Now, I love shoes.  Don't get me wrong.  I love handbags more but I do love shoes.  But I have no explanation for these:

If anyone has any theories, let me know...

Two MST movies mentioned in this article on weird movie titles:

I have to say that it was kind of weird to look on Yahoo and see "Eegah!" on the front page.

Just out of the blue...
"Mike's Harder Lemonade" (which seems to just be Mike's Hard Lemonade with the alcohol content upped to 8%) is a heck of a thing to the point where I have to close one eye to focus on the computer screen.  Yoicks.  Perhaps not such a bad purchase! ;)

Life has not been kind to my knitting, I must say. I graduated in May and began my Big Boy Job, which is basically the same thing I did before but full time. Lately I've been so exhausted that I don't even want to knit! Well, to remedy that situation, I started a sock last night. It's just a plain jane ribbed, but I need something simple to get my head back in the game. I have some big plans for the coming months, in terms of prospective projects. Pictures to come!

A friend today said "There is more and more darkness in the world today."

In one sense I agree: there is no shortage of problems and difficulties faced by life on this planet today.

However, to me darkness is the baseline. Sometimes more light is added, sometimes it is diminished but the darkness is always there. I tend not to think of it that much except to resist it and try to hold it back in favor of the light.

So this is what I do: Fight the darkness. Look for the light.

I'm opening up the commission list for custom deer antler rune and ogam sets again! This will probably be the last set of commissions I do before the holidays, so if you were looking for gift sets, now's the time to get on the list!

( Information, pictures and current list under the cut )

Please feel free to pass this on to anyone you may think is interested, to include people who may not be on Livejournal--they can contact me at whishthound (at) gmail.com.

Also, all my artwork may be found here. Ritual tools, jewelry and more, all made with hides, bones, beads, and other such things, and ritually purified as part of my spiritual practice. ETA--As of 8:45 pm PST, our website was temporarily down.

And thank you! :)

Has it really been two weeks since I've updated? I guess I've kind of been a hermit. A lot has happened in two weeks. I can't really get into it right now because if I do I will be late for work! But I'll try to get somewhere where I feel I can write if I feel like writing. I guess I haven't felt like writing very much.

Today is my last day of white clothes, my last night of sleeping on the floor, last day of restrictions!!! They weren't so bad.

Well I have to order my journal and go home and change for work ugh ugh ugh soooo. Hopefully I can find another job next week. Hope hope hope hope hope!

Hope for me!

Wanted to share what I posted in response to an npr.org article, Visqueen: A Ferocious Song Of Devotion:

I have caught Visqueen's last two Portland shows and have collected the whole set of CDs, and am scanning the media for articles like this. The music is powerful, brave, intelligent, creative, bright and catchy, with influences from power pop and punk. The lyrics typically tackle deeper, darker topics of missed expectations and pain but in a cheerful and translucent way. Ms. Flotard slays me with her humor, offbeat characterizations and metaphors when she has the opportunity to talk, extemporizing between songs. The band name comes from that waggish humor, a nod both to the ridiculousness of plastic sheeting and duct tape, plus the word Queen which describes Rachel's role in the band. Don't miss the chance to see Visqueen, they are one of the bands which has helped me turn lemons into shiny, sparkling, sweet lemonade!

I feel like I should post, and more importantly post something of substance, but I don't know what. I'm in staggering amounts of pain all over. Just the tension of getting through yesterday has caused all kinds of aching everywhere. And tired, dear gods the tired. And it's the kind of too-tired, where if I try to relax I feel leaden and exhausted but also jittery. I can't sleep for wanting to get up and run around, but I can't get up for exhaustion, so I just lie there twitching and occasionally have seizures.

Well, here's an article about the Oxfrod juggling study... http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/10/091016114055.htm

I feel a little bit homesick but I'm not well enough to come out of hiding yet. I think I haven't been home in about three or four weeks and there's still a glassy wall of screaming around any serious thoughts of going back. Fortunately I have a weirdly copious amount of clean underwear and spare clothes. I'm not sure how that happened in the bigger picture because I didn't take this many clothes with me, mainly just a few changes of undies, because I thought I'd only be a couple of days. So that's kind of strange, but at least I haven't been wearing the same clothes for a month.

I think I am about to have another tooth breakage. I'm back to chewing on one side of my face til it does. It actually hurts more while it's breaking than it does once it's broken, once the chunk comes out it is almost painless. So damn sick of this. I wish I could afford a real dentist, instead of this dental hospital crap. It's all made worse, I'm sure, by the fact that I clench my teeth a lot. More now than previously, the medication has made it worse, but in any case, grinding and clenching are the sort of things dentists are SUPPOSED TO NOTICE.

I'm smoking less. That's quite good. More to the point, I'm wanting less to smoke, I'm just forgetting to do it.

I've been thinking about buying a PS2, because they're really cheap now. Then on Thursday night Caine came round with his, completely unprompted. He left it here & said we could use it. Good trick, that.

to eat at Incanto when I am in SF next year. Anyone else willing to go with me? Pretty please?

In other news, off to start my bread baking, a little more tidying up, the writing. Welcome to my procrastination.
