The first substantial life of the French surrealist writer and artist to appear in English since 1970.
You might not have known that Jean Cocteau (1889-1963) was an angst-y, tormented artist to look at him: he "always tried to put himself forward as happy and detached," writes French biographer Arnaud (Chamfort: A Biography, 1992), and he had a happy childhood without much drama. Still, as Arnaud remarks, Cocteau wrestled for a long time with his homosexuality, a preference for men that "remained more acted than lived," no small thing in a time when the law still weighed heavily against same-sex relationships. Arnaud accomplishes several things in this overstuffed life of the writer, artist, and filmmaker. He does much, for example, to correct the emphasis on Cocteau as eccentric artist—he was, after all, a shining light of Dadaism—that comes "to the detriment of the creator." Focusing closely on Cocteau's works, Arnaud ventures that he was often at his best as a collaborator, whether encouraging Marcel Proust during the long years of his writing Recherche, even if Proust may have thought of him as "a piece of furniture," or concocting strange experiments with Pablo Picasso. In the end, Arnaud provides a portrait of a committed, seasoned artist who was, in Ezra Pound's phrase, a vortex of energy, constantly at work, writing "on invitations, record jackets, cigarette boxes, theater programs, book covers." If Cocteau was not well-understood in his own time, and often savaged critically, he is unjustly overlooked today. Although, for instance, he was long considered one of the trio of "uncle Jeans" of French film, the others being Renoir and Epstein, many students know him only for Orphée (1950), and although his literary production was steady, he remains known today mostly for his middle-period novel Les Enfants Terribles (1929). Concludes Arnaud, a touch hopefully, "we haven't yet finished with Cocteau."
Arnaud's biography provides a useful corrective and will inspire renewed interest in Cocteau's work.

You know it's not going to be a good day when you wake up to your husband yelling "shit, shit, shit.....shitshitshitshit...shit!" from the bathroom.
Toilet overflowed and he didn't realize it...water all over the floor...he's running late...I leave to grab some junk towels and discover the water has traveled and is now pouring down from the lights in the kitchen. Awesome. Nasty toilet water is all over my bathroom and now my kitchen floor. I would like to start this day over.

Dear Readers, I have a new link to share with you! It seems Psycho Stalker Kathryn's attack and delete method hasn't worked for her. The evidence is still on the internet! I guess she thought she could do all her horrid deeds and be exempt from them! HA! What a delusional yeastwad.
Here is the LINK that has all those insane livejournal postings of hers!
The only thing that kinda worries me is that they put the link of our private forum from ProBoards on their blog's links area to the right. We had been so careful to keep that off her scope because I know the members and mods were all making the big move to another one of their servers to escape the threat of being hacked. Psycho Stalker had tried to get hackers to destroy it for those who don't know this, and I know no one wanted to take any chances of that actually happening. But now the forum's link is there and if she sees the blog (which Psycho Stalker will) then she'll see that link too, perhaps. Maybe? She is really dimwitted and stupid. So maybe she won't.
Either way, the link is there and I don't think she actually got anyone to hack anything for her. So we should be pretty safe. I just worry.
So that's the latest. Been busy having summer fun! Like all the people, except for Psycho Stalker who is busy stalking somebody named Rahil.

Here are the full blogs of Psycho Stalker's posts on LJ.

My little baby girl, Keesa. I remember when Dad brought you home, and I asked if you were really ours and if we could keep you. I wanted to name you Sniffles, and BJ wanted to name you Rabies. I remember that first day together, we were all out in the back yard lying on the ground and you'd come up and bite our ears. All of our camping trips to Horsefly (you sleeping under the tree with only your nose poking out). You were so hard to take for walks because you were the one walking ME. Every Halloween we'd let you 'carve' your own pumpkin with your claws. I've never seen a dog try to attack a pumpkin like that before! And Christmas... How you'd open your presents just like us, and help me open mine. Helping us find our chocolate during Easter Egg Hunts. :) You always could show me where the good ones were hidden. If we ever said the C-A-T word, my goodness. You'd dart off into the back yard. Remember your "crazy dog run's"? When you'd take off around the pool at 100 miles an hour... And the way you'd sit out on the back deck and Survey your Domain. Watching for that damn bird that would come and eat our fish (son of a b*tch).... I'll never be able to look at that phrase the same way again. I still have pictures of you out in the back yard after it snowed... I'd stand inside the back door and make snowballs for you to catch... I love the one of you catching it in mid air. And how you'd lie out on the back deck for hours in the snow, with your fox tail wrapped around all the way to your nose. How you were so afraid of lights… Cameras, flashlights… And shoes :) The way you wouldn't leave us alone when the motorhome pulled up out front. There was no way you were going to be left behind. I remember my first trip away from you when we drove to

I don't know why but that comment upset me.
I made a comment on this on the new site. But I really don't know how to fix it. The blog itself can't host the photos without using all my memory and bandwidth for the month in a couple of days. I can't find a photo host with an attractive, larger thumbnail. Most of the larger photos on the page are straight from the agencies. I'm sorry you don't like it. Hopefully you'll still visit. If not, then it was nice of you to stop by here.

