I haven't been eating well. Indeed.
I am transparent. Creepy. (This avatar of mine was only supposed to last for a week. I think it depicts some sort of Bunnicula.)

When here/now interactions draw their truths from the past or future seems to me the only way. (I just wrote the vampire one this afternoon, but I was thinking about you last night: Jetee, I challenge: Why fiction's entertainment needs some suspension?)

I can only extract my own interpreted meaning from what any one ever contemplates, (re: writes) so, I'll postulate on your previous ponderance in that fiction, does need some multiple forms of suspension, though what comes to mind are the primary two: suspension / enveloping dis-/belief is the first, for it requires thought and at times, provoked imagination; the second I have in mind is the suspensed flow / sense of the unfolding story, as it involves the reader and audience to work out preconceived notions, & allows converging, divergent, filler & "catching-up" for those who are invested, and in the end, when asked "how was it?", it's not an instantaneous response. I'd not say half, but a good chunk of whatever it is we call "art" involves individual interpretation into what makes it special.

Can I double-post? We should keep up this (you)-/pong, but we have shed so many personalities over the seasons, I don't even believe we have enough to make up an imagined fist, (re: five) so we can sock it to the combined scourges of those WAs.
Disregarding the above saddened hypothetical of how we are now less than half-a-dozen, (were we ever above a carton at one time, I wonder?) here is my next post, to be issued in the Paper as Art program: Papertoy Monsters, Meet Zombunny Likes: moldy lettuce and assorted...

I've lost my train of written individual exposition.
I don't know. This wasn't in my TLTE! queue, but I wholly recommend it. -- (to note: additionally, you may find it fun, to submit, your own.)

so long as your pre-produced plastic phrasings do not include curses, I do not believe I'd, outrightly, not like it.

I am (still) so hungry.
(unrelated note: I think the Diablo Cody's mock-fanservice!-film, Jennifer's Body, fits the criterion of a movie that is "so bad it's good". I get the references, or at least most of them, and while I'd rather not watch it again, it was probably a very funny film that I sat thru only an hour of it. Maybe this was intentional? It's hard to say.) on a related note: I like Toast'Ems, too.

Preferring Toaster Strudel,
I'll eat anything that's handier than is cooking something up. Preparation's fun, don't get me wrong, I'm asking, but pre-prepared's there!

At this stage in my life, I'm inclined to agree.
And to add: even when I do cook, after clean-up, shut off, plating and washing, my food is not much warmer than it was from whence I started. I need to clean up before I eat, but I want to just taste something hot once in a while. (my laser-eye beams no longer work.)

Frequently I clean up as I'm cooking...leaving only my plate/s and utensils for a one minute clean-up.
The local market had quart baskets of strawberries on a deal so I got a couple. Nice berries but not sweet enough for my taste today so I sprinkled them with sugar, let them sit a couple hours, and devoured them a few minutes ago: |

I'm not going to stand for it. This stays (near) on top.
Oh! Heya BadNick: remember that Newton illustration/mural you once posted? I followed up on it, and on the same day, found this one artist that creates similar personascapes.

I really would like to reply to you all at this time, but this thread, or turn-a-topic, has grown stale.

It's three-and-a-half of us, against the world.

Why are we seeking to garner more and more pageviews, and seemingly simple, new conversational threads if these are the only types of members that we can attract?

It's hard being an idealist, grounded in the fact that reality sucks, and time skips.
(And I haven't even finished my 'believe' project, nor I have I completed my calendar, and I'm not even sure to look to find that very elusive memory of very faint Founding Fathers Quote. Is it Voltaire? Oh oh oh...)
