Green, Bronze, Meat,…

hmmmm…. where to start… I just realized it has been a week since my last post. Horrid. Time flies. If you ever thought that being all by yourself all day long without telephone and with limited email would feel like all the time in the world, think again. Time flies even on sabbatical. Anyway, not complaining Just noting. Was just thinking about time the other day. Our ancestors’ time was controlled by nature. Then, it was controlled by religion through ceremony and bells, and with the onset of the industrial age, time was controlled by machines. Being, that it takes about 100 years for a new scientific concept to sink in, and being that it has been about 100 years since the onset of quantum physics, maybe we will experience yet another step in the development of time in consciousness in the coming years.

Anyway… Just went to a local foundy the other day to drop off the first two sculptures I am hoping to cast in bronze (never did bronze before – mostly worked in steel). It was quite neat. If you have never seen a foundry, I would highly suggest that you check one out. Quite a process. Didn’t get to take pictures inside as it didn’t seem quite appropriate, but maybe when I will go back to pick up my sculptures… The picture to the right was taken outside the foundry – I just couldn’t resist…
Took some more pictures and am getting to love my new digital camera (Nikon Coolpix 4100). Amazing little machine. Lovely pictures and interesting filters, it even makes little movie recordings with sound and also takes voicenotes for pictures (which has been an interesting language learning tool). Read on to get to the meat…

Here are some more pictures for you that you can use as desktop backgrounds (if you click on them they will open in a larger version):

And if you are really sick, you might want to use the following as a desktop background:

Meat, Meat, Meat

Do have to say it was extremely delicious and filled me with a level of melancholy. The pork chops were from Jesus’ uncle, and the sausages were from his neighbor. Jesus knew those pigs. Not some anonymous feedlot creature, but now living cute little pigs – that tasted really yummy. The third was a pigeon. Never had pigeon before and have to say it was quite tasty. It’s red meat, I guess, which I did not know. Quite delicious. Still don’t think I would want to eat any city pigeons…

  The highest form of public relations is human relations. People buy from friends, so it's crucial to make the human bond before you can make a lasting business bond.
