A stone in your shoe is an irritation. A stone on a stick is a vital tool.

If you are alone outside at night, breathing the right air, anything can be magical.

Three satyrs supporting a basin, found in a house in Pompeii.

Dat basin.

(I wonder why they have their hands out? What are they stopping? Do they not want me near their basin?)

I don’t think that birds appreciate what they have, and that irreverence of theirs is truly admirable.

As someone who routinely decimates meshes, I can confirm that it feels a little like dying. Or being more honest. Same thing?

Looking for love in all the wrong places.

THAT GUM YOU LIKE IS GOING TO COME BACK IN STYLE.

I don’t think that I committed any atrocities while wearing this manicure, but I have no way of being sure.

If you didn’t get an adrenaline boost upon seeing this pattern, you probably haven’t seen Twin Peaks. You should see it; it is amazingly funny and chillingly creepy.

I had to get through those other boring manicures to get to this one. I had been planning it for a while, but I was waiting until necessity made my nails short enough to handle wraps better. Much better than my first wrap attempt, I think.

Boy, I sure am bad at updating. And taking pics of paint jobs when they’re fresh.

On the other hand, I sure am good at accidentally getting my shoes in shots.

“The most intriguing duel fought between women, and the sole one that featured exposed breasts, took place in August 1892 in Verduz, the capitol of Liechtenstein, between Princess Pauline Metternich and the Countess Kielmannsegg. It has gone down in history as the first “emancipated duel” because all parties involved, including the principals and their seconds were female… Before the proceedings began, the baroness pointed out that many insignificant injuries in duels often became septic due to strips of clothing being driven into the wound by the point of a sword. To counter this danger she prudently suggested that both parties should fight stripped of any garments above the waist. Certainly, Baroness Lubinska was ahead of her time, taking an even more radical take on the (at the time) widely dismissed theories of British surgeon Joseph Lister, who in 1870 revolutionized surgical procedures with the introduction of antiseptic.

With the precautions Baroness Lubinska recommended, the topless women duelists were less likely to suffer from an infection; indeed, it was a smart idea to fight semiclad. Given the practicality of the baroness’ suggestion and the “emancipated” nature of the duel, it was agreed that the women would disrobe—after all, there would be no men present to ogle them. For the women, the decision to unbutton the tops of their dresses was not sexual; it was simply a way of preventing a duel of first blood from becoming a duel to the death.

…

It is humorous that most recounts of this historic event fail to mention two important things: the winner of the duel (Princess Metternich) and the reason why the women came to arms in the first place—they disagreed over the floral arrangements for an upcoming musical exhibition.”

The first rule of topless victorian ladies swordfighting club is that topless victorian ladies swordfighting club is not to be mentioned in mixed company.

The second rule is naught but an emphatic repeating of the first.

When I was young and high on emotions, one of the few things I could do to feel magical was to go walk barefoot over moss and in the rain.

I Let Myself Drain (Dwarf) by Jan Fabre

I definitely feel like this whenever I see work that I truly admire.

“А life-size wax sculpture of a man, rammed into a painting made by a great Serbian artist. The sculpture is Fabre’s alter ego: an artist in the role of a martyr. Defeated by his ancestors, the alter ego accepts the fact that he will never be equal to the grand masters of the past, and will never experience their fame.”
