Jean-Michel Meurice (French, 1938 – 2022).

A student at the École des Beaux-Arts in Tournai, his youth was marked by a dual passion for painting and cinema. In 1960, while serving in the army in Algeria, he produced one of his first works that brought his two passions together: a three-hundred-metre-long painted film whose motif is composed solely of the repetitive traces of fingers and brushes; projected onto a screen, it is transformed into a moving painting lasting ten minutes. Since then he has pursued a dual career as a painter and film-maker.

In 1963 he made his first trip to the United States, where he discovered painting that was free of codes, the abstraction of Ad Reinhardt and the dripping and all-over processes that had made Pollock famous.

He painted repetitive shapes (stripes or dots) on large formats, using spray cans or sponges. The traditional canvas was often replaced by plastic sheeting or other unusual supports. In 1966 he exhibited at Jean Fournier’s in Paris with Hantaï, Degottex, Buraglio, Parmentier and Rouan, and was one of the co-founders of the Support/Surface movement.

Alongside his work as a painter, he has been involved in a number of audiovisual projects since 1960. He began his work as a film-maker with a series of portraits of artists (Bram Van Velde, Sonia Delaunay, Alberto Burri, etc.), making 13 short films on art. His documentary films, which have already won 7 d’Or awards, were awarded the Grand Prix National de la Création Audiovisuelle in 1992 and the Grand Prix de la SCAM in 2010.

1 and 8 for Matt and Casey🙏🏽

Ship ask meme (still accepting but will get to the rest tomorrow as it's 1.30am :))

Sorry I took so long and sorry it's a big read again 🤣 but their first date is important to me. Really important.

1. Describe their first date.

So once again we have the um... *lovely* situation that their first proper date was between 2016 Casey and 2022 Matt. But I love it nonetheless.

During their travel from Steelport to Stilwater they wind up stopping in Harrisburg for the night. They're still a "just sex" arrangement at this point.

They get to their hotel rooms. He asks for adjoined ones because he's trying his best to keep things detached, which surprises her but she goes along with it. They reach their rooms.

“Do you want to go out for dinner or something?” “Are you asking me out on a date?” she said teasingly. He looked at her, obviously trying to assess her intent. “Yes.” he replied confidently. She looked back at him. She felt a small smile creep across her face. “Then yes.”

They need to remain inconspicuous but she doesn't want to wear sunglasses all night so she teases her hair up, lines her eyes really heavy, borrows some black lipstick, and goes full goth for the first time. Seeing her makes him not want to go out after all, but she reminds him she'll look just as hot after dinner.

They take a cab then walk along the river for a bit and manage to find a little creperie. I based this on a real life place called Au Bon Lieu located at... 1 N Third Street. Matt mentions that he used to go on holiday to France and when the waitress overhears and ends up getting into a conversation with him about it.

Past Casey, a little but not overly jealous, later frames this as 'flirting', and while the waitress does ask if the Boss is his girlfriend, she seems sympathetic when he replies "Non... um...Si seulement" ("No... um... if only.") and wishes him luck. They have a nice meal of savoury and then sweet crepes.

“Thanks Matt...” she said as he paid the bill. “This was... real nice.” There was a very minor chill in the air as they stepped out into the summer evening. Matt offered her his cardigan without her even mentioning that she was cold. “This seems suspiciously like gentleman territory, Matt.” she remarked. “Nope, definitely not, a gentleman would have a jacket.” he insisted, draping it around her shoulders. “Ohhh... then I guess I can accept.” she acquiesced, wrapping herself up in it like a blanket, enjoying the warmth where he’d been sitting against it in the restaurant. “You sure you don’t need it?” “Yeah, I'm too warm anyway.” “Then why’dya fuckin’ bring it?” she asked, realising he’d not worn it the entire time they’d been out. He shrugged and gave her a smile.

