Oh rage! Oh despair! Oh age, my enemy!
Pierre Corneille

I can hear Austin shout out these words when he looks into a mirror these days and see the grey hair appear in between the brown. Therefore, for him, a poem



"Return Home"

My young pulls my vesture and asks
Why do you return home late?
With whom did you contend for age?
Had won you grey hair on temples.

This poem was written by Du, Mu (803-852).

On another note, we were expecting Austin to show up in Italy, Rome and Ischia later.
So where is he? What's with not updating blog's in a very long time?
He can be anywhere now, or nowhere....
Is the next appointment Spain? For the Informers? Only asking.

Austin will soon be traveling to Europe.
I hope he does even if the BIL didn't update his blog and even if I can't go to Italy despite the fact that I'm on a holiday, sigh...
I'll give him something to take with him while travelling, a virtual soundtrack.
It shows my Gothic roots, I know.
Anyway, I hope he likes the music.

Some of you are asking now: what happened to Soundtrack 1? Why she starts with two.
I'll put it up one day.

Who could have guessed that Austin, on his way to Paris, made a short stop at Brussels.
Well, maybe one day it will really happen ;D

Well we heard from a presumably well informed source (the BIL) that Austin will be visiting Europe next week.
Why not let him spend the entire summer in Europe?

Because Anouska gave me this idea, I let him visit London first.  
The weather there is dreary, as it is over here.  
Can't have him walking around in the rain without protective clothing, so I had to look for some sunnier pics.

I wonder where he will go next ;)

My inner fangirl is crying, or cheering, it depends on the POV.

Austin's brother-in-law, Rowdy Stovall, informs us on his blog that he and Austin will be coming to Europe soon, if he is not already here, that is.

"I'm off to Ischia, Italy (an island just off Napoli) to screen Mexican Sunrise in a couple of weeks. We screen on July 20th in case anyone is in the area... check out www.ischiaglobal.com.

Matt Dillon and Kate Beckensale will be attending, so I'm hoping to somehow get them drunk and talk them into doing my next film with me. Austin Nichols, my bro-in-law and soon to be A-list actor, will be joining me since Ashley (my wifey) can't go. So, we're going to meet up in Rome a few days before the festival and 'kick it' bachelor style."

Sigh....
We have a saying here, it goes like this:  if the mountain won't come to Mohamed, Mohamed has to go to the mountain.
I'm afraid this Mohamed will stay home...

Rowdy's Irregular Dose

Looking at this picture at Hjulia's makes me feel better ;)

This is a post with a history, I wanted to make this for a long time but could not get the right result.
Last week I made something I was satisfied of, put it up, started to doubt, took it down again, tried to improve it...
In the end I thought the picture I already put up once, was better.

So here's a virtual gallery for Austin.
The big picture depicts the fall of the angels. I kept it in because we never got to know who John FC really was, was he an angel, the messenger from God, the Devil even.... the show stopped leaving us clueless.




Doubleclick the picture for better viewing.

For those interested in weird Romantic art, the original picture was taken at the Antoine Wiertz Museum in Brussels.

I took this picture on a cold and rainy afternoon in the Galery Sint Hubertus in Brussels.
I love the mirror image of the people on the wet street.
