Thanks for your upvote @johnjgeddes! Yah that is what makes art so cool. I read an excerpt from James Joyce's Ulysses this morning. I was really impressed. Some of it seems kind of banal but in an interesting artistic sort of way.

yes, there's a fine line between representing reality and getting immeshed in the common place. Hardy said great art is about exceptional people experiencing exceptional events ...Well, that's the ditch on the other side of the road :)

Why do you say that? Because then it gets too weird?

because it gets unrealistic if art is always about the exceptional. It has to hold up the mirror to nature - reflect reality. It's a big concept called verisimilitude

Cool, I like it. My one South Korean friend from college always used to say she likes basic things, basic movies, art, TV shows. Like those TV shows where men have to choose a woman out of a few behind a curtain or something, and they ask them questions you know? She like normal everyday things like that even though she graduated summa cum laude from Harvard in biochemistry.
