the roaring inside her

A few disjoited thoughts:
I really like this photo series from National Geographic, Being Jane Goodall. I don't know if I could pull it off (i tend to stick with black dress as my outfit of choice year round) but I would like to take some sartorial inspiration from Jane this Summer. I remember 'studying' her when I was about six.

The other night I watched a David Attenborough primate special and I thought of you Han, there was a whole segment on Lemur mating habits, you should watch it if you haven't already.
I love David Attenborough, so much.

Anita Berber was a weimar-period caberet dancer, among many other things. She is the subject of this painting by Otto Dix, was probably the first person to dance naked onstage and is widely considered to be an important predecessor of modern performance art. You should read this article to learn more. Also of interest is this film, Anita - Tänze des Lasters, which is about a woman who "goes insane, believing herself to be the notorious Anita Berber, a nude art dancer/drug addict/scandalous figure of post-WWI Berlin."

It all sounds VERY interesting. Oh, and you can see some archival footage of her on this (German) news story.

thats where you'll find me

I just listened to a very interesting breakdown of why, musically speaking, "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" has been lauded as the best song of last century. Then I listened to the song, and shivers ran up my spine. If you haven't listened to it in a while, I reccomend that you do.

I'm sorry for posting another video but oh wow, click here to watch several videos from the Discovery Channel explaining dino-sex which I'm sure is something we are all very interested in learning more about.
