Cubism was a 20th century avant-garde movement, pioneered by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. It revolutionized European art and inspired changes in music and literature. The first branch of cubism, known as Analytic Cubism. It was both radical and influential as a short but highly significant art movement between 1908 and 1911 mainly in France. In its second phase, Synthetic Cubism, (using synthetic materials in the art) the movement spread and remained vital until around 1919.

People that chose Cubist paintings as their favorite art form tend to be very individualized people. They are more extroverted and less afraid of speaking their opinions then other people. They tend to be progressive and are very forward thinking. As the cubist painting is like looking into a shattered mirror where you can see different angles of the images, the people that prefer these paintings like looking at all angles of a problem. These people are intelligent and they are the transformers of our generation. They look beyond what is seen into what things could become. They are ready to leave the ideas of the past behind and look at what the future has to offer.

Pregnancy oddments

I recently co-opted one of the big long pillows from the downstairs couch to sleep with, since I'd heard this might keep me from being so stiff and sore in the hips and lower back when I wake up. Took me a couple of nights to get used to it, but it does seem to be working. The cats, however, also like it; getting up may no longer have me creaking when I move, but it invariably involves disentangling myself from a big cushy pillow with a cat draped over it. This is not good for motivating oneself out of bed in the morning.

Yesterday Rose was not pummelling me as thoroughly as has been her wont. I figured she must have just moved such that her wiggling around was either more restricted or harder to feel, but since my doctor had told me I should start keeping an eye on how much she's moving, I roamed around the internets for info anyway. Counting fetal movements is apparently a pretty standard recommendation in the third trimester, so there was plenty of advice to be found. One site suggested that if your baby insists on snoozing instead of moving when you try to do this tally, one thing you can try is lying on your stomach for a second. This is very uncomfortable at this point (much like trying to lie down with your tummy over a big rock) but the results were pretty hilarious: the pummelling came back almost immediately and with some ferocity. Clearly someone was not happy with me.
