the desire to do more than read the news, weep, and cross my fingers is overwhelming. but what? what can I do?
Thought of doing a tornado/storm-ish photo but I was so uninspired that it just didn't work....
When I shot this I was actually doing something else but that also didn't work, the focus on the camera just wouldn't get my face sharp, the selftimer (I lost my remote!) didn't work halve the time etc etc, so I just started randomly putting things on my face and this really portrait (hihi) how I was feeling..
Tomorrow I'm going out to take photos of our tulip gardens all around our town so I hope my dark mood will get better and my photos will get lighter aswell! ;)

A replica of the memorial to the Arniston ship disaster on the promenade of the eponymous small town near the southern tip of Africa. Arniston, also known as Waenhuiskrans, is a little resort town with a permanent population of 1,267, in what is really quite a remote location.
Here are the details of the disaster and memorial. In May 1815, a British East Indiaman, Arniston, was rounding the Cape in convoy on a journey to repatriate wounded British soldiers from Ceylon. The ship lacked a chronometer — an expensive instrument at the time — and consequently had to rely on other ships in the fleet to calculate the longitude of the group. After being separated from the convoy in heavy seas, the captain of Arniston was obliged to rely solely on dead reckoning to navigate. Thinking incorrectly that he was west of the Cape of Good Hope because of lack of headway, led to an incorrect assumption that Cape Agulhas was Cape Point. Consequently, Arniston was wrecked when her captain headed north for St Helena, operating on the incorrect belief the ship had already passed Cape Point, the master steered north for St Helena and ran the ship onto the rocks at Waenhuiskrans. Only six of the 378 people on board survived the wrecking.
The survivors spent several days on the beach before being discovered by a farmer’s son. A memorial, a replica of which can be seen today, was erected on the beach by the wife of Colonel Andrew Geils (here spelled “Giels”), whose four unaccompanied children were lost in the tragedy. The memorial bears the following inscription:
“Erected by their disconsolate parents to the memory of Thomas, aged 13 years, William Noble, aged 10, Andrew, aged 8 and Alexander McGregor Murray, aged 7 (the four eldest sons of Lieut Colonel Andrew Giels of H.M. 73rd Regiment) who, with Lord and Lady Molesworth unfortunately perished in the Arniston Transport, wrecked on this shore on 3rd May, 1815.”

Your hands to my hips cause aches,
Your tongue to my lips, ruin,
Your skin against mine, death.
The problem is, even in your absence
I am at war with myself, with you, with life.
I am a fucked up beautiful thing that will destroy you
Even if I don’t want too, even if I try desperately not too.
I, I am a disaster always happening.

The Disaster Artist is a new movie based on the book of the same name. It recounts the making of Tommy Wiseau's cinematic disasterpiece The Room. If you've never witnessed The Room, I highly recommend it. It's epically terrible!
There was a disaster at my Lego City Police Station today. I used the police station for a different photo and as I was returning it to the shelf I shifted my weight slightly and the police station broke in half and fell. It only fell a couple of feet to the table but it was a big emergency for the police officers that were inside.
Medical personnel were brought in and the injured officers were taken to Lego City Hospital, conveniently located on a nearby shelf :-) I repaired the police station ASAP and it's now fully functional again.
Fortunately no one appears to be seriously injured but I think they are still annoyed at me.
