SGECCT 2008
the trip was fucking awesome.
i will only be touching on the awesome here since honestly i think if all 95 of us wrote about it in our journals we would still only be touching the tip of the awesome iceberg.
the SGATLiens left ATL on wednesday evening to caravan to SouthernBelle's place in Charlotte.
she put the motley bunch of us up... Read More
Oh Camille !
Hers is such a tragic and sad story. She was sO talented.
Rodin is still perhaps my favorite sculptor, though Camilles is not the only astounding talent that was overshadowed by his overwhelming presence.
I have to confess, very few if any professionally executed sculpture is created the way people tend to imagine.
By the time a design is carved into stone it has usually been done several times in drawings and clay models then an original size in clay, which a mold is taken of and then an original produced in plaster, which is then painstakingly copied into stone.
So by the time it is being carved in stone it is far removed from the creative process and more of a tedious technical exercise in copying.
But thanks for the complements
The simplified version is, if you want to carve an elephant, you just take away everything thats not an elephant. And there ya are.
I had a blast at ECCT 2008! I hope the air bed allowed you to sleep better. Oh, on the way home I'm glad that my TomTom directed me to get off I-85 at North Druid Hills Rd and come down Briarcliff Rd, which allowed us to completely avoid the paving project traffic!
Why thank you
I had to suck in pretty hard to get into that thing by the end of the trip
My evil step-mother is quite a riot. But after 9 days of listening to her spontaneously burst out into bars of Girl From Ipanema and Lime In the Coconut, I was about coconuts myself
She can sing a pretty bad ass theme from Mr. Ed though. So she's got that goin for her.
*i am changing my hair color today. while i adore the lime green, it's fading a bit and summer is here, so it's time for a new shade.*
* i watch Gossip Girl religiously.
today i am going to ride on a float in a Georgia parade.
to me this means i must wear fishnets, big silver boots and a tiara.
i am bringing the camera. this should be fun.
Lactating grits unless I leak a lot. Otherwise crazy string. Hope it flushes.
Surly Frenchmen are quiet, except for the occasional huffing and bored sighing.
Bo! Bo! Bo! RE-WIND! Fast-forwarding is nice, but reliving my favorite moments would be wonderful.
I'm going to go with Barney, as long as they're not like squirrel common. Deer common, not so bad. The arch enemy thing would get tiring also, always trying to stop Bizzaro You from thwarting your breakfast or some other mundane thing.
i find it amusing that this was one of my songs of childhood.
Oh Senor Don Gato was a cat
On a high red roof Don Gato sat
He went there to read a letter,
Meow, meow, meow
Where the reading light was better,
Meow, meow, meow
'Twas a love note for Don Gato
I adore you wrote the lady cat
Who was fluffy, white... Read More
Ghost Hunters is the best show ever! I grew up in the town they're from, and Trevor and I got married at the Stanley Hotel. They filmed another episode of the show there the day after our wedding!
