New Banner

I just want to give a little shout out to chief herder Jason, who helped me get this nifty new banner up.

The image is from Magritte's Memoires d'un Saint (1960), which is hard to find, because Magritte's estate is really vigilant about keeping images from circulating around. I had to settle for the one fairly small image I could find--That's why it's a little blurry behind the font.

The painting depicts an image of the ocean and a lovely sky wrapped in a red curtain that curves around, which suggests to me the theatrical nature of life, and at the same time, the truth of theatre. I find it an apt image for someone who works on life writing in drama.
