My supper today didn’t turn out. It just felt… I don’t know… flavorless? I’m not sure why. Desert was a success though — there were good strawberries at the grocery store today so I got a big container full of them, halved them, and served them with fresh lemon juice and brown sugar. Simple and delicious.
We played ZigZag some more. Now that Nefarious has the hang of the game she likes it a lot more and can play it quite well. I got beat once because I wasn’t paying attention — you get focussed on your attack vector and you don’t notice your opponent sneaking up behind you. At one point she shouted, “ohh — look at the sunset!” and grabbed the camera and ran out on the balcony and started taking pictures.
She snapped a picture of me. “I’m sure it’s just the flash”, but jeez… I’m amazed kids at her school seem to be such fans of me, I totally look like a crazy person… Kind of a Manson thing going on? Well, I’m going to paint for a while before Caitlin gets home from work. I’m looking forward to the weekend — it’s the big Toronto zombie walk on Sunday and we’re all getting undeadified for that.

woah, that is totally manson… ‘cept your forhead decorations are far cooler than his..
if all goes well three beagles and an old friend will be with you at the zombie walk too! if i can figure out how to make beagles undead, that is….
I was thinking Grizzly Adams, which makes me want flapjacks.
i’m the ‘tattooed lady’ at my daughter’s elementary school and boy am i a hit with the kids as well! :)
Scott is a hit with kids too. He’s giant, very furry and dipped in tattoos. You’d think they’d run. But to kids he’s like french fries for seagulls.
One of the kid’s parents told their kid about my split tongue, so now I can’t go to the school without some kid going “show me your tongue, show me your tongue!”
Maybe it’s the area I live in, but most kids in my son’s school are a little scared of me, and I really don’t think I’m that scary looking! Some kids have even told my son that I’m “weird”, he used to get upset by that, but now he thinks I’m awesome and tells them that his mom is cooler than theirs.
Kids are nice atleast honest. My aunts daughter came to visit and back then I lived in a small apartment. She informed me that she could never live there. “You cant even fit a christmastree in this house!”
Well anyway, I understood that you like books, I got myself to the university this fall. philosophy major and cognitive sience as minor. When I read sience books I always try to figure out the attitude of it. Some books only hype things, some are over populariced etc. This particular book is hostile (rare in academic literature) I suggest you to read Anti-Oedipus. Authors are Gillez Deleuze (philosopher RIP) and Felix Gattari (pshycologist RIP)
I’m not nearly as modded, although I plan to be as soon as I can afford it, but I get a fair amount of little kids who stop and stare. I always try to be super friendly and encourage them to ask questions or whatever and it usually works rather well. I find it’s more the parents who are likely to be put off. It’s usually just a novelty to the kids, unless their parents have already instilled negative values about body mods.
I was actually at a farmer’s market in LA a couple of years ago and one of William H. Macy’s young daughters (she had to be like 5) ran up and pointed at me and yelled, “SHE HAS BLUE HAIR!” and then ran and hid behind him. He looked quite horrified for an instant before I started laughing. So so funny.
I like to eat strawberries with pepper and balsamic vinegar. I heard it mentioned twice on the food network so i tried it. It’s pretty good.
Shannon I was wondering if you sell prints of your artwork, if you do where can I purchase it from?
For now the prints are “free” — you can download high res photos and print them any way you’d like.
Manson perhaps, but I can’t grow a soupcatcher that nice to save my life! I have serious whisker envy ;)
