A Day Wasted and the Butterfly Effect

Wanda Ewing | My Printer's Eye | Friday, 23 May 2008

Have you ever had a day where you did absolutely nothing? I mean the sun rose and set as you pretty much watched it from the same spot on your comfy couch? Classes have been over for a week and I have definitely settled into the break. It's been cloudy and rainy today in my lovely hometown of Omaha. I woke up rather late and felt really - well, uninspired. There is a lot to do and yet I didn't feel like doing anything. I did manage to put some collages together. They are studies for one of the many projects I have lined up for myself. It took all of 1 1/2 hours to do. Afterwards, I ran some errands that I had put off for too long (i.e. grocery shopping). I found though, that the day would be best spent on the internet playing my friend Mark at Chess. While I was awaiting his move, I turned on the television. The Butterfly Effect, starring Ashton Kutcher was playing. I liked the idea behind the film. The main character constantly goes back in time via his diaries in order to change events that happened in order to make the future better or right. For those of us that have never heard of the "butterfly effect", it is a theory that a change in something seemingly innocuous, such as a flap of a butterfly's wings, may cause unexpected larger changes in the future, such as a tornado.

Perhaps my little collages will lead to something bigger.

Or not.
