Bonjour Montreal!

Our current D&D campaign is wrapping up soon so I kept the tradition of painting my character’s mini, only this time I also foam-crafted him a fantasy library scene to live inside. (He’s a bit of a bookworm.) I’m really happy with what I was able to craft from leftover stuff.

You can get into deep debates about the role of language in the human mind, but no one would suggest that it represents the totality of our experience. Humans obviously enjoy a rich sensorium — one that goes way beyond the “big five”, by the way. Our language draws on these sensations; vibrates against them.

We have a world to use language in, a world to compare language against.

The wind may still be cold but it’s great to see new, red buds popping up everywhere.
