Will come back to the journal with more specific progress notes- but meanwhile just want to throw this out into the empty void- sheet music is expensive as fuck. There are no trackers utorrent clubs that distribute mass amounts of sheet music in bah sing see, (there were but i dunno, havn't been to bah sing see in a minute.)

So what is a broke jackass supposed to do? well you are supposed to have an ear for transcribing things, or use the reaper plugin/melodyne/ what have you to grab things note by note - (which is cool and totally worth attempting and blogging about).

But nah, you are broke and want sheet music? There are kindle pdfs with a dozen songs available for sale on amazon for like 15 bucks... kind of pricey. but maybe you can just read the first chapter... for free... which for sheet music isn't a chapter. its a song or two. With the exception of some things where you grab the sample and after 8 pages of foreword and introduction, that is all folks.

Also, consider creating a gmail account just for youtube- hear me out, youtube has good stuff, lectures, tutorials, play alongs, music instructional dvds posted discreetly. The trick is to use chrome, switch to a youtube user profile you use just for music, and then youtube sucks less. Make it specific? browse only in subscription mode. ALSO - I just spent 40 minutes trying to find 'Alex Weir teaches funk guitar' on YouTube and it seems to have been nuked and a website that doesn't list it is trying to monetize it. I wish to fuck I downloaded it, because it was perfect.

Willard Leroy Metcalf (USA, 1858-1925), "May Night" (1906)

Oil on canvas, 99.5 × 91.7 cm

Washington D.C., National Gallery of Art (Corcoran Collection)

[Painting of the Florence Griswold Museum (House) in Old Lyme, Connecticut]

"Completed during his second of three summers at the burgeoning artists' colony in picturesque Old Lyme, Connecticut, May Night is Willard Metcalf's homage to the creative ferment he experienced there and to its host, Florence Griswold. The focus of this moonlit nocturne is the late-Georgian-style home of Miss Florence, as she was known, the last surviving member of a prominent local shipbuilding family. Forced to take in boarders to survive financially, Miss Florence welcomed several landscape painters to her home, including Childe Hassam.

Metcalf studied at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and later in Paris at the Académie Julian, where he frequented French artist colonies, including Giverny where he visited Claude Monet. There, Metcalf's exposure to French Impressionism and the development of his interests in botany and ornithology predisposed him to accept invitations from Miss Florence and his old friend Hassam to visit Old Lyme. Apparently thrilled with the natural beauty, artistic camaraderie, and opportunities to paint outdoors, Metcalf enjoyed a productive first summer in Old Lyme in 1905. He likely conceived May Night before returning the following May, and the ambitious canvas apparently occupied him through the following autumn. His work was aided by inclement weather early that summer; as Hassam wrote to his fellow painter J. Alden Weir, "Metty [Metcalf] is working hard at a moonlight. We are all doing moonlights. The weather has been so bad that we have been forced to it."

May Night shows an ethereally dressed figure that surely represents Miss Florence, for whom Metcalf painted the canvas, crossing the shadow-strewn lawn toward a seated companion. Set beneath a canopy of stars, lush trees frame the scene; the triangular shapes of the dogwood tree, and the white horse-chestnut blossoms echo those of the women's pale gowns. Metcalf enhanced his painted tribute to his host in several ways. He improved on the somewhat dilapidated appearance of the mansion and grounds and rendered the house as otherworldly and nearly templelike, perhaps in reference to its nickname, Holy House. An off-center perspective and the exaggerated height of the Ionic columns emphasize the home's portico (the porch at the entrance), the most classical feature of the house. The only reminder of modern life Metcalf chose to include is the glowing yellow light seen in the doorway and the windows on the left, suggesting lamplight.

Miss Florence was thrilled with Metcalf's painting, saying it "was the best thing he had ever done." When the artist offered her May Night in exchange for room and board, however, she refused to accept it, instead encouraging him to exhibit the work in New York, where it went on to receive critical acclaim. Metcalf's work also inspired other American artists to paint moonlight views, which became something of a trademark in Old Lyme."

TotD: Okay, this is somewhere in the late ’80’s. What do we think, girls?

Monet: This was before we were born. I feel like I would have put a stop to it. Tried to, at least.

Chloe: Are those Bobby Shorts?

Monet: I don’t think so. I think Bobby Shorts are strictly jean shorts.

