art & etc.
So I haven't really been doing very much - I'm studying for my boating license, and I woke up this morning with my eyes so puffy I couldn't see (I'm not sure why), and I am rediscovering just how much shin splints suck. One good thing that came out of all this knee crap is that before, shin splints would be debilitating, but now they'll start hurting and I can't help but think 'bitch, please', and another few kilometers sail (slowly) by. Never broke a bone, so I guess this is the most debilitating thing that's ever happened to me. In other news of personal injury, I hit a locker with my face the day of the chem exam. I now have a big dent in my left cheek about an inch and a half long. It looks like a facial wound from a movie - you know, the kind that's painful but oddly not disfiguring at all.
I found an artist whose work my mother and I saw in Vienna - we'd gone to the Secession to look at some of Klimt's work (the room with the Beethove frieze conviently included chairs, because you need about thirty or forty minutes to even begin to take in the entire thing) - on the intarwubs the other day.
The more interesting stuff isn't available on the intarwubs, sadly, but here's a pretty good example.
Here's some other stuff I found kind of interesting while trolling the art sector of the intarwubs.
And a link to freakishly huge sand art. I'm not sure if this is the guy who did Spiral Jetty or not. Possibly. Maybe. (via Dark Roasted Blend).
And... uh. I was going to put some of Annette Messager's stuff up, but the web's not helping me find any of the pieces that I liked, so here's Klimt's Judith holding the head of Holofernes instead. (Geez, the picture quality sucks.)
And one you've probably seen already, of Adele:
And just so you know I haven't lost my mind or anything, here is a cute invertebrate sea slug thing of some kind, an angler fish, and a snail infected with a freaky parasite called Leucochloridium_paradoxum.
Planet Earth is pretty cool, guys. Just sayin'.
