Strangers

It rained last night. It was amazing, i hope the season brings much more. This morning everything was all soggy and fantastic. It reminded me of Chris. He would have loved today. After work, I walked out for coffee and smokes. It was getting dark, and i walked to the corner where Chris had written so many of his songs. I miss him, and when i sit there, i almost feel him with me.

Today's song is brought to you by The Kinks... It is love.

She's Lost Control

Recently the world's been spinning without a second for the breathing part. I've started to wonder how anyone manages to make it through life without being an artist. Is it possible that artists are the only people that feel the need to express themselves in a way that is mostly magic, partly insincere, and often condescending?

Often times i feel it crumbling before my eyes, right through my fingers, and i'm unable to catch it, or even define what it is. i find it hard to relate with people who are not artists. And even more so, i don't consider all artists on an even plain... In no way do i consider myself stuck up, i guess i am elitist at times, but i love those that are willing.

Drinking, i have found a way to release myself, i may not be the artist that i once was, but if you want to hear about it, i have some ideas... the drunken ramblings of a mad woman may be slightly too much right now...

And speaking of madness......

Today's song is brought to you by the best ever Joy Division. If you are not familiar with them, I highly recommend that you go buy "Unknown Pleasures," or christ, even the best of, Joy Division is what dreams are made of, and in his short life, Ian Curtis became a god. Okay, that's enough from me...

Subbacultcha

Projects! Projects! Huzzah!
Here's some little sillies...

This next guy is heavily influenced by some of my favorite crafters. She is made of fabric scraps and old pants. She's about 2 1/2 feet tall including her legs. I don't have a photo of her after she was finished yet, but she is done, and that will be posted soon.

Her name is Myrtle. Shs is an octocatowl. She loves staying up late at night, and wearing pretty dresses. Her favorite band is Shonen Knife...

Bear hat!
I made this for work, but I don't think I want to give it up. The pattern's from Stitch N' Bitch Nation.

We recently had an adventure at The Biblical Gardens. It was quite magical...

We've also been going to Meri St. Mary's radio show, The Underground Sound on KVMR every other Wednesday from Midnight to 4 AM, it can be streamed live at KVMR.com. If you get a chance, try to listen to it, she plays some really good psych and punk rock...

Oh, and one more thing... We'll be in San francisco from Jult 15-19. Get your party hats on...

Caleb has an art show starting on the 16th. That night we will be attending a show at The Eagle on Howard. Meth Teeth and The Oh Sees will be playing, and we are all very excited.

And what's going on in S.F. on July 16th and 17th? Oh, The mother effin Renegade Craft Fair. I could not be more excited.

Sleep.

I've been disgustingly busy recently, so I haven't been posting at all. This will actually suck because i don't have any photos uploaded of the things i've been keeping busy with. A lot of embroidering, and some knitting. Oh, and listen to this!!! I started drawing again, and i even attempted writing. Mostly all failed attempts, but, whatever. Feeling more neurotic than usual, and with the same going-ons as usual... i don't really know. Chris' death has really saddened me. My world is moving abnormally fast around me, and i'm just at a stand still. i really hate it. i will fix it, eventually.
