And we're only six months deep, my dear, so just try to hold on

I like roller coasters as amusement park rides, not as metaphors. This weekend was jagged as an EKG. Today started really well and then hit a land mine in the afternoon and I have not been fine since. I would like a couple of days when no external factors claw as deeply at the inside of my head as the last couple of days have been doing.

I don't believe Katerina Iacovides and Siki Red Fins' "Ocean Decay" was intended as fanart for Patricia A. McKillip's Something Rich and Strange (1994), but it works by me:



She thought of Adam, lying in the surf, watching her pull garbage out of her pockets, the look on his face as if he were the one dying . . .

I'm sorry the day took such an awful turn. ;_;

Thank you. I'm just tired of it. I don't think I'm more fragile than usual.

That's a lovely turtle.

*hugs* You've been dealing with a lot. It's no wonder that it's wearing at you. :(

Aw, I'm so sorry. That art is gorgeous tho, thank you for showing it.

Thank you. If I can't be around the sea in person, I can look at its representations and that helps. A cat on my lap is also good.

I hope you get them - many of them! <3

And that is an intriguing piece of art.

Thank you! We'd planned to visit a museum today, but since the sky appears to be pouring very wet, very heavy snow, somehow I think that might not happen.

And that is an intriguing piece of art.

The same pair of artists seem to have done other work together, but I like this one (and the mermaid at low tide by the Thames) best.

Oh, I like that Mermaid at low tide one, too, yes.

My favorite mermaid photoshoot is now longer available on its photographer's website, I assume because it was a few years ago and she's keeping her portfolio current, but it's Hana Vojáčková's Milk & Sea.

Oh, those are rather cool!
