Just wanted to test the blog interface so I thought I'd post an image of a bracelet I made a while back.

In the previous episode, Rhoda Crwys cracks the bullshit code. Next, Wolfcastle comes to, while far away an over-the-hill clairvoyant named Madame Pom de Terre... Hey! Where the hell did she come from?
The Cardiff Grandma Chapter 47

‘I’ve always had a fear of being buried alive.’
‘Mmm, Taphephobia…do go on…’

‘That and being wrongly convicted of a crime I didn’t commit.’
‘Yes. Of course! How could you be wrongly convicted of a crime you did commit? I think you should be clear about just how unlikely such a situation is. I mean I don’t actually know of any legal system which imposes living burial as a sentence for any crime.’ ’

I like blueberries. I read in a magazine a long time ago that the reason that Boo-Berry cereal didn't sell well was because humans are instinctually afraid of eating blue objects. Evidently blue objects found in nature are always poisonous with the exception of the blueberry. When I eat blueberries it terrifies me to the soul and thus they are delicious.

When I had the idea for this community, I was envisioning the great pleasure of connecting my friends. Somehow I hadn't realized that I'd be in line for a great personal benefit as well: meeting my friends' friends, not to mention their friends too! AMP's very young, existing in its fledgling website phase for only a few short months, and already I've begun meeting fellow AMP Members that I had never met before. suebird13 is so cool! I just met Sue on Monday, as she was visiting LA from Massachusetts and wanted to say hello. What a lovely and talented person! Meeting Becky in Amsterdam and roxy in Berlin was great too! I knew this could be good, but I had had no idea of the variety of ways in which we could all help each other. I'm going to try to get out to one of James Hurley's shows, Laurie Notch might visit Los Angeles soon, and baldeep might be here from India in July. More to come, I'm sure. If you're in Los Angeles (or even if you're not), drop me a line by visiting my profile, clicking on "contact" at the top of the profile, and sending me an email - I'd love to hear from you.

The Cardiff Grandma Chapter 46
Rhoda’s true love was that of suburban myths. What had begun as an area of expanded focus for her thesis had in truth become the limelight. Context-free inter-employability in atypical social groups and disadvantaged communities, she felt, was inextirpably rooted in what those social groups and communities believed. This had led to a revised taxonomisation of ‘belief’ itself and its semantic relation to credence, faith, delusion, and superstition. And how did these control the categorisation of such constructs as truth, fact, history, legend, myth, anecdote, rumor, old-wives tales and no comment? Not to mention the recent trailblazing research in the U.S. into the field of ‘bullshit’, or bollocks (see footnote) .

Previously- Who is the strange Anser Damiou, and why doesn't he say much? Meanwhile a priceless vase is needlessly broken whilst, never one to miss an opportunity to pass out, Wolfcastle indulges in a fit of fainting. Now read on..

The Cardiff Grandma Chapter 45
Down and down and down they went, further under the ground, below the oddly named abode that was 21.57. The spiral staircase seemed to drill into the ground beneath them as they descended.

I need an artist to create very substantial stands for a dancer to put their full body weight on them. It needs to have hand holds at the top of each stand. It should be almost impossible to tip them over. Ideally, it would be screwed into to stage somehow. Write back and we'll talk more about the specifics.

Go to XYandZ.org to see the work of my aerial dance company for more specifics....

Thank you!

Let's collaborate.
