Most people make New Year’s Resolutions but I make New Year’s Projects… maybe it’s close to the same thing but instead of just personal goals I include a lot of projects too. Of course there’s a plan- wouldn’t be me if there wasn’t an associated plan, but I will save that for another day. I have 38 goals, dreams to complete, and projects on my list, and I have already crossed one project off when I installed flooring in the attic. It’s gonna be a great year!

it's not exactly big comparing to some collections. But, I must say that, since I arrived Canadá, it has increased so much!

This one I've held on to until the individual being parodied was out of office. NOW, we can make fun of him. Not that I ever held off making fun of him but political humor has lots of nuances. While I never have respected the person, I did respect the office held and bided my time until I felt... okay with posting something like this.
It may not to be everyone's tastes but I found it bloody brilliant in how little a pre-made mask had to be altered to be a quite frighteningly accurate and believable mash-up.

I have a confession to make. I wasn’t particularly interested in visiting Kolkata’s best known monument, the Victoria Memorial. It is unquestionably large in scale, but I’ve never considered it all that photogenic. To state the obvious, it is more British than Indian—a lasting reminder of the British Raj as much as Queen Victoria herself. But the monument was within walking distance of the South Park Street Cemetery, and there was one part of it that I wanted to see for myself.
The British Empire was at its peak in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, controlling up to a quarter of the Earth’s land mass. It was during this period that Queen Victoria ruled over the Empire for more than six decades. In 1874, it was Victoria who dissolved the British East India Company in favor of direct British rule. When she died in 1901, Lord Curzon, Viceroy of India, decided that a monument should be built in her honor to document the history of her reign. Located in the center of Calcutta, the capital of Bristish India at the time, it would become (and remains to this day) the largest monument to a monarch anywhere in the world.
Despite being clearly British in style, there are nods to both Mughal and Hindu architectural styles. Each corner features a chhatri (the open domed structures) and the entire memorial is clad in white marble from the same quarry that supplied the marble used for the construction of the Taj Mahal. This was not a coincidence. Lord Curzon also specified that the chamber beneath the central dome be larger than that of the Taj. He was clearly mindful of the competition.
By the time construction began in 1906, Lord Curzon had returned to Britain. Five years later, in 1911, the British decided to move the capital to Delhi. Both of these events dampened enthusiasm for the memorial. When it was finally completed in 1921, it was something less than the centerpiece of the capital city of British India that was originally envisioned.
