оказывается, в университете McGill в Канаде учат на пианистов, а у нас - можно получить Phd по музыке, сочинив оперу. Наверное, я никогда не пойму как устроено муз. образование на западе. |

I am aqueous, free of lungs but flying through air. Call me astute, recall my asphyxiation, and analyse the verity of astronomical velocities on Earth. Do you realise? We aren’t austere like your mother or avant-garde like your father; we never were. Visions remain after dawn, always altering dusk. Tell me about the vagabond who flew straight to the pinnacle, left me here, and felt the apocalypse. |

this past wkend we spent in Bellingham. went ot mt. vernon for the Highland Games, and got a crash course on highland bagpipes. sunday was spent on a whale watching cruise, and then dinner at the marina for our anniversary.
6yrs and neither of us are dead yet. although i am finding more and more grey hairs.
BNSF will be over next tuesday. we will drive to OH and work CSX til the beginning of Sept. when husband goes to his MichCon acct. we are hoping that i can get NIOSH and CAAHOC certified during that time. then I will be a) full time with benes and b) audio certified, which opens more possibilites.
there might be some work between oct and the end of the year, but as of now we are planning to do BNSF again next year, provided they dont dink around with the schedule again. |

summer dyed her hair hot pink and it made me nostalgic for bright hair. i just don't know if i can pull it off anymore. my wardrobe isn't as kitchy and cute as it used to be, and i already feel weird enough with blonde hair, like people are always staring at me. i think i'm going to dye it bright red for one last hurrah before i go back to dark brown or black. i prefer having dark hair, it feels more "me" and i don't feel like i'm trying so hard. it matches my outfits, haha. |

Time ago I've been asked to partecipate to a Contemporary Art Group Exhibit with two of my photos.
Guess which photos did I choose? ;D
Dollies.
I'm really pleased I found someone who appreciates dolls and dolly photography :]
and I am really thrilled of being included in this exhibit that will take place in a very enchanting place, Malaspina Castle.
50 Artists at the Castle.
Vernissage: 26th July. |

it's been fun, but i think i'm done.
insane etsy sale
i'm clearing out my Etsy shop, in preparation for a move, to where i'm not sure, but i'm sure it will be teeny-tiny. i don't know what kind of work i will be doing next, but it will likely change and i think i will start trying to sell on my website again. or maybe in person? or maybe not at all? all i know is that it is time for a change. maybe lots of changes. i've reduced my prices ridiculously at Etsy and *only* at Etsy. if i put my work up for sale again, it will not be at such idiotic prices! i just want some of it to move on to new homes. maybe yours? |

Well I am probably crazy, but I searched again for a ferret rescue-type thing, and found a shelter in Allentown that has two ferrets, brother and sister, up for adoption. They cannot be separated, and it's $150 for the pair (which is not that bad really, since at the pet store it was $140 for one). They are 10-11 months old, so I would imagine they wouldn't have too much trouble adjusting to my crew. I filled out an application. I know they probably want to be thorough and make sure they're not adopting out to a psychopath or someone who is going to take them home for a week and then dump them back at the shelter, but man, I felt like I was trying to adopt a child. Anyway, we'll see what happens.
They are super cute.

These are my shoes.
And this is my bed.
This is the view I had from my apartment.
And this is Hayley's cat.
That's Hayley's mirror.
And this is my sparkly sweater.
Also, Wisconsin makes me want to jump into a lake and never resurface. |

I just got laid off. All contract employees were laid off effective August 1 at the latest. I have one more week.
I'm sitting here at Gloria's Restaurant having lunch and drinks.
I was so not prepared.
Meh.

i wish i could say that giving up on the project 365 thing has forced me to spend less time on the internet, but that would be a lie. i just spend more time on tastespotting and less time on livejournal.
i'm having one of those "uh, is my kid ALIVE?" moments because i put him down at like quarter to 9 last night and it's 7:30 and he's STILL ASLEEP. he didn't even wake up to ruin my sex last night, so uh- IS HE OKAY? i still use the same rationale that i used when he was a 2 month old- if he IS dead, there's nothing i can do about it now, and if he's not, i need the break. i was never one of those moms who was like "OMG IS HE BREATHING? I HAVE TO SEE IF HE'S BREATHING. WAKE UP BABY, ARE YOU BREATHING?!?!" i was more like, "FUCK YES, HE'S ASLEEP. I'M GOING TO SPEND THE NEXT HOUR DRAINING MY BRAIN ON THE INTERNET, AND MAYBE I'LL EAT SOMETHING OR BATHE MYSELF, WHO KNOWS!?!"
OMG U GUYS, breaking news! (literally, i'm watching the morning news right now.) k.fed has full custody officially! poor brit-brit. honestly though, i found that whole situation to be pretty heartbreaking. i've always been on poor crazy britney's side- not because i think she's a good mom or because she deserves custody of her kids, but because she's obviously in DESPERATE NEED OF SOME SERIOUS HELP, and not "hollywood rehab help" but like, REAL DOCTOR HELP. i know it's hard to feel bad for beautiful, rich sex kittens who go crazy, but that poor woman never had a decent childhood and then she went through puberty in front of america. then she had kids and tried to be normal, but instead of people helping her when she needed it, everyone kept calling her a shitty mother. god, i can't even imagine. i remember when eli was a teeny baby, i'd just crumple into a pile of tears and snot if anyone even breathed a suggestion that i might be doing something wrong. i fully understand the head-shaving psychopath thing, although i DON'T quite get the shitty weave that followed. just rock a cute short haircut, brit-brit! seriously, nobody's tried to fix her hair this whole time? good god. |

I discovered a lotus farming near where I live. It's so amazing to take your breath away. There's always something to learn in life, something to discover and appreciate. |
