Patron Saint of Printing Presses

St. Brigid of Ireland is the patron saint of printing presses, I am not quite sure why, it really didn't seem to fit into her story at all.

Snowing Again

We had another snow day today, it was snowing when I got up this morning at 8:00 am, and it is still going strong, very low visibility.

City Lights

Well last week was the day of the semester trip to New York, and my first time in NYC. I went off with my friend Amy (MFA ceramics) we ran through the Met, through the Natural History Museum. From there we took the subway to Greenwhich Village to meet up with her Aunt Ginie, we had a very good dinner at a small little restaurant. Then we took a taxi through rush hour traffic to only just barely make the bus back.

While at the Met we saw the Horse Fair by Rosa Bonheur, which was kind of exciting as we had just discussed that painting in history. Evidently Bonheur dressed like a man, and in fact had to have a special liscence to be a transvestite issued to her. Currently there is a theory out that her paintings were more than just horses, and that the unbearded youth in her paintings were in fact her (ie the figure that is almost dead center and is looking out at you)

Let it Snow, let it snow, let it snow

Piranesi