Hi Rosie,
Were is everyone? I seem to be the only one posting on the new site. I already changed my bookmark so I had to go to Dlisted to get back here.
The only problem I have had is getting back to the homepage after posting.
Don't worry sometimes people find change hard so they automatically diss it. What they seem to forget is this a free thing and how much hard work was put into it.
I am sure you will get the kinks out. You as a whole have some of the best pics posted so keep your chin up!

Please wait, updating...
Sorry, you have not added any donations or gifts to your basket.
Sorry, you have not selected any children for sponsorship yet.
Tearfund believes in partnership. It's the core feature of how we work. If you'd like to take your church, business, school or group on a journey with Tearfund, we'd love to hear from you.
What impact does your church want to make in the world? What do you want to be known for? It's a big question.
In scripture we're reminded of community and partnership - relying on each other's skills, support, and gifts to accomplish God's call. Moses had Aaron. Jesus had his disciples. Paul had partners along his journey. The church was built on relationships; relationships are God's hands and feet in the world.
Our partnership with the church has enabled Kiwis to sponsor over 12,500 children, provide assistance when disasters strike, generate thousands of small enterprises and aid in the eradication of Guinea Worm.
It will be different for each church, depending on where you see God moving in your congregation. Here are some types of partnerships:
Business plays a strategic role in building strong and healthy communities. No matter what size your business, we welcome the opportunity to work together in helping those in need and making this world a better place. You can partner with us in a variety of ways; all of which build a culture of generosity and team work in your business.
Employees love belonging to a business community that cultivates a culture of generosity. Talk to us about how you can connect with one of our five causes.
Engage your staff in Tearfund's Poverty Cycle challenge to build teamwork and engage with a good cause. This road cycling relay pits teams of six against each other to help bring freedom to victims of sex trafficking.
"The Poverty Cycle brings teams from many corporate backgrounds together, so other communities – local and global – can successfully live and work together."
—Mike Pollok, MD Ricoh New Zealand Limited.
Pay-roll giving allows employees to donate directly to Tearfund from their pay while ensuring they receive instant tax benefits that reduce your PAYE. It's an efficient way to support Tearfund, while also ensuring employees receive tax rebates.
With other forms of donating, you normally have to wait until the end of the tax year to claim the tax rebate. Payroll giving, however, ensures you get the tax advantages immediately. If you donate $15 to Tearfund, you only have two-thirds of that, i.e $10, deducted from your pay.
This regular way of giving helps us to respond immediately in emergencies such as disasters. Email email@example.com
We want to inspire future leaders to learn, act and advocate for some of the most significant issues our world faces today around global poverty issues.
We want to build a community of people who care about injustice and poverty. One way is to join the Live Below the Line challenge which happens every September. The challenge is to eat and drink on only $2.25 a day, which puts you in the footsteps of the 1.2 billion people around the world that live on less. You will be raising funds and awareness for these people trapped in poverty.
We're always looking for wonderful university students and interested skilled individuals who want to use their talents to help our cause.
For universities with formal internship programmes, internships at Tearfund can be part of students' coursework, with oversight and accountability to an academic supervisor.
Please fill out the form below or call 0800 800 777.

Anybody There???????
Anyway I am back now to tell you that this Saturday (7th April) I will be demoing at The Craft Barn's Mini Fest using Copic Markers. So if anyone fancies coming along and has any questions about using Copics I will do my best to help you. I have a couple of more demonstrations booked in for this year as well. Details of which can be found here.
I haven't actually made them up into cards yet but once I have I will upload them for you to see in due course!!
Since moving house almost 4 years ago I have been waiting for a dedicated craft room and at long last it is in sight. One of the bedrooms is being converted into a craft room and is currently at the redecoration stage!!!! Want to take a guess as to what colour it is being painted?????

Spring sneak peek!
I finally got my thermocouples in today, yay! That means tomorrow I will be taking my kiln apart to try and replace the old ones. Then maybe I can get some of this new work through and listed in the shop. This is just a teaser but you can see some of my new designs for garden markers. I have both the kind that sticks right in the dirt and some that will hang from a wire. All of them are designed for you to write on. Can you tell I'm ready for spring???
Don't forget to check out my post on the Lillyella blog today. I highlighted some of my favorite ceramic soup bowls on etsy.
