TASP 2003 at UT Austin:
The Mystery of Creativity |

reasonably remarkable

My nickname here at Princeton is "Nebraska" even though there is a girl here from Omaha (do you know someone named Gabriella, John?). People also say, "Do you live near Omaha? That's where all the good bands are from." I auditioned, unsuccessfully, for one of Princeton's hallowed acapella groups. I live next to a guy from Stuyvesant named Jeff Hamilton and I tell him you are brilliant, Olga.
I'm also studying the Eastern Orthodox tradition of iconography, a tradition they consider more valuable for transmitting the gospel than preaching --mysterious, creative, fascinating stuff, the painting of truth. Iconographic esthetics anyone?
It is not quite TASP; there are too many capitalists, too few pirates.
Love,
Matthew
