For Meredith

It's all in the masquerade

Sleight of hand, jump off the edge. The water's clear. And innocent.

One these days you're gonna harness the blues

I love listening to music without having to watch a video. For me it's getting right to the source; mainlining. You'll need a Spotify account, which is selling yourself to the Devil, since they are in bed with Facebook, which I loath. But it's worth it to listen to the music unadulterated. Once you've signed in to your account and then clicked like a million f*n times, the music will eventually play. You're welcome.

It's Amazing...

It's the End of the World as We Know It...

I'd like to make myself believe, that planet Earth spins slowly

Last winter I played around with making a disco ball stencil and Copic Marker's airbrush system; not inexpensive for canned air, but I must say, it's pretty fun.

I'm so happy with my disco ball stencil which took FOREVER to make. But the highlights and shadows came out quite nice. In hand, the piece has a nice sheen because I sprayed it with metallic paint.

In my dream loft, I will have an empty industrial ballroom, with just the dark and a disco ball and every night I'll disco dance. EVERY NIGHT. Me and Mom. We're booth dancin' fools. Life is just so much more tolerable when you can dance. And have a cocktail. But that's for another post.

I love Owl City's song, Fireflies. It's so sweet.

Her Morning Elegance

My Huckleberry Friend

So sweet and so tender. I get misty-eyed every time I hear this.

They'll bust your kneecaps

Oh Johnny, the family won't like this

Walking in a Winter Wonderland

Here's to a little peace and quiet.

I'd like to make myself believe, that planet earth turns slowly

Owl City. Fireflies

My first attempt at iMovie. It was HARD.  But huzzah huzzah! I made a little video!

I'm up on a tight wire

I've always loved Leon Russell's Tightrope. I think I'll make it the theme song to go with my circus lady doppleganger. Not crazy about Leon's scary makeup for this album cover though. Ick.

I'm up on the tightwire one side's ice and one is fire its a circus game with you and me I'm up on the tightrope one side's hate and one is hope but the top hat on my head is all you see And the wire seems to be the only place for me a comedy of errors and I'm falling **Chorus** Like a rubber-neck giraffe you look into my past well maybe you're just to blind to - see I'm up in the spotlight ohh does it feel right ohh the altitude seems to get to me I'm up on the tightwire flanked by life and the funeral pyre putting on a show for you to see **Chorus** Like a rubber-neck giraffe you look into my past well maybe you're just too blind to - see I'm up in the spotlight ohh does it feel right ohh the altitude really gets to get to me I'm up on the tightwire flanked by life and the funeral pyre putting on a show for you to see
