haha for some reason Huffington Post put together a slideshow of John Boehner crying.
I really wanted to check out Tusheti before I left Georgia, but the road was cloooosed. Go to the blog and see how cool it looks. They do beer-brewing, not just wine-makin’.
found this while answerin your questionnaire, umnica
Miracolosa Immagine di Maria Santissima della Quercia che si venera nella Chiesa dei PP Domenicani presso Viterbo
A devotional image of the Madonna of the Oak in Viterbo, Italy. St Dominic and St Catherine of Siena are praying at the foot of the tree.
This is a cool blog but I also sort of like religious art anyway (my favorite section of the Getty in LA.). A pretty consistent theme of magical realism I suppose.
Peeps in one of the Chinese dynasties really dug it too, they kept European missionaries to draw their royalty in that style.
I will judge you if you use the word “pretentious”.
chances are you’re a neanderthal.
it’s really a 19th century French word that reflects the anxieties of that bygone world; a world where a burgeoning bourgeoisie confronted the artistic hegemony of the aristocracy, where the movement and synthesis between mid-culture and high-culture was constantly blurred and blurring.
a n00b was called prétentieux.
now it’s used by creatively-stunted
guardians ofreactionaries from the political-aesthetic status quo against anyone who even mildly gives a shit.

Walker (Alex Cox of Repo Man fame, 1987)
This a film based on some American jerk who became president of Nicaragua for a short amount of time from 1856-57. It has a fun approach to the narrative; the writer hella incorporated the jingo-istic war-mongering discourse of the time into William Walker’s character in an absurd fashion (among other humorous idiosyncrasies) for comedy effect and political critique~
not a 10 but its pretty fun, silly, and on netflix instant! other points of merit: Criterion, soundtrack by Joe Strummer, cool style/concept for taking on a historical event
i’m posting my picture-practicin’ over there now~
also other pictures I want to draw later/inspiration
