The newest edition

It's 11 am on wednesday and I have a splitting headache. The downside to working with a bunch of women is the bickering and complaining. I'm not saying that I don't do any, I could be the queen of complaining if I wanted to, but it's a different thing to 'listen' to it. So what did I do? I went home. Yes I took the cowardly way out. I work on saturday though, so techincally I -deserve- a half day off. *sticks out tongue* As soon as I get home I fall into bed and I'm out cold! (well, not cold..I turned my electric blanket on. It's freezing up in here!!) I get a call around 3:30 from the aunt. She's bringing a dog home. I rub my sleepy eyes and try to get my brain to comprehend what I just heard. "I'm sorry....what did you say?" I didn't misunderstand. She's bringing a dog home. Needless to say, she totally lied to me. She brought a RAT home! Have a look see:



Oh yeah! Not much to say about her huh? Get this..her name is 'Chicaree' *rolls eyes* Oh well, nothing much I can do, she's integrated herself into our little family. I must admit I am encouraging our other dog to eat her though. *looks innocent*

Also, here's a picture of my latest project. It's a combination of watercolor, bleach, and colored pencil.

    I've said it once and I will say it again, the said rat looks like STELLALUNA, the fruitbat in the children's book by the same title. It's really cute, though. I mean, I think its so ugly it's cute despite the way it's spoiled. Also, it doesn't like it when you eat bagels. That's just entirely too distracting from it's appointed bathroom time. (teasing!) hahahah!
    I LOVE this piece. Its very different from what you do because it is very abstract but aside from that, I love your use of various art forms and styles and tools. I mean, bleach? It's very impressive. Furthermore, it's well done. I could have abrilliant idea too but the execution of it would be a disaster and there would be no salvaging it. I'd bleach a hole in it! No, it's really nice. I see a bit of a celtic element about it but the cloudiness of the backgruond is interesting. What can one glean from this? Ooo I'll have fun interpreting the meaning. I DO think it's interesting that you used warm colors when the sharper angles of it usually conjur up thoughts of the COLD. ^_^ Anyway, I love love LOVE it!

Lost Girl

Lost girl protects what is precious to her Can you say the same for yourself sir Hidden pockets of misery and divine Islands of hope if only they could shine Lost girl pushes away heartfelt love Not deserved, bloodied and shoved Unexplainable expectations she's given A heart not beating, held broken, riven Lost girl bites back urges to cry A scream past parted lips, only a sigh Shaking inside, flying apart, unraveling Logic and reason, following, traveling Lost girl can't tread water any longer Deep breath, under, float, stronger Leave behind all that exists here Keep it safe, hidden from fear Lost girl wants to turn back, embrace Behind closed eyes, only her face Accept what's been said and done Move forwards, towards the rising sun

Losing Money

That's what my bosses are doing today. They make us work on Memorial Day and then question why we aren't busy. But hey, why should I care? I'm getting paid to sit here and read. It's just that sometimes I can't help feeling I'm stuck in a Saturday detention. Doesn't help that half of the employees called in 'sick' today. Maybe I'm just jealous and bitter. I did have a wonderful weekend though! We went to the lake on Saturday and couldn't have asked for better weather. Had a BBQ, soaked up some sun, went home and slept. I watched Trainspotting while I unpacked some more boxes. It was disturbing to say the least and the baby, TRAUMATIZING. Johnny Lee Miller is absolutely adorable though. On Sunday we went to the theater and saw Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End . I was a little 'iffy' about it because I had read it was over 2 1/2 hours long. The second one wasn't very good in my opinion, but I decided to give this one a ...

So this is INCREDIBLY rambly...just had to get some things out! Life is.... interesting I feel..... everything One moment I feel very adult-like. I have responsibilities, a career (even if it's one I don't like). I have bills to pay and I'm budgeting my money. I make wise choices and investments. I help people with their problems and I am a shoulder to cry on. I fix things and I'm in complete control. I know how the world works and I feel comfortable with that. In between this breath and the next I'm on my ass. Things aren't like that at all. Am I just fooling myself? Is it a coping mechanism for us because we are so programed to think that way? Do we really believe we have to be in control of everything? The world is constantly changing, like the ocean. We are constantly changing. I have a childlike desire to see and experience everything. Good or bad, it doesn't matter. I want to feel pain, extreme pain along with happiness and complete joy, e...
