A Colossal Thought

Are you a reader? I am.  I read lots of stuff, i think i have mentioned before, from the sublime to the ridiculous, all of them interesting.

i  read for the fun of it, and i come by this love of reading from both sides of the family.  My Mom's family are readers and they have tons of books.  Unfortunately though, the floods in the Sampaloc area during those times have destroyed some of them.  From my Dad's side are all prodigious readers, and all the family have libraries.  Some of those books have been given away.

i must have read over a 1000 books, and i havent included the romance books i read in High School, or numerous Peanuts, and my collection of Calvin and Hobbes.

i try and read all of Neil Gaiman's, and i have a favorite one.

i have books on Socrates, Plato, St. Augustine, and Descartes. I also have books on Lemony Snicket ... and whodunnits galore (Sherlock Holmes, Agatha Christie, Ruth Rendell, The Cat Who series by Lilian Braun..... and more).

i tend to love fantasy and sci-fi so I have Tolkien, Asimov, StarTrek (TOS, of course), Ray Bradbury, Clarke, and one of the books i love is by Madeleine L'Engle. She wrote A Wrinkle in Time, A Wind in the Door, A Swiftly Tilting Planet .... as a cover of one of those books is supposedly a seraphim.  Yes, and the art work -- see the link --- depicted reminds me of that.

you do remember what seraphims are, right?

A Colossal Rec : Iris Scott finger paintings

Colossal recommends this artist finger oil paints.
i particular like the fox because it reminds me of a story i read when i was in grade ....6 or 7 maybe?
It was about a fox and a saint, and this fox looks very much like the illustration in that book
if memory serves, the fox called himself Reynard .... but that was eons ago....

still the colors are as vibrant....

if i remember right,  Neil Gaiman also mentioned the kickstarter campaign, for an artist who wanted to animate his short story "The Price".  i think. if memory serves.  i have had 3 full-on unconscious surgeries, which i am told ... affect memories...  whatever.  you can check Neil's blog.

i wasnt able to contribute then, but the project was a success!

here's a chance to help kickstart a project.  who knows ... maybe one day you will have a project to kickstart..  the Colossal page also brings you to the Kickstart site.  it doesnt have to a big amount, but it does have to be in $$$$$$$

,,,,, i was looking for laughing ... but i guess it fell under the "Get it On", so not just about sex, but perhaps things that release serotonins or endorphins.

but hey, this website is a great place to find some laughter  if you are on the net, wacky things are great for laughter, and laughter is one of best things in this world

Laugh.  Read Waterson's Calvin and Hobbes. Guaranteed a laugh
He recently released his entire collection - 3 books.  wonderful book indeed!

Dark and Light

This photograph is a rare juxtaposition of Dark and Light. 
A quick peek at the photograph which was allowed by the site to be downloaded.
White Swans and Dark Ducks, Pristine Snow and  Dark Waters.
A study in contrasts.  Man is much like this photograph, dark and light, and the many nuances of betwixt -  may the light in a man's soul prevail, always.  Sana.
