Toopine's blog

8.29.09 An Ove first:

DRUNK PUNCH

An insult made Fred a bit snappy.
He treated the jerk to a nappy.
"I'm sorry I threw it.
His chin didn't do it,
And one throbbing hand isn't happy."

My friend Jack S. reports from his blog: "Tonight's the night. 1:30 am and I;m down. I struggle for an hour and I can't grt up. I wake Ei and we struggle for an hour I can't get up. Now I'm so tired i couldn't get up no matter what."

Congrats to brother Gary:

8.23.09 From the head of Ove:

Time is deceptively clever.
We COULD say tomorrow is NEVER,
But we keep it in mind
That the clock won't unwind.
All is now, the forever endeavor.

8.22.09 Too much like work at the offices so didn't manage to get anything online. Here's what I saw up there:

8.13.09 From the sunny land of California an O. V. Michealsen:

I feel really bad about Fred.
A doctor could fix his poor head
(Dumb and bald with a mullet--
Some called it a bullet),
Replacing the hair that he shed.

8.12.09 New! Seven Tables is first in a new series of photos.

News: Mark Elliot, the most innocent person you'll ever meet, is facing these charges in Philadelphia next week. Mental illness is not allowed in our system anymore and not completley sane people end up in prisons instead. They've (insanely) closed the medical mental asylums.

8.11.09 Managing a day in the studio despite a hurricane of pain and problems blowing all around. It never stops so this must be the new 'normal'. Gotta reef in the sails and just go. Two in progress:

8.9.09 Making sure Toopine stays on the cutting edge of technology Zeepo got us this state-of-the-art computer, a Macintosh Classic II (pass the floppy disks):

8.8.09 Phlox phanatics:

8.7.09 is today. The birds plant a lot of things in the garden. It's a partenership actually. If only they would do a little more of the weeding. The deer are good weeders- they eat everything.

8.6.09 Waxing nostalgic today. thinking about the way memory changes over time, evolves into sweetness. It becomes memory of memories and slowly boils off the worst parts.

See, O know:

PERSISTENCE OF FORGETFULNESS

This dog gone amnesia of mine.
Have I already written this line?
Well, whatever I said,
It was out of my head
After lunch while preparing to dine.

8.4.09 Noopine today.

8.3.09 Need a little Ove Michealsen this morning:

"There's nothing new under the sun"
Had been said, as had "thy will be done."
There isn't a lot of
What hasn't been thought of,
Outdrawn by an earlier gun.

8.2.09 Thinking about an old buddy, Jack, who went through the really crazy days with us. He could use some good vibes from the universe right now.
