October 17, 2006 10:47 AM- sure, if you like orange

Let's just be blunt. I have not been in a bloggy mood of late. Simple as that. Not sure why-- I think it is because my life has changed so dramatically and I really have not in any way been able to catalog those changes here in real time hence, every time I go to post something it requires so much backstory I just say oh fuck it some other time.

Ad nauseum.

This would explain the reasoning behind my plan to take a hiatus. And yet, somehow taking a hiatus requires more energy and explanation than I have time to give it, so I keep on with the piddling posts. A tiresome loop for all, bien entendu.

Meanwhile, a lovely link for you that was shared at the ArtFest bulletin board. Truly exquisite-- but one of those times when you know the web cannot possibly convey the beauty and it really must be seen in person to appreciate the workmanship.

paper cut-outs

Things I am looking forward to this week:

1. Project Runway finale - oh yes! Although in the interest of full disclosure I almost wrote a letter to Laura to express my disappointment in her lack of sportsmanship, but then thought the better of it because WTF, who am I? Jiminy Fucking Cricket of the blogosphere? Yet, her actions did irrevocably reduce my love for her, but you know, there's still a lot left in that bucket.

2. Marie Antoinette Oh god-- yes. Even though this means I have to drive to freaking Boston to see it-- but since I'll likely sit through it three times in a row, it doesn't much matter. And please, if you're one of those who think this is a frivolous, ridiculous film-- go eat some cake already, wouldja?

3. Playwrighting Bada bing. Can you believe it? Yeah, me either. Spent the entirety of Saturday morning working on a new play. Woot. Will wonders never cease.



got 2 cents?

Oh yeah. I can't wait until tomorrow for Project Runway either. That preview sure as hell LOOKED like Jeffrey was getting kicked off, but then it may just be a big tease. I'm most excited to see what they all made though.

You may think these are piddlin' posts, but I assure you that to us they are little gulps of fresh air. :) Also, there's a goodly chance that I will be able to work from the U.S. office for a week or two next year some time. It's in Chelmsford...how far is that from you??

Also, I said the title of this post out loud a couple of times with a lot of attitude, it made giggle like mad.

I love poppies whether they're blue or orange...just as I enjoy reading your posts no matter whether they're big or small peeks into your world. The cut paper art is sheer magic from enchanted scissors - like clips from Edward Freaking Scissorhands. Amazing! and I never would have seen that, if it hadn't been for you and your blog. When you're parched, is a cup of water really any less satisfying than a waterfall? I'm just grateful for whatever words you deign to sprinkle our way. Lucky play audience in the future...

OMG... I have been waiting on Marie Antoinette for longer than Otter's been waiting for that baby to pop out. Good Good. They just seem to be producing more and more and more extravagant trailers! it's vicious, I tell you. "Vicious like I hit you with a flower." That's a quote from Andy Warhol. Betcha didn't know I could quote Andy Warhol. Betcha don't care either! And thank you thank you thankyou for the paper cutout links! Gorgeousity!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm going through a similar phase re blogging...just somehow not finding the extra time and energy for it right now. And yet when I do, I'm reminded of how very much it gives me all the way around. Balance...that bastard...where is he??

so glad you keep popping back and re: MA, I don't know whether to see it again (it comes out the same day here as the US) I want to but somehow I don't think English cinemas will have mini laduree macarons for sale instead of popcorn like they did in Paris. But oh god the soundtrack, I have to get the soundtrack. AND I can witter on about M.A ALL OVER AGAIN! Enjoy!
