A photo for two challenges.
Firstly, (which might help the photo make sense) is 'Musically Challenged', Master of Puppets, by Metallica:
'Master of Puppets, I'm pulling your strings,
Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams
Blinded by me, you can't see a thing'
Second challenge: secrets. So my next secret is I can't stand the way having ME has started to control so many parts of my life, I normally put a brave face on it so people think things are better than they seem on the surface. I had a very useful appointment at a ME clinic yesterday, and hope to start some rehabilitation work soon that will really help. At the moment though there are days when I feel my ME is my master, and I am a puppet, merely going through the motions and unable to enjoy things that normally make me smile. I am also coming of the medication I started last month that has disturbed my sleep and dreams so badly. Seems ME has decided hypersensitivity to medication is another thing I have to deal with!
Two weeks in NOLA for the mardi gras 2017
Founded in 1993, the Krewe of Orpheus takes its name from the musically-inclined son of Zeus and Calliope. Founding members included Harry Connick, both the junior and senior.
In New Orleans, the krewe established themselves as a superkrewe with their first parade in 1994, which rolled with 700 riders. They were the first super Krewe to allow both male and female riders.
The Krewe's throws include a number of popular items including emblem beads, stuffed animals, signature beads, light-up Orpheus medallion beads, cups, three different types of doubloons, and 4-foot-long stuffed dragons.
They have a number of notable floats including the Dolly Trolley, the horse-drawn bus that was used in the opening of Hello Dolly with Barbra Streisand, the Smoking Mary which is a six unit float that looks like a steam locomotive, a Trojan horse and the Orpheus Leviathan Float, which is a three unit, 139-foot float, and the first Carnival float to use extensive fiber optic lighting.
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Fats Domino wass the honorary grand marshall for 2014. His eldest son, Antoine Domino III, rode in the parade and perform his 85 year old father's music.
In addition to Fats Domino, Quentin Tarantino reigned as the krewe's celebrity monarch.
Ben Folds Five - #18/52 for Musically Inspired set
Millionaires and millrats live side by side here.
Messed up my brother's mind. He's far from earth.
Tell me what's he worth... - Nothing!- ...
The same as you, the same as me, in this factory.
... by the way, this is supposedly the 2nd largest clock in the world (face diameter is 40ft). The clock was built way back in 1906 when it originally sat on Colgate’s New Jersey facility, before being moved here in 1924...the biggest one is another Colgate clock in NJ I believe (50ft dia)
The album, Votive Offerings by Hordie, seeks to stimulate lyrically and entertain musically, covering a range from punk posing to love ballads, stopping off for some folk along the way. The album is delivered in two parts. Side one, The Growth God, turns a mirror on today's, deluded, stratified society whilst side two takes a peek at love!
The introduction track, "Working Hard", begins with a bang and a nice sonic atmosphere, with some vocal harmonization that almost made it feel vintage for me.
With the second song, "The Growth God", we hear what sounded like (at least to me) someone urinating into something. It caught me off guard and then that's when the song itself starts. It's got a clear vision. Some very nice instrumentation, that has a folksy flavor to it, while feeling alternative at its foundation. Some strings are added within the production and become a solid addition.
"Fly Me To The Moon" - It's when I hit this third track that I really started to dig Hordie's sound. It reminded me of elements of classic rock from the '60s/'70s, while the addition of the piano made me think of something like Americana. The vocal work, as well, allows me to feel as though the song has lived decades ago. The hook is simple and perfect. Great musicianship with the guitars, the solo rocked. The rhythm and soundscape of this track was hypnotic, it struck a nerve. I loved it.
"This Afluenza" features some sweet bass chords in the beginning, the riffs all throughout work extremely well. It feels moody and almost atmospheric. And then the production becomes much more layered, really starting to sound like an acid trip almost - and that's a compliment. The lyrics and song-writing begin to stick out more, and their expressive nature becomes apparent.
And then Hordie had to hit us with "Special Lady". I instantly smiled, and knew I was going to love this whole project. Such great instrumentation, alternative elements, the whole piece sounds nothing like the songs that came before it. It's just bursting with creativity, and because of the tracks that came before it, it makes this song that much more special. Now the concept aspect of the album is slowly beginning to sink in.
"Jump" transitions to something that feels vaguely familiar to the first few tracks, but again it still works. The album continues to work, with its theme and concept, and the final track here delivers. This was definitely a nice surprise.

