What a pleasant surprise!!
When I signed on this morning, I found a comment linking me to artwork on Flickr, and it was Herman Schouwenburg's site there.
He is apparently psychic, because he did a piece showing me blogging and he got the scene about exactly right.
The only thing I noticed, Herman, is you forgot the "J" in Pyjamas lolol!
Maybe I should change the name of my site lol?
I am extremely honored to have been (psychically) painted by an artist I esteem so deeply.
You got the details right. I do usually look that disheveled and harried!
If you want to see some great art by Herman, just do a search on this blog for his name or follow this link where you will see my portrait and hundreds and hundreds of others.
He is a great, largely unsung painter.
I said it before and I'll say it again: I can't understand why there isn't a museum dedicated to the man's work!
Go here to see more by this perceant painter
Thank You, Herman, my friend!
It was indeed a great "Sunday Surprise."
My cat Dru is also quite honored.
It's his first appearance in modern art.
:-)
Dank U wel, Herman...
Duizend maal dank!
Hartelijk dank!

This is great!
Now that is awesome!
ah trop beau cher guillaume! il faut toujours avoir un chaton lorsqu'on aborde la vie eternelle.
Haha! Agreed, Nicholas about approaching heaven with a kitten.
Or a kitty of some sort anyway.
It's a good negotiating tactic in many critical situations.
Battle looming? Pick up a cute cat before "going in." You'll reap dividends.
It works for most people.
Not so much for Dr. No, however.
I'm not sure if that's because it's a scowling Persian or the fact that he's a megalomaniacal, homicidal maniac.
Probably a little of both.
Dru gave it the once-over and said he thinks we should have our portraits "always painted thusly: showing our posteriors to posterity."
I'm amazed Herman could intuit I do most of my blogging in "alcoholic crib wear."
Hi Dana.
Okay, okay. I admit: I love corn.
Corn on the cob is in season again and it's heavenly, and--if you use the (fake) spray butter--guiltless too.
Hi Ag, I think you're the reason I'm on this exercise regimen.
Maybe I was subconsciously emulating you and your dedication to this lately!
I said I wasn't going to weigh myself but I do at rare intervals and I'm down at least five pounds from the last time I weighed which was less than a week ago, and I know I lost at least that much before the first weigh in.
I can see it in my body even before I get on the scale.
I'm sorry I turned my blog into Jenny Craig. Or worse.
I want to write a script about an evil weight loss center.
The staff will all be like Satanists or something and totally corrupt the lives of all their membership.
They will get the members to do horrible, horrible things in the name of weight loss.
It will be like Steven King meets John Waters.
I'll write that on a Tuesday in 2037.
It's still a long journey.
But more importantly it's about healthier eating
I have no idea why that last sentence is there.
Or even the last two sentences.
It sounds as though I suddenly develop Alzheimer's.
I think they were with an earlier sentence or two and then I missed the fact they were hanging below.
So now they just babble at the end.
Nursing home sentences.
I got a shitload of 'em.
do you ever blog on speed?
or do you ever not??? i just cant keep up with you..your blog always amazes me.you are so fucking CLEVER and insightful and amusing and entertaining and deep.do you know that track from the latest jarvis cocker?..'i never said i was deep.'..seriously how do you have the time to read so much,write so much AND give a cat the love and kittylitter it needs?/
its a great show and may long it continue

Haha, Ta Peter.
It's the economy here in the ole USA, Peter.
It's giving a lot of us serious down-time (against our wishes).
The Classifieds section of my local paper used to be about ten pages of jobs.
Now it's one and a half pages.
Just think of this as Berlin in the 30s.
People have a lot of time for blogging, bars, or whatever.
I am living a healthy lifestyle these days so no speed.
Never did illegal speed anyway.
The closest I came was the OTC fun pills you can get at Wally World.
((((Peter))))
