othering



well, we came we saw we presented and were regulary othered.
were back and we had a good if not a hard work time. Thank you lou and kate for input, you were voices and quotes within our talk.
steve will no doubt say that i was negative about our performance but as always in hindsight all things can be improved upon.
However i think we made [or should i say steve more than me] our mark and as such are thinking of turning to radical cartography as a response to the neo liberals!

above is photo of a small section of a collection of botanically correct 3D glass flower and cross sections contained in the Boston Natural History Museum which believe it or not rendered us both speech less for a good 10 minutes!!!

The pictures of the glass flowers have made me unable to comment. We both made an impression- the first blast of the bugle against the eavil regement of neo - liberals.

Well, what I wonder is how you got the date to be wrong? Is it April in your minds? Do you mind? I never mentioned it but I had a cat called Artemis once. She was what is called an Isabelle, that is three distinct tones: black, ginger and white. Isabelles are always female as was Artemis. So the exhibition was female Steve and you are big girls blouse. I loved the final show you put on for us. Pity I didn't have more time. The aura around the rubber doll - I wasn't very explicit at the time - was that it looked like it was something else - I couldn't tell what it was - a bit medieval - a bit dusty a little distorted - sad - also there was the song:
My mother told me
That she would buy me
A rubber dolly
To play with Molly.
but when I told her
I kissed a soldier
She wouldn't buy me
A rubber dolly.

I'd always wondered what a rubber dolly was and now I know. I can imagine the rubber dolly marrying a soldier too.

Thanks.
Tim
