A Beacon of Hope

Dear Wonderful Reader,

In spirit of my Vintage Delights post, this pretty little thing came into my life. Its a clock radio, circa the 1960s, that is miraculously still functioning. It only works if its plugged in and the radio is super loud, however the sound quality decreases the louder it gets (don’t know if that due to its age or the mechanics back then). It also have a “sleep” feature so you could listen to the radio before you go to sleep and then it should turn off by itself. Also, you CANNOT miss its alarm sound, it creates the loudest buzzing noise I have ever heard that annoys the hell out me and (hopefully) will make it impossible for me to want to go back to bad. Alas, a beacon of hope to keep me punctual. Or so one hopes.

Ivan Konstantinovich Aivazovsky P. II

Dear Wonderful Reader,

Here is Part 2 of Ivan Konstantinovich Aivazovsky’s art. He was born on July 29, 1817 in Feodosia. He was a Romantic Russian painter from an Armenian descent. He lived in a poor household and gained fame at the of 25. Aivazovsky was unaffected by his new found fame and wealth, he lived a humble life by the (Black) sea  which he was fascinated with as evident in his paintings.
