Brains like nesting dolls plotting their escape

[sovay]

Actually it appears that the major event of my week was catching a cold. I feel awful and may accomplish nothing further of intellectual import before the end of the month, which is terrible for Patreon. I will have to review extra in February. It makes me feel like a failure right from the start of the year. But also my throat hurts and I can't think.

Nonetheless, because I had the usual hour to kill between appointments this afternoon, I took several more pictures of Broad Canal and the Charles River and the ex-drawbridges on First Street and Edwin H. Land Boulevard which turn out to be a matched set only after the fact—the first was built in 1925, the second in 1956. I got a lot of rust and reflections and ice and contrails and cranes, plus one skyline through a window that came out looking as flat as a sci-fi matte painting. My current three favorites are underneath the cut.



Increasingly I don't think it's possible to photograph the Kendall Cogeneration Station without committing Precisionism.



I know it's full of trash, but the water looks like a secret.



I felt that all that was lacking was a flying car.

Oshit, feel better, and let us all know if we can, Idunno, come by bearing soup or something.

Thank you. I will. It's just rotten timing! I wanted to do a lot with this week and instead I have done increasingly less.

At first glance, my thought was "Holy Cow, it's Timothée Chalamet!"

I see how you got there!

He should do a photoshoot of that painting.

I think you're right! And yes, it does have the sharp, matte, futuristic look of an SF cover, that first shot.

--And maledictions on your cold: may it have not even half the tenaciousness of certain self-interested US senators.
