Today I hammered out most of a script upon my agent’s request. It is eighty pages, aimed for 5-7 year olds, required multiple cups of coffee, and at one point features a small sheep standing in a Viking longboat screaming “Valhalla, I am coming!” Even if it doesn’t sell, the fact that this is my […]

My Dad and stepmom are moving to Atlanta! Yay! They’ll actually be close enough for holiday visits and stuff, as opposed to flying out every couple of years to Phoenix. I will admittedly miss the excuse to visit AZ, which is one of my favorite places, but I’ll stoked that they’ll be within driving distance! […]
This is my second Great Horned Owl Mask, and pretty similar to the first, except that I added more gray to the feather design and darkened the bottom of the white eye circles, because…err…seemed like a good idea at the time. As promised, this one goes to e-bay, because I have no idea how to […]
Since there was some significant interest in this one, I’m sending it to e-bay! (Auction starts a bit higher than usual on this one, because it’s a fairly large piece by my standards– 8 x 16–and I am absurdly proud of it and would cry a little if it went for less than that.) I […]
I keep trying to find ways to paint birds, a way that I feel like I’m doing some justice to them, but not just churning out Yet Another Wildlife Portrait. I still don’t know if I’ve found it, but this one came out kinda neat. Scanning this one was a bear. The blue glow is […]
Well, it was a distant look at the snowy owls, but we got it! Also I’m home, etc, nothing caught fire, the beagle is fine, Ben began head-butting me so intensely that he nearly gave me a nosebleed. On to more important things! The ice was pretty dire, but our hosts were Canadian, so we […]
So I got into Seattle last night around nine, found the city paralyzed with snow, and managed with the aid of a disgruntled cab driver, to get to our friend Tina’s. (Actually, the cab driver, who thought I should have gotten a hotel, that Kevin should have come to meet me, that snow was a […]
Off to the Great White North, hopefully to spot a snowy owl (or at least not get snowed in.) It’s a whirlwind business/birding trip, so I’m getting minimal socializing in, but we’ll almost certainly be back later this year, and hopefully can do more hanging out. In the meantime, I am now Ready For Spring. […]
So Kevin’s off on a business trip for a bit, and I’m engaging in the usual behaviors that make me feel better when he’s out of town, like checking the locks eight hundred times, turning on a radio in every room in the house, and eating takeout crab rangoon. (Yes, I know it’s not real […]
Also, I have a vague memory of a book coming out, by some weirdo author person…. (Okay, that’s an Amazon link, but if you can, totally go buy it from your local bookstore. Bookstores are hurting. Also, I get more money that way.)