They walk back down Third Street. They pass the State Capitol building and she discusses her concerns around the presidency and how it's nice to just feel normal tonight. They keep walking and reach a bar that's "all dark wood, bright lights and pool tables." which really makes her miss her friends. It's quiet so they head inside for a cocktail. She notices him watching her.

“What?” “Nothing... you’re just so beautiful.” “C’mon Matt...”. She looked down, smiling but embarrassed. “You gotta stop saying that...” “Oh...” he looked surprised. “Sorry... I’m sure you hear it a lot... I didn’t mean to annoy you.” She shook her head. “Uh... no... I don’t... look people call me hot, fuckable... dangerously depraved comes up a lot.”. She smirked thinking about it, then frowned. “But not fuckin’ beautiful Matt.” “But... you are though...” he looked at her, puzzled, and brushed her face with his hand to encourage her to look him in the eyes again. “You must know that, right?” “Matt.” she warned, shaking her head, but she could feel her face heating up. "You’re blushing again...”. He smiled softly and leaned into her a little. “...and you’re not even drunk this time.” “Shut up...” she laughed, and kissed him to make sure he did; slowly but passionately, one hand on his thigh. His hand that was still on her face slid into her hair, and she felt the other upon her waist. Despite their location, neither of them were pulling away and his grip tightened as his tongue probed desperately into her mouth. When his restrained moan spilled into her mouth he suddenly became aware he’d gotten carried away and pulled back. “Let’s finish up and get out of here.” she whispered as they broke apart. He picked up his glass and downed his drink in one, eyes fixed on her wantonly, then smirked. “Jesus, Matt.” she chuckled as she picked up her own cocktail, but she sucked on that straw like it was sitting in the last cup of water in a fucking desert.

Obviously they end up fucking again when they reach her hotel room. But afterwards, he leaves to go to his own room, explaining he thought maybe it'd be best to have some boundaries. She calls his name just before the adjoining door closes but it's too late. He's gone.

So she goes back into her room, putting on his shirt that she ripped all the buttons off a little while ago, and curls up in bed. She feels so cold and lonely and empty. But she fights it. Until she gets a text.

"Tell him." it says, with nothing more. She might not have a clue who it's from or why it was sent, but it's all the persuasion she needs by this point. She goes in and attempts to explain, getting tied up as she always does with emotions. Matt gets a little worried about her, but she manages to continue.

She pulled her head out of her hands, sat up straight and took a breath. “Matt... I don’t think this is just sex anymore.” “What?” he asked, sounding even more concerned. “No, it is...” he reached out to grab her arm reassuringly. “It has to be.” She looked down at his warm hand on her arm. “I know it has to be.” she said, hearing the frustration in her own voice. “But it’s not.” She turned to look at him, kneeling beside him on the bed. “Look...” he said carefully “I’ve... I’ve tried my hardest, I’ve done everything I can... to...” he trailed off, looking at her sadly. “I've indulged my attraction to you and tried not to think about how I feel because... I just want you to be happy. That’s...” he swallowed. “That’s all I ever want.” “Yeah, well... maybe you’ve done too good a job.” she said gently, causing him to look at her, confused. She sighed, and everything came out at once.. “Because I need you. Even though we already fucked, I still fuckin’ need you. Right now... all I want is for you to hold me. I just want to be fuckin’ held by you and... fall asleep in your arms and all this shit that confuses the fuck outta me.”. She saw his eyes widen before she looked away, unable to meet his gaze after coming out with all of that. “Wait, you’re saying...” he spoke as if he was considering his words very carefully. “Are you saying... it’s not just sex because... you have feelings for me?” “That’s... about where I’m at, yeah.” “Fuck.” he responded, staring at her. There was silence for a moment. Then his face and tone suddenly changed from stunned to horrified. “Fuck... but... I’m leaving in... less than 3 days!” “I know.” she said. “Maybe that’s why my stupid brain is getting so attached to you.”. He looked thoughtful at that. “Because you know it can’t lead to a relationship?” She nodded. “Yeah.” “Yeah, that's probably it.” “Matt. I need you to be honest with me. Do you... have any sorta feelings for me, too?” “Well... yes, of course I do. I mean... at first I thought we were having this chat because I’d made it that bloody obvious.” “Maybe a little...” she smiled. “But I... I have to go back. I have to.” “And I’m not askin’ you not to.” “Then what do you want from me?” “...I’m not makin’ that fuckin’ speech again.” He looked at her. She shrugged at him. He pulled her in gently by the collar of the shirt and kissed her gently. “Maybe we can just... discuss this in the morning.” he suggested hesitantly. He started pulling the sheet out from under her so she could get in. She slid underneath it and towards him, and he laid back down to face her. He looked at her with just a tinge of concern on his face, then gently embraced her while she wriggled to let his arm under her neck. He was only in his boxers yet he was so warm. She finally felt herself starting to calm. She fell asleep in his arms, just like she’d asked to.