Chloe: So what are those?

Monet: They’re just shorts.

great, now i'm wide awake and thinking about that person on twitter who accused fanfiction writers of 'erasing' real queer literature by, like, writing stucky fic. along with some other deeply brainrotted takes and a huge misunderstanding of the prosocial and community-driven aspect of making fanworks. (for fun! without monetizing it! which is, in itself, a pretty revolutionary concept, but i'm not gonna go off about that!)

it's like—i know the people talking about this just want attention, and i shouldn't give it to them or let them hold any space whatsoever in my brain, but. it's 3am and it's my tumblr blog, so.

shaming people who read about their favorite superheroes kissing like they somehow have any sway over the homophobic publishing industry, or as if they are fundamentally incapable of reading, like, stone butch blues and 'honoring their ancestors' (literally gag me!), just because they write or consume, say, supernatural fic? that's... baffling. those two things are completely unrelated. fanfic writers do not wield the institutional power to 'erase' anything. we're just a bunch of fans on the internet. people choosing to consume a form of media you don't like or respect does not constitute erasure.

and then to cite cc and el james as your only writers who have made the transition from fic to published works? that feels like a deliberate erasure (lmao, like. actual erasure.) of the good writers out there who also wrote/read fanworks. n.k. jemisin comes to mind—an award-winning author and one of my absolute all-time favorites. neil gaiman is a self-proclaimed fic writer. andy weir! and what about filmmakers like chloe zhao? acting like we're all a bunch of diana gabaldons waiting to happen is just an intentional effort to scrape the bottom of the barrel to make a weak point.

i understand that there are valid criticisms to be leveled at fanworks—that sometimes, people file the serial numbers off their stuff and publish it or learn bad habits or what have you. and i agree with those points, even! in fact, i have my own much stronger opinions about the fetishization of gay men in fandom, or the overwhelming whiteness of many fan spaces! believe it or not, you can offer criticism without making bad points!!

but i think there's also something deeply cynical about assuming that all fanfiction writers aspire to become published authors, or are somehow responsible for the bland, derivative mediascape we find ourselves in today. like, no, bestie. that's on capitalism. sometimes people do just write for fun.

blaming a group of people who have virtually no power over the publishing industry for the failings of said industry is simply a shit argument. and acting like all fanfiction/work by authors who have written fanfiction is uniformly un-creative is hilariously narrow-minded. go read the broken earth trilogy and calm down.

Baker boys questions!!! ~ do you by any chance think the girl Lee is looking for is Neen? Or do you think they'll throw a she's married but he meets her later and is happy to move? Jamie and Pluem is it going to be a developed relationship or just an adorable friendship???

yay, another person who watches baker boys!

as for your first question, that's an interesting idea! though, isn't her character meant to be around monet's (jamie) age? i believe she is meant to be about the same age as krating (early 20s), so this wouldn't match the age punn met his first love at.

it's been hinted that monet is starting to grow feelings for krating. and as it's obvious she's not going to end up with weir, i think this would probably be the direction the show would go in!

Ernest Lawson  (Canadian-American, 1873–1939)

Spring,  ca. 1913

oil on canvas mounted on panel, 40.9 x 51.1 cm Phillips Collection

@ Wikimedia Commons  

...His work during this time reflected the paintings of his teachers, Julian Alden Weir and John Henry Twachtman, both of whom were ardent champions of American impressionism. Lawson has managed to imbue his painting with light and charm, achieved by his color palette and delicate brushwork, which seems to dance around the canvas, never quite standing still, as if capturing a spring breeze. Lawson’s palette is bright and playful, contrasting warm yellows against the cool green of the grassy knoll in the foreground. He skillfully adds dabs of blues and reds to the shadows, enhancing the boldness of the overall painting.

Duncan Phillips was an early admirer of Lawson’s work, praising his ability to combine the mastery of such artists as Monet, Twachtman and Weir. Phillips luxuriated in the "almost candied succulence to [Lawson's] glazed surfaces," and calling him a "casual and careless Bohemian," nevertheless placed him in the context of the American tradition.

