Weird Shit Wednesday
It IS Wednesday, isn't it? Okay then.
I have some fairly long-standing tabs to get rid of.
Plus a brand new one from this morning:
Alzheimer's may be caused by interdimensional mind
parasites. Ah, so having found a possible cause, that
means a possible… Read full post »

My magic table
I have a small kitchen, and in addition to the usual
appliances and cupboards, etc., I have a desk for my computer and a
tv smaller than my computer.
A lot of the space is taken up with a couple of largish
rolling chairs. I did… Read full post »

Bad News Sunday - I didn't save the hummingbird
I found it on the blue-porch floor when I went around this
morning to admire the previous day's cleaning and re-arranging.
I guess it had flown in the previous day, attracted by the
things in the red porch, and couldn't find its way out. And now was
exhausted.

NUDE PAINTING OF CANADIAN PRIME MINISTER
The oil on canvas painting, entitled Emperor Haute Couture by
artist Margaret Sutherland
Couple of cute comments

article:-
The only comment from the Prime Minister’s Office was from
his chief spokesman Andrew MacDougall on Twitter:… Read full post »

Beheading time
The time has come.
The daffodils have already been beheaded. Now it's time
for the tulips.
Seems such a shame. They've budded and bloomed, put
their sexiness out there...and some of them have mated, albeit by
way of wind or bee. Now seeds are developing.… Read full post »

CANADA THREATENS CIVILIZATION!
Whodah thunk. Polite, grey Canada (it's particularly
grey today, in my part of the country) would hold the future of
humankind in its, uh, hands.
Well, actually, I think the gigantic populations of India and
China, with their unreasonable aspirations… Read full post »

Foodie Tuesday - Beltane feast
The salmon of wisdom...stuffed with rice flavored with
parsley, raisins, etc. Accompanied by spring vegetables -
mushrooms, asparagus and fiddleheads.
Everything cooked in foil over the cauldron.
No, not cooked by me. &nb… Read full post »

AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT
Lying in bed at night when sleep won't come I started writing
a novel in my head.
I have written books before. In fact I have a whole file
drawer full of them, which I will scan one of these days before
consigning them to the fire.… Read full post »

Myriad does Foodie Tuesday - ripping off daughter
I hardly ever cook. Tho I'm cooking tonight, in honour
of Foodie Tuesday...but it's just some chopped vegetables
stir-fried, tarted up with salad dressing, and served with a piece
of frozen sole. Uh, sole will no longer be frozen when
served.
But my daughter who live… Read full post »

What a difference a day makes
(Starting lower in an effort to avoid that low-hanging mess at
the top of posts...)
So...one day it's sunny and warm and
all the spring things spring out of the ground. Pictured
here, yellow tulips and yellow daffodils (in the yellow section of
the garden, natch.)… Read full post »

The annoying outta touch Ann Romney
Nice lady I'm sure, and too bad about the M.S., but neither of
those conditions mean you got an opinion worth spouting to the
masses.
Mitt has been saying stupid shit about how Ann lets him know
what women are thinking, cuz, like, they're some kind… Read full post »

NEW CANADIAN QUARTER W. GLO-IN-DARK DINO
Are we a first in radioactive, uh, glow-in-the-dark coinage?
No
joke.
Um, not regular quarters. Special *collectable*
quarters that will cost $29.95 each.

Song of Lifelong Love...Lost
I had carpal tunnel surgery yesterday and can't type much for
a few days. Here's something better than I could type anyway
- one of A's songs from our *recording session*. You don't
have to understand the words to understand the feeling...

WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU PEOPLE?!
Read this. A soulless monster worries that the government is out to gitcher-soul, starting with (ABOMINATION!) affordable health care (oh the horror).
This from some guy whom YOU PAY FOR HIS TOP O' THE LINE HEALTH CARE.
Here's an exerpt. The speaker is Steve King, whom some morons

THE GREEK
I am not all that into old art. (Or modern art, for that matter – just some representational art of the near past, like Group of Seven.) All I knew about El Greco was that he painted attenuated ectomorphs. (Due, some people said, to wonky eyeballs.) And,… Read full post »

In the recording studio...
...which was a friend's bedroom, actually.
He lives with his sound equipment (and many instruments, and
his girlfriend) upstairs in this old coach house, while the cars
(belonging to the owners of the Big House) live downstairs.

Sugaree, sugaroo...and cholesterol too! (Yum...)
It's maple-sugar season!
Last weekend a group of us went to an old-fashioned Quebecois
"sugar shack", and partook of old-fashioned Quebecois country
cookin'. Maple-sugar-season style.
The meal started with *traditional* pea soup.

St. P's day coming - here's a (very) little green
People have been posting with pictures of flowers and buds and
birds... Here in Eastern Ontario the snow is melting and a little
green is showing through. Not nearly as picturesque, but it's the
best we can do at this point.
Garden looks pretty bleak

HOT CHOKE-O-LATE IN SPAIN
Hey, Coyote, this one's for you. You said you daughter
recommended hot chocolate in Spain.
Well, one morning, when we had one of those stops ("There's a
castle up on the hill there you can walk up and see, but the bus
leaves in half an hour"),

Well paint myself blue and yell *FREEDOM*
Inspired by BJ's
post of this morning.
The thing about a society is that we're all inextricably intertwined. It makes the subject of *freedom* very vexing.
Sure, you are *free* to smoke and gorge. But, alas, I am not *free* to get out of picking up the… Read full post »

HOLY TOLEDO!
Toledo is just up the road from Madrid, and we went there as a

Landscape on the way - agriculture; also an Airbus factory and
lots of furniture factories & showrooms.
