Jack The Ripper's Face 'Revealed'.
Exciting, if faintly implausible, news (alright, it's two years old, but its news to me). Using e-fit techniques, investigators have released an image of Jack The Ripper's face. Here he is, the grisly beast:
Um. Is it just me, or...
Yeah. Chilling.

The Fall
We watched The Fall a couple of nights ago. It was directed by Tarsem Singh, the same fella who did The Cell. It was beautiful and the story was great. Just check out some of the stills on the imdb page. Gorgeous. The little girl who plays Alexandria, Catinca Untaru, was absolutely wonderful. Like she wasn't even acting. She broke my heart when she cried and made me laugh so much when she just acted like a little girl. |

Michelangelo vs. van Eyck
I am currently taking a seminar in which we're looking at the "Renaissance" and its displacement of the "Medieval" (you can tell by my quotation marks the nature of the course). The fact is, once you start looking into it, you do notice that even today we have inherited the propagandistic view of Vasari and his ilk, and never sufficiently reëxamined that view. Truth be told, I have always thought that the Northern art was, in general, vastly superior to the Southern. (I wouldn't dare say this to certain professors.) First there is the consideration of medium. So much of Italian art, with its predominance of fresco, looks flat and chalky to me, and the perspective, although coldly correct, fails to bring with it the magic of being in the space. Sophisticated play of light is frequently absent. The charming detail and attention to nature so characteristic of Northern artists is avoided for the sake of composition and the slavish, neoclassical belief that the parts should never obfuscate the whole, and so we may get a holy family, with nothing else to lay our eyes upon, and very little charm indeed. Panofsky writes that "Michelangelo is said to have remarked . . . that Flemish paintings would bring tears to the eyes of the devout, though these were mostly 'women, young girls, clerics, nuns and gentlefolk without much understanding for the true harmony of art'" (Early Netherlandish Painting). Panofsky observes in the same work that "the direct juxtaposition of the minutiae of an interior with a vast, almost cosmic panorama, of the microscopic with the telescopic, so to speak" is "the great secret of Eyckian painting: the simultaneous realization, and, in a sense, reconciliation, of the 'two infinites,' the infinitesimally small and the infinitely large. It is this secret that intrigued the Italians, and that always eluded them." Without further ado, there are details of van Eyck's "disharmonious" Madonna van der Paele of 1436 below the cut.  ( disharmonious details . . . )

Does Steampunk have to be Victorian gentlemen?
I was on a pannel over the weekend, where over pannalists informed the crowd that you ""cannot be steampunk in the summertime in a hot climate". I dissagree: a lot of Abney Park asthetic comes from the era of English occupation of India. Plus, shorts are a MUST for proper adventuring attire... Eatcha think? Can a dressed down summer steampunk still work? |

farewell my friend
i know i rarely make personal posts anymore but this just makes me so sad everytime i think about it and i had to get it out. early yesterday morning my dog daisy was killed when my mother accidentally backed over her with the car in our driveway. she was taking my sister to her mcat testing site for the exam she would need in order to apply to medical school. my father had insisted that my sister get to the test site ridiculously early so that they could be absolutely sure they could find parking and check in on time. in the midst of all the anxiety, daisy managed to slip out the garage door when no one was watching and run around the driveway. she usually doesn't even want to lift her head that early in the morning but all the tension present in the room must have set her off and made her think she was being abandoned. my mom managed to see her as she was pulling out and urged my dad to get the dog back inside. he would not listen and instead repeatedly told her just to leave. he assured her that the dog would probably just move aside on her own. she has a habit of doing this routine and usually she is sensible enough to move out of the way. this time she didn't.    Daisy ( goodbye... ) |

woohoo
I said I thought the replica pistol must have been an officer's piece from the Napoleonic Wars so we researched the name inscribed on it and found out it was a replica of the pistol used by Etienne-Jacques-Joseph-Alexandre MacDonald. I was right, heheheh. my collection of useless information about weaponry actually had a use, lol. I shall return. the troll |