Of course, some of you may recall Casey sees pancakes as a bad omen by late 2021 and I make it a point in my writing to subtly suggest she's right. In this case? They both get killed by the end of the night. Until 2022 Casey sends that "Tell Him" message. It averts their deaths by causing her to not be in her room when the hitmen attack. Good job future Casey remembered, right?

Actually, when she sent it, she didn't know she was averting that yet, as that memory had not yet been written. Instead she was poring over that night in her head. The last thing she remembers is being curled up and alone and cold, and she wants to do something about it.

Except... was it wrong to interfere? What if it just led to another argument? He hated being woken up, if he was already asleep, and he was quite practical about these things, he would know it was unwise to get involved when he had to come back. She had no doubt that he would come back, either; his loyalty to her was unwavering. But there was a soft side to him too; a sweet side. With all their stupid jokes, he had these moments where he said and did the nicest things for her. Really, that was what was most special about him compared with her other friends. They all had their kind sides for sure. It was just that Matt was the only one who seemed to realise how much she needed that. It seemed like that kindness was extended to her other self too. Because sure, maybe gentleman didn’t bring cardigans on dates. But neither did pretty boys who remained way too hot on summer’s evenings because they’d grown up in London. But pretty boys who cared a great deal for pretty girls... girls who were always cold because they spent most of their childhood bundled up in four layers and a snowsuit, girls who always forgot to bring a jacket, girls who wouldn’t accept gentlemanly offerings... ...they might. This was only going to complicate things. But she was going to do it. Because she’d been through a lot of rough shit that she didn’t often talk to people about. With an adult perspective and some serious therapy, she saw a confused, neglected child who didn’t deserve it, and someone needed to give the girl a freaking hug. For all those times, there was nothing she could do. But this time, this one time, she could. Thank god this app was so easy to use. “Tell him.” she texted.

So that's how it all came about as it did. They have another first date once they're actually dating, where they time jump to Italy to get pizza(they were originally supposed to have pizza together in front of Nyte Blayde on the day he ends up having to time jump).

But it's obvious they both see their first date as that night at the creperie. That's why Matt chooses to recreate it for a rather important simulation.

8. What do they love most about the other? Why?

I know I'll probably miss some here but I'll just throw in what I can think of off the top of my head.

Casey thinks Matt is the coolest person ever with his goth shit and his flawless ability with tech and the fact he seems to know all of the cool music, all of the good video games. Casey loves that Matt is very attentive to what she wants and needs, very caring, very patient with her. She loves that he's so intelligent but never makes her feel stupid. She loves that he realises when she's fine to just tease and mess about with and when she needs seriousness or softness. She loves that he can cook for her and drive for her and protect her through the tech he builds. She loves that he is so loyal, and that even when he's scared, he still manages to push on and do what he fears. She loves that he couldn't give less of a fuck about gender norms which in some way makes him the manliest man she knows. She likes that he's not afraid to correct her but does it in a way that's not hurtful.

