OMG, I love, just love, getting my mail too. I don't even get as many samples, feebies and postcards as I used to but getting the mail is still like Christmas.

Did you freak out the way I did when they were talking about cutting back delivery days when the economic crash first started? Isn't it bad enough we don't have it Sundays??!!?

No, I totally missed that! I so would have freaked if I had heard. I get mad that they don't deliver on bullshit holidays already. If I have to work Columbus Day than so can you, USPS!

Ultra temporary art stresses me out a little too. My impulse is to shellac it. It would be like the twisted cousin of vandalism. I would be preserving the art against the will of its creator.

I don't recognize the composition, but the style of your mystery artist is very Joan Miro. My guess is your chalk artist imitated a chunk of one of his paintings.

Agree on the Miro design. I can't find anything that's exactly alike, but it's so much alike it can't be a coincidence.

I had to laugh at the soup, I hope I didn't spray you :)

Wow, I've never heard of this artist (not saying much. I'm hardly an expert on culture). He's fabulous. Thanks for the answer!

BUNNY! What are you doing in there! The street is no place for stinky bunns!

So they DIDN'T include any Philosophy of Time Travel information in the movie itself, right? Cause that may have salvaged it a little bit, if they had.

Bunny's a BAD bunny. LOL

They did, and it's another topic of contention among the fans (those that haven't dismissed the movie outright as trash). For some reason, and inexplicably, Samantha is carrying Roberta Sparrow's book with her. People all say "maybe Donnie gave it to her," which begs the headache-inducing question of why it would still be around after Donnie had corrected the time rip.

The most annoying thing is how the screenwriter seems to have just scavenged bits and pieces from the original without getting us any closer to any answers about the original.

I'll join in with the Miro chorus, although it looks more like someone trying to copy Miro, rather than a copy of a Miro painting (something about the face seems a little, um, naive...). You can google a whole bunch of the pictures, but I recommend blue ii, which Roxana has done a beautiful version of at nursery (they've been doing Miro in her painting time). It's on the wall at her nursery, but I'll eventually rip it off, scan it and send you a copy.

Oh, and there's a rather famous poem about his work - you can see it at: http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-would-like-to-be-a-dot-in-a-painting-by-miro/

Stupid LJ doesn't realise who I am! Still, unless you have any other friends with daughters called Roxana, you won't need telling.

Thank God you mentioned Roxana. I was able to deduce that relatively quickly thanks to you giving her such a unique name. Score one for crazy parents who are desperate to make their child special!

Google image searched it. I like it! I like his use of blue period. So deep and peaceful. Why couldn't there be an exhibit of HIM at the Tate? (pouty)

Thank you for confirming my suspicion that I can avoid this. Have you heard the rumors about the re-doing of Buffy without any of the original cast or even Whedon being involved? The Horror!

I didn't say avoid it (unless you aren't as big a fan as I, in which case yes, totally). No I have not. I can't like that. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

(Also welcome back. I was beginning to truly worry)
