Somebody is obviously having a very morbid day... ;) I tried writing another list and found myself coming back to this!

I'm not sure about the second part of this...using a metatext to elaborate...I guess technically, since this blog is in HTML and CSS, this is a metatext already...so I'll just elaborate...

If I were to develop this idea for Project #4, I could create a multimedia piece suggesting the emotions and events of each day, kind of like a sensory collage of inputs. I could also contrast these bad days with someone else's good days, or interweave them with someone else's bad days. In thinking about this, I am reminded of Akira Kurasawa's film Dreams, which tells the story of a man through 5 of his nightmares. You get to know him and his life through what he dreams about. I think maybe something like that can be done with this idea.

People are usually really good at complaining, so I think this is a great idea for getting other people to collaborate with you on your project. It shouldn't be hard to find someone who is having a bad day and wants to submit something in writing about how awful it is. I like the idea of a visual representation of mood, too.
