Yeah, Yeah It's a Leap Year And All That.

Yesterday we had another day of Creative Search Engines, where we had to imagine paperweights and stuff. The paperweight experience is simple, you sit in a circle and the lecturer then tells you (straight in the eye - or my eyes at least) that there's a paperweight seated on the ground in the center of everyone (when there is none).

It is exercise in Imagination. Everyone is told to describe the paperweight they see, and thereafter we all take turns to do so. I found it a fascinating study into the subconscious - everyone described something that was reflective of their thoughts, and it was astounding.
Although, mine was a black silver metal ball that held universes inside of it.

Then we had a Brainstorming exercise. This one involves the creation and marketing of a tail. Yes, a tail meant for humans. You could do anything you wanted with it, so this is what my group ended up with.



CUCUMBERSOME. I just made that up to say to Nuria. Happy songs make me sick. I say to Leigh. I'm sorry, I slept at 4 am and now it's 10.22 am and I'm waiting for class cause we woke up to have breakfast thinking class is at 10 am.

For the past 3 days we've been working non-stop making ad scripts, ad posters, campaigns and what-nots, so when I had some time yesterday, I played with the PSP till about 4. That would be about 8 hours of it. Or so.

And I don't really have anything to report at this time. Maybe later.
