yamamanama3 hours until the vernal equinox
It's like Callabrion was trying to force his way into heaven for the last few weeks but Scathiel isn't letting him take control of heaven without a fight, and with the vernal equinox, things are going from bad to worse.
I was bewildered by a sunshower when I got off at Park Street, and then the sunset was unreally yellow.
A kid explained communism to his friend as a thing where everyone gets the same thing no matter what they do and people drink Pepsi instead of Coke. Actually, he just sort of implied the last part.
Catherine remarked at how crowded the train was.
She's not an artist but she's a teacher and some of her kids are sketching a Van Gogh portrait. She imagines a sort of Humans of New York with my stuff and asked me if I've sketched people anywhere else.
She said that one of her favorite things at the MFA is the wire sculpture above one of the entrances to the contemporary galleries.
I still think Katherine is the correct way to spell it.
The woman with a floral scarf was really happy to be drawn and I wanted to talk to her a bit more but she got off at Downtown Crossing while there was a crowd of people between me/Catherine and her.
I saw a woman with subtle purple hair, a woman with lilac-coloring in blonde hair, a man with neon red hair, and a few women with green hair.
Someone was talking about how Goethe wrote The Sorrows Of Young Werther to come to terms with his own suicidal feelings regarding unrequited love and his friend's suicide and after it was published, people all over Europe started killing themselves in imitation of Werther.
The plot is this: Werther is smitten by Charlotte but she's already betrothed to Albert (the t is silent here) and she has 8 siblings to take care of, so Werther kills himself.
Everyone was dressed in what I think is Edwardian-era fashions.
Werther never leaves the stage, and whenever he has an aria, what I think are scenes from old films are projected on the back walls. The team imagined it as Werther looking back on his life and the ARTery sees it as Werther's presence affecting everyone's lives.
Also, I think that Sophie, Charlotte's sister, had a thing for Werther.
It starts out giddy and then becomes darker and darker as Werther sinks into despair. It begins with kids rehearsing a Christmas carol in July, and as if in response, the air outside became numbingly cold.
As the opera goes on, Charlotte's dress fades from green to white.
Esther painted a rainbow aster and loved her way-too-quick portrait. I've drawn better portraits between two stations, you can just ask Olivia, but I've never dropped things while the train took a sharp turn.
The only variant I've been exposed to recently is Eszter, which makes sense, as the name Esther has long-since fallen out of fashion and much like Albert or Cantianilla and not like Emma or Ruby, has not experienced a resurgence.
I don't have to ask how to spell Amanda, Meg, or Natalie, although I do instinctively type "mega" as in "mega man" and not as in "megan" when I mean to type "meg."
Amanda's boyfriend doesn't discriminate with the Dune books, but I've only read five of Frank's books, will probably read the sixth one of these days, and most likely won't bother with anything not written by Frank.
I told Amanda why I'm waiting to read Game of Thrones and how I own Heresy and Inquisition but not Crusade. There are reviews of Crusade out there. Maybe they were advance copies. I couldn't find the fucking thing anywhere. Also, it is 2016 and I have no idea if Luminous Chaos will ever be released in paperback or when the third book is coming out. Also, I have not a clue what's going to happen to The Spindle of Necessity by Valente without Night Shade Books around.
Michael Swanwick once said not to make your first novel part of a trilogy.
I told her about Paula Volsky and the idea of a hereditary magicked class becoming obsolete due to technological progress, and The Black Company. If A Game Of Thrones is a fantasy War of the Roses, then the Black Company is a fantasy Thirty Years War.
You could make the case that the Congo Wars were a modern day Thirty Years War.
Meg has a necklace that was a watch and on the other side, it's a skeleton watch. The glass it's encased in is lensed for easier viewing.
burning question: wait, Charlotte isn't the capital of North Carolina?
I know what the capital of Turkmenistan is, by the way. It's Ashgabat. In my defense, Pat McCrory himself called Charlotte the capital and he lives there. Also, in my defense, Turkmenistan is a special kind of crazy.
