    René Gruau
    One more girly post about art, red lips, dress, perfumes and art) I guess I’m in the mood for something light and relaxing. René Gruau and his 50-ties and 60-tes are irresistible at this very moment.

    Advertising will save the world
    I’m getting old. Going out to the club for the whole night is getting tiresome, but still I had fun. So as today I’m not ready for long and clever thoughts let’s have an advertising break)
    Alcohol, masculine men in skirts, what else can be better in almost the end of the week?)

    Bec Winnel

    Speaking about the innocence in art. Is it just the look in the eyes? Or the face? Or maybe the background?

    Walter Girotto
    Walter Girotto I’m in the mood for modern art today, and this Italian painter is known for his interesting oil paintings, reconsideration of Klimt, tender almost Impressionism tunes. But I’m a huge fan of his drawings. NWS, that’s why I’m hiding it under the cut.

    Black Swan, Jaspers and Death Note
    So, three topics of my real life:

    Black Swan
    I wanted to see this film for a long time. From the moment I saw the trailer I was dead sure that I wanted to watch it. In the end everyone, but me, did. My friends, friends of my friends. But me. Tough luck.

    As far as I added a new tag, it's quite reasonable to use it.

    Chaos Rings
    What is the absolute advantage of IPhone4? Right you are – the chance to play the Chaos Rings.







    I’m not expecting a lot from phone games. Never did. But now I’m devoting all my time to a brave new world created by SE. In general, I think it’s not quite correct to speak in terms of allusions and references about the game, but it’s nearly impossible for me to choose other words for description. Otherwise, how can I explain all the parallels and lays that come to your mind while playing, when there are no direct similarities and borrowings?



    The plot is almost trivial – the Arc Arena, 4 pairs, 8 people, the fate of the humankind, the mortal combat. I saw it games and games ago. And in the end CR turned out to be something ambivalent, deep and stunning even with all the shortcomings.



    First of all I should mention the gameplay. Nothing revolutionary– random encounters, the battles are done in accordance with turns, after each battle you earn experience (upgrade) and get some money, which you can still spend equipping the character. But there is a way for a few interesting features though – you can fight on an individual basis or in pair (for stronger attacks) and the “break” system which adds extra force to the attack and defense of a pair or monsters. Speaking about equipment I should mention the Gene Plates. Every Gene Plate provides a player with a combination of spells, abilities, elements which can be successfully used during battles.



    The strong point – the characters and their stories. 8 people. Two of them will win and be rewarded with eternal life, which can be more difficult than fights in Arena. The pairs are united in an unusual way: an assassin and a young girl striving for revenge, an ancient warrior and his loyal wife, a bodyguard and a sweet weak princess, a young prince and a childhood friend, sent to kill him. The story of each participant is the one of loss, tryings and pain, and for each pair the battle will turn into understanding, recognition and absolution. This is the very meaning of Arena, the one able to overcome himself will survive. It’s a painful process and borders between friends and enemies are getting vaguer. Then it’s harder and harder to see your enemies losing. There will be no revenge for them. There is no ultimately evil character. Everything is done for the supreme goal – to save the humankind. How many people can be sacrificed? When a person understands that saving million lives is equal to saving just one person near you? An unexpected bonus is that there's no Cloud-type superhero. Chaos Ring is great without the usual depressive, reflexive, emotionally unstable main character.



    And locations. I can speak on and on about them. The destroyed, broken city, the empty, crumpled houses; cold wind and sharp ice in combination with volcano heat; the abandoned gardens and temples with ancient spirits still living there. Every place is absolutely stunning and enticing. I eagerly spent my precious time and equipment familiarizing, admiring, having fun.

    And in the end, CR is not a masterpiece, but it’s something fresh and it’s worth every praise said above.

    Ostara
    The celebration was strange and wounderful. Seeing friends I have not seen for a long time. Feeling of unexpectedly warm snow and melting ice. Welcomed gifts and shared strength.

    May all our sorrows be gone with winter, and a new period start full of joy and blooming.

    Happy Ostara to everyone.

    Emotions vol.1 - Despair and Misery
    I think most artists create out of despair. The very nature of creation is not a performing glory on the outside, it's a painful, difficult search within.

    Louise Berliawsky Nevelson

    If you don’t want to go through all these creations of despair, this selection can easily be turned into some sort of a game: choose a random number and the picture behind it would mirror your personal type of despair. So.... Let's see what's hidden?

    Snow
    My wish for snow has finally come true) It’s snowing heavily at the moment. I know it will melt in the morning, but the longing for eternal winter is so strong and the view is so enticing that I’m absolutely happy to live these moments.
    I’ve taken some pics, the quality is not good, but I’ll have something to remember during a hot and smoky summer.

    Waiting for February
    The closer the wolf month is getting, the more I long for snow - white, soft, clean and crispy; and for water, but not that transparent and shiny you see in your glass, but for dark and icy, that runs in a winter river. Regular Imbolc cleaning does not annoy me but brings strange pleasure. I keep touching my Tarot decks for comfort enjoying final fragile moments of winter peace.

    Strange thing – winter slumber made people around me absolutely sane. No more hidden wounds, sorrows and regrets, ambivalence, obsessions or desires. Just understanding and wisdom. Lunatic Deck is not quite pleased with the fact. But even I am too lazy and too fond of bright candles and warm blankets to move on.

    I’m not even that sinful according to the test) I hoped for Circle 6 or 9, but I am what I am)

    The Dante's Inferno Test has sent you to the First Level of Hell - Limbo!
    Here is how you matched up against all the levels:
    LevelScore
    Purgatory (Repenting Believers)Low
    Level 1 - Limbo (Virtuous Non-Believers)High
    Level 2 (Lustful)High
    Level 3 (Gluttonous)Low
    Level 4 (Prodigal and Avaricious)Moderate
    Level 5 (Wrathful and Gloomy)Low
    Level 6 - The City of Dis (Heretics)Low
    Level 7 (Violent)Low
    Level 8- the Malebolge (Fraudulent, Malicious, Panderers)High
    Level 9 - Cocytus (Treacherous)Low
