ode to the cycle of sleep.
//during the night, our senses are dulled.
//----------------------------------------
// our sight occurs mostly through cylinders,
// the predominant recepticles of dim light within our eyes,
// which are less sensitive to light. hence we see in shades of grey.

a question cast out to the void: how exactly are other senses "dulled"? in this visually saturated world, we tend to only concentrate on what we can see.

i dont know... the interesting thing with having the background as a middle-shade, is that when the colour of the lines goes thru that shade, it very nearly greys out.
like sleep having dulled ur sense of colour! hehe, maybe i'm being too literal  or too metaphirocal...
you know, i was thinking that one of the main advantages of sleep (or rather, the process of tiring), is that you get such a range of perception through a lengthy time period.
as you perceive something through a number of states between wakedness and tiredness, you build something like a database of rules as to how that thing interacts with ur sense. a multivalence recording creates polymorphism in intelligence?
gotta go to class...
