(I was thinking this morning about how fun it would be to learn how to fence, thus the picture.)
I haven't blogged in two weeks, though I'm not sure why. In fact, I really don't know what is going to end up here right now, so be afraid! I'm kinda just going with what's on my mind:
For Christmas I got from my parents 14 new art books! (That is probably why I haven't been posting) Two of them are about the Pre-Raphaelites, one about art nouveau, and one about William Morris, the others are about great masters or art in general or famous portraits. So today I have been soaking it all in while listening to Kevin Max's Christmas album, Holy Night, another Christmas gift. (That's right Eriol KEVIN MAX!)
I just looked over to the end of my bed and spied another perfect gift. They bought me 6 yards of the most beautiful fabric ever! It has deep plum purple velvet sections, iridescent lavender sheer sections,and shimmering paisley sections, all pieced together with a wonderful gold-trimmed purple ribbon. My mind is whirling with thoughts of what to do with it, but until I decide I'll have to be content with draping it about my shoulders and parading through the house (my family is used to this by now).
O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise,
even with my glory. Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself
will awake early. I will praise thee, O Lord, among the
people: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.
For thy mercy is great above the heavens: and thy truth
reacheth unto the clouds.
Pslam 108:1-4

When you off B? Well more like when aren't you chasing random family across the country? Crazy day is in the works!
I didn't know the pre-Raphaelites, William Morris, and art nouveau had five combined books written about them. Glad to hear you got the Kmax Christmas cd; I'm hoping his version of "O Holy Night" would shame both Michael Crawford and Josh (freakin') Groban's version. I don't hope, I know his version is far better than anyone's.
B, when can you send us pictures, cause we came away with only one decent-looking photo, and that goes for everyone else who has photos of the trip.
Queen, I got the Bob Dylan cd "Blood on the Tracks". It's from the early 70's and features some of his best singing. No joke.
The album is MARVELOUS! I'm really liking Greensleeve and O Holy Night, it is great. Anyone is better than Josh Groban.
Wish I could hear your Bob cd, and we have some pics too.
Oh good, a new post. Finally.
Sounds like your Christmas presents are very you; which is wonderful. (Say, is the word "wonderful" over-used? Probably.)
Hey, we're going to see Kevin Max soon; maybe he'll be draped in purple or dressed like a Pre-Raphaelite or something. That would be interesting.
Beyond interesting
No purple sash, think nice suit and tie.
