  • What we did for Easter

    Anyway, what we did for Easter, which we don’t do here but who’s to deny H.o.p. an Easter basket, right? And when other people want to do Easter and invite us we’ll be there painting eggs with them if they like. Friday, Marty mentioned he wasn’t feeling too hot. Saturday, I got up with my…

  • The "official photographer" didn’t do so hot

    The Birthday Niece Light box enlargement Scads of nieces and nephews at yesterday’s birthday part. From the right, there’s a nephew, there’s a nephew held by a sister, there’s a niece right below reaching for something amongst the paper plates and the birthday girl niece beside her.

    Taliesin West – In the Sculpture Garden 2

    Taliesin West – In the Sculpture Garden 2 Digital painting 2007 Lightbox enlargement This has been sitting on my computer for a year waiting for me to finish it up. Another Taliesin Sculpture Garden painting is here. I just liked the shadows on the pavement as being a part of the sculpture garden at that…

  • I personally think the second dino was eaten

    Re the prior post. Memory is funny. I went to look at the Registration Desk painting I’d linked to and it promptly spat back at me one particular video I was listening to when working on the carpet and one of the walls of the yellow-green lit back room. Now we have all those other…

  • An awful mess

    Good griefinicious, there lies my brain, on the floor, all drippy puddled and entreating me to try to mold it so it has some measure of coherence again. But it ain’t happening. When I nudge it, all I’m getting are little burps of H.o.p.’s computer game music. Oops, now it spits out anxious images of…

  • In which I beg for ideas on how to maximize our kitchen counter room

    Witness the kitchen of our apartment. Most of the time, on blogs, people show pics of really cool looking kitchens which, if not bodaciously spacious, are aesthetically pleasing. They show pics of their new tiled floors or new ceramic tiled backsplashes. Not many people put up pics of ugly kitchens which don’t have a title…

  • Those glorious glories of war

    I do mean it when I said in the previous post that I’m surrounded by the nuts and bolts of it all as H.o.p. has watched Pal’s “Tulips Shall Grow” about 100,000 times in the past week and has been constructing potential film stars out of his erector set. In the meanwhile, I try to…

  • George Pal! War of the Worlds!

    The post header. That’s what we’ve been up to around here. The Fantasy Worlds of George Pal! I’d been promising H.o.p. for months a viewing of Pal’s “War of the Worlds” via Flickr. Finally we got it. The DVD played nonstop for two weeks, H.o.p. religiously studying in particular the test shot of the Martian…

  • Vampires Should Not Eat The Camera!

    With Dubai becoming the new Houston and citizens being so conveniently cut off from Medicaid and all the other assorted horrors in the world, I thought some more humor wouldn’t be a bad thing. In other words, yes I did indeed think the previous post and its home movie to be humorous. And this movie…

  • The Amazing Aquasaur!

    Now this is how you do (or don’t) start blogging again. You write a post and go to save it only to find your website has gone down and said post falls plunk into the void. Said post wasn’t about the new bookshelves (yes from IKEA) that we got, which we’ve needed since October for…
