Laughs

Diversions In WInter

Here is a bit of true silliness to take our minds off of the goings on of the world: Pop away!

And, here is another part of the site in which you can punch out politicians, celebrities and “wankers.” (The site is in the UK.) This is what I did to George Bush…

Ahhhh…. That feels better…

Good Old Age

Oh, I had a good laugh today! I found Margaret and Helen through More Coffee Please. When I’m 83 years old I hope I’m writing posts like this! Oooo, I love the internet.

Awww…

With all the bad economic news, the war in Afghanistan, satellites crashing over Siberia, etc., I might think the world was coming to an end if it wasn’t for something like this:

As it says in the article, it is extremely rare to get so close to a Koala. She was just sooo spent. Poor thing. But, now, she has a boyfriend! The story is here. And, here is the video..

 

And, it is not Winter in Australia.

Something Cheery(er)

Ooohhh, the thought of making my own fresh butter, with colourful (summer-y) spices or vegetables, just seems so comforting in this big deep freeze of a winter.

The Dutch Girl writes of homemade butter: “The flavor is so light, delicate and fresh (so unlike anything store bought) I promise you’ll be hooked after just one bite.” “Light” is a word I can use right now! Winter feels so dark and heavy this year. 

Apparently, the recipe is very easy—mostly just heavy cream and a food processor. Yum! Toast me some sourdough, pleeeeeeze…

Rocky(s)

Because I needed a smile today and it’s not winter at the storm drain. There are more Rockys here.

Art In Winter

OK. I have a Fine Arts degree. And, I am keeping mum with regards to these two pieces. I suppose one of my category choices might give me away.

Natalia Kurnikova, owner of a Moscow art gallery, looks at an oil painting by Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin. She paid $1.37 million Cdn for the painting at a charity auction in St. Petersburg. (Dmitry Lovetsky/Associated Press)

Then, we have “Cloaca” visiting in Montreal. “Cloaca” comes to us from Belgian artist Wim Delvoye and “is a reflection on human identity and the creative process, according to its creator…” “Cloaca” is a sculpture that farts and poops. It’s presence in Montreal is pushing some Canadian buttons as to why the Canadian government is spending tax dollars on ____. This after Steven Harper declared, back in September, that “Ordinary folks don’t care about the arts” which was followed by a pretty big uproar across the country to the contrary. I’d say “Cloaca’s” timing isn’t the greatest.

 

Those Russian ladies are really pretty though.
