'it goes ding when there's stuff'

[brokenblossom]

Given that I've been having an extended brainwrong of late, it probably wasn't very helpful that this evening's Doctor Who scared me silly for forty odd minutes, then concluded by telling me that all my local statuary was out to get me. Especially since I'm genuinely so fond of so much of the public sculpture around and about these parts. As a

Don't be sad. You have never been a nothing, not to me.

I can't help it, sometimes. But nice words like these from nice folks like youse help, so ta for that xxx

It was a tad scary wasn't it. Scared me witless - and it's not really often that I can say that about Doctor Who. Good episode.

And remember, whatever you do, don't blink...

[brokenblossom]

Indeed it was! I can't remember being scared by Doctor Who before, actually, but this episode made me very nervy and jumpy...

Maybe it was partly because, as a child, I was convinced that my toys came to life and started having fun and carousing together as soon as I shut the door on them, and I was forever suddenly opening the door on them again, in the hope I'd catch 'em out, and catch 'em at play! And this episode was a sort of malign reversal of that idea...

[brokenblossom]

I'll try to - I'm terrible at e-mail these days but I've missed you too, very much so. Btw, I actually bought the NME last week, for the first time in several years, cos I'd heard about the free 7" via yr journal :-) The idea of picking up a 7" in the Co-Op tickled me rather, so I popped in to do just that after my dental appointment last Wednesday...

No worries. Just glad to hear from you :)

Aw, sorry you're sad, and I hope you managed to get a good nights sleep in curled up with Bran.

In other words, it's not gitting fair that I can gulp and glory and marvel at the artworks of others, in very real if not ful appreciation, and yet be unable to sketch something even definitely male or female herself.

I do understand this; however, there's no rule saying that you're barred from appreciating or criticising artwork simply due to your lack of artistic ability. And in fact, I would argue that you have more artistic ability than you give yourself credit for.

Thank ye :-) I managed some sleep, though not tucked up with Bran - in the lovely weather (and with our Edna-shaped guest making mischief inside the house at the moment) he's mostly either romping around outside these days, or looking wounded and yowling plaintively because he's discovered I've locked him in for the night thus preventing said romping adventures. With some spells of lying stretched, flat out, on the settee in between...

Oh, it's all very frustrating for me, arty type stuff, not least the fact that in recent years I've given up all too easily when having a go at something, in sheer disappointment and embarrassment at how different what emerges is from what I'd been seeing in my head...

Sending thoughts of hugs your way, and thanks for the book you sent, along with the lovely note. I tried to find an email address for you so I could thank you, but to no avail. So thanks, again, and I do hope things start looking up for you. xxx

[brokenblossom]

Aww, thanks M :-) I'm glad the package got to you! Yes, I do remember seeing a request for an e-mail address via an LJ comment in my inbox some time ago, but clearly I didn't get as far as doing anything about it - oops. The past few months have been pretty tumultuous, but I shouldn't use that as an excuse for my having been slack (in this, and in other cases). For future reference, anyway, I'm e-mailably available via cerijackson AT gmail DOT com, with the necessary substitutions of punctuation as and where you'd imagine! xxx
