"I believe that men are generally still a little afraid of the dark, though the witches are all hung, and Christianity and candles have been introduced."

all this has happened before ...

This is what I came up with this week in my quest to regain my identity as "artist":


If it looks like nothing, that's because it kind of is. It's not done yet. Or maybe will be when leave it behind as I begin something new "new." *

 I came back to it after letting it sit for a while, and it occurred to me that I just have to slap a garbage can on there and suddenly it's 2008 again.

Except less interesting and more...you know...orange.


* ... and all this will happen again. End of line.

this is what i do

The Ugly:
I stubbed my toe today at Target. In a nail-tearing blood-gushing kind of way. I didn't really know what to do, so I just pretended like the blood wasn't pooling on my flip flop and carried on.

The Sorta Good:
To my credit, I decided to check out right away and buy dish soap another time.

The Really Ugly:
I was too lazy to fix it up when I got home, so I waited for it to dry and figured I'd deal with it when I shower next. In the morning, tomorrow.

The Good:
I was wearing this shirt, recently sent as a gift from my adorable family.

Also, I found a $22 pair of athletic shoes.

The Bad:
Yes, I was in the shoe section, trying on shoes, when this foot-blood-gushing incident commenced.
And I think that t-shirt is somehow the best possible description of my current mental state.