Roxy Music are an English art rock group formed in 1971 by Bryan Ferry, who became the group's lead vocalist and chief songwriter. The other members are Phil Manzanera (guitar), Andy Mackay (saxophone and oboe) and Paul Thompson (drums and percussion). Former members include Brian Eno (synthesizer and "treatments"), and Eddie Jobson (synthesizer and violin). Although the band took a break from group activities in 1983, they reunited for a concert tour in 2001, and have toured together intermittently since that time.
Roxy Music attained popular and critical success in the UK, Europe and Australia during the 1970s and early 1980s, beginning with their debut album, Roxy Music (1972).[1] The band was highly influential, as leading proponents of the more experimental, musically sophisticated element of glam, as well as a significant influence on early English punk music. They also provided a model for many New Wave acts and the experimental electronic groups of the early 1980s. The group is distinguished by their visual and musical sophistication and their preoccupation with style and glamour.[2] Ferry and co-founding member Eno have also had influential solo careers, the latter becoming one of the most significant record producers and collaborators of the late 20th century.
Rolling Stone magazine ranked Roxy Music #98 on its "The Immortals – 100 The Greatest Artists of All Time" list.[3]
A new studio album, which would have been their ninth, began recording in 2005. It would have been Roxy's first record with Brian Eno since 1973, who wrote two songs for it as well as played keyboards.[4] However, Bryan Ferry eventually confirmed that material from these sessions would be released as a Ferry solo album, with Eno playing on "a couple of tracks,"[5] and that he doesn't think they'll record as Roxy Music again.[6] Subsequently, this was confirmed by the announcement of a solo Bryan Ferry album, entitled Olympia.
METAMATIC Reloaded, exhibition view, November 9, 2013.
Singing Room for a Shy Person gives visitors the opportunity to express themselves musically without being inhibited by shyness. In the process, the singing is transposed to a new musical plane by Bhatnagar’s instruments. The outcome of the interaction with the artwork thus becomes just as dependent on the artwork’s parameters as on the singing person’s performance.
The exhibition METAMATIC Reloaded is the result of an international call for entries issued by the Dutch Métamatic Research Initiative (MRI) in 2009. Artists were called on to tackle, from today’s perspective, the topic and concept of Jean Tinguely’s drawing machines, called Méta-Matics which are among his most important groups of work and inventions. The outcome of the pro-cesses, a total of ten projects by internationally renowned and also young, up-and-coming artists, will be all together on show for the first time in Basel from October 23, 2013, with works by: Marina Abramović, Ranjit Bhatnagar, John Bock, Olaf Breuning, Thomas Hirschhorn, Aleksandra Hirszfeld, Jon Kessler, Pors & Rao, João Simões and Brigitte Zieger.

Muse - Dig Down
Muse are an English rock band from Teignmouth, Devon, formed in 1994. The band consists of Matt Bellamy (lead vocals, guitar, piano, keyboards), Chris Wolstenholme (bass guitar, backing vocals, keyboards) and Dominic Howard (drums, percussion).
Muse released their debut album, Showbiz, in 1999, showcasing Bellamy's falsetto and a melancholic alternative rock style. Their second album, Origin of Symmetry (2001), expanded their sound, incorporating wider instrumentation and romantic classical influences, and earned them a reputation for energetic live performances. Absolution (2003) saw further classical influence, with orchestra on tracks such as "Butterflies and Hurricanes", and became the first of five consecutive UK number-one albums. The album has a noticeably darker and heavier tone musically, with a lyrical focus on the theological and apocalyptic concepts.

