We had orientation and orchestra camp today!
Orchestra camp was cool, but only 7 people showed up, so it was more of a "let's see what music we'll play this year" session than a "hello, and welcome to the Ingraham orchestra" (we all knew each other, anyway). The highlight of the day was when we sightread a string orchestra piece that one of our cellists had written. It was pretty cool, with a classical feel, but the in the last movement there's an extremely awkward viola solo that goes up to a high C, which was uncomfortable for me. You guys probably don't care.
And now, the schedule:

0. Chamber Music
1. IB History of Americas
2. Dorchestra
3. French 4a
4. IB Biology 1 SL H
5. IB Mathematics HL
6. IB Language arts 11A H
(7. TOK, which is after school second semester)

Hello, Fellow Artists! Welcome to a world of weird sculpture, much-too-earthly "aliens", and hopefully some more maps.

One of my most in-depth ongoing projects is one by the name of Gossipiboma, a planet filled with those much-too-earthly aliens and some very interesting plants.

I also write pseudoclassical and fake folk music arranged for strings, mostly. Speaking of strings, this viola is now gone, and my 51-year-old Roth has largely taken its place. Should I upload something new?

Oh, and, uh...

FRUMPY TACO!!!!!!

I don't know... I saw these guys on NOVA on PBS recently and started looking at Metasepia videos.

I'd seen these guys before, but I hadn't noticed that they used flaps on the rear of their mantle for walking in addition to the two modified tentacles. That makes them all the more cute and vertebrate-like. I am not biased.
The pulsing zebra stripes are always awesome, too.

Oh yes, I'm trying to think about how their flaps could evolve if there was pressure to modify them further. (Land Cuddles?)
I've seen these guys but I wasn't aware that they walked most of the time.

I think it would be difficult to modify the mantle "limbs" into more powerful appendages, seeing as the mantle isn't that attached to anything. Perhaps the limbs could be anchored to an enlarged cuttlebone?
Speaking of which, how big is that buoyancy organ in an animal that spends its time on the ocean floor?

:iconsaxophlutist:
Very small actually, it's the reason it walks. They regulate buoyancy with the cuttlebone.
Looking at the cuttlebone's shape, it would seem not many genes would be needed to maintain its shape. I suppose it could go through gene duplication to allow for more complex shapes to evolve for the cuttlebone... Hmmm, this make for new spec. bio. possibilities!
I'll need to learn how to draw a cuttlefish first! Off to the drawing board!
