1. Somewhere among all my Bad Dreams, I dreamed about Brian Jones (probably because it was his birthday recently). His hair was beautiful (in my dream and in real life). He was my first Rolling Stones crush.
2. This painting just makes me feel good:
20th C Mary Elizabeth Price (American Impressionist, 1877-1965) ~ Hollyhock Panel
3. I saw at least a dozen tiny baby fish in my pond tonight.
4. I want to read this book. I hope the rest of it lives up to this excerpt:
“The Victorian period was not only a haunted age; it was also, in every sense of the word, a hallucinatory age, lending itself to every type of illusion, even at the level of bricks and mortar. The Victorian house, the Victorian street, encouraged illusion and hallucination, the Victorian theatre was a hotbed of optical tricks, only the kitchen escaped the obsession with the manufacture of articles which appeared to be something else: moneyboxes disguised as books, substantial-looking doors that on examination was merely cunning paintwork, solid-looking chairs that were, in fact, featherlight, being manufactured from papier mache.”
- Ronald Pearsall, The Table-Rappers: The Victorians and the Occult
5.
“I am not eccentric. It’s just that I am more alive than most people. I am an unpopular electric eel set in a pond of goldfish.”
- Edith Sitwell
6. Happy Birthday Rembrandt, even though you really depress me.
7. I don't have any profound words of my own lately (ever?), so I have to borrow other people's.
8. I don't feel like talking about my mental health issues tonight, even though that's the biggest and most overwhelming part of my life at the moment.
9. I wish I had something overwhelmingly beautiful to say.
10. I wish the world could be extra kind to me right now. I'm extremely sensitive at the moment.
