Over the Garden Wall 10th Anniversary stop motion short by creator Patrick McHale and Aardman Animations

Found a wonderful little news paper clipping in some of my mother’s things. My paternal grandmother’s school house in New Mexico.

Haze all clouded up my mind

With the daze of the why this could have never been

So I say, and you say, you know you’re full of wish

And your “baby, baby, baby, baby’s”

I tell you she’s just pieces of me you’ve never seen

Z2 Comics have released a wonderful 30th Anniversary package for Tori Amos’ solo debut, Little Earthquakes. It included a graphic album, in which each song is represented by a story and comic. Artists and writers like David Mack, Neil Gaiman and Margaret Atwood contribute. It also includes the 2015 remaster of the album and a vinyl picture disk with 11 of the 12 bsides from that era (where is the 12th? They did Here. in my Head wrong), and three beautiful prints.

Ancient Roman mosaic floor discovered under vines in Italy

A perfectly preserved ancient Roman mosaic floor has been discovered near the northern Italian city of Verona.

Archaeologists were astonished by the find as it came almost a century after the remains of a villa, believed to date to the 3rd century AD, were unearthed in a hilly area above the town of Negrar di Valpolicella.

After the discovery in 1922, the site was mostly left abandoned until a team from the Superintendent of Archaeology, Fine Arts and Landscape of Verona resumed digging last summer. The team returned to the site in October and again in February before the excavation was suspended because of the coronavirus pandemic.

The mosaic was found a few metres beneath a row of vines a week after work got going again. Read more.
