I have a bachelor's degree from the University of Maryland for the same degree of achievement.
One of my greatest skills is reading an entire page of an academic text without absorbing a single word.
It’s a gift.

"Only Lovers Left Alive" (2014) remains fascinating as an utterly unique art-work complete in itself, needing no context. mesmerizing Jim Jarmusch fantasy perfectly rendered by [vampire-couple] Adam & Eve/ Tom Hiddleston and Tilda Swinton, especially intriguing if you once lived in Detroit.

Zoos, prisons… same vibe when you’re a kid forced into both. The bars and behavioral issues overlap.

On a distant unnamed planet on this date in 1914, Le Sony'r Ra, otherwise known as Sun Ra, was born and set upon a mythical and surreal musical journey. Any quote that I would conjure here cannot advance his truth, so here's some real: "If you're not mad at the world, you don't have what it takes."

Rhinoceros. Visited Lisbon in 1515, died en route to Italy, Dürer never saw it, but his fabulous woodcut made it famous for centuries. Pretty good going!

Artist of the day: the marvelous Carlo Crivelli. Who does not love him & his zany use of fruits & veggies, as in this A+ Madonna of 1473? Lots of visual intensity here.
