Sometimes, we just need to amuse ourselves.
Who is your artist? Are you surprised? Pleased? Appalled?


Who Should Paint You: Gustav Klimt
Sensual and gorgeous, you would inspire an enchanting portrait...
With just enough classic appeal to be hung in any museum!

false spring

it's raining. A false spring: warm temperatures, slushy, melted snow, muddy yards, basement leaks, other leaks ruining my plaster walls.

There are a few partial poems lolling about in my head and lots, finished, I could post now, but when I read them, I wonder: What was I thinking???

(Thank you Cram 4)


This has been in my head lately...

So long, frank lloyd wright.
i cant believe your song is gone so soon.
i barely learned the tune
so soon. so soon.

Reading, misc., Obama!

Furiously reading The Greatest Story Ever Sold by Frank Rich. We were sold snake oil by Cap'n Bush!!!

Last week, on the news, President Obama said he made a mistake about choosing possible cabinet appointmentees who had tax issues-which is business as usual during any adminstration. He said he made a mistake, would learn from it and move on.
Bush made a MISTAKE: he broke our country. Anyone ever hear Bush admit to a mistake?
When was the last time you heard any president admit a mistake?
