It's kind of a big deal

Did I mention I am now a Lord of Sealand? Well, I am.

What can I say, I feel very honoured--even though I had to pay for the title.

You'd think I were a bear from the way I talk

The great synapse we colloquially refer to as "Christmas break" here in Canada lies between this and my last post.

I had a tremendously good break full of sleep, waking relaxation, and digestion. Hopefully you did as well. I have no profound Adopt A Beard-related news to share; my days have been passing pleasantly like the slow, sure trickle of a creek remembered for its deafening silence. Thoughts are loud, and my words come as if from behind a curtain of ice.

In other words, I am content to say and do nothing until Spring returns and the rest of the earth awakens. I, too, hibernate.

Fortunately not all creatures do; some are productive, and one even managed to write a compelling anonymous poem for others to read. Golden.

And now, for no particular reason, I'd like to share a random poem I found today. It is by a Japanese poet, Yosa Buson. Here it is:

At the over-matured sushi,
The Master
Is full of regret.
Pressing Sushi;
After a while,
A lonely feeling
A whale!
Down it goes, and more and more
up goes its tail!

A pre-nap post.

By "nap" I mean hibernation... time to gather up fruits and nuts, because Winter is well on its way. Maybe soon I will have time to appreciate the out-of-doors rather than be forced to read books and write essays about it instead.

Now for some news:

Salivate over Ronald D. Isom's new drawing (it's "newpics_010")!
Check out "Clouded" by Cadence Ann Nepote!

And now for a pre-hibernation snack.

Until next time...

Behold! Bruised apples in a bucket.

I do not like apples when they are post-prime and pre-applesauce.

But everyone likes Paul Ginz, n'est-ce pas?

Here's a little golden delicious poem he served up for us:

Slow Burning Appointment

Also, let us warmly welcome Cadence Ann Nepote, who's graced us with this little ditty here. Perhaps ditty was the wrong word. Regardless, may you enjoy it as much as I did!

Happy October 12th!

That's right, a hovercraft

Looks like we have another submission from our prolific friend, A. Nonymous. Let us marvel at the splendor of his or her new composition: junkpt7.

After you are done soaking that in, might I encourage you to traipse along to this site, where you can learn how to build your very own hovercraft? Simply amazing. I plan to build one today or tomorrow.

Heck yes.
