I used to go to the big library and come home with two boxes of massive books on art and architecture twice a month. Like I needed a handcart. Seriously. I studied the bejeesus out of them. For years. I was developing quite an aesthete. :o) That stopped about ten years ago, and I haven't been back since. I think the last book was a beauty on La Trec. Lau Trec? I can't remember the names of anything. I was really into Rennaisance Architecture; now I can't even remember the guys who built the Cathedral in Florence. Oh well. Crap. Yah. I had quite an obsession going with some Rennaisance architects. Michelangelo, Sansovino, and about twenty others whose names I FORGET COMPLETELY. Oh, and Japan. Specific artists and gardens. It was a magical time. My cousin still asks me about stuff I used to tell him. "You remember that thing you told me about?" "Yah. It was neat. No, I don't." Now I've put away all my books, and have no chance of accessing any of it. Kind of a step off the edge.
