Grassy ass - not so hard to say

My first attempt at art in years - Still Life with Orange
I just pressed "Save as Draft" in the blogger edit window and lost an entire blog - photos and all. It irks me to no end.

I have now gone into gloat mode (see dodgy art i painted this week to the left) and now I will try to emulate the posting, with a rather sour tone.

It all stemmed from a recent spate (if a spate can be 1 or 2) of present purchase, wrapping, attaching of card and giving. I am not sure if the gifts were not liked or appreciated, or whether the card fell off, the envelope did not seal or some other issue transpired. I am unaware of what to do, how to act, what to say or whether to just cull friends (as i'm prone to do in any case). However, for the moment I'm just going to sit back and see if my thoughts (or the reading of this blog) has eked a reaction. To quote The Big Lebowski:
Walter Sobchak: You know, Dude, I myself dabbled in pacifism once. Not in 'Nam of course.


There grange somewhere in there
Before the crash of 26 October on my PC, I also wrote of being annoyed by one-way flights costing more than return, the weather last weekend (see photo below), being meshuggah to be swimming in that cold water (ibid) but my draft was not saved, so I will have to leave it at that.

I feel like a drink... and no better place than Beppi's cellar (left) to find a few dusty bottles of red.In the inimitable words of The Dude: Hey, careful, man, there's a beverage here!







And a Demetri Martin quote to end:
Saying I apologize is the very same as saying I'm sorry, they're the same. Unless you're at a funeral.
