I found this while cleaning up my desktop from a rough semester. Not sure why I decided to go screenshot crazy that night but it encompasses my feelings of the semester.
Instructors and course evaluations are submitted, studio supplies are moved home, I AM moved back home, getting full nights of sleep, texting and eating with family and friends, catching up on tv shows, starting new books, finishing up that scarf I started before class, having a clean desktop…the point is…the madness is over. Hip hip hooray.
finally.
Going through the rankings and listening to all 2012 SXSW featured artists…
Gilbert Garcin - Surrealist Potraits
some of many amazing 3d visualizations by Xoio
I can’t even…Is it crazy that my eyes burned when I first saw these because I was trying to squeeze out a tear for the spectacularity of it? Yes, pretty things can make your eyes burn too!
guess what my new alarm tone is? cocktail party effect, y’all.
![I’m convinced after reading this excerpt from wikipedia that archistudents should sleep like horses.
Horse Behavior:
“Horses are able to sleep both standing up and lying down. They are able to doze and enter light sleep while standing, an adaptation from life as a prey animal in the wild. Lying down makes an animal more vulnerable to predators.[12] Horses are able to sleep standing up because a “stay apparatus” in their legs allows them to relax their muscles and doze without collapsing. In the front legs, their equine forelimb anatomy automatically engages the stay apparatus when their muscles relax.[13] The horse engages the stay apparatus in the hind legs by shifting its hip position to lock the patella in place. At thestifle joint, a “hook” structure situated on the inside bottom end of the femur cups the patella and the medial patella ligament, preventing the leg from bending.
Unlike humans, horses do not need a solid, unbroken period of sleep time. They obtain needed sleep by means of many short periods of rest. This is to be expected of a prey animal, one that needs to be ready on a moment’s notice to flee frompredators. Horses may spend anywhere from four to fifteen hours a day in standing rest, and from a few minutes to several hours lying down. However, not all this time is the horse actually asleep; total sleep time in a day may range from several minutes to a couple of hours.[15] Horses require approximately two and a half hours of sleep, on average, in a 24-hour period. Most of this sleep occurs in many short intervals of about 15 minutes each.
Horses must lie down to reach REM sleep. They only have to lie down for an hour or two every few days to meet their minimum REM sleep requirements.[15] However, if a horse is never allowed to lie down, after several days it will become sleep-deprived, and in rare cases may suddenly collapse as it involuntarily slips into REM sleep while still standing.[17] This condition differs from narcolepsy, though horses may also suffer from that disorder.[16]
Horses sleep better when in groups because some animals will sleep while others stand guard to watch for predators. A horse kept entirely alone may not sleep well because its instincts are to keep a constant eye out for danger. “](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m41nh4dmkD1qfizhdo1_500.jpg)
