sometimes my former career paths actually help me out. Case in point, english lit & writing. I’ve been fortunate enough to write a little professionally for an encyclopedia (categories, arts &; entertainment) and also I’ve edited some entries in wikipedia (just for the fun of it…) If I can finish my short chapters, I will have 2 pieces in an upcoming book. One will be ...

parvo :(
so, roxy (5 months, 20 lbs puppy) was diagnosed with parvo on Monday, in spite of having 2 parvo vaccinations already (her final vaccinations were ironically scheduled for TODAY). She is doing okay to date; I am still in shock over the diagnosis. One minute questioning my actions, the next wondering if we got bad vaccinations or whether the tech actually vaccinated her properly to ...

ok, this is kind of a cool experiment
I am not sure if this falls under sociology, social networking, anthropology, or what; but I thought this was kind of cool. From the comments: i got to your website from http://www.wefeelfine.org. i’m not trying to make you feel bad. If you check out wefeelfine, you’ll see that they scour the web looking for emotions and then display them back. Mumur (just a listing of ...
niki de saint phalle
niki de phalle (sculpture) I am so excited. I am going to get to see the outside exhibit’s niki in the garden (links are at the bottom).I learned about niki de phalle because there was a fragrance inspired by her (I think probably from the 60s). Anyhow, I worked as a fragrance counter person in college (yeah, I know, you hate them) and one of ...
on solitude
I admit it, I am a person of solitude, an alone person. I have been as long as I can remember. As a kid, I used to spend hours and hours either in my room or outside by myself (in spite of the fact I had a younger sister.) By Junior high, my mom had set mandatory family time at dinner. I need lots and ...
new painting, in process
ok, I don’t usually publish inprocess works, but I am not sure, this one might be finished. Usually, I know, this one, I need to think about, mull, walk around it, kick the proverbial tires. In most cases, I find that the work is done, or conversely, it may be years before it is truly finished. I just finished one such work that has been ...
a moment in a light beam
Every summer for the past few years, as the thunder rolls through the south and the heat drips down our spines making us all cranky and slow moving, I considered writing my real life encounter with lightning. Yes, lightning. I have been close enough to it, to feel the heat, and lose a little moment of time. I can’t really explain it. I wasn’t scared, ...
