She gave me a beautiful Van Gogh

Van Gogh - The Starry Night
And by her own fair hand nonetheless...

"The Starry Night" 1889. Oil Canvas. The Museum of Modern Art, New York.

Thanks, my Becky XXX :)

    Rebekah, nice timing. I had set Lever about getting your address yesterday or so. I'll be sure to include my return address on anything I send you...I hear you bake. *big wink*

    But that aside, I was pretty much *shaking* when I viewed Starry Night in person. I was completely in awe. I think I need to take Lever there, um, maybe next week.... *wicked grin*
    But then again, you're so cool and cute and fun, maybe I should ditch him and take you instead...will you still be free next week? *flutters eyelashes...*
    :)

    well dude, i'd have to check my calendar ... let's see ... i can squeeze you in between my 10 a.m. nap and my 2:30 p.m. nap. i'd even forego the noon nap-while-i'm-munching combination JUST FOR YOU. now if that isnt the nicest thing youve ever heard, i just dont know what is ...
    i saw Starry Night and a bunch of other stuff (Dali, Pollocks, Matisse, Klimt, etc.) originals at the Fine Arts Museum of Houston when they did a tour of all those pieces (i think it was called "The Heroic Century"). it was incredible. i had a crappy companion though - all my brother did was complain and call the Dali pieces weird ... *pout*

    yeah, Shina, we'll have a biiiiiiiiiig party. a kegger perhaps?? sounds good to me ...

    Ah Rebekah,
    Damn I feel special. ;) For-go a nap,just for lil ole me (when that will bring you down to a sum of 2 naps, for the day?) Cool. Well, then I'll give ya the special treatment and probably even get my car towed for your amusement (Not that I have to try *that* hard to get it done: there's "tow me" written all over my karmic profile. SO, I start breathing heavy, whenever I'm in a city driving my car, and then have to park....)
    Shina:
    You have such an adorable way of putting things: "a wonderful sense of present and letter." Well thank you, then. *huge smile*

    OH, and if you girls are putting on a kegger *chuckle*, I'll bring the funnel, and even offer to hold it. ;)

    ([to self: hmmm, maybe I should be giving my boy some attention]Oh, and hi dear! *eyelash flutter*....Ok, back to the girls....) ;)

    ahh so lever needs constant attention or what? like this is his blog or what ? oh wait ...

    hehehe. you are wonderfully funny though ... my karmic profile says "sleep. sleep some more." and "eat that much chocolate in one day, it's perfectly alright. who needs pants that fit?"

    regarding the party, can anyone say, BEER BONG???? WHOOOOOOO let's party like rednecks, ya'll ....

     

  • At Tue Jul 05, 04:23:00 PM, Blogger BeckyBumbleFuck said…

    Yeah, ya know that Lever, he's pretty high maintenance. *wicked grin + LMAO*

    And chocolate? Oh, pahhhleaze! Chocolate is a major foodgroup!! Have you tried the British variety? (and lying for the sake of procuring chocolate IS OK, BTW...*wink*) We need to set you up with some, then...

    K. Kegger at your place, as soon as I get done writing this bullsh@t manuscript. Will there be moonshine? I feel like killing off some brain cells ;) Be over soon... ;)

    you know, i figured as much about good ol' Lever... :)

    he sent me some british candy awhile back and it was MARVELOUS. he is the reason that between the hours of 1:30 and 3:30 i curl into a ball in a dark corner of my room and salivate and shake and scream, suffering intense, horrific withdrawals for a bag of white chocolate maltesers. damn me for eating them all ...

    dude, brain cells are waaaay overrated. way.

    i feel like i should tell lever thanks for letting us grafitti his comments section with our ongoing conversations. it's great fun ... Thanks Lever!

    While I do like Van Gogh, I could never have this one in my house. It would make me all agitated. Too much motion. Oh no, flashbacks to having vertigo.
    I like "Sunflowers" best.

    Wait, wait, wait. I thought we were talking about *chocolate* here, not some chocolate imposter....white? No. But, I do understand cravings...um, well...I'll see if I can use my wiley ways to exert the *small* bit of influence that I can have over my boy, on your behalf. I'll try to lever it...*wicked grin*

    I ran out of my British chocolate stash myself and had to resort to *horror of horrors* Hershey's tonight. I really could use some Green and Blacks...anything that you want from me, Lever dear, in fair trade? *wink*

     

  • At Wed Jul 06, 02:31:00 AM, Blogger rebekah said…

    ahhh yes, i WILL use you as bait ... a way to get things i want ... hm... noo dont give me that much power ... hey Hershey's aint bad ... in a pinch ... they make deliteful S'mores ... my kitty likes it ... he likes marshmallows too ... but he also eats plant leaves ... ok we wont use Nugget as an example ...

    OK, if you lovely ladies have finished with me then I will deem this my time to butt in *msirk* (that's not a typo, it's Russian for smirk BTW)

    (damn, sharpies are always such a bugger to get off skin...)

    Reeeeeeeeeebekah: Ta. And you're welcome :) December 7th and artwork for b'day... I shall nudge the girl to remind her ;)

    And YES, she will get you towed... she got me towed LOL

    Sef: That'll be 6 days now... next Tuesday right? Haha you'll be 14 :p

    My BBFK: You take Rebekah there if you like but you'll have to kiss her and compare notes. She does have fuller lips than mine... ;)

    You give me plenty of attention sweetheart... it was sheer fireworks the other night ;) THx xxx

    Anyway, don't worry, you'll be getting some more of that British goodness very, very soon ;)

    Shina: Oooh November 29... cool :D

    And yeah, BBFK's hand is awesome :) Best handwriting I've seen for a while...

    Brom-man: LOL nah, was a Movano (oofavoo) and that gough guy'll be a cricketer I reckon. Do they play cricket in Wales?

    SFMD: Ah, cool. I never saw much of Van Gogh's other stuff, but I hear he got quite dark in his later years. Sunflowers is good... this one would go well in the bedroom though. I may have to see some live VG one day... Dali just blows me away...

    Tescosuicide: LOL, thanks dude, I'll be over soon to see what you got lined up for me :) Oh, and I will get you back :p LOL
