a museum of contemporary art, and there a special exhibit was a spraying of water and strong lights which only came on at night so the spectrum slicing that occurs when sunlight gleams through a thin mist of water could be seen at night. Is that any interesting? I had absolutely nothing that was mildly captivating to report... I wonder what would happen if I didn't do my blog posts at 11:59 all the time...

Ancient punctuation
I still have nothing to say today! Now I'll have to think of something useless... Some monks in the 12th century used punctuation symbols that nowadays are entirely unheard of, such as the following: the positura, a small mark that looks slightly like 7, which notified the end of a chapter or page; a mark of an unknown name that looked like a gallows (oddly enough, just one of them), which alerted to the beginning of a paragraph before the indent was invented; and the suspensiva, a mark that looks very similar to /, which indicated a very slight pause when reading aloud. Monks tend to do odd things... So did anyone in the 12th century, really, so I probably am very misdirected in blaming them.

Ever realized how much placing of commas can change the meaning of an entire sentence? You probably have, so you might as well not bother reading this post. I still find it very neat that the difference between 'Ein accused Magg lost the DNA evidence' and 'Ein, accused Magg, lost the DNA evidence'. Is , and ,. Also, you should never talk about commas by writing them as ,s.
