The Ew Continues
I only feel somewhat better enough that I can eat.
So, once again, I read far below my level, which is infuriating, because it means that I can't real Mists of Avalon until I feel better. I was really getting into that. I mean, Chasing Vermeer isn't that bad, but only because I absolutely adore Vermeer.
Vermeer is so my favorite painter. His people look so much more real than others, because he painted real people (rather than pretty young women dressed up to look like nobility, he painted a milkmaid pouring out milk into a pan). He has to have been the most ingenious Renaissance painter as far as lighting goes, and the fact that the same articles of furniture and clothing pop up in multiple painting really makes you think about the way a painter who produced so few paintings had to have lived. Seriously? Girl with a Pearl Earring is a fantasic book and the movie doesn't disappoint. I can't help but feel like he had to have intimately known all the people he painted.
Except Lady with a Red Hat. I hate that one. But the milkmaid, woman with scales, girl with a pearl earrring ... those are so amazing. (I'm guessing at the names ... I don't know them well, but I recognize them instantly as Vermeers.)
Okay, now that I'm done ...
Why am I watching Halloweentown High? It must be leftover reaction from 2 hours of politicians and 4 hours of the Gilmore Girls.
Okay ... instead of going to the bookstore, where I could have gotten a 25% discount because it's a teacher appreciation weekend and Daddy's a teacher, we got all intense about covering the pool, so we have to go tomorrow. I'm not too bummed about the discount, because it's worth an extra $5 to not have my selections reviewed by Daddy ...
