No, I've not turned to drink. But I cannot see my tabletops right now & they are not "still life" in the classic sense. (Yes, I've tried squinting.)Circumstances conspire to render me mostly silent (aren't you glad?) this week & post photographs & links & other people's giveaways. Circumstances do not involve my imminent capture by a butterfly-net wielding right wing lunatic (although, you never know). It's about the list of things I'm supposed to do/have said I will do. Many of them online.
There's a photography festival on here in DC (FotoWeek 2010). I'm trying to bite my tongue about the cutesy spelling...I've been guilty. More than once.
A couple of giveaways. Bleeding Espresso has one for a new cookbook (also reviewed), My Calabria. It's always fun to visit Michelle in Calabria, Italy.
The lovely & humorous Blue Gardenia has an exceptional giveaway that ends tomorrow (Tuesday, 9 November). It's a random generator winner, not an essay contest, & so can I just say something? Yeah, I can. Why do people shriek "I want I want" & the like on giveaways? It's so degrading. If the giveaway person gives instructions, I follow them. But I do not virtual-scream like a ninny. I'm sure you do not, either. The comments on this one, though, are tame compared to some sites I've seen. So no offense to BG readers. (photographs from Olga's Tabletop series)

I hope not too silent! Wine is good in the right amount
Wine is fine in the right amount. yep. Oh, I'm sure I'll open up my big mouth about something soon. I'm working self into fury about a few things. Those are cheap & easy & banal & obvious, though. Those sorts of posts. But...lol

Oh boy am I with you on this one!
Julie--You do not do that, of this I am certain.
Mary-Laure--I thought you would be w/me on this one. I think I have been guilty of writing 'gasp' a few times...but in my defense, these were mega-wow giveaways. that was what the 'gasp' was about. I wondered with one if there would be customs duty due, it was so generous.
Otherwise, euwww.