If you're a teacher - musically talented or not - check out this brilliant organisation www.singup.org/
We only came across them after they ordered some bespoke cupcakes from us. They do some amazing work with kids and through music are helping to build communities.
Here's a snap of what we made for them today - vegan and gluten free chocolate cupcakes topped with customised edible logo's! :-)
Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do
Wow!!!
The day started musically, with refreshing water sound play, as the basics of Music.
Shape Hopscotch: an educative way to improve on their fine motor skills, gave a wonderful learning experience.
Wall number game for numeracy was also exciting.
To enhance their literacy skills, they sorted out phonics by sending phonic mails.
Archeologist!! Archeology!!
Yes… at White Fields Nursery, archeologists were busy digging up old remains of dinosaurs and insects.
Kids enjoyed Water play, during which they had to search for the sea animals in their own little sea.
They enjoyed the ring game and painting activities, and also had a great time learning about number 4 and counting with pom poms.
During outdoor game, kids played a "hit the target" game.
The day ended with a balloon tennis game.
A day to explore and to enjoy…

Confusion raining down from up high
And all the time you ask yourself 'why?'
Why can't you make decisions
Can't make up your mind
Although you're trying hard to forget
The reason why you feel so misled
Now come on and forgive me
I'll help you accept
From day one I led you on
I'm sorry girl, but I can't stay
Things have changed, they're not the same
Now I must walk the other way
Confusion by The Zutons
So I realized that I missed a day somewhere in my 365, OMG OMG OMG i have only 12 more days left. eeeeekkkk
Special thanks to Grace for the amazing photo. Another awesome collaboration.
Today Perry asked me in response to me talking about moving back to California next year: what if I were to fall in love and get engaged before I was planning on moving. he was trying to get me to understand that I shouldnt make plans too far ahead or I will become disappointed if it doesnt happen.
but back to the question at hand. I highly doubt I will be "in love" and "engaged" in one year. I mean it COULD happen. but the guy would have to be SUPER AMAZING, and even at that - I dont want to be in Florida, I'm homesick, I miss my friends and family back home. I am tired of compromising how I plan on living my life for anyone else. I will be doing what makes me happy or makes me feel good about everything.
I'm half tempted to just up and move this Fall. I'll be looking up classes now that the urge to move back is getting stronger and stronger by the day. There isnt much for me to stay here and I'm getting really restless.
my whole love life situation throws me off balance and its really frustrating.
I'm about done with everything. Stop messing with my head. I was trying to give a girl relationship advice the other night since she said the guy she was seeing was playing mind games with her. After all I said to her to try and help her out with her situation and show her that maybe he's not the right guy for her, and that I think it would be best if she just cut her losses now and move on, she replied: no, I'm going to string him along and mess with his head since thats what he's doing to me.
my response: (name withheld) how old are you?!?! Karma is a bitch and playing games just adds to distrust.
i was so mad, she only wanted to talk to me so that I may be able to validate her thinking.
games, really now? one thing I did get from my last relationship, was that if I wanted a mature relationship with someone else, I needed to start being a mature adult about it.
and you know what a good relationship is built off of? It's not love, its trust.
dont ever take my trust for granted. Once you lose it. It's nearly impossible to get it back, there's no point in a relationship after my trust is broken.

When you was just a youngin' your looks were so precious
But now your grown up
So fly it's like a blessing
But you can't have a man look at you for five seconds
Without you being insecure
You never credit yourself, so when you got older
It's seems like you came back ten times over
Now you're sitting here in this damn corner
Looking through all your thoughts and looking over your shoulders
~ How To Love, Lil Wayne ft. Enrique Iglesias

I am so not a Lil Wayne die-hard fan. In fact I had no clue he went by another name, until recently.
But damn you, Lil Wayne, for having a song I actually found myself liking after hearing it like a million times on radioplay. But I'm a big sucker for a hip-hop/R&B/bumpin&grindin/slow tempo love song. A sucker for it, I tell you!!
HLKLAT!

