There's No Such Thing As A Famous Author Anymore
Reblogged from Vampire Syndrome Blog:
Sorry, Virginia, even Santa Claus agrees there's no such thing as a "famous author" anymore.
And this may be a good thing.
We live in a culture which doles out celebrity to "quack dynasties" of families who are famous just for being famous. You know who they are, whether you want to or not.
No surprise that in such a "culture", the authors, the dreamers, the creators are receding into the shadows of marginalization.

THE RUIN OF MUMMIES
Recently, I gave a talk at Bart's Pathology Museum in London on the Victorian attitude towards ancient Egyptian mummies. The event was sponsored by Hendricks , the gin manufacturers.
In the 18th century London, gin was often termed 'mother's ruin', due to its then apparently deleterious effects on the health of its consumers, and women in particular. So it seemed apposite that the title 'Mummy's Ruin' be given to the talk and this article, which is a record of some...
EAT, DRINK & BE MERRY: celebrations in ancient Egypt (PART ONE)
Now we are in that strange no-man's land of time - between Christmas and New Year - it is a good time to show (pictorially) how the ancient Egyptians celebrated the important occasions in life.

Flash Movie Review: Saving Mr. Banks
There is a place where all the should do's, have to do's and suppose to do's in life cannot infiltrate; it is in one's memories. Some of these remembrances may be average such as a friend's phone number or a bank account number; however, there is a special area where the cherished memories are stored. It is in this place where I keep my fondest memories that get quick access to my heart.

Books Are Magical
Books have the ability to do amazing things. When I was a child life was very difficult but I found that grabbing a book and finding a place away from the chaos that surrounded me could make me feel safe. A book for a child has the ability to make them dream, to use their imagination. Books for a child can make them curious about the world around them. They can also make learning fun.
Books take you far and wide on an amazing adventure. The characters have the ability to make...

Art and obsession
Reblogged from Cristian Mihai:
"OK, I got Velazquez portraitof the Pope Innocent X.Quite an ambivalent studyof absolute power.And here comes Francis Bacon.Despite never having seenthis painting in person,Bacon became so obsessedwith itthat he compulsively repainted itover and over again,each versionmore horrific than the previous.
