apart from it being slightly scary and more than slightly disturbing, i like beth cavener stichter's work a lot. just imagine one of her pieces sitting in your living room - fabulous.

hey! how was your weekend? mine was relaxed and lazy, and i used it to catch up on some movie-watching. that's how the setlist looked like:
-melancholia, lars von trier
-quills, philip kaufman
-hugo, martin scorsese
-pitch black, david twohy
i think i liked quills the most, eventhough it's a classic hollywood blockbuster. however, it has amazing cast (geoffrey rush, kate winslet, joaquin phoenix, michael caine...) and intelligent dialogue. melancholia is also great, i liked the photography and the symbolic level it's taken to. hugo has a wonderful beginning, but i think it loses focus towards the end, as for the pitch back.. well, it's a science fiction / action movie, and doesn't require a lot of thinking, but it's great for late night relaxation.

the weather has been really nice around here for the past few days, and i have finally found the time to grab a beer with my friends, sit down and relax in the sunshine. eversince, i have had this wonderful feeling of being at a summer music festival, and i really don't know why. i guess there's something in the air, and the hills are alive with the sound of music :)
anyway, i'll probably be heading for tolmin for metalcamp again this year, and maybe to hear metallica in belgrade on the 13th of may. do you have any good concerts coming up?

i've always been fascinated by the renaissance. to me, it represents one of the peaks of art in history, and the works of michelangelo, da vinci, titian, alberti, raphael and the rest are just magnificent. so naturally, i always wanted to see where they lived and how they worked. the cities of florece, lucca, peruggia have an unstoppable charm for me. i've never actually been there (yet!), but i just hearing their names i can clearly imagine young leonardo walking the barely paved street on his way to the workshop, or michelangelo buying an orange in the humid heat of mediterranean noon.

i believe my love for fiction literature has been mentioned before. even as i was a child, i adored stories about distant lands or times, stories about the unknown, unexpected, unimagined. one of the first such books i read myself was ende's neverending story, a story of young bastian's travel to a parallel universe inside of a book. i especially liked the collision of reality and fiction, similar to the one in sophie's world.. a movie adaptation of the neverending story has also been released in 1984, and i liked it just as much as the book.
i also think that the story has a great moral. when all in his life is falling apart, bastian has to save his fantasy world using imagination and a 'dangerous' book he finds in the library, and that, i think, is escapism at its finest.

how are you? i've had quite a week. there hasn't been a lot of time to close my eyes and dream away, so i'm ready to do so now.
sometimes i feel i'm living in the wrong time in history, but i'm sure i'm not the only one. the reality of today seems just too messed up and hectic for me, and i miss the renaissance pursuit of beauty and truth, and people who would want to know a bit about everything, the concept of 'uomo universale', and time to study and enjoy the world at the same time. i can picture myself sitting in an old library, studying, drawing and calculating for days and days, but the world just doesn't work that way anymore. everything is happening so fast. i always try to keep in mind some words of the great da vinci, 'saper vedere', 'to know how to see'. and day by day, i'm trying to see, explore and enjoy, despite the worries and expectations.