Founded in 1993, the Krewe of Orpheus takes its name from the musically-inclined son of Zeus and Calliope. Founding members included Harry Connick, both the junior and senior.
In New Orleans, the krewe established themselves as a superkrewe with their first parade in 1994, which rolled with 700 riders. They were the first super Krewe to allow both male and female riders.
The Krewe's throws include a number of popular items including emblem beads, stuffed animals, signature beads, light-up Orpheus medallion beads, cups, three different types of doubloons, and 4-foot-long stuffed dragons.
They have a number of notable floats including the Dolly Trolley, the horse-drawn bus that was used in the opening of Hello Dolly with Barbra Streisand, the Smoking Mary which is a six unit float that looks like a steam locomotive, a Trojan horse and the Orpheus Leviathan Float, which is a three unit, 139-foot float, and the first Carnival float to use extensive fiber optic lighting.
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Fats Domino wass the honorary grand marshall for 2014. His eldest son, Antoine Domino III, rode in the parade and perform his 85 year old father's music.
In addition to Fats Domino, Quentin Tarantino reigned as the krewe's celebrity monarch.
From the warm side of the window the views always look the same.
Oh I didn't think up that little line. I pinched it from a song. Which is were all the best lines come from, that and maybe the dictionary. It might not have them all in the right order but it's like the pick and mix section in the shop, you grab the bits you like till you have bag full of tastiness to pop in your mouth. The only difference being that the line are coming from the other direction. And they're not sweeties. Well they could be, it depends on what you're planning on saying. It could be those sweet sweet words that melt a hear like...um...."Gimme some sugar, baby". It's subtle but who could resist such poetry.
Well you might. And probably you. You, you and you could probably think of something better and you might actually hand over a bag of sugar and giggle away afterwards. Well the classics do fade after a while but I'd never refuse a bag of sugar, a spoonful of sugar helps my tea to go down.
A few days ago the warm side of the window would have been the outside but today the inside has reclaimed it's place as the toasty of the two. And now I can go out without having to lurk in the shadows to protect my vampiric paleness. For today I am King....Hail to the King, baby ;o)

Kiss me through the phone~Soulja Boy (I didn't know that till 2 minutes ago)
This song was stuck in my head in Myrtle Beach and now here in Ft. Myers so I thought I'd do a quick snap of it. I need to get caught up anyway right...lol
I normally copy and paste lyrics but I'm not going to here. I'm just going to include the part that stays stuck in my head.
Baby, you know that I miss you, I want to get with you tonight
But I cannot now baby girl and that's the issue
Girl you know I miss you, I just want to kiss you
But I can't right now so baby kiss me through the phone, I'll see you later on
Kiss me through the phone, I'll see you when I get home...:)

The Farewell (1878)
Artist: Harriet Backer
Throughout Harriet Backer's 50-year career, women's rights changed radically. Being a woman and an artist became accepted. Backer was talented and determined, inspiring a new generation of women and men in the Norwegian art world.
In Backer’s family, art and culture were part of how the children were raised. Her older sister Agathe was musically gifted and wanted to become a pianist. She had to go abroad to learn, and Harriet became her sister's traveling companion. This gave Harriet the opportunity to visit art museums and get to know the historical masters of the art world at a young age. Agathe eventually became a renowned composer and concert pianist, while Harriet became an important artist.
Backer showed an early talent and interest in art, but embarked on full-time studies rather late in life. In 1874, at 29 years, she decided to travel to Munich. The art community in Norway was small, so one had to go abroad.
The art academies in Europe were reserved for men in those days, but women could receive private tuition or attend "women's classes". During her years in Munich, Backer had several teachers. In 1878 she moved to Paris to continue her studies.
Being accepted for exhibition at the Salon in Paris was an important step on the path to becoming a professional artist. In 1880, Backer was accepted with the painting Solitude. Hundreds of artists exhibited at these exhibitions at the same time, and the paintings hung close together, from floor to ceiling. The jury thought Backer's painting was excellent, and she was honoured with a diploma, known as a Mention honorable.
In Munich, Backer learned to paint in a style characterised by a high level of detail and dark colours. We see this for example in Avskjeden (The Farewell), from 1878. When she came to Paris, she was greatly inspired by impressionism. In one of her best-known paintings, Blått interiør (Blue Interior), painted five years after Avskjeden, the transformation of her painting style is evident. Clear and pure colours dominate the composition. From this point on, the interaction between figure, interior and light effects became a theme that permeated Backer's paintings. How to create contrasts between the light indoors and outdoors? How are colours perceived in lamplight compared to daylight? She approached her subjects with these issues in mind.
Backer started her career with a desire to become a portrait painter. She painted many friends and acquaintances, and also received portrait commissions. But it is her interior scenes she has become best known for. She painted interiors from all walks of life – from farmhouses to bourgeois living rooms. For the most part, Backer's rooms are populated by women.
I think I serve the cause of women best by concentrating like a man – Harriet Backer
In 1888, Backer established herself in Norway, and from 1892 to 1910 ran a painting school in Kristiania. She became a popular teacher. Her openness to new ideas in both art and social development was appreciated. She sympathised with the women's movement, but did not actively participate in political work.
In the women's cause, Backer was recognised more for what she did than what she said – as a renowned artist she was an important role model. Together with friend and fellow artist Kitty Kielland, she was a pioneer who paved the way for women to have the opportunity to choose art as a career path.

