lol, I had removed my picture for a short time due to an unforeseen event. I hope the unforeseen event has now passed, so I return... vibrant once again... AND anew!!!

Brand new photo that is, just taken last night...err maybe the night before....

um, i think you might be the funniest person on the planet.

have fun in Raleigh tonight. WHere is Raleigh anyways? It in NC too? Sounds like it would be.... Raleigh, NC has the right ring to it.

Anyways, what you go there for? Friends Family? Fun?

Me so nosey. Lol, sorry, feel free to answer none of the above

i am in the exact same place (w/o a huge power bill -- but i am battling bmg as usual). i brought home boxes to start packing in anticipation of moving sometime to somewhere. i'm looking for a house to buy. i know what i can afford but the bank disagrees. in fact, all the banks disagree.

hullo, m'dear! sorry, i do not have much experience with the powers of utility. i hope you are able to resolve that without much disaster! and thank you for your sweet and thoughtful comments. i am putting together something for a third attempt, and hopefully, this one will turn out the way i imagine in my head. i think that's the problem. you set out with something in mind, and when it's not quite there, it's a bit disappointing, but i'm learning a lot as i go!

freaky. you look like a friend of mine too.

she just moved to the states from new zealand, but i cant imagine her peying for porn.

Glad to see your computer is currently functioning! I cant believe so many people have had issues with Uhaul! You would think if these problems are as wide-spread as they seem to be, we would have heard about them and possibly used another moving/rental truck company! Curses to Uhaul.

my friend has been lusting over a minivan for the past few months. that one with the remote controlled dual sliding doors is da SHIT.

Glad to hear that you have gotten better, and that you have a new car to scoot around in, and NEVER buy anything from the Salvation Army....you can get all sorts of bad shit ....but that is something else all together

I don't know what you're supposed to say when you want to get to know somebody (in real life or on sites like this), so I'm just gonna ramble here for a few...

Did you know that you're the only female on this whole site who mentions "The Maxx" in their profile? Well done, miss. Good taste.

Which Kevin Smith movies did you like? Or rather, which ones DIDN'T you like? That'll be much more telling.

I like your art. The piece called "Secret Societies" is very interesting. Where did you get that picture of all the '50s students holding up signs? It's almost Orwellian/Children of the Corn-spooky.

Okay, that's enough rambling for now.

my pic is finally up, but it's too dark to see my hair. i can't figure out how to get additional pics up. i've been battling the car dealership for 2 years about my pt cruiser's warranty. i can't even think about it -- it makes me want to kill. why don't my smilies work? i feel your pain. it worries my that there was nothing on the news about the dead body -- maybe there's a secret underbelly and portland is only great on the surface? in new orleans you can't even get anyone to pick the deadbodies up off the sidewalk no matter how many times you call 911.

did you see jenny while you were there??
i havent been to greenville in about three years. my ex boyfriend and I went so i could be in jenny's wedding, and we missed the ceremony. i got the time mixed up and showed up for the pictures. woops.

great art work sweetie !

now you know. there is always something new to learn around this place. thats for sure.

book learning classes are a waste have you broken the code?

I am dumb. So I like dumbed down a bit lol. Though if it is reference to the computer language they use, I can probably handle it not being dumbed down

tropical storm sounds really fun, like drinkin' tahiti treat or something and wearing hawaiian shirts and having a beach party!

i'm alawys drawn to car art. perhaps because it seeme to me to subvert the power of corporate designers.

i visited these galleries on tuesday:

acquavellagalleries.com

flowers

both are in the neighborhood of the old sant ambroeus where i worked six years until it closed in 2001. we're going back, re-opening in the wintrer or next spring. at least sant ambroeus is going back. i'm thinking of ditching america and trying somewhere else. i've been thinking that way awhile, but beth is hard to budge and the dog and cat difficult and expensive to move.

i find if you actually roll around in car art the fuzz hassle you and i'm likely to be vulnerable.

eleanor acquavella, whose family has been pushing art a time now - her grand-daddy had picasso, and indeed there was a picasso hanging there on tuesday - she and i were crossing park ave. together on the morning of nine/eleven when i was going over to check on beth who was working at the whitney then. eleanor was talking on a cell phone - they were still working, the secong plane had just hit - and she expostulated something like "you're kidding" and when she'd hung up i asked if there was new news and she told me that the pentagon had been hit.. i said:

"it's like the chinese curse: may you live in interesting times."

eleanor didn't seem much impressed by my sagacity. that's cool. she'd just got married that summer and they dropped some big bucks on the festivities out at their place in southampton. i think we did the cake. she may already that morning have been pregnant and the baby i have been told thrives but i don't think i've ever heard if it was boy or girl, tho i waited on her not too long ago. i gotta remember to ask.

all of which i bother you with, young artist, because eleanor and her brother deal contemporary art now.

ponder her some.

if i was a shithead teacher you'd probably be charged for this lecture but lucky for you i'm a trash artist.

from where the condition be ever oranger,

quin.

you're not aspiring. you're already an artist. now maybe try to work harder but remember some greats go down hard. richard braughtigan (sp?) , ray johnson.. harper lee, for that matter...
for reading i'm pushing thorstein veblen's 'the theory of the leisure class', and hammett and mary shelley and arnon grunberg.
arnon grunberg is still alive or he was a couple of days ago when he came in to get some food for the people at his place . there's a new baby in his life. i've been reading at his 'phantom pain'. beth, my wife, read a little of it and thought it was funny... she ain't so easily amused.. love.quin.
making money from art may never happen. fuck it.

i'm such a fucking klutz i deleted you as a friend coming to visit you. forgive me. demand a penance.
i was coming to say arnon grunberg has stuff at university of love dot com. i'm gonna attempt the url :
