By the way, the word you were looking for is albedo, not libido.

When I was but a youth, I decided to become a cultured and sophisticated gentleman. I found I had a genuine appreciation for classical music and fine art. I studied hard and learned many of the classics. I abstained from alcohol for many years, as drinking and smoking were against my principles. I still don't smoke, but I've learned to appreciate good wine. 
 
Then I realized what I've become. Good God, I'm Frasier Crane!

Good Lord this paper sucks,
It flows like rup-tured ducks
Wading through tar.
Don't need no steenk-ing facts,
Whack logic with an axe,
Makes Prof want to swal-low tacks,
This paper sucks.

No more sound of roosters waking me up at 4 in the morning! That's a definite plus.

"Kepler's Alien Dance"

Every so often I get that fanciful question: "If you could live in any time period, which would it be?"
 
There seems to be some romantic notion that things were somehow better before.
 
I have, as I've grown older, started to think such people are mad.
 
We may like the fashions of a particular time, but really - living in the past?
 
I like hot-cold running water, electrical do-dads, modern medicine, instant communication, internet shopping....
 
And dozens of restaurants and movie theaters and shopping malls and global shipping.
 
Without modern medicine alone, I would already be dead. At 41. No ands, ifs, or buts about it.
 
My mother would have been dead years ago.
 
Indeed, I am typing this post via the free wireless on the rapid ride on my commute home.
 
No, thank you, I do not desire to live in the past.

I found a picture of Cancer and "Madame Balvatsky" in a compromising situation.
 
Excuse me while I go bleach my brain and cauterize my retinas.

Oh -- and the figure running into the TARDIS? It's a bird! It's a plane! 

Here's a much bigger image of it.

Painting on a different canvas
 
I painted on Saturday.  That is not particularly unusual for me.  What was unusual was that it was on my friend Pete’s face.  I’ve done a couple of wounds for my wife, when she does roleplaying scenarios for nursing students.  My wife is a professor of nursing and recently, she “played” a patient who had fallen and had a huge gash on her leg, bleeding.  The students have to access and figure out what to do.  It is startlingly real for 1st semester students and they get all kinds of flustered.
 
So.  I’ve had some experience doing blood trails, wounds and puss with cheap make up.  But Pete, who is a drummer in the heavy-metal Ire Clad, was doing a gig at the Haunt, here in Ithaca, on Saturday as a zombie.  Pigment is pigment, hopefully, I could pull this off.  So, here is my very first horror make up job.  This is all brushed on.  No cool airbrushes like on Face Off.  Pete did the clothes with a belt sander for the distressing and watered acrylic through a spray bottle for the blood.  I think his clothes came out better than the make up.  But it was a ton of fun to do.
 
Here be a link to Ire Clad’s own facebook page with more pics.  https://www.facebook.com/ireclad
 
And here are my pics!



 
 
Also, unrelated, I needed to do a warm up the other day, so I decided to do the Ten Ton Studio’s sketch challenge.  Which is DC comics’ Mad Dog.  Come on by the Mad Dog sketch challenge thread and check ‘em out.  You can vote on them too.  So, if you like one sketch in particular, please vote, you do not have to belong to Ten Ton Studios to do so.  Voting starts tomorrow (Wednesday).
 

None of you can scare me now. Today I saw a guy cosplaying Yabba Slavegirl Princess Leia.
