『   Apologies for the severe lack of posts.  It's been a very hectic March here for Buddha in da haus where we're revamping a multitude of things - like the new website we're rolling out.  ;)  If you want a more consistent feed of all things in the style of the aesthetes here @ the haus then check out our twitter account.  Where daily commentary on everything (primarily the American 2016/17 election cycle) that this planet gushes out of it's orifices is sung by little birds in one hundred forty characters or less.  Don't miss out on quips like these:

"Still Waters" Acrylic on Canvas by Rob Gonsalves,, Magical Surrealism

*Note this rendition has been flipped upside down, to see the original click here

  Literal description: A mesmerizing work of magical realism of a scene of people working to lay tiles that reflect with great precision its obverse.   Beholders must look with a keen eye to understand what is taking place in “Still Waters”.  Useing water Gonsalves  parallel image are shown: a Château & her surroundings reflect upon a smooth blemish free plane.  Further sights are where a boat making not a single ripple quietly rests on the tiled surface; likewise a pair of swans behave much just the same.  Then, in the foreground, a small group works together to create an surreal masterwork of perception in their environs. With every mirror panel that is laid a new reflection is cast, showing each person that their experienced reality is a reflection of themselves & what they have made. A magical piece of acrylic strokes on canvas is a captivating reminder where every step we takes to the present & gives frame to our self idea of reality & how we construct it for ourselves.

」subjective thoughts on Still Waters「

『     A piece that continually allures the eye where the canvas & visual cortex move to one another in waltz leaving the viewer gazes blissfully. Surrealistic art has always had a charm on me that I've remember as far back when I was a kid.  It's pure imagination & creation of another world often so stunningly done distilled by one mind for others to experience.  Art & great art oft is an amazing experience to feel; it tickles your mind in the right ways; opens the door for beautiful emotions; utliamtely expanding your mind even if a little bit in a new path. & for me this piece despite its relative tameness compared to other Gonsalves works visually & thematically, inspires such sentiments whenever I look upon it.   』

『     I have a good number of mildly lengthy political pieces coming out shortly in due quick succession.   Hence to cleanse your mental palate before I publish them all I thought this art post could serve well in that regard.   』 

」 I'd like to apologize to my political followers.  I thought I would have my Flint Debate post ready Sunday evening even!  Though, I've been so busy in the last (it feels ^exponential that amount of work that's pilled on me) few days I haven't had time finish it.   As a concession my Maine Post-mortem post is due to be published within the next hour.  Check back to Buddha in da haus to read it. 「

procrastination poutine satisfaction

」i want horchata but there's only Vampire Weekend「

『 This post should be about Sc2, but it's not. So, instead of that, today's post will feature the poutine that was consumed instead of creating the new post.

So today the crew and I went outside for a session on a cold winter-like but it's fucking spring day that had a sun blasting it's lazy ass rays for the first time in a while. We love poutines. We love poutines like the way a Canadian loves cream cheese in a sushi roll. [sounds weird? trust me it's nnnhhyyyoooooo maaa ggaaaawwwwddddd flavourious] After the customaries it was decided that a jerny to DQ would best satisfy our munchies. We weren't sure at all at what to get at DQ we just knew we had to get there and just consume. Upon arrival my eyes were fixated by the shining bright lights of the menu and the word POUTINE 3.79. And then ...

?????

Pretty standard fast food joint poutine: Which is cheap fries + mass gravy + oh so good but fake processed cheese. It's not a fuck up of a fast food poutine like the New York Fries fare but closer in taste to the KFC poutine and greater than the A&W poutine. The generous amount of DQ gravy finds itself slathered all over the properly fried papas fritas resulting in a mmmmm satisfying mouth-flavour-dance. The cheese is okay as it has a rubbery texture but good taste that acquaints itself warmly with the gravy bathed fries. Overall, it'll satisfy a poutine craving but it's no means to end for one, leaving you jonesing for more. At 3.79 CAD it's not worth the amount you get and if you really want cheap and decent poutine you're better of making it yourself or moving to Quebec. 』

Here's some arbitrary figures:
Taste: 7.5 / 10 , Price: 5 / 10 , Design: 7 / 10 , Total: 19.5 / 30
