Presumably because they're still paying for food. Or transport. Or something. And they'd find out. Somehow. And cut some of that off. Because You Didn't Listen and As Long As I'm Putting A House Over Your Head, You Follow My Rules. Or Else. Or something. Maybe it's not that pseudo-malicious, I'unno.

Weird kinda' FYI, but roadkill is, uh... actually a good sign. Not for that particular animal, but definitely for the local population; more dead animals on the side of the road mean even more hiding in the bushes or whatever, usually. At least that's what the guy whose job it was to collect and count roadkill told m'madre. Sad to see 'em squished, but good to know the population's healthy.

That said, I'd swerve to nail a rattler or moccasin. Not fond of the poisonous breeds. Fine with constrictors. Too much long grass in this joint, enough pets killed by snakebite. Bit of a grudge. Watching a kitten slowly die to neurotoxin is fucking depressing. Bleh.

... hopefully it's not the sky that's burning.

Though it could be some lighter than air gasses or... something. Don't occasional, wuzzat word, extrusions or summat? Ignite and stay burning for a while? Something something coal gas burning for weeks. I'unno, just woke up and chemistry's n'exactly m'strong point.

Damn straight. Skin of smiling dwarf faces or at signs (@), infinitely repeated. Maybe fractalizing downward or something.

Grandparents went to chocolate thing (fundraising something or other), came back with four chocolate cakes. Three of which I'm sure doesn't have coconut in it (meaning I can consume it, ahahehehehee) and one that probably does, though I'll have to cut out a bit to make sure. Also at least two things of tupulo honey (best honey!) and a dozen or so jars of varying preserves and miscellaneous.

Sugar and honey. The house is now a house of sugar and honey. It's so, so very hard, to keep myself from going on a sugar and chocolate gorging session. But I resist. I resist. There will be time, later. Over days. Days of sugar and chocolate and honey. Aiieeeeeeheheheheeee.

That and football. Two of the bigger "sports" down here just happen to involve lots of sweaty men molesting each other... violently.

It makes you wonder.

And when it produces neat looking stuff that you enjoy? Ignore that, too?

There's not a single standard of art, dude(tte). Folks have been arguing about aesthetics since the BCs for a reason.

Anyway. Only thing I care about when it comes to art is if I like looking at it. Effort expended and context I care zero about, especially the former. If a skill-less non-artist can produce something awesome looking with zippo effort, more power to 'em.

I like zen tangles. I make things that look remarkably like zen tangles by doodling all over the notes I take about various things. It's art in a very oblique way, but it definitely fails the skill/effort and context heuristics.

And that's just me. Someone else can happily be different in what they consider and appreciate as art. No good reason to try to crap over someone else's preferences.

E: The buggery is this nonsense doing in the happy thread, anyway? Can we take the art spat to its own thread?
