Which Describes How You're Feeling All The Time
I felt like a gargoyle all weekend, gazing wistfully at the world through eyes of stone. Out of sync, out of step, out of bounds, out of it, I dunno. I feel fine now, and once again publicly talking to myself on a blog. On Saturday I read a book about the life of the amazing German artist Albrecht Dürer (1471-1528). It always gets me that all of these top-notch artistic geniuses were hanging around at the same time -- Leonardo Da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael, even Hieronymus Bosch and Titian. It was as though the cosmos spewed all of that incredible artistry right around 1500. The bottom line for me though: if anyone knows how to talk to a gargoyle, it's Dürer.
