Holy Jumpin' Cats!

Okay, I'm crying because I just killed off one of my characters. Either this is a good sign, or I am just lame.

Last night I made it to 25,001 words. I'm cautiously optimistic that I may pull this off...

Complications be damned- I'M DOING NANO, AND I WILL PUNCH ANYONE WHO GETS IN MY WAY.

Transporting three cats single-handedly? Not fun. Catching the smartest one (pictured)last, not the best move. He was a wily little bastard. Took me about twenty minutes to get him in the carrier.

At least they seem to be taking well to the apartment.

The Cure's Disintegration is 21 years old. Damn.

I had to watch this again just to remind myself of how weird it is.

berreh, please tell me you've seen this. There's definitely a bit of Elerius working here.

I can only aspire to this level of badassitude. I think she must be a slayer.

With the insanity of the previous week, I have forgotten two important people.

Happy belated birthday to neumunki and acusa_dora!!!!!! I hope this year brings you all the happiness you can handle.

The house is under contract. Good lord...

No one should die because they cannot afford health care, and no one should go broke because they get sick. If you agree, please post this.

I've been really lazy about posting things here, as it's much easier to post on the art blog. It's been mostly goofy PS collages lately, as the scanner is dead. Here are some of the pieces over there:



( More pictures )

The last is from a collaborative project involving me and cathschaffstump. There be boats, scientists and tentacles. Information is forthcoming...

The obscenely talented teacake421 has finished her novel, and it is available for purchase. That alone is worth celebration, but for me in particular it is a red letter day in that MY ARTWORK IS ON THE COVER. I can't tell you how exciting this is for me.



So go and check it out (though bear in mind that it's not for reading to the kiddies)!

Okay, I hate promoting my shop on my journal, but I'm starting to realize that these paintings aren't going to go anywhere if no one knows they're for sale. So, I've dropped the prices on most of the originals on there, and have added unframed stuff to cut back on the price. So..yeah. Everything must go, new low low prices, lifetime warrantee (okay, maybe not that), etc.:) Check it out!




See more at my Etsy shop:)

Was trying to write today and found it impossible. I think this painting speaks for itself.



Yep. One of those days. But here's another picture for good measure:)

Now that is an intro.

For my birthday, Pete had gotten me some Yupo paper. It's synthetically made, environmentally friendly:) I like it! It's definitely different from the paper I'm used to.

So we were at Ikea the other day, and were in the warehouse section gathering boxes and such. Pete leaves me for a few moments to check on something, and I decide to put something called a Trogblad or suchlike in our cart. As I'm picking up the somewhat heavy box, I notice a cart pulling up behind me. I step back to avoid it, somehow catch my sandal on my big toenail, and rip the toenail back.. I drop the Trogblad on the floor and let out a rather impressive and fluent stream of colorful language. As soon as I compose myself, I look up at the cart and find a toddler sitting and staring at me with an expression of fascination, as if she had just learned a fun new vocabulary. Her parents looked less impressed. The only thing this scene needed was keyboard cat somehow rolling up and playing me off.

Man, Pete can't leave me alone for a second. I think I need a FAIL icon.

Happy Belated Birthday to yaaresse! May you have a wondrous year, full of gorgeous sunsets and glorious food:)
