Art History:Masaccio-Donna and I attended the Park Street Church,Boston

I was very glad this evening to listen to Donna sing in church again. We attended a service at the Park Street Church in Boston. I like the church and we will probably return regularly but-Get ready for this: the program literally reads "and deliver us from the Evil One" Doesn't that give the concept of an anti-Christ, if one ever really existed, a little too much angelic power over our free will; like its modern and weird? but nevertheless its the Pater Noster. (Where in Latin does it make Evil equal to a thinking being with volitio?) In any event, the minister seemed sincere. To me, at my age, there were too many rhetorical questions for any lecture or sermon, but that's his technique of the homiletic.
Of course, I was there because Donna wanted to go, not to debate agnosticism; therefore I had a beautiful time and we are deeper in our relationship for having gone together. I understand her more than I would have. She did happen to study art history at an all girl Catholic college (Georgian Court College), so I have included a copy of the painting that the minister had on the screen of the altar (the narthax if I'm correct ). It was on an oaktag projector and was painted by Masaccio in 1426-27.
Its an amazing painting for that early in the fifteenth century: look at England and Sweden during the year 1426. Its title is Expulsion from the Garden of Eden.

The musicians did quite well this evening- the music is there to express a love for God, or a love of the human beings that were sent here by a God, by proxy. The text was from the book of Galatians and Genesis about the "removal of a curse by the Savior Lord, Jesus Christ", which infers the theme that after the expulsion from the garden of eden, God later showed compassion, if not forgiveness, to man. If the bible did read "deliver us from the Evil One" rather than "Lead us not into temptation" then eventually you would tend to ask, "did god kill his only son", which no one seems to ask; its more that he vicariously condones the sin of man and allows it to deliver a shot to the throne just to proove his omnipotent point.

But we who are in love, we who love each other, we who make love- went together. Sunday, not much to ask. (I appreciated a cup of coffee in that ancient edifice so much, it was built before 1820)

CBS Radio Mystery Theater The Locked Room

After "studying" The Inner Sanctum almost every night for two or three months, I've returned to listening to the CBS Radio Mystery Theater. I'm thrilled to hear an episode of either series every night of the week- I type while listening.

Donna- after her birthday

She's all smiles. I walked in while she was taking a shower and she didn't for how long I had been there. She leaves the shower curtain wide open.
I didn't blog about yesterday, for that reason, but there are green cupcakes left on the table.

Please allow my to look for more Art Noveau, Art Deco posters, which really isn't everything I look for; I look for PreRaphealite-Symbolist as well.

Is there a greater nemesis for Sherlock Holmes than Jack the Ripper?

Sherlock Holmes Radio Drama

Its Donna's birthday and I found something that I liked for myself, which she said was cool.

Actually, these are two of the nicest radio dramas of the modern era I have yet heard. Please feel as though I recommend them for your listening pleasure and to intrigue you.

For those of you residing in London or its environs, it was in fact Donna's birthday and Daylight Savings Time. As we had an errand to run we went to a nearby local churchyard. Please form an opinion on the above photo of where we spent the afternoon. It was a nice contrast to last night, when we went into the city to see a movie and had birthday cake at midnight. The abrupt change in the weather allowed us to go to the chapel this afternoon. Feel invited to write a poem about the statue, which is concrete from the late nineteenth century.

In regard to the link below, I was fortunate enough to see The Seven Percent Solution first run in a theater. Please experience the story as it was broadcast as a radio drama.

The Seven Percent Solution as originally aired on radio

I brought her a rose this morning (and plant food to help save the poinsettia I gave her, which is sprouting new leaves)

Birthday Cake at Midnight, Donna and i went to another movie( Jennifer Aniston)

Donna's birthday was tonight and there was birthday cake left for midnight. I looked through the empty Valentine's Day heart shaped candy box where we keep movie tickets  to find which movie we saw at the theater we were at tonight, but most of them read Harvard or MIT, whereas tonight we saw the film on Tremont Street-  there are seven different films that I noticed. Its a cool thing in which to keep concert tickets.
After the movie we had dinner. I understand Jennifer Aniston better now after seeing her in this, whereas Horrible Bosses she was more of supporting actress- she is in fact a modern comedianne. Her and Donna can be alike at times I would not be disappointed if it was written be a studio script department that may have had her or her script approval in mind- but the film is like the Descendants in its have a layer of profundity, which I like about both films, It might not be how I like to experience the profound, but if there is a new "intelligent comedy" film emerging (genre, subgenre) I do happen to welcome it. Chaplin as actor, writer director did include what it is to be human in his entertaining people with what is humoruous. If I think they overrated The Descendants as a film, then it could be I like Aniston, or Aniston in this film. And yet, we went to a later movie tonight and I'm only typing during an after dinner coffee- honestly, this is all I've written tonight and it's been less than ten minutes.

Scott Lord: Rebel Without a Cause (Ray 1955)

I wrote a note for Donna on You Tube. I gave her a copy of Splendor in the Grass for Valentine's day and today happened upon a copy of Rebel Without a Cause, which I added to her birthday presents. To substitute for a date tonight we got a pizza for dinner during the snow, which makes a a good night to screen the film.
