Blossom and Fade

At the beginning of the month we had a 'snowball' fight.


He made an angel for me and now the month is almost gone.

If You Had Wings...

i'd probably bite your head off.

WTF

I just stumbled upon our fair berg's Craigslist. I'm just a tad obsessed for the moment. Tomorrow I'm going to pick up something I found on it. Damn, it's cool. Do you peruse Craiglist? Do you like it?

Psyched!

I have a friend, a total camera guru who has literally almost every great camera made. I called him up last week and asked him if he'd borrow me his Rolleiflex TSR. I think he was more excited than I was. Of course I could use it. And a light meter and the Mamiya medium format if I'd like. And if I was interested, he'd let me use one of his field cameras. This produces a 4" x 5" negative(kind of like what Ansel Adams used back in the day).

It's amazing what a simple phone call and a major colon blow can do for a person's psyche. Have a GREEEEAAAAAAAT DAY!

It Is What It Is

You know I've been in a mood, a funk, a fandangoed frickasse. Sorry if I haven't left a comment in a while. Whenever I'm around a fast modem I stop by. It makes me realize I need to edit my links list and clear away the clutter. Anyway, I ate too much very salty Sam's cheese pizza this evening and now I feel like a dehydrated Sea Urchin about to give birth to a manatee. Sick.

Saturday morning I took a bath and decided I needed a change after staring in the mirror. I found a dull pair of Fiskars and lopped off my length. Yeah, look over there...the casacading shoulder length keratin is now a feisty, fringy bob. It only took three machismo-like cuts and it was over. Sorry Locks of Love, this went straight down the crapper. Someone said 'man, you have a-lotta balls to do that'. I'm thinking damn, honey, it's just hair and it's not like I went all butch on myself. Sheesh.

So now I'm contemplating a streak of blue, pink or green. Like everything in life, I just don't know.

Blowing Myself

I want to thank my little sweetles for giving me the encouragment to smile. Chrissy, jMo, Christine, AM, J, NWO, LaLuna, Nina, Gem. Excuse me if I forgot anyone as I'm on my second glass of BOHO.

I have exciting news to share. Tonight I won 1st runner up Best of Show for 'skyworms' in the Creatures show at the Central Wisconsin Cultural Center in Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin. I tied with a person that awes me... we both scored 48 out of 50 points. She received best of show for a sculpture. This is a person whose resume reads like the Holy Grail. Currently, she's the artist in residence at The Grand Canyon. So, for the momento, I am very pleased, even if the ice caps are melting.

In other news, I had two pieces selected for a national juried show. THey actually print a catalog so I'm walking on helium as I type. That and the vino are sending me skyward at the moment. The day was great. XOXO

I'm Nervous and Bad with Money

Gah. I have so much crap spinning in my head right now I don't know what to do. So I usually do nothing. Most of the time I float along aimlessly with the slight annoying anxiety fluttering at the back of my mind. It's always there. I checked my bank account and my balance was frighteningly low. I pissed away my 'stimulous' check by paying bills and buying a couple of bird feeders and some plants for landscaping. Frickasse. I have to finish the cello project, I need a job, I'm gonna return to school in the fall and unemployment disappears soon. I can't say this has been a take charge experience for me. I function really well with out medication or alcohol. Excuse me while I go throw up now.

Just Hangin' Around

waiting for the sky to fall

You May Think

I'm Phat


But honestly, I'm just

Fat.
