Jun. 26th, 2011 06:54 amWent to the library yesterday. Took out this book that I noticed from the corner of my eye, about how standardized tests are doing much more harm than good for students. Got a couple of books on job interviews, and also took out volume 1 each of Full Moon wo Sagashite and Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles.

Tried scanning something that I had spent nearly the whole morning working on. For a while, we haven't been able to print anything at home, but now, it's become apparent that the printer just isn't able to communicate with our computer at all for some reason. Mom tried to fix it up, but ended up deciding that we should take it down to Dad's shop to see if it works there.
That said, I had to use Dad's camera to take a picture of said pic. But anyway, here it is (though it still has yet to show up in my gallery):

Okay, so I can understand pink not being a rainbow color according to science (the electromagnetic spectrum has light right between infra-red and ultra-violet), but why not in art? I mean, white and black are the respective presence and absence of all colors, and brown doesn't really fit anywhere on the color wheel, but pink fits perfectly between red and purple. Also, why is indigo classified separately from blue? I can understand other languages distinguishing colors differently than we do, but except for what we use ROY-G-BIV to refer to, indigo is just one of the darker shades of blue.
In any case, I think everything fits perfectly with the kind of scheme depicted in the pic. Twelve colors in all, there are also twelve birthstones (not depicted) that could each go with an element as well, and an exact set twelve elements which works much better than my former Pokemon-based elemental set. I only wish all RPGs made use of all of them (maybe except Time and Space).

Speaking of DeviantArt, here's another commission I've had someone finish for me, this being a refined version of the Vanilla pic I previously had mchemfan draw for me:

Finally, Mom told me last night that Brian met the guy who created Wikipedia at a conference. (Congratulations, Bri!)
