Went for a quick walk down to the stream again. Nature is so cool. Today, in addition to the usual suspects of cardinal, towhee, bunny, finch, nuthatch and grackle, there was a great crested flycatcher, the first one I’ve ever seen. (Thank god, it’s the only flycatcher in the South–they’re notoriously hard to tell from […]
Monthly Archives: June 2006
Yesterday was productive as all hell–got a painting 9/10ths done for the Con, got some prints run off, got a Digger done, got some good writing in on Nurk. That’s “good” as in “a lot” not neccessarily “good” as in “good.” I keep losing time on it, which is generally a good sign. The surprising […]
Went for a walk to restore my vital brain juices. The air is damp, thundery, and oppressive, and of course, the farther I walked, the more thunder we got, leading me to believe that I should probably turn around and head home. But I stopped at the usual bend in the stream I walk down […]
Oh, dear lord. I was out pouring the Hot Meats peppered sunflower seeds into a feeder, and ran afoul of them. My hands were nowhere near my face, so I suspect a stray breeze caught one of the tiny bits of husk, carried it dancing on the wind, and then, with airy malice, whipped it […]
Okay. Today I need to run off prints, and work on a Digger, and maybe do another small piece of Con art, something I have been woefully neglecting for days in my orgy of random gods. In my copious spare time, if I get inspired, I should write more on the story of Nurk. The […]
Also, somewhat belatedly–new EMG zine, and new Wombat Droppings! http://www.emg-zine.com/
The problem with e-mail being down for four days really isn’t the communications you’ve missed. You can make it all back up, and sure, you get a little backlogged, but generally you’re okay. No, the real problem is 400 goddamn spam e-mails to click through. Jesus wept.
It’s an intermittently grey-and-sunny day. The Devil was beating his wife, or the foxes had a wedding, or Coyote got lucky, or whichever peculiar colloquialism you like for the weird behavior of the rain, but now it’s settled into grey and thundery. The nasturtiums are blooming, the dahlias are coming up, there are no new […]
In light of today’s events, I figured I better finish the painting of the wicked turtle crone doublequicktime, lest I find more of her familiars checking up me… http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/34347345/
Predictably, the turtle went for the road. I helped her across, just in advance of the mail truck. She is now across the street, and ambling down the sidewalk like a good pedestrian. More than this, I cannot do–she made it this far, and if she makes it back home, wonderful. If I drag her […]