On 11 June 2022 the new National Museum opened in Oslo. This is the largest museum in the Nordics. The new museum now consists of the collections of the former National Gallery, the Museum of Contemporary Art, and the Norwegian Museum of Decorative Arts and Design.
The new museum has a permanent exhibition of about 6 500 objects. Design, arts and crafts, fine art as well as contemporary art will be exhibited alongside each other. As such, the permanent exhibition highlights interesting connections between different collections that previously have been on show at three different museums. Additionally, audiences will be able to see the most famous paintings by the Norwegian painter Edvard Munch, including The Scream (1893) and Madonna (1894).
The building was designed by Kleihues + Schuwerk Gesellschaft von Architekten, with emphasis on dignity and longevity over sensationalist architecture. Great care was given to achieve a balance with the museum’s surroundings and the existing monuments in the area, such as Oslo City Hall and Akershus Fortress.
The most eye-catching feature of the new museum is the large, illuminated exhibition hall on top of the building. It will be used for temporary exhibitions.
The rooftop terrace offers a unique view of the inner Oslo fjord. The square in front of the main entrance has become an urban meeting place, with benches and a café that invites you in to take a rest.

Roxy Music are an English art rock group formed in 1971 by Bryan Ferry, who became the group's lead vocalist and chief songwriter. The other members are Phil Manzanera (guitar), Andy Mackay (saxophone and oboe) and Paul Thompson (drums and percussion). Former members include Brian Eno (synthesizer and "treatments"), and Eddie Jobson (synthesizer and violin). Although the band took a break from group activities in 1983, they reunited for a concert tour in 2001, and have toured together intermittently since that time.
Roxy Music attained popular and critical success in the UK, Europe and Australia during the 1970s and early 1980s, beginning with their debut album, Roxy Music (1972).[1] The band was highly influential, as leading proponents of the more experimental, musically sophisticated element of glam, as well as a significant influence on early English punk music. They also provided a model for many New Wave acts and the experimental electronic groups of the early 1980s. The group is distinguished by their visual and musical sophistication and their preoccupation with style and glamour.[2] Ferry and co-founding member Eno have also had influential solo careers, the latter becoming one of the most significant record producers and collaborators of the late 20th century.
Rolling Stone magazine ranked Roxy Music #98 on its "The Immortals – 100 The Greatest Artists of All Time" list.[3]
A new studio album, which would have been their ninth, began recording in 2005. It would have been Roxy's first record with Brian Eno since 1973, who wrote two songs for it as well as played keyboards.[4] However, Bryan Ferry eventually confirmed that material from these sessions would be released as a Ferry solo album, with Eno playing on "a couple of tracks,"[5] and that he doesn't think they'll record as Roxy Music again.[6] Subsequently, this was confirmed by the announcement of a solo Bryan Ferry album, entitled Olympia.
