“Mighty Pair”

“I think that a good picture does not need colour, it just needs to capture the desired moment in time. While I was shooting Crested Caracaras in flight in South Texas, I noticed these two, which were perched in a very similar way. They were staring in the same direction and not moving, almost as if they were posing for me. I was amazed by their powerful personalities.”

"Si el viento sopla fuerte

cambiaré mis zapatos por raíces profundas

Dejaré que el agua subterránea de mis miedos arrastre toda la nostalgia de la tierra negra de mis pensamientos

No seré parte del fuego en el silencio, sino de la chispa divina que esculpe en las brasas de la amargura mi descubierta resiliencia

No es sustentable mi sangre si no brota de mis sueños como insumo

la semilla de la verdad no viene de las palabras dichas,

sino del corazón de lo inefable que me mueve

que lo mueve todo

No seré más ornamento de barro y pesadillas

no ocultaré nada más

no me ocultaré más en el disfraz de una memoria cómoda

la del fácil relato con sencillas letras y composición preparada

¿Para qué? ¿Para quién?

Si el viento sopla fuerte me aferraré a mi propio tronco como un álamo

Al fin y al cabo todo árbol reverdece o se transforma en una buena mesa o en una silla amarilla.

No hay más que esperar el agua de octubre, de marzo o de julio...

Mañana seremos árboles o ríos y tierra o mares u hormigas... "

do you ever draw a woman so fine and you just have to stare at your screen like a fucking loser. Like im not even being egotistical about my art I just can't believe women exist and I get to draw them and have them exist on my little computer

So... what do we think about XXX Nightshift? I just saw the trailer and I'm not so sure about it

The user interface, the dialogue box and the skills are carbon copies of Disco Elysium, the only significant difference is the skill portraits (they could be placeholders)

Game description from the trailer is quite something: "Set in 2086, you play a Patrol Op, Dinorah Katz, who is stranded at a luxury Ski resort in Antarctica. This original science-fiction setting lands you in a resort that shouldn’t exist with people that you shouldn’t know with the endless polar night covering a multitude of sins."

The studio being connected to Kaur Kender also raises some questions...

I'm hoping at least one of these "Disco Elysium spiritual successors" will be half as good as the original.... am I being too harsh or are the vibes just off??

From The New York Times; Dec. 30, 1920

SELMA KURZ HERE FOR AMERICAN TOUR; Famous Polish Prima Donna Has Mastered Her Fear of an Atlantic Crossing. NOTABLE CAREER ABROAD Long Favorite of the Vienna Opera Going Public, She Owes Her Success to a Chance Discovery of Her Voice.

Selma Kurz; known throughout Europe ‘as a leading coloratura soprano and famous particularly for her echievements at the Vienna Opera House, of. which she has been the pride for many years, has arrived in this city, almost unannounced, to make a tour of the United States.’ Her first appearance will be on Sunday, Jan. 9, at the Hippodrome with the National Symphony Orchestra, of which Artur Bodansky is conductor. In an interview with a Times reporter in her suite at the St.Regia; Mme.Kurz yesterday expressed keen delight over her forthcoming opportunity to sing before the American public, which she has been informed is most cordial. She is under the management of Otokar Bartik. Mme. Kyrz’s rise in the operatic.world is the.story of a girl in: humble surroundings, whose gift of song, discovered. by accident, was. developed by wealthy benefactors, who had the satisfaction in return of seeing their protége sought by the leading operatic managers of Europe. At Covent Garden, London, she won the admiration of British audiences and her success was no less when she sang in Paris. In thé days of the Czar she was literally showered with gold’ and gems when she sang .in Moscow and Petrograd.

Yet Mme.. Kurz somewhat wistfully admitted yesterday, as she reclined on a couch recuperating from her voyage and from her first strenuous. sight-seeingi n New-York, that hey destiny in her A hood days seemed” to lead to no more hopeful. than the life of a seamstress. , ‘““My parents were poor,”’ said Mme. Kurz, “‘and my needlework was necessary to help keep our family of eleven children together. My father was an umbrella mender in the little town of Bieliza, Poland. As I was skillful with the needle, I devoted most of my time to needlework, Perhaps it was that which made me want to sing to break the tedium of the work. ‘‘‘‘ In the factory where I used to work t| 1: often burst into song almost unconsciously. Sometimes I did not realize what was doing until the forewoman would touch me on the shoulder and give me this gentle reprimand: * You. should not sing so tempo—so slowly—because the other girls are. listening,- and it makes them work slowly, too. You should sing a lively melody, stitch . they will stitch with more spee While singing ‘as shé went about hérduties at home one day the giris voice attracted the attention of two boy playmates of her brother Mano, now a resident of San Francisco. They told the cantor of the synagogue in Bieliza about the wonderful voice they had heard, and on seeking. her out and hearing her sing he wee equally impréssed. He . inte ed in her behalf with -a wealthy Polish family, who agreed to provide for her musical education, When she appeared in. Vienna in the ttile réle of Thomas's "Mignon ’’ her success was immediate.

Mme. Kurz has a voice of great compass, her range being from low. A. to High F. Tp. describing it. Mr. Bartik a that Kienzl, composer of the ras ‘ The Evangelist ’ and “ Ran des Vaohes,' has. confirmed several times, with the watch in hand, that her trill has lasted forty seconds.’’ — her principarts are Gilda, Rigoletto; Luela the Queen, in — Meyerbeer's “ Huguenots * ; the title réles. in ‘‘ Traviata,”’ Lakmé,’’ and ‘ Dinorah ’’; Rosina, in ‘ The Barber of Seville ’’; Adina, in “ Elisir ��' Amina in La sonnambula; Norina, Don Pasquale ”’ Marie, in “La Fille du régiment‘; Queen of the Night, in Mozart's and Martha’; Elvira, in “‘ Ernani,”’ Other than coloratura parts include Madame Butterfly.”Mignon'', Eva in Meistersinger,’’ and Marguerite, in ‘' Faust. In deference to the American public a number of selections in English during her present tour. Among. these are ‘Il Penseroso,’’ by Handel, to Milton’s ‘words, and a number of familiar lyrics. She sings in French, Italian and Polish. In addition and: Polish, in addition English Mme. has been occasioned largely by the attractive compensation given ‘to prominent artists'here. It is necessary for her: to reco re her finances because, as she explain ever since the beginning of the war she has devoted her services to. the Vienna Opera’ House without charge, as did moſt of the other stars, who Were willing ~ ——— financial remuneration rather than see opera come to a standstill She planned to come to America ‘when Heinrich: Conried was head of the Metropolitan Opera company. She then contracted ninety performances, tly the agreement was not eesh ould "te said . that “her trip” to s time was marked by. no tuntoward — although she admitted that she was quite seasick the first day.

i forgot my menorah (dinosaur shaped--we call it the dinorah) at home, and my roommate has forbidden me from just using kitchen oils in little tinfoil cups as a makeshift menorah because it's apparently a "fire hazard" and i'll "burn the apartment down" so :/
