my life as a artist
testing times
Thursday 28th January 2010 9:53 PM
After the scintillating clarity of the recent snow and ice, I've found this last week's dullness rather testing, and after much examination have decided to award all the grey days grade A's. I was going to give them B+'s, but I felt that the sheer consistency of the sickly pallor of the joy-sucked fields, lying flat and listless under a tamazepan sky, merits full marks.
Yesterday afternoon, me and the birds, or the birds and I, the first sounds vulgar, the second pretentious, had a small ceremony in the garden to mark their achievements, a sort of grade A grey day graduation day. With a 2HB, or not 2HB, (that is the pun), I wrote 'nothing' on a rizla paper and put it on the bird-table, and while we waited for it to absorb the gift of damp, some of the finches chucked sunflower seeds over it. After a few minutes, when the rizla paper and seeds had become one, the long-tailed tits ate them and took them as offerings to the land of the weather gods, far away in the north, beyond the veil of darkness, somewhere near Easingwold.
That this dank marriage of seed and rizla should be consummated in the belly of a long-tailed tit should not surprise anyone familiar with bird-lore, nor that the bird was elected as our messenger, for the long-tailed tit is famously much more discreet than it's close relative the tell-tale tit, whose mother can't knit and whose father walks with a walking stick.
An hour or so after the ceremony, maybe in a fit of blushing pride, the sky became vaguely opalescent for a few minutes, and this morning it seems as though the grey days have declared a public holiday, because after five days of being really slack in the headwear department, the sun has finally put his hat on, and because it's the end of term, he's come out to play. Hip hip hip hooray!

Greetings! I know this is kinda off topic however I'd figured I'd ask. Would you be interested in exchanging links or maybe guest authoring a blog article or vice-versa? My blog discusses a lot of the same topics as yours and I believe we could greatly benefit from each other. If you're interested feel free to shoot me an email. I look forward to hearing from you! Superb blog by the way!

Hey there, I think your blog might be having browser compatibility issues. When I look at your blog in Opera, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, amazing blog!

Wonderful website you have here but I was curious if you knew of any message boards that cover the same topics talked about here? I'd really like to be a part of online community where I can get feed-back from other experienced individuals that share the same interest. If you have any suggestions, please let me know. Many thanks!

Greetings! Quick question that's completely off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My weblog looks weird when viewing from my iphone. I'm trying to find a theme or plugin that might be able to fix this issue. If you have any suggestions, please share. With thanks!

Hmm is anyone else having problems with the images on this blog loading? I'm trying to figure out if its a problem on my end or if it's the blog. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Good day! I know this is kinda off topic but I was wondering if you knew where I could get a captcha plugin for my comment form? I'm using the same blog platform as yours and I'm having trouble finding one? Thanks a lot!

Hello! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any issues with hackers? My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing many months of hard work due to no backup. Do you have any solutions to stop hackers?

Hello would you mind letting me know which hosting company you're using? I've loaded your blog in 3 completely different internet browsers and I must say this blog loads a lot faster then most. Can you suggest a good web hosting provider at a reasonable price? Kudos, I appreciate it!

Hi! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this website? I'm getting sick and tired of Wordpress because I've had issues with hackers and I'm looking at alternatives for another platform. I would be awesome if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

I am really enjoying the theme/design of your weblog. Do you ever run into any browser compatibility problems? A handful of my blog visitors have complained about my blog not operating correctly in Explorer but looks great in Safari. Do you have any suggestions to help fix this issue?

Incredible! This blog looks exactly like my old one! It's on a totally different subject but it has pretty much the same layout and design. Wonderful choice of colors!

I am curious to find out what blog system you have been working with? I'm having some small security problems with my latest blog and I would like to find something more safeguarded. Do you have any solutions?

I do like the way you have framed this particular difficulty and it does indeed provide me some fodder for thought. However, coming from everything that I have witnessed, I basically hope as the commentary pile on that men and women stay on issue and not start on a soap box associated with the news du jour. All the same, thank you for this outstanding point and whilst I can not really agree with the idea in totality, I respect your viewpoint.
