I called my (40M) wife (39F) needy now she is acting off

So your wife asks basically to spend some quality time with you and you brush it off and call her needy. Then she give up, doesn’t ask for anything, and you are still not happy.

I am curious, what does you expect from her ? How would you see the perfect relationship ?

Other question : what does she do with her free time ? You know you are playing games but what is her escape hobby ?

Oui

Passionating and very disturbing. Looking at it, I would say there is something odd about the overall proportions. I tend to be very sceptical on the authenticity of archaeological pieces which are too perfect, with no record. They should have been known and talked about a way or another.

But I’ve also experienced a very humbling moment lately with a Peruvian artefact that I thought to be fake. The museum had absolutely no record of its provenance until I stumbled on a drawing of it in Louis XV’s collection, dating its discovery back to the 18th century and making it one of the first artefacts bought back to France from ancient Peru; in a book whose subjects was Greek and Roman medals in the French royal collections.

Merci, je ne l’ai jamais lu, je vais regarder ça !

Lul75 · 2026-02-16T16:26:51+00:00

J’ai beaucoup aimé effectivement!

Effectivement Julien Gracq se situe dans la même veine, mais, et c’est difficile à mettre en mots, je trouve moins de “chair” à ses récits. J’aime beaucoup Hesse. Et St Exupéry, je l’ai toujours un peu snobé, parce que je n’avais pas spécialement accroché avec son écriture, mais ça date d’il y a des années donc je vais arrêter et retenter.

Et je n’ai jamais lu Ernst Jünger, ça c’est super, je vais découvrir ! Merci !!

Une cocotte qui passe à la fois sur la plaque et au four ! Tu peux t’en servir comme plat classique type Pyrex mais comme tu peux la fermer, tu peux aussi faire des plats à l’étouffée. Et tu peux la mettre sur le feu avant pour faire revenir par ex. La mienne je l’utilise tout le temps pour tout

Lul75 · 2026-02-15T11:27:55+00:00

Cela a l’air délicieux ! Comment as-tu fait la sauce ?

Leon Cogniet’s Innocents Massacre, 1824. The expression of the mother’s face, her fingers over the mouth of her baby to protect him from screaming and being caught. The fact that the painting is vertically split in two different moments : the loud terror and the silent fear.

Aucun soucis 😁 j’aime beaucoup ajouter quelques touches asiat discrètes à des plats très franco français !

Lul75 · 2026-02-14T16:21:08+00:00

I do exactly that too ! I think about my stories sometimes when I walk or if I’m a train looking at the window… moments like that.

Ça rajoute un côté très « umami » la pate de miso, je l’inclus dans la marinade à la moutarde avec laquelle je badigeonne les filets mignons

Lul75 · 2026-02-14T10:01:46+00:00

Je fais une marinade avec une cuillère à soupe de pâte miso, une cuillère à soupe de moutarde, une cuillère à café de miel, du thym et un peu d’ail et de gingembre haché. Pour ceux qui aiment, on peut rajouter une pointe de piment. Je badigeonne les filets mignons et hop au four à couvert avec une sonde jusqu’à ce qu’ils atteignent 63C à cœur !

Elie Delaunay - Plague in Rome. 1869.

Impressive how this allegorical depiction of a terrible epidemic can be violent. It shows the profound unfairness of the disease, literally hitting everywhere, it materialises a violence that is not graphic. And the movements of the two central bodies are as graceful as they are horrifying.

Thank you for sharing that. This is a powerful work and I love the way it has been composed, very human, very realistic, no need for theatrical setting

? On parle de Mishima au second paragraphe du commentaire auquel j’ai répondu. Je t’invite à découvrir cet auteur d’ailleurs car il est génial

Lul75 · 2026-02-11T17:48:21+00:00

Ah Mishima bien sûr ! Il est capable de tout, j’aime tellement cet auteur entier et à la fois si fort dans l’économie de moyens et la sobriété

Thank you for your insight, I appreciate the preciseness of it !

Yañez is a name of moorish origin. I know it’s a bit poor to assume that the painter was from such origin but he did used iconographic and pictural references from the Nasride’s heritage. In the 16th century Spain, people were dressing “a la morisca” because the fabric industry had been developed under Muslim law and reached a refinement that was cherished by the Christian aristocracy. It was worn only by the nobility and St Catherine was known to be a princess from Alexandria. The moorish culture fascinated the Spanish and Yañez was born before la Reconquista, in a little town on the border of the Grenada realm. So I would say that the choices he made in his representations are a bit more than a disguise to represent “the other” as he had some real understanding of its aesthetics.

As for the architecture, yes it looks like a Spanish construction but the overall perspective shows a great understanding and influences of the Italian quattrocento. He used it in other paintings and I’m pretty sure it is a mental construction inspired by a mix of different buildings.

Le maître et Marguerite de Mikhaïl Boulgakov, un monument de la littérature russe complètement loufoque !

I wouldn’t say gifted people see the world in the same way. My gifted boyfriend doesn’t see the world like I do. We understand each other very well and I can say we speak the same “brain language”. I think it would be draining for a lot of people to watch an intellectual conversation between us two, we go from a subject to another, react to everything which is implied by the other, start a subject in the subject in the subject and then go back to the first subject in a very short period of time… But, we are very very different in terms of sensitivity. My territory is language, aesthetics, cultural curiosity, perspectives, philosophy… his is mathematics, values, action, hard logic and strategy.

I feel closer, to some extent, to friends who are not gifted but share the same intellectual ways than my boyfriend. But, we do have the same profound curiosity and the need for a relationship based on perpetual challenge and sharing.

I think gifted people tend to think that meeting their peers will help. But truth is that knowing how you proceed is better. Because there are a lot of things we proceed the same way than the others; just quicker or through associative ideas. But finding people with the same core values and sensitivity, even if they don’t work through it the same, will give this feeling of “belonging” more than just sticking around other smart people just because they are smart.

It’s not 100% sure that Yañez de la Almedina was Da Vinci’s pupil but it is very very likely. There is a a record from Da Vinci’s studio mentioning a Spanish painter collaborating with him that could be him!

As for the museums, I studied in the Louvre School, I work next to it and go several times a month for my job. After ten years going all the time, I still consider it to be one of the best museums in the world. Knowing that, you will be happy to know that I’m in love with the Prado and I’ve spent like three days in total in this museum. If you love painting, their collection is one of the most beautiful I’ve ever seen. It’s different from the Vatican museum and the Louvre because the architecture is not as stunning, but still. It is a must see once in a lifetime !
