It’s actually hot today. Am I still in the Western Isles? Even Meg, my granddad’s super hyper border collie, couldn’t be arsed doing anything. If this was July it would be a sea swimming day but I’m not brave enough to attempt it in May!
In other news I got 2:54’s new album early from Amazon… It’s supposed to be out on Monday! How odd. I remember this happened years ago with Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. I was fucking smug the following day in school I can tell you!

Stations of the Cross (Lema Sabachthani), Barnett Newman (1966)
“No one gets anybody’s permission to be born. No one asks to live. Who can say he has more permission than anybody else?” - Barnett Newman
Olafur Eliasson Your black horizon / Your activity horizon (2005)
In a windowless pavilion a thin horizontal line directed through a narrow gap at eye level serves as the primary light source. The light is constantly changing colors and rotates through the color spectrum every few minutes. The light installation was calibrated to the specific light conditions of Venice. While Your activity horizon tried to capture the northern light of Iceland, Your black horizon seizes the Mediterranean light of the laguna. Accurate light recordings have been taken from sunrise to sunset to study the spectrum of light and its intensity.
What The Water Gave Me (1922) by Frida Kahlo
Florence Welch of Florence and The Machine was inspired and titled a song after this painting by Kahlo.
