A decorated ram's head over an exterior art installation at a Paris gallery.
For the past two days I've been moving furniture; shifting things from room to room or to the cave (wine cellar); giving things away. A few days ago, I suddenly realised my "studio/guest room" wasn't my style at all. In fact, it looked like someone else's art space. So I set about changing it to a more user-friendly area; it's still a work in progress. Photos soon.
Meanwhile, there may be hope for Polaroid lovers seeking instant film.
Isn't it interesting to watch the Republicans have a go at President Obama's new Supreme Court nominee, Sonia Sotamayor? So predictable, these people.
Joan Walsh has an excellent article here; Glenn Greenwald applauds Obama's choice, while lamenting the Republican smear tactics here. Greenwald also writes that the right-wing reaction to Sotomayor says more about her critics than it does about her qualifications. Hear, hear!
Skullduggery among poets is the talk of Britain.
And an ex-Guantanamo detainee tries to adjust to life in Paris.
how wonderful it is
to see and hear and dicover new worlds within
and to live to tell the tales
about the life you have had
how wonderful it is
to taste and touch and visit new emotions
and to live to inspire the tales
about the life you once had

You've been seriously busy! I need to tackle my guest room too... but right now it has piles of things to sort, distribute and/or pack!!!

On another note, these photos rock.

I am somewhat appeased by this choice, however, I would have hoped for a braver choice. I would have hoped, also, for someone who does not appear hesitant to state her views on choice or specify her views on race. I realize congress is ready to fight Obama on everything. However, there are real arguments to be made for choosing someone who comes forward strongly against fear and in favor of real change. Compliance is not change, not in this climate.

I love this installation! As to Sotomayor they will try to smear her name as much as they can.

Hi Tara,
Sonya Sotomayor is an excellent choice, don't you think. I had to practice saying her name.
Happy to hear about your redu. Change on the outside can sometime express change on the inside, don't you think? I'm still in the land of the re~du!

Good luck with the rearranging! After I read this earlier, I went to look at my cluttered living room. I still can't figure out how to de-clutter. Thanks for visiting me at Delights of the Heart.

oh, i saw the english poet thing on BBC today. i'm always (perhaps sadly) amused by such stories. and how could she dis a nobel prize winner? that took cheek.

My husband has had his fingers crossed, for Sonya Sotomayor. And honestly, so have I. I will head to go read these articles.
I can't wait to see the photos you share of your space. The cave? lmao ; )

Looking forward to seeing what you do with your space :)
And as for poets in Britain ... how bad was that! I couldn't believe it when I read of it the other day.
Off to read of the ex-Guantanamo detainee.
Hope all is good in your world xx

Love Joan Walsh! I blog at OS and read her all the time. I am very much looking forward to hearing more from Sotomayor. I think she is going to surprise us. I am hoping Obama gets another pick soon. btw.. That is some crazy art!

Oooh, I love the thought of being able to continue taking Polaroid's. They are classics. Thanks for the tip. Good luck with your room. Isn't it fun once you start? It's the starting that's so hard! Ick, some things never change (R). :-P
