When I was a kid a bunch of us would get into marathon game sessions, playing five, six or seven hours a day for days on end - monopoly, checkers, chess. In each case, after two or three days of this I'd start seeing the world differently. If I saw anything yellow I'd think of Marvin Gardens, the word railroad would prompt B&O and Reading. After 50 games of chess I couldn't see two vertical objects without wondering what my next move would be.
Well it's happening again. After turning a BUNCH of magic wands I'm starting to look at everything and wondering what they'd look like if spun around various axis (sp?). Combine that with my recent insights into How to Become a Studio Woodworker (see rec.woodworking) and titles for an existing piece pops into my head or a title inspires a turning.
