No, this is not a post on the difference between good and evil, although I of course am obviously good and everything that opposes me is therefor clearly evil, this is a post about the difference between brilliant art and art that is anything else.

After that, I sort of fell asleep again… Four hours later I woke up again, just before four [...]

So, I’ll tell you a little about my new pumpkin… My pumpkin and I spent a couple of hours together in the kitchen. If it hadn’t have been for this very special pumpkin, I wouldn’t even have been in the kitchen, I wouldn’t have been making this brilliant soup I’m now eating/drinking/souping (really, I think [...]

Now I understand that these can coincidently be placed on the same day (funny how that happens with news), but I don’t expect [...]
