RANDOM ART POST

well, today i had my 3rd indoor art do in many years. 3 strikes and you are out. never again. low entry fee. $35. WARNING WARNING-beep SUCKS beep SUCKS. that and a gardening group. fundraising. was in a south milwaukee church hall. cold. lucky i didn't do ANYTHING special except gather plate eisles. no 'stand'. just the eisels with different styles. took the landscape prints, watercolor prints-cats/horses. some game cat prints. acid mona prints. and the roadkill. nothing framed. i have a lobng white plastic tale in the middle of room in near the 'front' by food and door. my mom insisted on bringing some table cloths. used the blue cloth one. i stashed the matted prints under the table. no point here. i look towards the kitchen. women busy making lunch for sale. brats(sickly), hotdogs, and sloppy joes. i bet manwhich.
to the right of the food is a 'embroider person. she programs her singer and it stiches names on assorted stuff. ok, that is lame. next to her a scrapbooking table. ahh, sheeple fodder. then a 'jeweler'/beader. not very interesting stuff a bit in front of me and another jeweler next to her. all irish. nice but lame. on the other side i am looking at 'gift bags' with candy and knick knacks inside. cheap. sigh. next to that, in my left vision-oh lovely. i shall call it disco bamboo. he basically was reselling pre-made crap. asia meets tacky. shaped bamboo. in aweful aweful pots and plexiglass. they are on top sparkly black fabric-did i mention it was 2 older poofdahs selling the stuff? (who says gays are paragons of taste?) and strewn over the fabric blinking mini lights. DISCO! more stuff behind me. an oil 'artist' behind me. not too bad, better than tom krapcaid. but rather banal. next to her on the right is another servable painter. less for sale. somebody selling ssewing shit. a potpoirri table. a so so photographer. a baked goods table-that one good as they had almond tarts! and some stuff in a higher area. used books and a watercolorist. ok lame. i wrote letters, read the paper, listened to WHAD ya know. had too many thoughts of keith. wishing i was with him. instead of trying to make money amonst poo.
i went in not expecting much, so that fact that i DID sell a matted landscap print for $10, i was happy. only few took any interest and most people who were there to sell.
heh, how was your saterday?
well, i suppose it coulda been worse.

RANDOM ENCYCLOPEDIA BRITANNICA POST

BALES, peter-b1547-d1610 famous caligrapher. could do very very tiny writing. 1 of the first inventors of shorthand. yes, shorthand is that old! does anybody bother with shorthand anymore? is it like esperanto?

BALFE, Michael william-b1808-1870 singer, so-so composer. pop of the 1800's. quote from the EB. 'to speak of Balfe as an artist is either to misuse the word or permit the meaning to depend on temporary success, no matter how aquired.' the britney spears of the 1800's! dang, the EB can be snarky!

BALLOT 3+ pages. didn't read.

BALSAM-term for oleo-resin. doesn't mention it as a tree.

BALUCHISTAN-on arabian sea below afganistan. 4+ pages. what country is it now?

BALZAC, C Honore' DE-same amount as jane austen and nitpics at his writing as well. more snark.

Thomas Jefferson

a tyrant must (part?) on the appearance of uncommon devotion to religion. subjects are less apprehensive of illegal treatment from a ruler whom they consider god-fearing and pious. on the other hand, they do less to move against him, believeing that he has the gods on his side. Aristotle
