alright. about time for an update, then i have to go catch the bus.
actually, i think i'll probably miss the bus, and have to wait for the next one. and as it is raining, i don't believe i'm going to chance walking all the way to the bus stop to wait a half hour in the rain. better to wait here, i say, where...

Well, glad to see you made it out ok, sad you had to leave NOLA, but at least you didn't lose everything.
Rhys: "We don't have rats, we have mice."
Hyena: "No way the mice are that loud. It's rats."
Rhys: "I physically saw a mouse!"
Hyena: "We have both. Just because we have mice, that doesn't mean we don't have rats. I mean, those little mice cannot knock shit over. "
Rhys: "How come we haven't seen these rats?"
Hyena: "They're sneakier than the mice. The...

SADLY
This is exactly how I feel about scurrying critters.
One exception. Palmetto Bugs are like Titanium Golems. I think butterflys summon them to do their bidding.

i always feel like an asshole when i update without responding to the folks who commented on my previous journal entry.
back in New Orleans and in the process of packing.
my place was pretty much as we'd left it. no damage except to the shed in the back, but we already knew that. we were able to save a lot of the tools, although...

Rhys actually has to drive that rat over 3 miles away in order for it to not come back.
Creepy thought.

Dear Old Navy,
Despite the fact that every time I visit one of your stores, I feel like I am in a three-ring circus or human zoo of some sort, and harbor a constant fear of being trampled by bargain-hunting families or buried in a tragic drawstring pants avalanche, I would like to sincerely commend you for a job...

Good luck getting back to Nola... hope your house, friends, and family are all okay... keep us posted...

Sold 'em before. They don't last as long. Lei arent bad for durability, but that pretty much makes them the best of the worst.
As for the cost - it shouldn't cost less to put a pants on than it would to get someone to take theirs off.
A good rule.

Thanks. If the opportunity ever arises, we should definitely have us a sit-down. I suspect we'd really enjoy eachother and that the hours would pass all too easily.
This may be an unusual compliment, but I assure you, a compliment it is - You smoke well. As an artist, I think you know what I'm trying to say. Sometimes the seemingly simple things in still pictures convey a great deal about the subject and his/her aura. You? I catch a confident, matter-of-fact, ease and wit through something as fundamental as a picture of you smoking.
A sit-down would be good. My friend list on the site is made-up exclusively of people with whom I have, plan to, or hope to have the chance to, someday, share space, ideas and energy. We'd have a good time.
You hit the nail on the head terming the bass saga a beginning/end of an era story. It's most certainly that. And... yeah, the hands are big. It's really hard for me to find gloves.
Caddies are pretty hip. Like I said, it's a soul thing. White/cream and red is a great combination. I'm having quite the romantic rennaissance with the pre-1970, big American car. One of my all-time favorites is a '66 Dodge Coronet 500 or 440 Coronet in white over red. Good stuff. May not have the style of a Caddy, but it's as nasty as a big American shoebox gets.
Right car, wrong color
As for the schooling - I've been harboring the idea for at least 8 years. When something festers that long, at some point it must be given serious consideration. I talked to my stylist - for/in whom I have nothing but adoration and trust - and she gave me the skinny. You can either go to school to be an aesthetition or a stylist. Stylist is the only route for me. I'd kill myself in terrible and elaborate ways if I spent the remainder of my years giving facials, manicures and waxing. Just not for me. I'd have to go the stylist route. In Illinois, that means a 1500 hour course (approx 10 months) and a chimp-simple exam. That's just the formality. I've been told to expect as much actual education there as in driver's ed. At that point, I get a job as an assistant in a salon and go through a period of apprenticeship. After that (probably 2 years in total) I'd be thrown to the wolves to fend for myself. Lesley told me that I should look into coloring since there's huge money to be made, but I really see myself cutting and sculpting.
Af course, at this point, I know just a little more than nothing, so it's easy to speak in specifics and absolutes. I just think it'd be a nice way to keep my hands and my creativity intact.
I, too, have heard that being suspended is really quite something. I don't see myself getting hoisted skyward, but it's something that I find truly impressive and amazing. I can only speculate as to the nature of the sensation, but it must be absolutely ovewhelming and probably quite humbling. Keep your ear to the ground. You never know when time, place, people and hooks will cross your path. If you feel it, don't hesitate.
Sometimes, when it comes to gatherings and especially on 'amateur nights' like Halloween, sober as a judge can be the only way to go. After the suspension, the teeny-boppers I was with hauled my ennui laden ass to a party where nobody was hanging from hooks and everyone was falling all over themselves. Once I caught the vibe of the party through the stench of stale beer and the haze of bong smoke (not spending much time with either these days. just feels right in the here and now), I was able to make to take full advantage and accentuate the positives.

Excellent gore. I never can get the point of infection/festering wounds right. I just rely on makeup and extra blood.
I didn't get a chance to saw anything at the time, but I really liked the work you posted in the last entry. The harpies were pretty damn cool, and I was especially fond of the piece for your friend's benefit show in Atlanta.
