In any of my artistic endeavors you shall find a black handprint smeared on the back in oil-paints. I pay tribute to my roots, to my gramma who taught me how to paint before I could even write, who told me that if I can't make my name all I need to do is just smear my handprint on the page... but somewhere out of the way where it won't wreck the painting.
So I put a handprint on the back of the canvass. I think of her every time I do it.
When I was fifteen I moved into this city because my parents moved away to South Carolina and left me here to fend for myself. Since then I've clawed my way into a steady day-job with good pay, a business type employment.
Until recently I lived with a bartender-type boyfriend who wanted to marry me.
I am thirty-four years old in twenty days, and I've forgotten everything I have ever known about myself except how to laugh.
I used to think that everyone had a purpose in life. I guess I still believe that on some level, but the definition of purpose has changed, perhaps grown. I'm not sure what direction my days are taking me lately. My time more or less consists of work and recovering from work, sometimes more damaging than the work itself, and more than frequently it doesn't seem like I'm doing enough. If I was more inspired to create, music, art, prose, anything, life would be better.
I have started painting again. Iz nice.
This brings to mind the fact that things, really, are good and so I have to acknowledge that what we have is never good enough. There are always faster cars, better competitors, greener grasses... I'm sure there are people around who admire or perhaps dislike me for my good fortunes. Hopefully I'm nothing but honest when I think that it's human nature to aspire to better things, to progress, no matter how good things ever get.
Chris and I don't know how to communicate anymore.
Things have deteriorated. Badly enough, poppets.
Your fair narrator is very sad.

| Shaken from reveries... |

I was abruptly woken from a delightful dream at approximately 5:30 this morning, and couldn't get back to sleep afterward.
In said dream, I was being happily mauled to within an inch of my life by Brian Viglione: the XY-chromosomed half of the Dresden Dolls.
Le sigh.
(yes, please...) |

Oh. It just occurred to me to actually look at my car's license plates, and...
They aren't the plates that are supposed to be on it.
My car's plate number (yes I memorize this, I also memorize my credit card numbers) begins with 47F. The plates that are on it begin with 41F. The last three numbers are the same. Both front and back plates are the same.
They're also way more bent up than I remember them being.

SORRY FOR BEING SUSPICIOUS OF YOU LAW ENFORCEMENT |

Woke up with a suspicious amount of eye gak this morning, and now my throat's been sore for about 2 hours. I blame it on Marty. ;p
Still at work. It's been about 12 hours at this point.
Getting my ass beat at the gym today is pretty much the only thing that has kept me sane. I am gonna hurt tomorrow. Did 3 tough sets of deadlifts with fantastic form (finishing with 15 reps at 75 lbs), 17.5 lb dumbbell chest presses, and (3x) 5 assisted pullups on the open bar. It wasn't too long ago that my 1RM for deadlifts was only 80 lbs, and had bad lower back stuff going on because I wasn't activating my core enough. I must be somewhere over 100 lbs these days. And I still remember when I could barely do 10 lb presses. Getting stronger FTW.
It's gonna be a while before I can do a single unassisted pullup though. :/
PS. I started jogging again today. Sort of a pre-couch-to-5k -- taking it easy with 5 minute warmups before my weight training sessions. I'll start the actual 20 minute program 3x/week next week if I still feel okay by Monday. |

Re previous post (Scott Pilgrim colour special on sale now): someone screwed up a number in the store code, that's all. It's not out of stock, and it should be showing up as available again. It's fixed. But geez, go easy on them, guys. Apparently they got over 100 orders like immediately? It's only one guy packing and mailing the damn things.
Re Bear Creek Apartments: We had a crazy day. Linked everywhere server-killing monster of a comic. Thanks to everyone who read it and passed it along! I had to reformat the comic into separate pages until the buzz dies down a bit - I'll change it back to a continuous scroll at some future point, probably, 'cause I like it better that way. |
