The ham did not normally look like this with his hair up straight despite its tendency for it to do so. It’s the expression I am making as I check this to be ready for the send-off.
Well, Merlock is watching his program on the TV, birds this time. It makes a nice soothing background noise for me. It is funny to see him sitting in his regal pose and see his response to what is happening on the TV. It is equivalent and as guilt making as if you plop your child in front of a cartoon or movie. The commercial jump you because all of a sudden some loud person is selling something.
I am up to page 21 with the story of Ruby Luna in the children’s book series, The Snap Dragon Family. I will need to take a break and do what I dub the domestic shit. I should call it stuff instead because that is more fitting. It’s filling the dishwasher, vac-cing, and putting away things left out. Like a bunch of bags, groceries were in. I love going and picking it up all paid for and bagged. It makes life easier these days. I have less chance of bringing something to Alex who would likely die. It is very serious for someone with Diabetes One. He is here because Mom is an LPN. Tom had retired, although he did not come to stay more permanently until after Tom’s death. I think Mom had ulterior motives. She wanted Mom to have company. I have someone I need to care for, a bit anyway. We work out pretty well. It’s a lot like when Tom did his own thing. Less noisy as Thomas was a movie buff, and oh! God! The days of political interest! Thank God Alex does not do that! I needed to escape to the studio then!
Once, there were videos, minus all commercials mind you of Bushes presidency around here. Bless him and excuse me I have no use for those, and so guiltily put them in the dumpster where I hope someone found them who would like them. All neatly boxed into closed boxes. I will never know.
I live in Southern Maine. I am the owner of Anisette Studios. My website is https://www.anisettestudios.com/ Here you can view and purchase Shibui, sign up for my newsletters, blog, and read articles about Shibui Found Image Art. Patrons get great deals several times a year and special items at times. My site makes it easy to contact me. My primary art form is Shibui Found Image Art. Shibui begins with action art and stems from the imagination. It is like seeing something in the clouds or solving a puzzle. Its creative process has its own rules and requires what I call reverse engineering due to a lack of an understructure and purely out of the imagination. In addition to those who patron me, my target groups are those who use art therapy. I will soon be teaching live. Contact me if you would like to learn live. I use Zoom. I request that although my art, other images, and what I write is now published by me here on WordPress; I do ask you do not to use my artwork, poetry, or the information about Shibui Found Image Art without my permission. I am quite available to make such requests. I wish to share the following: The existentialist philosopher Simone de Beauvoir wrote a book called The Ethics of Ambiguity. In it, she lays out a guiding ethic in response to the philosophy of existentialism. It might be somewhat familiar to you already. She writes, “To will oneself free is also to will others free. This will is not an abstract formula. It points out to each person concrete action to be achieved.”
Best wishes to all! Have good times and keep safe! Pejj
