My Favorite Artist

To answer the question, You-Know-Who: My favorite artist would be the late and great Keith Haring with Henri Matisse coming in a very close second. Although I'm a fan of many others as well, those two would be at the top of my list. Since nobody's reading so much these days anyway I figured I might as well just answer that one right here instead. Usually not big on the pop art thing, I never even cared much for Warhol's stuff. Haring obviously is the exception.

  1. Thank you. Died too young from the AIDS back in the day, I wish he'd hung around somewhat longer. Thanks, Diane.

  2. I just looked his stuff up, it's very interesting. I like the sappy artists like Thomas Kincaid.

  3. Hey, Rain! No surprise that Kincaid is on your list, I guess. Personally, I'm not a huge fan. But ... you know I like the sap as much as anyone, and even though I chose Haring as my overall favorite, and Matisse runner up, I LOVE LOVE Andrew Wyeth and figure you probably might, too, eh? Particularly the Master Bedroom painting. I actually bought a print of that one a few years ago on eBay. Probably my favorite painting ever.

  4. I LOVE his art too. Learned of him when working for Flax Art & Design. Mattisse too. They had lots of goodies by several artists...but of course...It was Flax "Art and Design." (duh) :)

I Think

I think I'm bored blogging. I think I'm done with it. I think what's the point? I think you should check out my blogroll instead. I think they say stuff better anyway.

Betty White "needs to start taking her relationship with God serious." Seriously?

I was one of those grassroots Facebook campaigners responsible for Betty White hosting Saturday Night Live the other night, so for that, let me just say: "You're very welcome!" I thought she was fantastic, better even than I had expected she might be, and by most accounts her coming on the show was a huge success. Except for some, who apparently had more eternal concerns weighing on their minds, precluding enjoying it so much. Like Jose, who while conceding that Betty White is legend "in this day and age of rebels and rockers" (I really don't know what that means, but it seems to be a good thing), is more concerned about her afterlife appearance instead, presumably being so old as she is. A legend, sure ... "However, I think Betty really needs to start taking her relationship with God serious. Betty can't please this new generation, she has nothing to prove to them. Her relationship with the Lord is what she needs to take serious." Well, all...

Why's There Even You and Me? A Personal Diversion

Obama still ba-rocks and McCain still, um ... is a dick. Okay. That's the extent of my political rumination today. Although I may be totally off on both counts, I wouldn't know. I honestly paid zero attention to realpolitik today so I have no clue what might have happened really. I have other more personal and most disconcerting things on my mind. I'm kind of creeped out. I have a stalker ... don't laugh. I really do. I think his name is Mike but I'm not even sure about that. He was probably lying when I asked, whatever the hell it was he said, but that's what I think I remember. I was drunk at the time. Admittedly my fault. I'm an idiot sometimes, no new tale to tell there. I don't recall exactly how I met the guy in the first place - it was a couple of years ago - but I do know that I willingly gave up my address. With directions, no less. Just in case. Damn the hooch. What was I thinking? Anyway, so here's the deal. I had him over a time or two ea...
