Romanticism, Realism, Modernism, Post-Modernism… where on Earth are we? We are on Earth, and it is a very strange place. Read about movement and momentum building among the arts.

Concept: The Visual Arts: A History, by Hugh Honour and John Fleming.
As part of my development of Urbantasm, I’ve been attempting a complete-as-possible review of the history of the West… generally speaking I’m up through the end of the Roman Republic, but since New York has such an unparalleled array of Art museums, I’ve actually gone ahead in the history of visual art, and I’m almost done with The Visual Arts: A History, by Hugh Honour and John Fleming.

Concept: Correction re: Schizophrenia.
So earlier I lumped Adolph Meyer in with the psychoanalysts. Certainly their stance on laboratory science had a similar impact on the development of psychiatry.

Concept: The Voluntary Maniac Says, "I’m Having An UberEgo Moment"
Just think. In a couple years when I’m mind-defyingly successful and famous, you’ll all be able to say you knew me back in the DIY days. I don’t think I really need to sleep anymore. It wastes hours every day.

A servant now appeared with Annette, and conducted Emily to her chamber, which was in a remote part of the castle, and at the very end of the corridor, from whence the suite of apartments opened, through which they had been wandering.
