Anti-aging fruits & vegetables!
09.28.05 (8:49 pm)   [edit]

My blog has had over 1,500 views -  yet I've only had 3 comments!  Hey, I want to know what you're thinking after reading my posts.  It'll encourage me to blog more often.


I've been home, sick, for over a week, trying not to infect anybody else.  It's just a cold & a cough, & I'm over the miserable part, thank goodness.


I watched two Nicole Kidman DVDs today:  The Interpreter & Birth.  Birth left me with questions:  was he or wasn't he?  The Interpreter was better than its reviews.


Through research recently I've discovered that broccoli is anti aging!  So, we had broccoli in our stew last night; & broccoli in our tuna mornay tonight!


broccoli:  anti aging!

Backyard creativity
09.20.05 (8:23 pm)   [edit]

Crows have been busy creating a nest in a tree in my backyard.


Here's a photo of it, taken from underneath the tree, showing the delightful leafy surrounds.


 
A new (delicious) discovery!
09.16.05 (9:40 pm)   [edit]

I've made a new discovery tonight:  del.icio.us! 


It's a way of recording your favourites (bookmarks), a way of interacting.


I haven't added any favourite links (bookmarks) yet, but when I do, they'll be here.


You can see other's favourite links (bookmarks) regarding the subjects you're interested in, for example:  http://del.icio.us/tag/art" title="http://del.icio.us/tag/art" target="_blank"http://del.icio.us/tag/art+graphics+design+blog

How to be creative! (the Hugh MacLeod way)
09.15.05 (1:53 pm)   [edit]

So you want to be more creative, in art, in business, whatever?  


Here are 30 tips that have worked for Hugh MacLeod over the years,  click:  gaping void - & enjoy his sometimes funny, most times risque (you've been warned) cartoons-on-business-card s!

Australian Casting Agent & Acting Links
09.13.05 (8:49 pm)   [edit]
When I have some spare time, I like to research anything which has captured my interest. This time I researched after receiving an enquiry about acting classes & casting agencies in the central Queensland area of Australia. Here is the result:

Free table cell backgrounds!

Apart from painting, another of my hobbies is graphic design.


Here are two cell backgrounds, suitable to use for table cell backgrounds. 


Save me to your own hard drive!

You can use them for free, but save them to your own hard drive first, by right clicking on them, & clicking "save as" etc.


Enjoy!

 
New Orleans
09.03.05 (8:44 pm)   [edit]

There was something special about New Orleans, the mystique, jazz, balconies, cosy streets, the French influence, the history - & I felt it even though I've never been there.


image source:  worldclips-stock-footage


I cannot understand why the entire population did not evacuate when they were advised to.  Didn't they know that evacuation had been ordered?  Did they have no means of transport?  Did they believe that the city would not be flooded?  Could they not leave their material possessions behind?


I am astounded at the number of people who did not leave.  I am horrified by what they have suffered.  How can that happen in America?  Why couldn't rescue, or at least food, water, & medical supply drops, happen sooner?


This week's EBSQ Art's "Art of the Day" Theme is New Orleans.


If you'd like to see New Orleans as it was put "New Orleans" into a Google search box (don't forget the quotation marks), click "search", then when the results arrive, click "images".
