Hi guys!
Long time no post... so I got a full time job AND got married in October!
Have a safe winter! Iowa is pretty snowy!
Super shameless proud moment plug.
I graduate today from Iowa State University’s College of Liberal Arts and Science with a BA in History! I cannot be more proud of myself for graduating on time and with honors!
Ok, shameless proud self moment is over.

I don’t particularly like this painting, dear reader.
It’s beautifully rendered: the ominous suggestion of strong waves in the distance, the translucent green waves close to the shore, and the wash of seaweed left just beyond their reach by the higher tide.
The dark clouds at the horizon and the pale blue at the top make the time ambiguous—it could as easily be a stormy midday as a bright sort of evening.
All that is lovely.
But then there’s the face.
Now, I do understand the impulse—Elihu Vedder, who painted this (Memory) in 1870, probably wanted to evoke memory a little more strongly than the beach scene might alone. And, as the LACMA writes, he “would [later] be fascinated by the related classical motif of the head of Medusa.”
But really, dear reader.
The face.
Sorry that I have been so MIA. I graduate university this semester and getting married! So much to do!
