Second post! (I should come up with better titles...)

So...this is my second post. Well you-if there is a "you" at all- will have guessed as much. Otherwise you'd be stupid and I don't want you to be here, so go away!
Now to all the ones who were clever enough to figure out that this is my second post:
I have no idea what I want to tell you. I wrote my essay but it's crap and I still got to type it and print it out. I doubt my lecturer will like it but it doesn't matter. So I rather should go and type it but I don't feel like it at the moment. But since I scarcely ever do feel like it, that's no good apology. Maybe I'll do it once this post is finished...and I found out how to reprogramme my website so it meets with my wishes? Nah, better not. I'm slow with learning html and css and everything. Or maybe it's just the problem that I have an excact idea of how it shall look so I got to find a way to make it like I want it to be. I want things to be perfect. Not always. Not with essays as you can tell. But with fanart or stuff like this website. Oh and I wanted to try and figure out how to make this blog look nicer....yeah, I should probably do that after I've typed my essay.

I know, that's not interesting in the least but who cares as long as I'm the only one reading this silly rambling? And I named the blog "rambling overkill" so I should start to produce some kind of overkill. To be honest I named it that way because I had no idea at all of how to call it. But I ramble a lot and "Overkill" by Kosheen happens to be one of my current favourite songs so...I guess it's fitting enough.


There are a few things I could talk about...or write.
"Die Gesandten" by the painter Holbein d. Jüngere. That picture is extremely fascinating! I don't know if anybody knows it. The interesting thing is - and I still don't know how he managed to do it - that he painted a skull beneath those two men but distorted. If you stand directly in front of it, you hardly see it.. But in the house it was hung up, there was a staircase and if you went down that staircase and looked at the painting from an angle of 27° you could see it quite clearly. Modern technology manages to deskew(?) the skull.
There are a lot of other fascinating facts. Some historians say that they found out that those men stood there on Friday, April 11th 1533 between 3 and 4 pm! Don't ask me how they did this. But that's not all because that Friday was a Good Friday and exactly 1500 years after Jesus died. For this year, one of the gospels predicted the apocalypse and during that time, Martin Luther was thought of as the antichrist! The angle of 27° also plays a major role within the painting. And it is said that this was the angle that the sun had during Jesus' crucifixion! I can't tell to what degree all of this is true but well...I am terribly fascinated by that picture! And apart from all that, Holbein is just a very good painter! You can almost feel the fabric of the clothes and all when you look at the picture. I wish I could paint a bit like that! But I'm hopeless with brushes - unless they're Adobe Photoshop brushes of course *lol*

Now, this should be enough for now because I must dash to uni to learn more interesting stuff...or not. Later on, I could tell you about a second painting we discussed yesterday. That one is more mystical because people don't really know what the painter wanted to paint with it. But you'll see...
