Still Life No Longer
Today I decided to enlist some help, so as to make the challenge a little more exciting: I presented my significant other with a selection of postcards and I asked him to choose one for me. Negotiating his way through various skull-featuring pictures (you'll see!), he finally settled on a reproduction of the painting The Poulterer's Shop …

You know, those things that haunt you when you go to bed…
A place that I can seldom shake off my mind... A road that leads to nowhere... A moon that only shyly peeks out from the clouds... A place of farewells... And tonight's huge and very pagan moon... Another year has gone by. I salute you all.
Unhappy

They give me that "what" …

Why, hello LiveJournal, I haven't seen you in a long time. I guess tumblr is much handier for slackers such as I. Oh, the effortless posting of selected images/videos/music/quotations with little to no comments about them! But thanks to Ram @ people versus people I am now officially back and willing to bore whomsoever might …
Of Old Filmings
I've stumbled upon a nifty little website via La Carmina's blog. It is, actually, an online vid archive storing 20th century films and it's quite fascinating to observe the old news filming styles.

In the Unholy Spirit of Decadence…
I've wanted to say this (or, rather, quote this) for a long time now: I have always really been interested in just one thing: death. Nothing else. I became a human being when, at the age of ten, I saw my grandfather dead, whom at that time I probably loved more than anyone else. It …
“It was my good fortune to be deported to Auschwitz…”
You who live safe In your warm houses, You who find, returning in the evening, Hot food and friendly faces: Consider if this is a man Who works in the mud Who does not know peace Who fights for a scrap of bread Who dies because of a yes or a no. Consider if this …
