One of my art teachers told me that the difference between the amateurs and the pros wasn't always talent...it was stubborness and the determination to fix all the little errors that creep into a painting  And Larry Niven told me that the difference between pro writers and hobbyists was that the pros only steal from the best...!

OH here I go. Larry Niven..that Brit actor ? If it's him I love his old movies? You spoke with him Pat ? | ||
| Patricia Davis Senior Member Username: patricia Post Number: 9807 Registered: 10-2003 |
No, Larry Niven the science fiction author--"Ringworld", "Thor's Hammer", etc. etc. I think you're thinking of David Niven. Actors don't usually say clever things about writing, right? "When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross." Sinclair Lewis 1935 | ||

If I ever met Larry I'd ask him if he's related to David, or vice versa! Patricia, what's the deal with Irish Coffee?  Waxy is extremely stubborn, so maybe there is artistic hope for him yet?

potters steal every thing from every body with out shame pat.  bet the public did not know we were such theivs, us artists that is. oh well now they know. the one thing they cant steal is the heart well that is not exactly true either but it will come through in one's work. speaking of actors saw the ad for the new mission imposible. caught one line that they had placed an exploding divice in tom cruse's head. only if only if oo did i do dat | ||

Actually, I thought David Niven's auto-biography was very well written. He was "clever." Re: Art, sometimes it's the errors that make the painting/sketch art. Too much fiddling can ruin a piece, ya have to know when to quit. (Message edited by Leathab on April 21, 2006) | ||

I'll take the turqouise cape and red wig, with the lovely ball gown to match. (Puts in "Phantom" music) "Think of me, think of me fondly...." Just for giggles. Found this today. YOU KNOW YOU ARE LIVING IN 2006 when... 1. You accidentally enter your password on the microwave. 2. You haven't played solitaire with real cards in years. 3. You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of 3. 4. You e-mail the person who works at the desk next to you. 5. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends and family is that they don't have e-mail addresses. 6. You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home to help you carry in the groceries. 7. Every commercial on television has a web site at the bottom of the screen. 8. Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn't have the first 20 or 30 (or 60) years of your life, is now a cause for panic and you turn around to go and get it. 10. You get up in the morning and go on line before getting your coffee. 11. You start tilting your head sideways to smile. : ) 12. You're reading this and nodding and laughing. 13. Even worse, you know exactly to whom you are going to forward this message. 14. You are too busy to notice there was no #9 on this list. 15. You actually scrolled back up to check that there wasn't a #9 on this list. AND NOW U R LAUGHING at yourself. (Message edited by Leathab on April 21, 2006) | ||

i have not seen the movie yet but i just googoled it and man you think I am supper creepy. sorry I was just haveing fun if you mistook that I apologize. I have been exploring the dark side of my nature lately and i could see how i would be percieved and not on the path or fallowing the light and have offened some people. but i feel that to know the light i have to vanquish the dark. thats the deal with me these days. I am spirtually damaged and am healing that self with what i learn. trying to avoid the pitfalls along the way but i gues that is part of it. | ||

Briggy you do have a bouncy personality, and I hope it comes back again after you have 'rebounded' from whatever it is that you are dealing with now, that makes you 'hide under the covers' all the time.... *smooch* | ||