Matt thinks Casey is the coolest person ever with her doesn't-give-a-fuck attitude and her near-invincibility and her flawless skills with a gun. Matt loves her quick-wittedness and her bad jokes that are still kind of funny and that she's so intelligent without an ounce of pretentiousness about it. He loves that she is so badass and yet she has this huge heart, this endless devotion to her friends. He loves that Casey listens to every word he says and remembers his interests. He loves that she gets excited about robots and Jane Austen and card games and space and guns. He loves that she will let him pick him up and hold her anytime even though she could easily do the same to him, but knows it makes him feel strong. He does just feel stronger with him by his side, and it's not just because he protects him, its because her presence just kind of quells the fears.

But above all, for both of them, I think it's that they are so, so kind to each other. Matt's used to people ripping on him for not fitting in, or seeing the standoffish or egotistical way he comes across at first and treating him accordingly. Casey's used to people thinking she's too cool, too untouchable, too intimidating, or that she's so badass she doesn't need comfort.

They make time to be kind and soft to each other and when one of them says or does something sincere, especially Casey, I often have them expect the other one to tease them about it, but they don't. They respond with equal sincerity and the more they do that, the more it becomes a thing that they can just talk openly around each other in a way I don't think either of them ever quite reaches with the other Saints.

And that is one of the reasons why I love them.

LO SCORSO ANNO È ANDATA COSÌ…

Secondo il credo di François Truffaut, “Tre film al giorno, tre libri alla settimana, dei dischi di grande musica faranno la mia felicità fino alla fine dei miei giorni”, e come dargli torto? Tenendo conto che però i ritmi di Truffaut sono certamente inarrivabili, ne condivido di certo la filosofia. Quest’anno è andata così, però ho la pessima abitudine di non annotare i dischi che ascolto, ecco un buon proposito per il 2023.

MARTEDÌ 13 DICEMBRE 2022 - 🔸♦️SANTA LUCIA♦️🔸 Vergine e Martire Lucia di Siracusa, conosciuta come santa Lucia (Siracusa, 283 – Siracusa, 13 dicembre 304), è stata una martire cristiana di inizio IV secolo durante la grande persecuzione voluta dall’imperatore Diocleziano. È venerata come santa dalla Chiesa cattolica e dalla Chiesa ortodossa che ne onorano la memoria il 13 dicembre. È una delle sette vergini menzionate nel Canone romano e per tradizione è invocata come protettrice della vista a motivo dell'etimologia latina del suo nome (Lux, luce). Le sue spoglie mortali sono custodite nel Santuario di Lucia a Venezia. Il luogo di culto principale è la Chiesa di Santa Lucia al Sepolcro a Siracusa. Secondo l'agiografia tramandata da due antiche e distinte fonti quali una Passio del codice greco Papadoupolos e gli Atti dei Martiri entrambi risalenti alla fine del V secolo, Lucia era una giovane nata a Siracusa nel 283 d.C. Di famiglia nobile e cristiana, ma orfana di padre dall'età di cinque anni e promessa in sposa a un pagano, sin da tenera età aveva fatto segreto voto di verginità a Cristo. Sua madre, Eutychia, da anni ammalata di emorragie, spendeva ingenti somme per curarsi, ma nulla le giovava. Allora Lucia ed Eutychia si recarono pellegrine al sepolcro di Sant'Agata, martire a Catania nel 251 d.C., pregandola di intercedere per la guarigione. Giunte lì il 5 febbraio dell'anno 301, (dies natalis di Agata), Lucia si assopì durante la preghiera e vide in visione la santa catanese circondata da schiere angeliche dirle: "Lucia sorella mia, vergine consacrata a Dio, perché chiedi a me ciò che tu stessa puoi concedere? Infatti la tua fede ha giovato a tua madre ed ecco che è divenuta sana. E come per me è beneficata la città di Catania, così per te sarà onorata la città di Siracusa”. Avveratasi la guarigione di Eutychia, mentre facevano ritorno a Siracusa, Lucia esternò alla madre la sua ferma decisione di consacrare la sua verginità a Cristo, e di donare il suo patrimonio ai poveri. Per i successivi tre anni, ella visse dunque a servizio di infermi, bisognosi e vedove della città. Il pretendente, vedendo la desiderata Lucia privarsi di tutti gli averi (presso Sicilia-Siracusa) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmG2a7toeXq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

May Sarton: Journal of a Solitude Francesca Ekwuyasi: Butter Honey Pig Bread Pirkko Saisio: Passio

What's a book that you didn't expect to enjoy quite so much going in?

