hnnnnnggggghhhhhh!

That's precisedly what I thought which is why it was the first place I looked. Apparently, tho, sane people keep it in the fridge (or so a friend says)

When is your exam?

The first dog, Gizmo is as are the cats (tho the lil' black one has passed away recently). The rest I ve met, mainly in parks.

Today was the first time I have ever used a mad smile . . .

On the up side, I have a vast selection of stouts that I was planning on sharing with my friends this weekend. They are now sitting in the office fridge and will be consumed over the weekend.

We create the world we live in...

Oh goodie . . . I have you hooked . . . just like crack . . .

Maybe if you are a good little monster I will bring you more the next time I visit

That guy is smooth. Hold on and never let go.

Oh, and about the foot thing...it probably doesn't help that the only pair of shoes I brought weigh 7 pounds each:

cool - castles are great - Ive never been in one - make sure to get pictures of the dungeons -

No matter. I'm undecided where to go anyway. I rather fancy going to Scotland for a few days but I always feel it is an autumnal place to go - picture yourself sitting in a large leather chair, infront of an open log fire in the living room of a vast castle, wooden beams casting shadows up the walls, clasping glass of brandy and warming yourself while it rains outside over fields of heather. Mmmmmmm

I guess this time of year is more of a beachy thing.

*sigh*

hi

yes, Celeste and I had dinner and went for a long walk in NYC. It was fun.

Work has been WAY too busy. How are you?

You would have to be bonkers to name something Donkey nuts

I swear it made sense when I wrote it. The dirt bit reminds me of the opening lines of The grapes of Wrath all that thick sticky dirt. Oklahoma aint Ohio though, I forget how big the states is until I remind myself.

see? crazy eh?

Yep, I agree. I've ahd it checked by the careers service, and a couple of people in the industry who've said it's very good. But still, there are the bits that you have to change for each application, to tailor it, where you can always make another mistake...

fingers crossed.

have another 5 to send off today...

That's what I've always thought. The Bristish weather, rarely does extreme. It's just 'warm' or 'drizzly'... or some other half arsed state.

It's pretty cool being out in the middle of the wilds in heavy rain, and eventually getting back to your hotel, a few miles away, soaked to the bone, no feeling in your feet or fingers, cheeks stinging from cold/hail/wind. And then it hurts when you get in a slightly warm shower, to warm up. We're too comforted most of the time.

feel free to carry on, (you always seem to have something interesting to say) tho my responses might be intermittent as I'm trying to make myself go through accounts, receipts etc - yawn


Yes there is cool stuff emerging and for me it also merges in with the re-uses of 'western' materials (light bulbs, car tyres and soda cans being common materials) which has always interested me. Beautiful clever stuff in the Hornimans museum for example, or the Oceanographic museum in Paris. But there is a 'danger'

For example the Australian aborigines have a very specific iconography and 'style' to their paintings (pointilist to be trivial about it), which is very linked to their vocal history and storytelling traditions - If you've never read "Songlines" DO.

The aboriginal style has now become very collectable and there are some individual aboriginals working in the fine art world while still using the traditional visual style, but using the modern western 'oil on canvas' etc. This is all good in terms of 'Art' developing, but there is the caveat that originally, culturally to them as a people, it wasn't 'Art' it was about worship and respect of the land and the animal spirits, about mapping the land and telling stories... so the visual aesthetic remains but the reason behind it fades?

Same could be kinda pointed at us westerners having for example Tahitian or Japanese style tattoos? They come from a visual language that we can nolonger read beyond as decoration.

Another result, though maybe not directly, is that unique methodologies disappear. For example the Aboriginals (and I believe 'Red' and 'Indian' Indians too) all have a tradition of sandpaintings - images created entirely with different coloured sands and powders. 'Artworks' that have a specific life, for the duration of a ceremony. Needless to say this skill is not being learnt by the new generations and so if fading... possibly because of it's transitory nature


Meanwhile I think the growth of grafitti in western society has something to do with a return in modern man to needing to make a personal mark on his/her landscape, a kind of unknowing return to 'primitive' behaviours, the same for the growth of tattooing and piercing - the desire for a unique marking and identifying of oneself and important personal events, in some ways a dramatic act as a physical and/or spiritual 'rite of passage' in a society where all real such rites of entry into adulthood, are gone or fading.


y' see I can go on ( and on ) too

i don't remember being annoyed at you for the repeat listening, but then again i don't remember anything from then other than that i hated everything but you. & weed.

Viva Taqueria!! MMM...if anyone sends you a taco, get them to mail me a Basic Burrito. hell yeah.

i love you.

No problemo, it's always good to convert/corrupt more people into my strange hobbies...

it may have come out wrong, but I still like it.

Think about it, though. Something goes wrong in one manner, and leaves another effect behind. Although it may not be the desire that motivated the change in the first place, it creates something new. It creates something even in the wake of it's disaster. In this case, something beautiful from something regarded as bad. I love how chaos works out sometimes.

When hair dying goes wrong or ight for that matter I have to clean up the environmental disaster in the bathroom. Walls should not be included
