Random Thoughts
Yesterday in the mail I received a book I'd ordered, Pre-Raphaelites in Love by Gay Daly. It's a biography of several of the leading figures of the Pre-Raphaelite movement, which focuses on their relationships with their models (some of whom they married). I am excited that the book arrived in time for me to start reading it now, before we leave for London and all the wonderful Victorian art to be viewed there.
When I ordered this book from QPB, I didn't realize it was out of print, or that it was originally published in 1989. Looking for something to link to for this entry, I found that it's not really widely available. Interesting that QPB is bringing something like this back into print for its catalog. I wonder if they do this a lot? And whether it's because of an increased interest in the Pre-Raphaelites, or for some other reason?
My mind is full of random thoughts today. I can't seem to help it.
Maria has updated Kiss the Rain today with a very thoughtful entry. I know what she means about having to think about what you write on your page, especially when the people closest to you read it. I find especially when I am feeling bad about things, it can be difficult for me to know what to say here. And that's why sometimes I just go away and neglect the weblog and journal for awhile.
I am very glad that all the people who know me and visit Raspberry World do so, but I do find that my awareness of who may be reading means I'm less likely to let loose on my page here when I'm feeling vile. Now maybe that's a good thing, because in the end I might not like it if RW became nothing more than a chronicle of problems and difficulties. But on the other hand, if I'm feeling vile and not expressing it here, I'm probably dumping it somewhere else. (And let me say thank you to the ones who listen to me rant when I get like that -- you all know who you are.)
I don't know what the right answer is for me. I don't really want to worry people or run the risk of someone taking something I said the wrong way, but I suppose in the end it is my page and I am going to write about what I want to write about.
I like what I am wearing today. I have on my berry-colored Dr. Marten mary janes, which match this corduroy jacket thing. I think both items came from a Value City trip with Katynka a couple of years ago. And these blue pants I got recently on clearance at Filene's, like chinos but so much softer. And a turtleneck with the same colors in it, berry with little blue and burgundy flowers on it. Plus my valentine's day earrings and a silver necklace that I love.
My hair is doing strange things, but I can live with it.
And now lunch is over, and it's time to get back to work.
