Wow. I’ve…um…huh. So I did this painting. Of a hot sauce label. That was meant to be sort of tacky and charming and vaguely off-color as many hot sauce labels are. It’s…um…well, it…I mean, it wasn’t intentional but… Dude, this is the most homoerotic thing I’ve ever drawn, and I say that as a woman who has drawn […]

*sniffle* "Up" made me cry. Twice. I generally figure Pixar gets one sniffle out of me per movie, but this was totally unfair. Kevin and I both choked up, and there was much surreptitious eye-wiping. (I remember how I used to roll my eyes when my Mom cried at movies. Then I hit some invisible point in my late […]
It is pointed out that I shamefully neglected to mention that said artist of awesome piece is Roger Person. The thing I went back to get that had been nagging at me was a…wall-mounted sculpture?…of a large-mouth bass mount with a stylized hand sticking out of it’s mouth. (It’s a real fish, too) a description which fails to […]
If you go to pick up a painting that you saw a week ago, and which has been itching at your brain, and you figure you’ll get it for yourself for your birthday, and then you run into the artist at the gallery, and you start chatting and you go over to HIS gallery across […]
*sigh* So my bank got hacked, or one of their minions got hacked, or something, and the upshot is that they send me a new credit card just in case. I call them up to activate it–I don’t owe any money, but I still prefer to have the card on hand, in case of emergencies. […]
Why, is that a pair of blue-gray gnatcatchers bopping around the back fence? Yes! Yes, it is! I hope they stay–I’m delighted that the summer tanager pair seems to have settled in the area, since I see them every few days (and hear them rather more often)–but I don’t think there’s any food I could put out that they’d […]
About to head out and do the birthday thing–lunch with buddy, buy a peppermint shrimp, mail art…okay, maybe this isn’t the normal birthday thing, but it works for me. I’m 32 years old, I just got a box of author’s copies, life is pretty darn good. Meanwhile, have the next in the series of things that […]
It’s been a month…time for another phalloi, right? Right! NOT SAFE FOR WORK! My Little Phalloi Non-DA Link Now to go cement over hydroids for awhile…
Whew, busy few days. Since Saturday I’ve had a wedding to attend, a cookout, a book cover that still needs finishing, a hockey game (the swan song of the Hurricanes’ playoff season) and tomorrow is my birthday,* although I don’t think we’re doing anything wacky for it. Tank news isn’t good this week. My tank heater […]
Aaaarrggh! Pests have been in my garden, and I know the culprits…four-legs, hooved, about yea tall, white tails… I was resigned to them leaving deer ticks all over the yard. I didn’t like it, but I managed to pull one off myself the other day without freaking out too badly. Sheer weight of tick biomass is slowly crushing my […]