I don’t think enjoy is the right word for it but Daniel Stein, Interpreter by Lyudmila Ulitskaya was really, really good. Usually I avoid absolutely anything that mentions the holocaust bc hate the entire entertainment industry built around it (and that’s why I don’t want to use the word enjoy here), but my mom told me to read this book and I’m glad I did. I’d recommend it to anyone interested in theology and humanity.  

Were there any books that didn't live up to your expectations?

Probably but can’t think of any rn

Did you reread any old faves? If so which one was your favorite?

The Summer Book by Tove Jansson

Did you dnf any books?

Yes, many. I don’t believe in reading books you don’t care about. 

Did you read any books outside your usual preferred genres?

I read a lot more nonfiction than I usually do. It started with The Death of the Moth and Other Essays by Virginia Woolf and suddenly I was reading everything with the subject heading ‘essays’ in my library. As one does. 

What was your predominant format this year?

I usually just pick the one that’s easiest for me to find. I work in a library so I skim a lot of hardcover books and borrow the ones that don’t have like hundreds of holds. But that’s mostly books that are in Finnish. Also, I’m diagnosed with adhd so I have access to Finnish and Norwegian libraries for persons with print disabilities & listen to their audiobooks quite a lot. If I read in English it’s usually ebooks or audiobooks from scribd/amazon/libro/storytel/some other online sources. 

What's the longest book you read this year?

Passio by Pirkko Saisio (732 pages)

What are your top 3 anticipated 2022 releases?

Oof idk. I suck at keeping track of what’s coming out and when. But okay, I’m kind of waiting for that sequel to a hockey romance I read last(?) year. 

What books from your tbr did you not get to this year but are excited to read in 2022?

PASSIO 2023

Sabato scorso, di fronte al solito pubblico di cinquanta-sessanta-settantenni si è esibita la Cappella Musicale del Duomo di Novara per il concerto conclusivo di “Passio 2022”.Sono stati eseguiti “Exultate, Jubilate!” di Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart e “Gloria” e “Magnificat” di Antonio Vivaldi. “Passio” è il progetto che la diocesi di Novara porta avanti dal 2004 a cadenza biennale nel periodo quaresimale e pasquale, con una serie di iniziative a carattere culturale e spirituale che comprendono incontri, conferenze, mostre, concerti. Ieri sera i bravi musicisti e cantori della Cappella del Duomo di Novara, hanno voluto proporre il celeberrimo mottetto di Mozart, composto tra l’altro a Milano nel 1777, una delle sue composizioni giovanili. Se la sono cavata piuttosto bene cantori e musici diretti dal Maestro Paolo Monticelli e il soprano Annalisa Ferrara, pur con la prevedibile dispersione del suono in uno spazio molto ampio come quello del Duomo di Novara. Di grande intensità anche “Gloria”, (il K 589) e il “Magnificat” per soprano, contralto e voci miste composti nel 1717 dal “Prete Rosso”, Antonio Vivaldi. Si sa che il luogo deputato per la musica sacra è un luogo sacro, e se vogliamo, anche il particolare momento storico che noi tutti stiamo attraversando, hanno fatto del suggestivo concerto del Duomo di Novara, un momento di intima riflessione, non solo sulla “sostanza del sacro”, ma anche sulla capacità della musica sacra di saper ritagliare, nella disordinata convulsione del nostro tempo ordinario, quel momento di riflessione introspettiva assolutamente necessaria, persino al di là della appartenenza ad un credo religioso. Un bel concerto in una piovosa sera di primavera, in un luogo molto suggestivo, dovrebbe essere una scelta da fare per interrompere la banalità del vivere quotidiano. Numeroso il pubblico ma, spiace dirlo, sempre più assenti i giovani, ormai in gran parte attirati solo dall’horror vacui dei riti pagani del bere e del gozzovigliare.

