On this date, 9 years ago, I gifted a coffee painting to William Kircher, depicting him as Bifur the dwarf
Tumblr media
I tried to find a full body reference picture, but simply couldn't locate one at the time 😅 My lovely cat Bambam kept a watchful eye over the process. William was lovely, and he was happy to keep the portrait 😊

Painted with instant coffee on smooth heavyweight paper

Stephen Hunter shared a video of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey premier in Wellington, New Zealand as today (22/12/22) is the 10th anniversary of the event
(Sadly, no Richard Armitage in sight, but at approx. 16 secs you can hear the crowd chanting his name 😅)

Many threads come out to play here, and not all of them are fleshed out, but enough are to warrant a look. Retitled since its festival run as Captive, you can find it to rent on most platforms and on Vudu for free.

The concert was just awesome and I imagined being together with Eddie. I know he would've loved everything so flipping much and he would've walked on stage to the actor, joined in the jokes and then got himself an autograph. Two nerds being nerdy and silly together.

To offer a countervailing perspective to that of the strictly humoral or strictly miasmatic theories, my Father, the renowned polymath Athanasius Kircher, wrote in 1658:
"Plague is, in general, a living thing [...], a slow, viscous malignant rot with a stench. [...] Everyone knows that decomposing bodies breed worms, but only since the wonderful discovery of the microscope has it been known that every putrid body swarms with innumerable vermicules."
He proposed that plague could be prevented by appealing to the doctrine of signatures, using amulets made of bumpy toadskin to attract the corrupting bubonic influence of the infinitesimal contagion to itself rather than to the lungs of its wearer.
So perhaps this "germ theory" of which your readers speak has some merit to it after all!
Your most sincere and humble servant,
Dr Athanasius of Rome
Well, perhaps if toadskin amulets actually worked, I would give more credit to his theory :( unfortunately, neither in my day nor the days of the authors of the works I studied when researching plague (Dr. Nathanial Hodges, and noted apothecary William Boghurst, both men of education and medicine during the plague of London in 1665) showed any treatment with toads, be them amulets or still-living-when-applied, proved at all effective when it came to plague... Alas, it is not my own stubbornness that prevents me from subscribing to these new-fangled theories! it is the simple lack of constructive results. Perhaps some day, there will be a strong enough case to change my mind.

It was fun! William Kircher was there and I get that you need some sort of MC but I desperately wanted him to shut up several times I'm so sorry
The orchestra was really nice. Which doesn't have to say much coming from me bc I think every orchestra is nice. But they sounded beautiful
As you can see I had a front row seat! Sadly I didn't get to see much of the woodwind players from there (and I love watching them, they make fantastic faces)
I was wearing a mask (and from what I've seen I was the only one) which was beneficial in more ways than one - when they chose people from the front rows to get on stage they aggressively avoided me
