that seems a little contrived...  i think we shd just let the language do the talking... face it - we lost this round. wait til next week.

Hey guys it Sommer... I was thinking we could also create a rule for each section then. For example when i think of the nervous system i think of electrical impulses so maybe we can make the text look like it's pulsating by using upper and lower case letters. For "EXTERIOR" we can use text that is visually descriptive (see below). We can think of some other rules for the others.

Anaya

She is lying on the bed. She is wearing her pajamas that are decorated with little girls with pig tails, teddy bears, and purple tea pots. She has dark hair that meets at a widows peak. Her eyes are large and very dark. Her cheeks are rosy. She is moving her feet. She turns to look at me. She sighs. She has a pink and yellow pacifier in her mouth. You can hear the sucking sound. She is shoving her dolly towards me. She pulls her dolly towards her with both hands and examines her. Her little chubby fingers are grabbing and twiddling. She turns towards the television. She lifts her legs and her left foot moves back and forth. She lifts four fingers on her left hand and her pointer finger on her right hand. Dolly falls behind her head and she uses her right hand to reach behind her and grab it. She is inspecting her doll with an intense gaze. She uses her right hand to grab her right pant leg. She finds the tag on her doll and begins to play with it. She grabs her bib with her right hand. She is getting fussy and pushes her tummy up and throws her arms back. She is squirming, turning her face into the bed. She slams her doll into the bed, then pauses and looks at me. She makes slight grunting noises. She is holding her doll in her left hand and grabs her bib with the right. She lets go of her dolly, makes a cooing noise, and turns towards the television. She reaches for her dolly and throws her arms around. She brings her dolly up to her face. She puts her hand up to her dolly’s hand. She is pointing her pinky finger on her right hand. She looks at me, her feet are moving and she lifts her legs up. She places one foot on top of the other. She is still moving and squirming around. She has dolly by the tag and waves her around in the air. She looks at dolly’s shoes, plays with the tag, and then rests dolly on her chest. Her feet are moving around continuously. She picks up dolly with her right hand. Her granny stands in the doorway and catches her attention. She watches her granny walk to the window behind her. She begins to squirm and she is getting excited. She is kicking her legs and watching her granny close the window. She is lifting her bottom from the bed. Her granny lays down on the bed next to her and she reaches her left hand towards her granny’s face. Her granny is talking to her and she watches her. She watches her granny get up and leave the room. She looks towards the television and throws herself around on the bed. She is kicking her feet and scoots herself backwards. She discovers the pile of books at the edge of the bed and stares at them. She continues to kick her feet and scoot backwards. Her little fingers are constantly moving. She looks at the ceiling and then back at the books. Her arms are flailing around. She reaches towards her bouncer that sits next to her. She brings her hands together and interlocks them, one hand holding the other. She grunts and kicks my leg. She grabs for her dolly, but then grabs her knees. Her right hand grasps her right pant leg. She begins to flail her arms and kick her legs again. She looks at the television. She puts her hands up and inspects them. She reaches for her dolly again, picks her up, and brings her up to her face to look at. Her left foot is crossed over her right foot. Her left foot is twitching back and forth. HUH!! She throws herself back again with great force. She lifts her chest several inches from the bed and kicks her feet ferociously. She is grabbing at her bouncer, grabbing her dolly. She picks her dolly up and throws her around wildly. Then she brings her dolly in close to her. She kicks me several times. She looks at the television. Her right hand is holding her right pant leg. She is making sounds of frustration, whining and whimpering. She continues to kick me and tries to throw her doll. She is turning her body towards the wall behind her. She looks at me and continues to kick me. Her right hand still grasps her right pant leg. She lifts her legs, looks at me, and then scoots herself backwards. She is pulling on her bib, pulling on her clothes, and then she uses her left hand to grab her right hand. Her frustration is progressing; she is throwing her body around, putting her arms up and glancing at me. She is making grunting noises and she stretches upward. She is kicking her legs, flailing her arms, puts her arms up and looks towards the ceiling fan. Her left hand sweeps across her left eye. She looks at me and throws up her chest, scooting back and kicking her legs. She stops and twists her body to look behind her. She hears the phone ringing. She looks towards the television and watches it for several seconds. She gets frustrated again, and she stretches upwards to look behind her. She uses my leg to push herself backwards. She discovers the quilt behind her and begins to pull it towards her. She pulls over her forehead and lets it rest there. She begins to pull it again and lift it over her face. She is using both hands to pull the quilt and uses it to rub her face on.

