It's funny how time just disappears like that. if I could every look at art without stealing it into my mind, I would lose entire weeks in an instant in an art gallery.

How great that you and Lemon escaped jail, ...er, got to visit with each other! Yeah, that's it!

Smart too! Can't fool me. :) Well, sometimes. OK, quite often actually, Ok, almost every damn time. Fine. I'm a big damn fool, who swallows everything, hooks and all. But not this time!! !


I think I need to go sit in my oak tree and rest my brain! What am I fooling you about now?

Postie, why do you have my small words as your signature? Every time I read it I can clearly see you with your hands on your hips, head going side to side and with a high-pitched "NA na NA na Blah blah blah" rhythm while saying those words. :P


Ok, ok, I hear ya. First it's merle doesn't like my picture, then it's, no wait someone else didn't like a picture before and then it was, oh hell I forgot. Domination was the biggest word I could count, I'll look for bigger, I mean that has to be better, right?. Gimmie about a week, I don't take to change very easily. Na Na Naa- Naa Na *sashys out of the cafe to go look for insperational works he can steal*

Oh and if my voice is high, I'm nervous. My voice is actually very low. It's an easy tell (mark) for others to read about me. When I have attempted to sing in the past it wasn't good, it was much better in the shower, but I was relaxed. Now showers are an ordeal and I've learned to relax my voice. Now if I could just get on key......

He DOES have his reflections all wrong! 8O She's right. So I can probably safely assume that you and Lemon WERE too loud and rowdy after your jailbreak. I'll bet you and Lemon did the Cotton-eyed Joe right there in the museum!! ! 8O That's what happens when Belgians and Britts get together. SHEESH!! ! Good thing Lemonette was there to keep an eye on you two.

ADD blonde. Needing marbles. Uh-huh. :) Well you are an ADD blonde. But not what that implies. :)
Go to your oak tree Lauri, rest your head. I know you've had a migraine today. I, of course, am never hard to follow. So it must be you. Pthhhhttt!! ! Pthht!! ! Phtt!

I just remembered. Although this image hardly does it justice, the first thing Lemon saw, on entering the gallery, was this, to which she said "Wow!", and had to walk up to stand two inches off the canvas, when her daughter felt she had to drag her away. However, I'd guess the Tate is far more accommodating than other galleries. They have attendants in every room, all the time, but they seem not to mind if you get a bit carried away. The smaller canvasses are glassed in (I know, because it stopped my finger when I poked one painting). The larger ones have an inconspicuous guide rope near the floor, in front of them, about half a metre out. When looking at the rather large Gordale Scar, I wondered what was touching my leg. Yes. I also do the "stick my nose on the canvas" bit.

Another complaint from Lemonette was that the woman's head in "The Doubt: `Can these Dry Bones Live?'" was too small.

On a more abstract note, Lemon liked "Hesitate" and we both wondered what would happen if we started to eat the "oranges in a rectangle on the floor" (of which I can't recall the actual title and can't locate a picture).

Not my favorite Bansky, but colorful, isn't it.

Now this one and the story behind it really gets me.

This dude still active on the streets, lau? I heard they sort of clean up his work rather fast. Damn art critics anyways.

Hahaha! This one kills me! :) If you read any survival book, it always recommends a knife as an important tool to carry. But I have studied homeless people on the street, and clearly the most important tool to have when life is at the most basic is the shopping cart, because almost all of them have one. So I have one in my bomb shelter, along with tons of plastic bags, in case of a holocaust.

And here we have proof positive that the shopping cart was a life necessity even as were arrows and spears!! !

I'm sure that Postie has found several in his digs. I think a book should be written on how they gave man supremacy over all other beasts. Yea, if not for shopping carts, no language! No pizza! No agriculture! No weather vanes! I could probably prove this, but I leave the idea for others to pursue.

I retreat to watch the great horned owl that fell into my pond just now. Graceful beasts my ass. Probably drunk. Damn drunk owls.
