bad dreams - enhanced sketch of kara (the teacher)

if it t’were you, t’would be… t’werrific

I had a dream, no, a nightmare, about buying eggs and milk and then having no place to put them in my fridge. Not entirely sure what that means, but I’ve had lots of nightmares lately, and not nearly enough sleep. You know the dreams you get while you’re sick? All distorted, weirdly colored, and [...]

I believe that’s the dance of a brave little toaster

There’s this method for meditation which may or may not help ease a tension headache. You light a candle and sit with it in the middle of a darkened room. You stare at the flickering flame and let your mind wander or phase out or fizzle. Fizzle is a funny word. Reminds me of lattes. [...]

if you're filled with affection

if you’re filled with affection

you’re too shy to convey… meditate my direction. feel your way… My life’s soundtrack is basically one guilty pleasure song after another. I’ve decided that my happy ending needs to have a magical flying car with a hopping/dancing/ceremonial send-off to boot.

let the good times roll

I don’t like receiving mail from unhappy clients in ALL CAPS first thing in the morning, on a weekend, when I don’t get paid. We need to make a special mail filter, you know, the kind that doesn’t let mail like that come through until *after* I’ve had a huge cup of coffee. Going through [...]

katie sketch portrait

you’re the one freaky thing in my freaky world that makes any sense

O_o ♥ freaks Once upon a while ago, Catherine sketched a portrait of her niece… and it didn’t turn out half bad all things considered.  I was able to capture her personality a bit, but she’s way prettier than this.  Oye.  I’m in desperate need of some major practice because the lack of drawing lately [...]

long process progress

power’s back but my computer situation hasn’t improved yet… lacking in motivation to crawl under my desk and hook up more USBs to the ancient but sturdy comp, which has just been connected to the net for the first time in an oh-so-very long time. if motivation does strike, hopefully it’s to finish this painting [...]
