Edith had fled her lessons by 8:30 that morning, after her semiotics teacher, a dragon named Pru, was slain by a lusty adventurer to avenge his sexual insecurities.
It took me a whole morning to draw Pru, and it was a really good morning. I would like to be taught by a dragon like Pru, instead my semiotics module at university was taught by a really horrible scottish man, a supposed marxist but in deed zealously opposed to any and all resistance or in any way questioning of authority, who additionally tirelessly bullied the nicer, milder and generally less awful of his colleagues.
Anyway, this evening I have principally been <3ing Arne Næss, a deep ecologist norwegian philosopher who once famously chained himself to a mountain to stop it being messed up by developers. He also wrote lots of very sensible things and generally founded the deep ecology movement. If you do a search in the Trumpeter Journal of Ecosophy (http://trumpeter.athabascau.ca/index.php/trumpet) for 'arne naess,' it is possible to find lots and lots of interesting articles by and about him - I really recommend it, I feel 40% happier after having read 'Five Things You Should Know About Arne Naess' by Andrei Whitaker and 'Self-realization in Mixed Communities of Humans, Bears, Sheep, and Wolves' by Arne Næss, and that is an infinitesimal tip of the Næss iceberg.