The title of impressionism has been a misleading one. If Degas is an impressionist, pray what then is Monet? Pissarro, Sisley, Cézanne are impressionists, and in America there is no impropriety in attaching this handle to the works of Twachtmann, J. Alden Weir, W.L. Metcalf, Childe Hassam, Robert Henri, Robert Reid, Ernest Lawson, Paul Cornoyer, Colin Campbell Cooper, Prendergast, Luks, and Glackens. But Manet, Degas! It would have been a happier invention to have called the 1877 group independents; independent they were, each man pursuing his own rainbow. We may note an identical confusion in the mind of the public regarding the Barbizon school. Never was a group composed of such dissimilar spirits. Yet people talk about Millet and Breton, Corot and Daubigny, Rousseau and Dupré. They still say Goethe and Schiller, Beethoven and Mozart, Byron and Shelley. It is the result of mental inertia, this coupling of such widely disparate temperaments

What plotholes did you find in the recent Generation X?

My biggest issue with Generation X was Emplate/Monet and the fact that the X-Men weren’t putting any effort to track down A TEAMMATE whose body has essentially been POSSESSED by her evil brother!

Apparently Kitty thinks it’s unimportant to send out a team to look for Monet, not check on or protect the Morlocks (seriously the X-Men ALWAYS f*** over the Morlocks!), or provide proper protection to the school (that she’s weirdly chosen to put IN CENTRAL PARK: why not just force the X-kids to wear a target on their backs while you’re at it Kitty?!)

The original ‘Generation X’ AT LEAST HAD REASONS FOR WHY THEY COULDN’T TRACK DOWN EMPLATE. They’d start looking into it only for Sean’s castle to disappear, or have to deal with a mutant holding hostages at a high school, or something.

This… just kind of comes off as ‘they don’t really want to bother to look for her… -\_😕_/-’, I guess…

The problem is Christina Strain clearly wanted to do a character motivated book focusing on their personal lives; not a superhero book. So the super hero aspects feel tacked on last minute.

Where does this fit in with Resurrection and Quire’s appearance in Thor? Why is no one looking for Monet, but Jubilee races out the minute Quire is missing? Is it ACTUALLY a good idea to have mutants with physical mutations out in the real world, considering the death rate of mutants just THIS YEAR?!

Again, there’s not much of an answer because Strain didn’t really care about these continuity issues…

The other issue is once again, DeFilippis and Weir’s Academy X focused on the characters personal lives more than the superhero aspect…but it did it better.

I never really cared about many of these characters. Quire essentially repeats the same 'I’m really just misunderstood’ story arc he’s done ad nauseam since Aaron’s WATXM run; without ever REALLY honestly being sympathetic because Quire would have to face consequences for his actions for this to actually work. Hindsight was okay, and there’s very few Asian male characters in comic books, so I was okay with him. I’m largely apathetic still to Eyeboy and Nature Girl, despite being featured now in TWO to THREE BOOKS (that’s a pretty bad sign in my opinion). The appeal in these characters is their physical appearance; writers let the design do the work without giving them much of a personality.Morph was…meh. Not bad development, but not all that spectacular either. Plus I always think of 90’s cartoon Morph when he’s brought up despite them being totally different characters (I really dislike cartoon Morph, sorry not sorry!). Bling was the only character that I think had an interesting character arc in this book. Every scene with her stood out, and made the others look very empty in comparison. Jubilee’s character development…felt like a bunch of single mom stereotypes, I’m going to be honest. While I appreciated Strain letting Jubilee grow up a bit, she just never quite felt like Jubilee to me.

The problem with this series was all the characters were pretty subdued personalities past Quire and Bling; where the New X-Men had a good mix of different personality types. The power sets also in my opinion didn’t mesh very well with this team, which WAS kind of the point- but caused it to always feel like something was missing. A large part of why I picked this book up was only because of Chamber…and when you're only reading a team book for essentially one character that's secondary- THAT’S A BAD SIGN, in my opinion.

So yeah, while I think it’s 100 times better than WATXM and SMATXM; there’s still a lot of flaws, that make it look very pale in comparison to other past teen X-books.

Dear Monet Sunbeam Ladychief Weir-Monster,

Hi. How are you? I’m fine. Did you see Joker? It sure wasn’t a joke how he danced down those stairs! How is Instagram going for you? I see you have not yet been hired to endorse Bang! Energy Drinks, and that makes me happy. You are better than Bang! Energy Drinks, Monet. Maybe Fashion Nova or KO Watches, but not Bang! Energy Drinks.

Anyhoo, I see that…
