Spending over 30 pages in a boat with Ged, just sailing into and out of rain, watching pages go by and knowing that a Big Dang Whatever is going to happen & no idea what it will be. I am the wind, the waves, I am the gulls and the horizon and the darkness. I am also almost out of pages! HURRY, GED!

There's a group (colony?) of them on Lambay Island here off the east coast of N Co Dublin. How'd that one get all the way over there to you?

Roland Barthes as a young man. (Itโ€™s 1929, so heโ€™s 13 or 14.) He is smiling and sitting on a low wall. He wears shorts and dark socks that reach up almost to his knees. Over what seems to be a dark jumper and a white shirt he has a long coat draped over his shoulders like a cap. His hand are crossed (right over left) in his lap.

Roland Barthes is dressed for the approach of autumn but his love for you will still be strong after the boys of summer have gone:

Another excellent and fun thread, thanks to an almost comical plot twist.

This is one of the best books I've read in ages. Yilin's selections, her translations, and her observations are a beautiful and gentle introduction to Chinese poetry.

The whole reason it came to mind is an Irish account that follows past Top 10 songs posted about Shakira, and I suddenly remembered one of his posts about a dishwasher or porter who sang the opening of Hips Don't Lie for days. I think the post was even titled "Shakira, Shakira". ๐Ÿ˜‚

I hope there's no dirt on Soap & Glory products, because I've finally tried some of them and I'm about to upend my entire routine and replace everything I own with their stuff. The pink scent makes me feel happy. (?)

He might have had a book, I can't recall. That was when mommyblogging, Perez Hilton, and others were in full swing and quite a few of them got book deals. I simply can't remember a name at all. Was Robert a pseud?

Does anybody remember that blogger in the early 2000s who was a maitre d' or concierge at a restaurant in NYC? He posted anonymously and had some amazing anecdotes about back-of-house operations. I can't recall the name of the blog and a web search has proven futile.

y'know, you deserve some chill time, hanging out playing a cozy little RPG where maybe you spend 20 minutes just talking about how good noodles are
in Stewpot, you play adventurers who retire from the dungeon grind and settle down to start up their own pub
or noodle shop

Ivan Aivazovsky's painting "Ship on Stormy Seas" depicts a wildly canting sailing ship in the middle distance of a storm-ridden sea. In the foreground, a wave of flawless translucent blue forms, and it's so incredibly depicted I could just vomit.

I recently learned about Russian painter Ivan Aivazosky and I may never recover. I don't think I've ever seen water done like he does it. I don't think I've ever felt an artist loved water as much as I feel he must have. It's so incredible I could vomit.

Oasis in Dublin brings back memories of Mike Flowers - Lou Reed when asked if he had heard of Oasis - "Not that I would know. Oh, Wonderwall? The one I know is the Mike Flowers one. That is one of the funniest things I've ever heard in my life."

Weleda smells like rosemary and a few other herbs. I'm not sure it would be classified as "subtle", but it's definitely herby rather than flowery or fruity. Get the Skin Food Light โ€” the other Skin Food is very, very thick. I'm also fond of L'Occitaine's Lemon Verbena โ€” a very light texture.
