The Death of Hyacinthos

from wikipedia:

The Death of Hyacinthos, sometimes referred to as The Death of Hyacinth, was completed by Jean Broc in 1801. It presently belongs in the collection of Poitiers and is often displayed at the Musée Rupert de Chièvres. This is Broc’s most famous work and is considered to be drawn from the Metamorphoses by Ovid. It is a depiction of the dead Hyacinthos cradled by his lover, the Greek god Apollo. In front of them is the discus which caused Hyacinth’s death, which was thrown by Apollo himself. The discus had been blown off course by the wind Zephyros, who was also in love with young Hyacinthos and was jealous of Apollo. From Hayacinthos’ blood sprang the Hyacinth flower which bears his name.

Computer update

The problem was a corrupt OS update. I am currently restoring from a Time Machine backup and keeping my fingers crossed that my music is included in that backup. I have a niggling suspicion I may have changed a setting that would have excluded it.

I might be having computer problems…

but that hasn’t stopped me from getting 100% on my homework assignment for the chapter that’s given me absolute fits all week.

However, it will probably stop me from getting any bills paid this weekend, since I don’t have my password manager program on my old iBook G4 and who the hell wants to type in passwords like I just did to be able to post this entry? For multiple accounts?

I ask you.
