At some point in the small hours of the morning, Kevin was getting dressed for work and I woke up enough to open one eye. Kevin: Hey.Ursula: I had a dream that I had a fortune cookie, and the fortune said "Love is the best suit, but a chrysanthemum suit keeps you drier."Kevin: ….Kevin: (to the cat) You better not […]

So there I was, in the shower, and Kevin walks in with a live rooster under one arm and– *bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzttt* We interrupt this transmission for our yearly scheduled Christmas warning! Do not adjust your monitor! * * * * * Hey, gang! Well, it’s that time of year again…we […]
So I’ve been kicking around some painting ideas and needed specific pose references, of the variety that are damn hard to get drawing in front of the mirror, (i.e. anything involving both hands) and which I did not have in my archive of vintage nude postcards (which I prefer to anything in the last fifty years, since […]
Had a dream last night. It’s a recurring dream, no less. It’s the old classic–back in school, late for something, can’t remember what room the class is in, etc, etc. The problem is that at some point, somewhere, it finally clicked over in my brain that I’m thirty-one years old. I have had a bachelor’s degree […]
The painting I spent most of Tuesday working on, since I wasn’t going to get any REAL work done, so I might as well just scribble furiously on skin tones. On Paper (Non-sexual Nudity) Non-DA Link
Okay. Back to reality. Time to paint. And write Dragonbreath Two. And paint. Mostly paint. The sun is blazing, the leaves are glorious, and just to add the final fillip to the whole thing, a sunflower has bloomed from the spill under the birdseed feeder. I can see the bright flower head from my window. It […]
It probably says something about the world that my first question to Kevin this morning was "Did you look at the internet?" "Yes…" "There weren’t any headlines like "McCain pulls eleventh hour victory," were there?" "Nope." "Yay!" North Carolina is too close to call. Still. Obama is up by a few thousand, but it’s going to […]
NPR reports that McCain just called Obama to concede. Excuse me a moment. HOOOOOOOOOOOOOYAAAAAHHHHH! I could wish that North Carolina would go blue–we’re awful close, but I don’t think we’ll quite tip–but it doesn’t matter. I love you all, have I mentioned that? (I’m drunk, have I mentioned THAT?) Yes, we did.Yes, we did.Yes, we did. Goodnight, blog.
Race being called in Ohio. If this is true–and I barely dare hope, I’ve been screwed before–then it’s over, and the Great Pumpkin has finally come. And Dole is out down here, so life is–possibly–hopefully–ohpleaseohplease–glorious. Also, I’m quite drunk.
Jesus H. Christ, is he president yet!? How about now? I am getting a mindless scribble painting done, but that’s the extent of my ability…trying to do anything that requires major brain power is just NOT happening… (Now?)
