when I was a little girl , I wanted to be an artist. I have many artists in my family. But all the adults around me said that being an artist was very hard. And the rest of the world said that you really don't make money as an artist until you are dead......
Well tonight I want to go back and tell my little... Read More
Ok no more whining and self pity. I am feeling a little better today, but trying not to wear myself down. So I already had morningstar shave my sides and back and help me bleach my roots. Nothing like a fresh hairdo to make a gal feel better. I still don't have enough focus to paint or draw and I get worn out doing almost... Read More
So I worked here and there this week so far. I had to wear a mask at work to prevent me getting anyone else sick. The Japanese have a good thing going with the masks for the protection of others from your cold.
So I am grounded for the rest of the week and week end. I have a few tattoo drawings to do and... Read More
So am am sick at home today.. I had 2 cool tattoos to do, but it's hard to tattoo when you are coughing up a lung. So I have grounded myself here in my bedroom with my laptop, some books and my DS. I can't do anything today. I have to get better for tomorrow so I can work the next 2 days...
So yet again I am out of balance... I burnt the candle not just at both ends but I guess I found a bit of wick sticking out the middle and lit it too. So exhaustion and stress (all good, but stress none the less) has made me open to the first virus that came along. I wonder if my body let me get it... Read More
The reason you are filled with opportunity is because you are awesome. You deserve this.
The downside is that to take advantage of every opportunity takes time, and there are only so many hours in the day.
Make a list. Prioritize. Decide what has to be done today or you'll lose out. Do urgent first, important second, and un-urgent/un-important never. (Just make sure that Tako and Ika aren't un-important :-)
We have the same problem in the programming world. Ideas are easy; code takes time. I have 10 times more ideas than I have time to write. I could lament the stuff I don't do, or I could be happy for the stuff I do. Sometimes I still lament the stuff I don't do. There's a project that's been an untouched #2 priority for three months now. I could write that, or I could hang out with the spouse. Spouse always wins that battle. Spouse is more cuddly than compiler errors.
very busy.. still not sleeping well, so no new Japan photos yet.. Until then I give you
Earth Friendly Moving I saw this in a friends journal and boy am I impressed. I hate throwing away boxes after I move. and the boxes look really easy to stack on eachother.
Last Nights show went pretty good. Sold a few things and got to see several friends that I have not had time to see in quite a while... The gallery is having another party tonight so if you are in the valley stop on by.. They are also leaving the art up for longer and putting up on their virtual gallery online. so maybe a...

It's so neat to see all your work together, huh? I like pulling up all my old poetry and reading through the changes too, it's satisfying.
Cleaning makes me happy. It clears my mind. I love the new profile pics I saw a few Japan pics, tagged from myspace, do you have more online?
So I am finally getting my shit together after my trip to Japan.. Between myself and MorningStar we took over 1000 photos. So I thought I would post some of them every day with a bit of a topic tie in... today's topic: Japanese fashion
I was very excited by the thought of going to Harajuku and seeing what they were up to. Our first... Read More
I LOVE squat toilets. They're more effective (think about a tube of toothpaste upside down), and for women more hygenic (spread 'em = less Klingon drip).
Ironically enough, the thing at most risk with squat toilets is the ankles. Imagine stepping in THAT bad boy in a drunken (or middle-of-the-night) stupor. It's still slippery in that basin (or so I'm told).
We're back.......
I am still taking all in that happened... We ran around so much that I really didn't have time to really take in all that i experienced. And I will be posting photos in the next week...
I do know that I need to go back to Japan with just Todd. I think going with a tour for my first trip was important... Read More
Well the sharks are circling and my mood is dreary... so I bring you a little joke I read on the interwebs that made me laugh despite it being "SHARK WEEK"
and so glad I bought a piece of your famous art
