Analog Burn

Go to Analog Burn.

Tuesday, I visited my paintings (that's what I look like), then drove 3 minutes down the road to La Mexicana for some tacos al pastor, Sue was here on Saturday night, the goldenrod and ironweed are still looking good, and I've been painting yellows, blues, indigos, and violets (incidentally) and colors in between, not necessarily in that order.

The photo of the painting is not accurately representing the violet that is visible in real life. The photo is much bluer and muddier, I gave up trying to produce an accurate photograph.

The camera has temperature settings, the software has hue saturation, and what not, and I'm like, "Sorry. I just can't."

Instead, I searched the origins of the words "purple," ancient Greek, "purpura," and "violet," Latin.

The word "violet" comes from the flower of the same name, viola. The word "viola" also comes from the word, "viitula" — a stringed instrument, unrelated to the flower — also linked to the Roman goddess of joy, Vitula, or the verb vitulari, meaning "to rejoice" or "exult."

It's another rabbit hole, I use the word "violet" to describe the color.

Today, during a TeleHealth chat, the practitioner asked what I did for anxiety. I answered, "... drink alcohol, smoke weed, smoke cigarettes, have friends over, music, eat Mexican food, sleep," and so on.

He replied, "Okay."

So, it's all good, a clean bill of health, "Okay!" 😎

Needle spiking at festivals: What to know before partying abroad

As American travelers head abroad for summer festivals and nightlife, officials are urging caution following a spike in reports of needle spiking.

USA TODAY

Hungary, 1970. Saturday night is partying night. This seems a typical party for those of a certain age in Hungary. Lots of alcohol, probably pálinka (fruit brandy), and if you were lucky, a live Roma violinist. They would sing the old songs known as "magyar nóta", a variety of sugary, sentimental songs about romance and the old days, all infused with a very Hungarian sense of melancholy and emotion. Similar perhaps to Fado music in Portugal, or Chanson in France, especially in the sense of music being tied to national identity.

I'm not as far behind on this monstrosity than I was two days ago. But I am still behind, with another 588 squares to go, plus or minus ten.

I have little idea what this painting will look like. That's part of the plan.

Theoretically, I can finish it in ten days, but that would be tough — the greens are fast but I always want to party.

Yes, I am counting — 588, plus or minus ten.

Oh internet mens. Why? Get a random ping from a rather hot guy. I try not to get too excited. You know how these things go. And there it is. One of his opening shots is him taking a hit off a crack pipe. Sigh. Sorry, internet d00d. No #PNP here. Says so in my profile, if you’d looked.
