Paths of Victory

Sometimes I’m reminded of how to live.
That people live in strength and courage, through times that are hell. Real hell. And stand up and keep on.
And I’m glad.
That my way is easier. That I have choices. And can live my life through will. And that really life is as beautiful [...]

I Love Craigslist

For seriously. It kills me.

Bits and Yarns of Things

Ojos de Brujo @ SNWMF
Mmm, what a lovely weekend! Friday saw me pulling a half day and then it was off to find treasures with my friend and her hubby before they traveled back to Seattle. 50 cent bag of yarn and fabric, yes please! Then we cruised over to Upper [...]

I Shall Call You Pepel!

Oh Pepel. Or maybe Pepe. In my best worst French accent. My friend pointed out how I always look over at her when I’m trying to pronounce something, for affirmation. Too funny. But after I watched Renoir’s film whom I’ve watched a lot of these days and love (or maybe [...]

Nothing But Time/I’d Play You This Song

Just finished Into The Forest set in the woods of Northern California by Jean Hegland. Really engaging read, the story of two sisters who struggle to exist when modern society dissolves. I loved how there was no big bang or big bomb as it were that spelled out the end of this era [...]

Mouth Four

This morning I watched this beautiful video f. Watt on bass

and then I watched A Bookshelf on Top of the Sky about John Zorn and the filmmaker Claudia Heuermann. Fucking AMAZING. As much about her creative process in making the film and ideas as it was about Zorn and [...]

Day of Days

And so it begins!
Two days ago I got a message saying that a form for school loans was due the next day. Great notice. I got it sent off today. We’ll see what happens. Three forms that say absolutely nothing that they don’t already know about me. Just give me [...]

On Nuclear War and Sex

I had a pre- to post-nuclear bomb dream last night. Figures getting a full night’s rest.
Preparation was investigating a converted warehouse space. The area had steep inclines and lots of usable fire escapes for movement. Across streets and connecting buildings. Right before the bomb hit I moved from where I had [...]

Going Down In Flames

Talk about a dramatic morning! Seriously. My initial instict to stay in bed, even though I have it every morning, was correct. Let’s begin at the beginning.
I was born…ha, okay, so I woke up, coffee, clothes, purse and out the door. I put the key in the ignition and turned. Didn’t [...]
