Did everyone have a nice Thanksgiving? I hope so. Everyone at our house had a good time. Yummy food, very relaxing atmosphere, and The Great Randini even swiped his first bite of turkey. Heaven help us.

The cats are only allowed to eat human food if a scrap of it somehow hits the kitchen floor. Randy?s got the turkey fever now, though; there?ll be no stopping him from trying to steal some of it whenever he gets a chance. J made a plate of leftovers for lunch today and practically had to beat him back with a drumstick. Not good, not good. I predict lots of basement time for Randy during future Thanksgiving dinners.

I was going to brave the crowds and do some Christmas shopping today, but when Agent J came back from his errands this morning, he convinced me to nix the idea until tomorrow. Apparently the traffic was beyond insane on the west end of town where all of the big stores are located. He said that it took three cycles of lights in nearly all left turn lanes before he was able to get through them. That was all I needed to hear!

All of the post-Thanksgiving sales looked so gooooooood, though! It was really tempting. Then I thought: Oh sure, I might save a couple hundred bucks on all of my purchases, but how much would I spend getting the parking lot dings removed from my car doors? And how much is not getting a migraine headache worth these days? And if I flew off the handle and strangled the dingbat lady in front of me who was trying to buy a light-up Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer sweater (that was two sizes too small) with an expired coupon and a three-party check ? just how much would it cost to bail me out of the pokey?

So I decided it was more cost effective to stay home and catch up on some reading instead. See? I?m alllllways thinkin??

I?m in the studio right now, looking over at my table of supplies. They are calling me to work. Two days off have made me exceedingly lazy, though. I may need an artist?s nap first. Hee.

More later, friends ~ ~ ~

Creative Questioning

November 23, 2003 | 2 Comments

Sorry about the lack of updates, gang. The days have just been melding into a big blur lately. It?s the end-of-the-semester and holiday time whirlwind, dontcha know?
I seem to have all flames tended and burning at a tolerable level at the moment, though. Nothing seems to be threatening to explode into a fiery ball of hell, and that?s always a good thing.

I?ve been working in the studio each night this week and it?s been quite productive. Remember the beginnings of a Little It that I posted a couple of weeks ago? Here?s an update.

“Francis”

He?s not nearly as complete as some of the others I?m working on, but he was the only one dry enough to shove into the scanner. Hee.

There are lots of questions emerging as I create these things; they always come to my mind just before I drift off to sleep. Some of them include:

• Why is it important for me to make small human-like shapes?
• Are these Little Its full-grown and just small, like a miniature pony?
• Or are they in a child state that they will never grow out of?
• I didn?t play with dolls when I was a child, so why am I doing it now?
• Are these actually dolls or are they something else?
• Why does calling them dolls feel demeaning to them/me?
• They all seem to have a personality ? but where is it coming from? Me?
• Are they personifications of people I know?
• Do I want people to be amused by them? Attracted to them? Frightened? Repelled?
• How do I know the name of each Little It as soon as I start making them?
• Some of them have obvious genders, others don?t. What?s that all about?

Plus about a zillion other questions.

I find it very odd that God would instill such a strong drive to create things without giving the details as to why. I feel like I am flying by the seat of my pants when I?m working on these things. All I have in front of me for guidance is this occasional blip on the radar screen that says ?keep going?, ?wrong turn?, ?start over?, or ?yes, use those grey freshwater pearls for the eyes because they?d look really cool and funky!?

These questions and many more will be answered in upcoming episodes, I?m sure. Tune in tomorrow for more. Same Pink time, same Pink channel.

The Friday Five and blah-blah-blah

November 21, 2003 | 1 Comment

I can hardly believe it’s already Friday! Go here to see how others answered the questions.

1. List five things you’d like to accomplish by the end of the year.

Respond to all of the personal email that?s sitting in my inbox right now.
Get all the prep work done for my classes next semester.
Choose a doctor for my elective surgery
Balance my damned checkbook! Gawd.
Sort through the files on my computer and get rid of stuff I don?t need or use.

2. List five people you’ve lost contact with that you’d like to hear from again.

Mike
Lee
Frje
Heidi
Jen

3. List five things you’d like to learn how to do.

Speak French (better than I do now.)
Weld
Fly an airplane
Play the saxophone
Tango
4. List five things you’d do if you won the lottery (no limit).

Find a person who really needs financial help and give them all they need.
Pay off my student loans ( oye, you have no idea…)
Buy a small ranch in the country
Open an artist?s colony
Travel around the world for a year

5. List five things you do that help you relax.

Think about my artwork.
Pet my cats.
Listen to a clock tick.
Close my eyes and envision the smiles of my best friends.
Sing! Which tends to un-relax everyone within earshot…

That was fun, but I’m still not sleepy. I hate it when I am tired as hell but can’t sleep. I’m trying not to think of how foggy-headed I’m going to be later this morning when I am giving a lecture. That only makes me feel desperate and more sleep deprived.

My head just won’t shut off. Doesn’t everything in the world seem really unsettled lately? I mean, more than usual. Politics, World War III, terrorism, legal bullshit, moral decay, la-dee-freekin’-dah.

I have global angst and that ain’t good. I don’t know how God handles the stress. :P~

Tuesday’s schtuff.

Dear me. Michael Jackson is in trouble again. Who would have ever seen this coming?!

I hope they nail that nasty, plastic-faced freak to the wall this time. He?s just about out of money, so perhaps there?s a good chance he won?t be able to buy justice if brought up on charges this time.

Please, please, please God ? let it happen.

O.J. Simpson slashes two people to bits and walks. Robert Durst is acquitted of murder and the dismemberment of a corpse even after he admitted to doing it. Las Vegas odds now have it that Scott Peterson will probably walk off a free man due to lack of evidence. Can?t we at least get Michael Jackson?s perverted SQUICKY disgusting ass thrown into a dungeon somewhere?!

I need that to happen in order to regain a little faith in our justice system. I really do. Please God. Slam a freak in the name of Jesus. I’ll be waiting to throw a party when you do.

In happier news, Thanksgiving break is now only a week away. I can?t wait! I?m planning on getting all of my end-of-the semester lectures organized and starting to put together the final exams I am administering. The rest of the time, I am going to work in my studio, hibernate like a bear for hours, and enjoy lots of turkey dinner leftovers.

Speaking of that, I have to go pick up a turkey pretty soon. If I don?t get one by the end of this week all that?ll be left are the humongous, ?serves 25? turkeys with drumsticks that resemble the legs of a Tyrannosaurus Rex and we?ll be eating that bird for a week. Blecccch. I like turkey, but not that much.

I guess I?m feeling better about the holiday now. I just needed to get over that hurdle of hearing the disappointment in my Mom?s voice. Hopefully she is becoming more adjusted to the arrangements by this time. I think it?s best to wait until Thanksgiving day to talk to her again, though. Otherwise she?ll have another chance to re-open the topic and get her wishful thinking going again.

I still have an exam study sheet to prepare for tomorrow?s History of Graphic Design class, so I better get going. If I get too tired before I finish it, I may be tempted to take it easy on the kids and simplify the test a bit.

Can?t have that now, can we?. Hehe.

Bye for now, friends. Thanks for stopping by for a visit ~ ~ ~ :)~