VENERDI 02 DICEMBRE 2022 - ♦️ 🔸SANTA BIBIANA 🔸♦️ Bibiana, detta anche Viviana o Vibiana (Roma, 347-352 – Roma, 361-363), secondo la tradizione, è stata una giovane cristiana romana che subì il martirio sotto Flavio Claudio Giuliano. La storia legata alla santa è avvolta nella leggenda ed è menzionata per la prima volta nel Liber Pontificalis. Nel capitolo dedicato alla biografia di Papa Simplicio (468-483), si racconta che il papa « [...] consacrò una basilica dedicata alla santa martire Bibiana, che contiene il suo corpo, nelle vicinanze del Palatium Lucianum» (scil.: Licinianum, v. Horti Licinian. Le notizie storiche relative alla vita della santa sono in realtà assai scarne. Gli unici riferimenti alla sua storia si rintracciano nel testo della Passio Bibianae, opera di un autore del VII secolo, anche se del tutto inattendibili. Stando a questo testo, ricco di notizie praticamente infondate, come per esempio il martirio della santa a Roma sotto l'imperatore Giuliano (361-363), Bibiana era una giovane nobile, discendente da una famiglia cristiana dai tempi di Costantino (306-337). Bibiana sarebbe nata a Roma nel 347-352 da Flaviano, un cavaliere romano e prefetto di Roma sotto gli imperatori Costantino e Costanzo (350-361), e da Dafrosa, una discendente di una famiglia consolare. Anche in questo caso, le fonti storiche ci spingono a distinguere la realtà dalla leggenda; in effetti, l'unico prefetto di Roma che porti quel nome, Giunio Flaviano, è menzionato nell'anno 311. Il testo tramanda anche il nome di una sorella di Bibiana, una certa Demetria. Una volta salito al trono l'imperatore Giuliano, il quale ripristinò le crudeli persecuzioni contro i cristiani, Flaviano fu costretto ad abbandonare la sua carica di prefetto, passandola nelle mani di un suo acerrimo rivale e acceso sostenitore del paganesimo, Aproniano, che fu effettivamente prefetto di Roma dal 362 al 364, nominato dall'imperatore. Sorpreso mentre seppelliva i martiri Prisco, Priscilliano e Benedetta, il padre della santa venne bollato come uno schiavo e in seguito esiliato ad Aquas Taurinas (forse l'attuale Montefiascone), dove venne martirizzato nel dicembre 361. 🔵 Link in bio 🔴 (presso Tradizioni Barcellona Pozzo di Gotto - Sicilia) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClqoQ2fIqaS/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

MARTEDÌ 25 OTTOBRE 2022 - ♦️ SANTI CRISANTE E DARIA♦️ Crisante (o Crisanzio, o Crisanto) e Daria sono due martiri cristiani del III secolo, originariamente sepolti nella catacomba di Trasone, sulla via Salaria a Roma. Secondo una passio tarda e leggendaria, Crisante era figlio del nobile alessandrino Polemio e fu convertito a Roma dal prete Carpoforo: il padre cercò di farlo tornare al paganesimo inviandogli la bella vestale Daria, ma costei abbracciò la fede di Crisante e decise di vivere con lui in casta unione matrimoniale. I due convertirono numerosi romani (Claudio, Ilaria, Giasone e Mauro), finché subirono il martirio durante l'impero di Numeriano che avvenne per seppellimento da vivi. Infatti il sangue di una vestale non poteva essere sparso per non attirare l'ira degli dei.
