It's odd. Some days I could easily type one essay length post after the other, other days... thoughts are sluggish, the words never quite come together in my head, the English feels wrong... there are even more typos than usual. If I actually finish something, most of the time I end up deleting it again. Hormones?? Except I'm not sure there is a pattern... Might also be lack of sleep, of course, what with my rather irregular sleeping pattern.

Anyway. Sunday my sister and I drove to Krems to see Liebe, Tod und Leidenschaft. Geschichten aus dem Zarenreich (whence the picture from yesterday's post), which was pretty interesting. Even while in some cases the extreme realism isn't exactly my kind of thing, there's some basic attraction, the opposite of those times when I look at a work of art and think I ought to like it, because it's beautiful in ways I usually appreciate, but find it impossible to connect on an emotional level. The balance between art and awareness of social problems works really well most of the time. And some of the paintings are truly terrific, the way the light is handled, the details...

It being Sunday it was of course an unpleasantly cold, windy day, threatening rain.



Meme-time. Er, well. PotC was a long time ago, but this? Story of my life, really.
