geekdom

i just ordered a giant hardcover book entitled Art and the Power of Placement. it's exactly what it says: a book on how where a piece of art is placed affects how the viewer experiences it. why did i order this? because when i consulted it at the library in Montreal, i wanted nothing more than to sit there all day and read it cover to cover, ogling the illustrations and absorbing the info. if i had been on less of a schedule, i probably would have - instead, i took the blurb i required from it and regretfully left it there, promising myself that, should i still covet the thing when i got home, i would try to find a copy.

delivery time: 1-3 MONTHS and i had to get it from Amazon. but i don't care.

this officially makes me a museum geek, i realize. but it's satisfying to know that maybe, just maybe, i've picked the right field of study.
