more word play
http://www.visualthesaurus.com/
this is one of my favourite sites at the moment it gives you lots of ideas for using different words to play with peoples minds.
Cursive- is to do with writing not cursing
prescription its another word for order, you order the medicines from the chemist.

fonty baby
Well interesting chat today with Yoke or Zoom depending on which Idenitity he was taking today, it was good that we were in a small group and were able to discuss our work and ideas together with Alex who was able to look from an outside point of view, I discussed the captcha idea which seemed to go down well, I have to find somewhere to put my work and that is the high priotity over the christmas break. I also want to design the font or find one close enough to distort on photoshop so it looks more captcha like, and also copyright my idea( to be disscussed with Alex) before people steal it !
So even though its a break from college ... work will continue.. we also have the wintershow to think about aswell, over the holiday. It was so daunting last year, it seems such a long time ago now. How things change :-)

textwork
Thinking back to last year, we had a sound poet come to see us, I didnt really like what he personally did but I loved the way the poems were written, the bits of paper were art in themselves, the way the letters flowed and grew in size as the words or sounds got stronger in velocity, he also used symbols arrows and lines to express how the sounds were made. I dont want to be a sound poet but I do feel the need to use the way of writing. The book House of Leaves used a wonderful way of using the text to add to the story, having it printed in blocks or going down the page rather than across. I feel I could use this to work along side the captchas.
