yamamanamaAshley’s back from London or whatever.
I feel a chill all through my body. Then a feeling as if a weight was pressing down on me. Nope. Not my imagination. Not my imagination at all.
And the bathroom at Braintree Station was locked. Otherwise, it wasn't a bad day at all.
Eva has an octopus tattooed on one arm and a Miyazaki-themed scene with Totoro and sootballs and Calcifer and Sophie and Yakul from Princess Mononoke. She told me that Miyazaki is coming out of retirement for a new movie. She has pins with things like “I (cat picture) cats” and "uh oh" and her rings depicted serpents or centipedes.
They were serving gelato and sorbetto in the cafeteria.
I had a mixed berry sorbetto.
Ther was a man with tattoos of swifts and a dagger and a skull covered in dozens of eyes.
A girl said "It's not contemporary art. It's a chair." Some things are both but the one they were seated in wasn't.
There were people from the Netherlands and his kid asked where’s Boston on the map and it’s way way way way over there. It’s around 5000 km by air from Boston to London and Google tells me that it’s around 5000 km from Cork, Ireland to Sölƶa-Ġala, Noxçiyçö (Chechnya). Map scales are all screwed up because there’s no one to one way to project the surface of a sphere onto a flat surface.
I also heard people speaking Greek and Somali.
There's an exhibit on places visited by Giacomo Casanova, Venice, where masks were worn in public from October to Lent in order to break down the traditional class structures and protocols and to give a sense of sexual freedom; Paris and London, which remind me of the book Arslan, in that vast empires were headed in places that were pretty much boils on the ass end of the Roman Empire; Dresden; Constantinople, which is Istanbul, not Constantinople now; St Petersburg, which was renamed Petrograd in World War I because it sounded too German and then Leningrad in 1924; Duchcov; and his amorous exploits, many of which would be downright illegal today, and his career as an alchemist and astrologer, which he used to scam people.
There was a painting depicting the opera Armide.
There is some 18th century porn, mostly involving S&M.
In theory, adultery would break down gender inequality but typically men could get away with doing things that women couldn't. Some things change, some things stay the same.
There's a portrait of a nun, and if you look on the back side, she's lifting up her habit to reveal her bare butt.
A woman had Gustav Klimt tattoos, and on her other arm, the moon.
There are fireflies outside.
burning question: how the fuck does Free Republic have operating costs of $90,000 per quarter? Even Stormfront doesn't cost that much.
