Talkin' Shoppa with Mr Sloppa: Hunter 08
With the definition of art as "the arrangement of things in space" being the best I've ever heard, I stick to it. It's amazing how much ground that covers. In these lunar blogs I illustrate it best I can.
What's up and why do you care?
October 14, 2008 Buck fifteen past midnight of the full Hunter moon and hoping to finish this lunar update by two. What's to report on the waning and waxing? A few arrangements.
It starts with me arranging a pile of home-grown tomatillos, eight assorted roasted peppers, two roasted cloves of (home-grown) garlic, a small (also home-grown) onion "cooked" in fresh squeezed lemon juice, and a half-a-bunch-a cilantro into this year's smoky salsa-verde-inspired taco sauce...
...in the cozy Koppa kitchen. At the same time, I'm reminded that, with the dining room project almost done but not quite, I have the upstairs hall door downstairs waiting for sanding and painting...
...because I'm arranging some paint on Katrina's new old bike next to the dryer on a door with the word "rummage" painted on it.
A few days later, I put the carrots Vicki dug from the garden where I arranged some carrot seeds about three months ago in the sink to scrub them. The oxhearts aren't as long as I hoped, but they sure are chubby. I've been told they're good juicers. We'll see.
And after that I arragned more paint on the chainguard.
So there you have it, folks....
Art? What art? I didn't make no art! Why do you need to know all of this? Well, come on...let's face it...you don't. You're the fool wasting your time reading this when you could be doing something more productive. Now get to work! No, but seriously. This is just about the time that I have to answer myself when I start asking the real question, 'Why in the hell am I doing this?" And I've been thinking about it, and I've been getting down on myself thinking I must be some kind of egomaniac or something. But no way, baby. You can't keep me down. I can reason it better than that. It's all in the name of educating our youth. Or is it entertainment? Both? Neither? Doesn't matter anyway. I'm one of those Randian-style selfish folk, and guess what...I feel good.
