no doubt. the most Dam Fine weekend would be the one wherein one sits in a raggedy flannel nightgown at the end of it - with a glass of cheap red wine. the cat licking with relief at your presence. finally. with eyes near bleeding and bursting from the sights. with …

yes. another shed. but oh! such a peachy one.

trying to uplift my mood. it is such a day that given the choice between doing the legitimate wrist-slitting project on my desk or doing a meme, i chose the meme as the lesser of two evils. yes! i'm not kidding. don't …

the other thing i did yesterday H E R E

i rather love these.

i was going out yet again today, to see what i would find. but it is not as lovely or warm as yesterday and by the time laundry was done and this and that, i had an agoraphobic attack and was disinclined to …

making two vows and a project

this weekend is supposed to be beautiful and even ... warm! ... possibly 60 degrees. it turned out to be not a wise weekend to have a car (economic difficulties) so i must stay in town with the same old things. however... i am going to go …

i'm still around. it's still winter. a rough one for me. filled with confusion, regret, wonder and a mild depression. the artTable remains terrifyingly tidy. i try to amuse and comfort myself with social activities that make me feel more an alien than ever. i read and …

on the last day of the year 2008 i woke much earlier than the other occupants of the house in Austin i was staying in (of course). i took my newcam, Aretha, and a few dollars in my pocket and drove (the Texas way!) a few blocks to Jo's on South Congress for my morning …
