Godwin's Dream
My shortest-ever weird dream happened the night before last. It was simply this: I dreamed I was tea-bagged by Hitler.
Don't ask, because I have no idea.
Link time.
Lunchbag Art: Every day, a dad decorates lunchbags for his kids. I think that rocks (thanks, Ted).
Diary of a Pakistani Schoolgirl: "A Pakistani seventh grade schoolgirl is writing a diary after Taleban militants in the troubled north-western Swat district ordered schools to close as part of an edict banning girls' education. Militants seek to impose their austere interpretation of Sharia law and have destroyed about 150 schools in the last year. News of further attacks and a Taleban invitation to public floggings appears in the latest extracts of the diary, which first appeared on BBC Urdu online."
Insane Feats of Strength: This guy blows me away. I am amazed. It's also compelling evidence that you don't need expensive equipment to get in shape (thanks,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
gha5t).
Andrew Wyeth died (last week, I think). Though he has been derided as a pop artist, I have no shame in admitting I love his artwork, and find it very moving. The German is one of my favourite paintings of his. The model is Karl Kuerner who had been a German soldier in WWI (I think).

Hitler had only one big ball...
Ok. Moving right along...
I've always found Wyeth's "Christina's World" (http://www.seymour.k12.wi.us/rle/art/images/artists/christinas_world.jpg) to be strangely compelling.
Re: Hitler had only one big ball...
....
I'm not sure that I've ever seen a Wyeth piece I didn't find compelling.
