Antonioni


Happy Veterans' Day, y'all! There are 50 days left until we can scratch 2021 off the books.

Today is the day for the faculty of mindfulness, for with it we thoroughly perform many kinds of work.

Princess Irene Luise Marie Anne of Hesse and by Rhine was the third child of Princess Alice of the United Kingdom and Louis IV, Grand Duke of Hesse and by Rhine. Her maternal grandparents were Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. She was the wife of Prince Henry of Prussia, her first cousin and a younger brother of German Emperor Wilhelm II. Princess Irene was hemophiliac, although she lived to be 87 before passing away on this day in 1953.  Impermanence is swift.

On the day that Princess Irene died, both Andy Partridge and Marshall Crenshaw were born.  Partridge is a founding member and principal songwriter and singer for the seminal British band XTC.  Crenshaw is an American singer-songwriter best known for his 1982 hit Someday, Someway - I saw him perform that year at the Atlanta punk club 688. 

Now my days are spent puttering around the house, reading, talking to cats, watching Netflix, and playing video games.  C'est la vie.
