blog comments for AUSSIE LYNN / JACQUI BB / BAKOWSKI POETRY NEWS / INTELLIBLOG / BECKY / HEATHERBELLE and others

I can't leave comments on other people's blogs (see blog below for explanation). So I am going to record my comments in a blog and post it.

Hear are the comments I have made about other people's blogs over the last little while:

Aussie lynn downunder – silent for a moment – another beautiful, reflective moment from Lyn.

Creative Journey – no one said this would be easy – and another blog about the creative process! Jacqui, I love this painting too. Of course I love the gorgeous colours but in this particular painting the composition is a very pleasing thing for me. Thanks for writing about your process so articulately.

Bakowski Poetry News – what writing poetry requires – good blog on the creative process. My Mum had a uni lecturer who used to advise write it down then get it write as a way for getting past your fear of the blank page. I have always found this to be true. I kind of applied the same idea to my choreography too – tackling blank ‘space’ like a blank page.

Intelliblog – O tempora, o mores – well written (as always) Nicholas. I want to respond but I just can’t. I actually despair over the human race and wonder if the sooner we blow ourselves up the better. We are not good for much.

Sidetracked Charley – My day in Taos – treats are good in the face of legal doings. I approve.

My so called life – Babysitting – hope the little tacker gets better soon. How in god’s name do you get pancakes to look like the cast of squarepants bob or whatever he’s called?

Never on Sunday – Christmas is nothing to write home about… - Heather, I can understand your dilemma. I suppose it’s out of the question to take yourself off somewhere for a treat or some pampering? Book yourself into a restaurant for a special lunch? Buy yourself a really special bottle of wine and curate yourself a do it yourself film festival at home? New Year’s eve / day is always a fizzler for me. I would really like a nice special celebration to welcome in the new year with family but it never seems to happen (my family’s neediness spikes at this time of year and they can bleed the joy out of the most determined merry making). I have decided that this year SCREW IT! Family can look after themselves, I’m taking myself off for a decadent lunch (even if it is on a budget). Good luck!

Bwca – tyke tossing – jeez, b, so sorry to hear about the toilet flushing incident. Can well understand why this would be an emotive issue for you. Hope life has taken a steady turn for the better ever since.

Trying to be Ann O'Dyne – Bunker Hill is no battle – God what a glorious looking place. And I envy you being able to immerse yourself in cats for a while. House sitting?

Shouting at street lights – achingly sad – Yes, this is very sad but very, very romantic too. Actually writing a passionate letter and then throwing it into the sea is a good way to put the seal on something in your own mind, yes? It's interesting that she included a lock of hair too. As well as the romantic overtones it suggests a little pagan sacrifice to me as well.

Bee's blog – witches chant from macbeth – when I was a little kid (in primary school) I learnt this off by heart (have forgotten it now). I just loved the spooky words and I so badly wanted to be a witch when I was small.
