My Mother's Boyfriend

i was feeling very ignorant of european culture in the way only an english person can be, so i google imaged Caspar David Friedrich. I can totally see why you like his works Miss Nineteenth Century. A lot of them looked like they should be used as the cover picture for frankenstein or something. very gothic indeed. im more of a fan of stuff like the impressionists, expressionists and art nouveau but i can definitely appreciate paintings like those. You're a very lucky girl!
By the way, be proud of me, im considering taking TWO victorian modules in my MA!

i must say, having just looked up the work of Mr Friedrich here, I was a little disappointed. I think that's probably because I was imagining something akin to the work of HR Giger. Must learn the difference between Gothic and gothic.
And, just to confuse you,

Haha!! I really really love the drawings of the owls in the graveyards, sooooo gothic!!
Btw, any of you coming to Holland any time soon? Am at my grandparents with a really bad cold.... Need some friends!!

Merel - come back, or at least be somewhere where you're online. I miss you.
Lizzy - whoops. have set it so anyone can comment now. You know, I'm not even bothering to do the sudokus any more? I reckon it was ALL about the boredom.
Will be back home tomorrow night, and able to talk for as long as you want. Cold finally becoming less. Cousins being lovely. Found an old postcard my mum sent my grandparents ages ago, when I was still TINY... cute.
