Fool's Day

Like the Fool of the Tarot, I have just leaped off the Cliff of Life and am diving head first into new opportunities!

October 14-16th I will be selling Sock Dolls, Art Work, and Computer Repair at Furfright 2011! I'll have 6 months to build up a stock of Sock Critters in all sorts of patterns and colors.

And that's going to be the EASY task.

I have 1 month until I need to have 6 pieces of art (MINIMUM) to submit to NAF! For the Month of April, I will Draw no more than 2 Pics a Week.

For the Month of April, I will Draw no more than 2 Pics a Week.

A Month Later....

Okaaayyy that was a longer haitus than I'd hoped for. I guess I kinda Magicked myself out there for a while and it's taken me THIS long to get back into things. Also home drama and issues haven't helped matters, nor did a Bi-Fucking-Polar Mother Nature deciding to pull the old "Oh I"m going to have the first day of Spring be a beautiful 60* degree day, full of sunshine and gentle heat, and then BOOM! Drop a cold snap on New England and freeze their yankee asses!" kinda week.

March has always been a sucky month for me. I honestly loathe the Transitional Months out of the year, when things are totally out of whack and the Seasonal See-Saw can go one way or the other very fast.

March, August, and November are all months I struggle to get through.

March is supposed to come "In like a Lion, and Out like a Lamb", but in New England, it can go In or Out like one, the other, or both. We had a week of GORGEOUS weather, where myself, B, and L (no clever nicknames for her just yet) went out walking the neighborhood, or checking the trails at the park for flooding. And then, the very next day after the Equinox, 3 inches of snow/slush, high winds, evening temps in the 'teens, and forecasts of that ilk for another 2 weeks. Hell, April 1st is supposed to have a snow storm (not the first April Fools Storm I've seen).

I was just getting into the swing of Spring, getting up off my lazy butt and actually CLEANING THE APARTMENT (shock and gasp, I know!), finishing projects that I had started in February and at least one of them NEEDS to be done no later than TUESDAY (at least have all materials gathered and assembled in a SAFE CAT-PROOF place until the proper Lunar cycles begin again). I have to admit, tho, that a huge derailment of my initiative has been due to household affairs and a newly-formed Polyamorus lifestyle ((which is a whoooolllleee mess of things I don't wanna get into right now)) and all the joys and dramas therein.


Things That Didn't Happen in March (that SHOULD have)
  • Mardi Gras - The nightclub that usually hosts Mardi Gras was on a bi-weekly schedule due to winter storms, and had Mardi Gras a week early.... and I misread the invite and asked for the ACTUAL DATE OF MARDI GRAS off from work. When I saw the mix up, it was too late, so I told my boss to forget it and I'd work that night. Only to discover that they had Mardi Gras PART 2 on that date >_<
  • St. Patrick's Day -  I had to work, and I honestly almost forgot about it. St Paddy's hasn't felt the same since I moved out. When i was a kid, my mom would make Irish Bacon and Cabbage (Far superior to Corned Beef and Cabbage, lemme tell ya!) and loads of boiled spuds and even tho I didn't like the cabbage, my dad and I would fight over the brown bread and golden butter they had 'smuggled' over from Ireland during their last visit. I"m not much of a drinker, and prefer to partake of a different 'green' intoxicant. Although if I ever get myself a bottle of Absithe, then all bets are off.
 Things That DID Happen in March (that I was surprised came out so well)

  • Sorrowseed Release Party - My dear friend, Morte McAdaver, at long last released the debut album of his metal band, Sorrowseed. I truly believe that this is the band that will catapult him into the stars.