Perks coffee shop, afternoon (I'm boring; I know).

He drinks from straw shakes cup swirls it drinks from straw--it's only whipped cream. His head moves subtly as he speaks but his elbows and forearms are firm on the table and his back straight. His head leans toward an interlocutor but his body stays. Then he laughs and leans back in his chair, arm hanging down behind it, and he smiles. Two left fingers are on the table edge as he checks his iphone with his right hand. He's leaning forward now, again, to see a book being offered to him. His feet have been crossed, knees apart, open, relaxed. He brings them together to turn slightly in his chair then relaxes again. He plays with the edges of the iphone and raises his eyebrows and smiles at a new member of the group. He reaches across the table to touch her book. He takes up most of the table with his thick arms. He touches a paper then his chin and he frowns. Makes shapes with his left hand--the number 1, for example. Writes on her paper and speaks. For a moment his face all comes inward toward a central point. Then back to normal. Forearms flat on table, back straight. His head doesn't move, just hands (drawing) and mouth (speaking). Feet crossed on floor, knees hanging loose apart. He nods now. Laughs at his own joke. He twists his head to the right without moving the arms to look at another book. Picks up iphone, feels all four edges at once. Turns head back and forth to all the notebooks. Glances down at iphone. Leans over again. "Yes," and a firm little nod. His mouth opens and his lips move silently. Then speech and then a pause. Looks down at iphone and turns on the backlight. His right heel is pressed against the leg of the chair, ball and toes on the floor, his foot like this: L. His vowels are harsher than his companions' and he says, "Mine's atrocious." Laughs, turns phone over a couple times. Rocks back and forth. Forearms flat on table, his right hand tense and up off the table as he listens. The hand points to the book and then up off the table again. Both of his hands shift her notebook and then he takes them away. He sits in his chair not straight forward but diagonally. His back and the chair back make a 45 degree angle. His stomach pushes over his red belt. His lower back shows, and the top band of his underwear. His black t-shirt is small and he is big. His eyes are half closed because he's looking down, he looks a little sleepy. His stubble is half-grown and light brown. He curls his lips slightly inward as he speaks. Writes and speaks softly and his eyes stay on the paper. The muscles in his left forearm twitch under the skin as he writes with the mechanical pencil. He writes small. He makes shapes with his hands: A list of things on the table. Things switching places. A sphere. A cloud of things coming out of his mouth. Two parallel lines and two intersecting lines. Actually eight and eight because he uses eight fingers. A straight line around a sphere ("isn't actually straight but curvy"). A thing over here and a thing over there. Things flying out of his head. Himself and others. A plane above another plane. He pulls a book across the table. Looks over at a loud group of girls at the next table when they laugh. Eyes back to the book. One foot behind the other now. Arms flat on the table reaching all the way across. A white pocket lining sticking out of his left pocket. Hand on face; it stays still while he nods up and down to rub his face against it. Bites right middle finger cuticle. "Um." Pause. Head down, back up, hand on forehead. Back curved. Runs hand through the front of his hair and makes it stand up. Bites right fingernail (ring). Scoots back and forth in chair. Laughs but doesn't lean back. Touches ear, bites left fingernail (index). Hand on face. Squeezes fatty part of cheek. Hand back down. Laughs. Back straight again, this time tense, shoulders curving toward the front. A little spiral in the air and a nod and a laugh. His jeans are black with a red seam. His shoes are white with a red stripe (mostly vertical) and three blue (1 mostly vertical, 2 mostly horizontal). A tab in the back says Tiger. Makes more shapes with his hands: Different levels. The lower one comes up to the same height as the higher one. A top level above his head. His arms and hands surround his face in a big square. Two index fingers bounce from left to right in synchronization. Feet crossed again, knees open. Legs make a diamond. Scratches his inner thigh. Hand stays hangning between his legs. Rubs his outer thigh and hand goes back above the table. Talking louder now, harsh vowels. Rubs back of index finger on nose, back and forth and then back down to the table. He scoots his arm forward but the skin on his elbow stays behind and folds. He lifts his arm off the table and the skin catches up.

Hi guys.

I took the liberty of making up a url for us, but I will leave the rest up to you (title, layout, colors, etc).
