Did the last post disappear into Never-Never Land? Or was that just my brain? I have this lame-o blog just sitting out here...kind of like a blimp over a stadium (and with far less impact!). Maybe I ought to write some of the amusing stuff in here instead of putting it all in my Xanga blog? It's a thought. Not a great huge thought. Just a thought.

Have been immersed in the "Twilight" universe lately. Following cool blogs (you know who you are!). Twitter. I caved and bought the movie. I like it. Don't love it but do like it. I'm pretty happy with Edward/Rob Pattinson but Bella/Kristen Stewart needs some work. Would it have killed them to show her SMILING? There are so many hilariously sarcastic lines in the book. She delivers them as mean-sarcastic, not funny-sarcastic. Hopefully the second movie will be better but the rushed shooting schedule does not bode well for good finished product. I am probably far too old to pay attention to any of this but it doesn't feel that way while reading the books. It shows what a good writer Stephenie is!

Wow! Visitors!

Wow oh wow oh wow!! People looked at my blog!! Maybe I ought to write something interesting in it! Hey -- it could happen...but it probably won't. Just like it probably won't happen that people will look at it again!


I've got a part-time job that is pretty interesting. The only stressful part is the metrics they keep on us. I thought I was doing okay until I heard from my coach today. There is hope, but there are things I need to work on, too. Since this is my second week of actual production work I shouldn't freak out. Perfectionists will be perfectionists, though!

A couple of scans... just for fun

This one reminds me a little of Baba Yaga's house, except it was on chicken feet. I would love to have a house like this one, with its roots buried deep in the world.



This one reminds me of how I often felt when I was working full time. I only had the "life force sucked out of me" -- it never made me "stronger;" just weary in my soul.



Mr. Spock was my hero from the first Star Trek episode!! He gave my nerdiness a focus: science, science, and more science! And math of course. Long live algebra!!

A different direction...sort of

I've decided that I can't "say" everything I want to say on an ATC so I'm going to try a 6" x 6" collage. I'll post it when it is finished. My niece asked me to do one for her so she will be my first victim! Now I just have to unearth a few things for this one: red mulberry paper, pages from Japanese books (helloooo skybluepink.com!), and black gesso. I think I have all three of those. I'd also like to get some Tim Holtz stuff to glue on (only because the tons of watch parts I have will be too small to be used effectively). That awful man -- he keeps coming up with stuff I think I have to have! Luckily, I'm mostly immune to the stamps, even though I do like them...and have a few of them too, of course.

Stay tuned to this channel but don't hold your breath -- I'm pretty slow....

More ATC stuff

Here are a few that are in progress.

And here are some that may or may not be finished.

The one on the right may actually be finished but I have to think about it. The bummer about it is that I put a lot of glue to stick the watch parts on it but it doesn't show on the scan. Oh well.
