hello, love kittens.

currently listening to: earth - pentastar: in the style of demons





i am simply lying here enjoying the evening sun.
i will probably remain so,
soaking up every last drop
until i find myself immersed in darkness
with only the hum of the air-conditioning unit to keep me company.


i have been enjoying lots of long walks filled with good music
(or the sounds of the earth when there aren't too many humans about)
on these sweltering days



much coffee as well.
i do not enjoy it cold and therefore i continue to drink it piping hot
on even the spiciest of days
perched on a ledge or in a nook, happened upon
and while sitting on my porch, reading for hours on end.

mm, heat.

i have yet to be immersed in a body of water and for this i am saddened.
curse ye pittsburgh, your distance from the ocean!

i continue the active search for a line of work that is more than just a minor annoyance consuming forty hours of my time per week.
the past year has been full of jobs that seemed ideal at first and then quickly earned my distaste.

but all i can hear in my head when i say this is thom yorke wailing:
"you do it to yourseeeeelf, you do..."

so i will hush and appreciate the fact that i at least have a job, one that's not SO, so bad, supplies me with an endless barrage of delicious breads and of course, the ability to do all those things in life that require a source of monetary gain like whiskey, beer, travel, books, and thousands of nag champa sticks.



i've been toying with the idea of perhaps moving in the fall. out of the house i have been living in for the past three years, at least, if not out of pittsburgh.

the idea is but a budding leaf.

my attentions are focused primarily on applications and transcript sending and getting my fall education plan figured out. the weighing of options was unexpected. now, they gnaw.

but life is to be enjoyed so of course all of this is placed at my convenience amongst the wonderful devouring of books and playing in bed and in the summer sun.


i hope you checked out the june issue of inked magazine,
yours truly was in it!




i will also have a page in the july/august issue of inked girls.
thats two whole months that you have to get yourself a copy!



i'll be journeying to new york for a few days for the inked magazine metal party!!! \m/
AND....
to shoot with LizardAM
for...


i can't wait to meet and work with this lovely and talented lady.
it has been a few years, young grasshoppers.


i feel that i am more eloquent in the fall and winter.
it is as though i need two seasons of charging by the sun's strongest heat
to write anything meaningful.
i look through old journals and see that i typically write less during the summer.
perhaps i talk more?
though still a hermit to the utmost degree,
i do find myself wrapped into random conversation with passersby while i sit on the porch all afternoon
and staying up very, very late, nights there, too..
sipping on brews,
enjoying the way warm air feels against skin in the dark and
how the voices speak more freely
while the ants betwixt white columns never seem to rest.



la-dee-da
the album i am listening to is almost over and i think i will indulge in silence for awhile,
not bothering to put another on.
once the light trickling in becomes insufficient for reading,
i suppose i will descend from my lair,

there is bacon to be fried.


ok, till next time..
