PHOTO POST!

I am home and unpacking, albeit slowly; I have to play with all the toys I got for Christmas as I unpack them. I am wearing fuzzy yellow slippers, drinking herbal chai, and I've been working my way through the first few days of my Kirigami calendar -- it's like really advanced paper snowflakes. There will be photos.

In the meantime, however, a few images from the Blanton:

You know what's missing from modern currency? Porn.

I did a sketch of this, because it captivated me -- it was a print, I think 17th or 18th century -- of "Actors in the Italian Theatre". Looking closely I noticed one of them was masked, a veccio mask that's probably Capitano though it might be Dottore. I love this style of mask, because it's just nose and brow, and leaves most of the face free to express emotion. I'll have to scan the sketch next time I have the energy.

This is the Embodiment of Astronomy. I like her neat globe thing and the chef's hat she's wearing. :D

This is the Cildo Meireles installation I was talking about, How To Build Cathedrals. That's six hundred thousand pennies on the floor, eight hundred communion wafers in a vertical column, and two thousand lit cattle bones on the ceiling. You can walk inside the black gauze, which is where I got these photos of the installation and especially the ceiling. It's just marvelous.

The best surprise when I got home, however, was that my guests, who stayed here a few days after I went to Texas, cleaned the flat and left me a Treasure Hunt. :D A post-it note on the fridge informed me that there were nine treasures hidden all over the flat, and I should find them before I have R over.

Now, my Guests know me IRL but also read my journal, so they're aware of the porn. Oh are they aware of the porn. And that is what they left me....a flat covered in porn.

I'm pretty sure the illustrations are all related. Jack/Doctor? Oh yes, Jack/Doctor.



This, though it's not readable in the photo (alas) is Harry Potter bathtub porn. It was stuck to my bathtub wall. :D


This was stuck to the Keep Calm poster the Cafe helped me make. There's porn on the back. Naked coffee porn.


This? This was rolled up and stuck in the end of the Penis Neti Pot. :D The original is easier to read, but it involves Ianto being concerned about where exactly "that" is going...


But I think this is my favourite. Yes...that's ROOMBA/TRASHCAN PORN.


And then they said, "You have to blog this!" and I said OH YES, and here we are.

I'm going back to sleep now. :D

Porn is always welcome. :D

But it's such a PERSONAL gift - it requires knowledge of what they find hot. Suffice to say some of my friends, despite years of badgering and staring at me as I snickered in the computer labs next to them, don't even understand the appeal of Pratchett. I'm fairly sure, even after all these years, if I said "Harkness and the Doctor nekkid in the Tardis!" they'd respond with "Cloth eating aliens?" as opposed to "toys optional?".

(on the other hand at least they would know who I was talking about so really, how can I complain?)
