"The future will be better tomorrow."
This one has always been a favorite. Whenever I run a tap for a while to get it a bit colder I think of it.
What a beautiful image. Throw two ice cubes in there and I'd drink it in a heartbeat.
A family of Great Tits occupies my birdhouse. Or they used to. I think all of the babies might have moved out already, but a few weeks ago I could hear them crying for food almost constantly.
They must have consulted an oracle to price this book just outside of the range I would pay for it.
My wife's great-uncle passed away, leaving us all his vinyls. Mostly classical, opera, and musicals but there are a few vinyls of jazz, rock, and psychedelia, including THIS. It's minimalist, psychedelic, with heavy prog influences and sounds nothing like the contemporary cultural image of "LOTR".
By giving Eris butterfly wings that look like the Lorenz System, we risk syncretizing Eris and Psyche (the OG Ancient Greek butterflygirl). But Psyche bled for Eros for the first rose (with the first rose came the world), as Adonis bled for Aphrodite, as Hyacinth bled for Apollo.
Eris has no associated sacred animals, unlike many members of the Greek pantheon. Some depictions include black bird wings and later interpretations connect her to serpents or crows; neither of these satisfy me. I propose the order Lepidoptera, for reasons that should be obvious.
Related to aforementioned Dune Phase, I've been learning a lot more about Islam. Specifically, I've been reading Meadows of Gold, a 10th century Abbasid history and one of the best pre-modern history books I've ever read. It's a delight to read and I've been learning a lot. Here are some highlights:
A really good comment from a 1980 Soviet electronic album. There is still so much to discover.
I had a really great time! A definite highlight was the Evergreen Aviation Museum. The Spruce Goose was so unbelievably large it still staggers me to remember it. Otherwise, a lot of good people, good hiking, and good food. I tried sushi for the first time and really loved it.
I never posted these four here, but I think they might be my favorite photographs taken in Taos.
