Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

thankful indeed! for waking up this morning for water still flowing from the taps for remembering how to follow a recipe even if it does require every bowl & pan I own for every bowl & pan I own for laughter & music for studio 8, its lovely proprietress, its creative space, and its gracious inhabita...

body language!

Love the metaphors, esp. the hawk zeroing in on a woodchuck - so country, so true! And those grocery store encyclopedias.... still have most of a set of classical LPs bought one at a time from the A&P (or was it Grand Union?).... Didn't have an Uncle Crawford - but a local handyman called Junior Sta...

I've seen it called "deprogramming"

To all participants of this thread, esp. Doreen: I assumed (and we all know how to spell that) that Kelly was Trump's press secretary, hired to speak on his behalf. It seems my inattention to details has led me to misspeak. Doreen, that's on me, not you - no need to apologize if I'm the one full of ...

Well, you know, I agree with most everything said in this thread, but I'm also concerned by how many people sat out the '24 election. We all need to make sure to get out and vote against this excrement. Especially women! Where is the collective outrage? The backlash? I mean, Roe was overturned more...

Ms Kelly WAS a talk show host. (Which does not make her a pundit - just a glib pretty face.) What she IS, is the mouthpiece for the President of the United States. She does what she is told, and she says what she's directed to say. She's just another disposable component of the current regime. When ...

Chronic liars have to be good actors in order to be effective. And Trump only hires the best, as he's often assured us. It's probably a prerequisite for working for him. No, I did not actually hear the statement. I'm trying to kick my Outrage Porn habit and prefer not to give that asshole or his syc...

make no bones about it......

I don't think she actually believes that - I think she's just playing the good soldier, following the orders of Der Fuhrer, like the guards at Dachau & Buchenwald. Der Fuhrer says to gas them, we shall gas them. Whatever personal beliefs she may have are secondary to keeping His hands clean. Somehow...

no hearing aid (yet) but.. went exploring yesterday cold, a bit breezy - just enough to make my eyes water constantly... usually leave my glasses behind on winter walks easier to wipe my eyes one-handed... this time had to juggle gloves, glasses, & camera... but I got to stand in places I've never s...

looks like a lovely place to wake up to, esp. the riverside campsite. And a beautiful place to walk... to feel the mojo...

Woke up to SNOW yesterday morning! Just a dusting, but enough to require brushing off my car, and to make the steeper downhill stretches of Ridge Trail a bit treacherous....

what matters to one needn't matter to all - does it matter that I like a splash of hot sauce with my poached egg? does to me... does it matter that I can't abide autotune? does to me... does it matter that I'm learning mathematics I was never taught in school? does to me... does it matter what messa...

  the days grow short, the nights long and cold - the moon climbs higher in the sky than the sun... another winter is on the way - time to saddle up. the storm windows have been lowered, the furnace air filter replaced... the snow shovel in the hall closet now sits by the door, gloves and cleats dug...

    trumpsters have been with us for a long long time... even the Bard spoke of them - as in Timon of Athens -    "He that loves to be flattered is worthy o' th' flatterer"... or in Antony & Cleopatra -    "I will praise any man that will praise me"... or in As You Like It -    "The fool doth think ...
