shall I open my eyes
and tune the instruments?
create the occasion
where we ought to be?
In the place just right
central to our delight.

These images for the live(ish) web broadcast of the Alexander McQueen show are kind of beautiful, in their own jewel-like pixelated way, and I love the thoughtful blog post by Swellelife about the frustration of trying to watch the futuristic webcast excitement.

there are times when the only form of support you seek is of blood nature.
family ties (even though slightly severed due to lack of daily contact) are the only source of viable comfort, especially in times of sickness. it would be presumptuous to claim sickness when one’s only ailments are generalized exhaustion, a pounding [...]
i have never meant more than nothing to you, and that is all-encompassing. throwing wish coins into the well of our inexistence, we revel in our ignorance of one another.
