This is summer

...hills, never ending down, clover, buttercups, angry cows, nice cows. Some sunburn. cider at the pub eventually. Stream and gorge walk- climbin up rocks, sliding down waterfalls, slithering down victorian swears, ripped trousers, muddy hands, climbing up from the water on tree roots, racing, splashing. Sunny days- Kite flying across the resevoir, fed the horses, laughed at sheeps testicles, fried...

A little off topic, but...

The Resurrectionist will be screening as part of the Grand Illusion's Washington Grown film festival. The festival starts September 4th. The Resurrectionist was my last big project before Unhallowed Metropolis . It is a 30 minute horror-western-mystery film with a solid Neo-Victorian (steampunk) aesthetic.

My Future as the King of the Coffee Shop

... to enjoy sitting still for moments at a time? If so, what will I do with my time?    Paul and I argue over our final destination. Living where we live today, Paul enjoys being surrounded by his Victorian fantasy. And while I don’t honestly believe he will be able to do so painlessly, he has said that when the day comes, he will be able to completely walk away from it so that we can submerge ...

But for the background, it would be perfect if it was completely different, like a victorian pattern in gray, something to make a lot of contrast between the two styles: colorful Alice and elegant Victorian. I would love to have the entries to the left, so everything else will be to the right. No preference ...

The Age of Wordiness

...for me to get excited about.  Needless to say I would really adore historical reenactment of the Victorian Era, and none of that mucking about in the Civil War: I want something much less ... hate summer.  Every day I thank my lucky stars for air conditioning. In summary: Edith Wharton, Victorian, Regency, Jane Austen, and summer is unpleasant.  *That is reserved for Wuthering Heights: the Book ...

... the pictures I post look good only in my own Photoshop but washed out to the world. ;_; Anyway, yes.

Having arrived ridiculously early, I spent a half-hour cooling-off in one of the Victorian shelters in the cliff-top gardens. The ground floor of the hotel is a darkened warren of bars and function rooms. A woman who had been lingering just inside the entrance guided me through the interior, ...
