What could possibly go wrong?

krappyrubsnif · March 2013

I could kiss everybody! I'm in a really good mood. I've just finished twelve weeks of teaching and the students seem very happy. Tonight I am going to cook beetoot tarte tatin and halibut steak with fresh veg for supper. Then I'll pop into the local for a pint and finish the crossword before listening to my Small Faces Ultimate CD collection and get an early night. Tomorrow I'll browse some Italian homework over a lazy breakfast cappucino and spend an hour in the British Museum before wandering to my favourite London real ale pub for a sausage roll and a pint, then get a Boris Bike up to the gym and relax in the sauna for the afternoon. On Sunday I'll visit the farmer's market and take a long walk before lunch, spend a few hours in the Lichtenstein show at the Tate Gallery, then wander home, switch on the TV and uncork a bottle of fine Italian red wine. And I'll do the last of the marking on Monday. <br><br>What could possibly go wrong? <br>

that mention of marking came just in time to stop me biting my laptop in half in envy. Marking is what can go wrong; when you realise that however lovely the students were, what was happening in the classroom was not quite as you imagined, after all, and however often you count the remaining ones the pile only goes down one at a time ... <div>Otherwise it does sound a good plan, though!</div>

The Lichtenstein show is great btw. It's amazing to see iconic artworks that we are so used to seeing in posters in canvas form. Love those Banday dots.

<span style="font-style: normal;">Dreadful fraud, badly photocopying work by real artists (who don't count, because they only work in </span><i>comics</i>), whacking his name on it, and making far more than the originals. The readymade gag is fine for Duchamp or Warhol, but if the 'readymade' item you're appropriating is made by someone whose job title is already ARTIST, then what angle are you adding?

Beetroot tarte tatin?

it worked! It was that Guardian supplement, wasn't it. I read through it going 'but why would you do that with beetroot?' - and I like beetroot - but actually that looks surprisingly good ...<div><br></div>

Yes it was delicious. Sadly I belong to an alternative universe in which when it says 'link to this photograph' on either Flickr or Picasa, it never works. So my photograph of beetroot tarte tatin will forever remain unshared. I assure you, it was good, and I am not letting this minor technical hitch spoil my weekend. *Stretches legs by blazing fire, takes sip of Chianti '06, and reaches for TV control*.<br>

Howdy, Stranger!
