Fotos of last weekend's adventures are still pending, I have to obtain consent from the other person involved before I paste photos of her looking drunk all over the internet.

I finally figured out that they sell PERMANENT and not just "waterproof" black india ink. Duh.

So I obtained some:



They call it "Eternal"

It works really well, I did the experiment below and then colored over it with Prismacolor markers to see if it would bleed or not.



The verdict is that there is absolutely no bleeding or smudging, which is AWESOME. The other verdict is that I can't dip my nib into water when I use this stuff because the water absorbs into the paper weird and creates a halo around the ink lines. Good to know.

Here is the long-promised picture of the army that Joe raised to intimidate our household. Sadly it stopped at this point so we didn't get to follow through with our My Little Ponies and army men:



Here is an abandoned grocery store:



And I don't know if I ever posted this, it is a pig at a picnic being upset because they served bacon AND THAT WAS HIS MOM YOU GUYS.

As you were.

...tired. very. but pleased that things are moving along well.

Jodie and I ventured out to the Hamilton Cemetery today to walk around. I've always loved cemeteries: so peaceful and full of stone art.

Fun fact: The oldest of the Municipal Cemeteries is the Hamilton Cemetery at 777 York Boulevard. It is not only the oldest municipal cemetery in Hamilton but is, in fact, the oldest municipal cemetery in Canada. (hamiltonhistory.ca)




It's eerily humbling to think that a hundred years from now, I'll be dead and buried and the only way I'll really be remembered is if I make a mark on the world in some way. Even our grave stones fade, are consumed by the earth, and forgotten.

I think I'd like to make a mark or two.



I planned out my entire funeral in great detail when I was much younger. It was a big to do lol. What an odd thing for a kid to do with her spare time... I wish I still had that notebook, that would be an interesting read.

Anyway, one thing I always said I wanted was a very big, very beautiful statue to mark my grave - what an ego.

This one was quite striking. You can't tell from the picture, but they eyes on this lady are freaky - they look like they're staring into your damn soul! lol




Fun fun!

Or maybe today's excursion was a salute to death: the death of a lot of bullshit ways of thinking, thus acting, that I guess I thought I needed to cope... things I didn't even know I was thinking/doing.

Well you can't end something until you know that there's something there to end and then figuring out what it is, exactly - it just took me a while I suppose.

Lesson learned: you can tell a lot more about yourself (or rather, about how you feel about yourself) by your actions and reactions then you can by your thoughts and beliefs.

I dunno. I'm just trying to stay awake cause I don't feel like going to bed yet - the result of which is this half-ass blog post.

And no, I'm not sorry.

But I do love you :o)


Love M

The tortured lovers Michael and Nikita (La Femme Nikita) <3

Jacoby steals home safely, Jacoby gets called out.

Jacoby throws his helmet, Jacoby gets kicked out. (Which, okay, that happens. That's the rule.)

Obviously it looked close, replay is shown. From a zillion angles. CLEARLY JACOBY IS SAFE.

I'm sorry, but the umpires have gone over replays to reexamine calls for WAY LESS.

HE WAS SAFE.

Oh I am angry.

inspiration for the next thing i'm doing


these boys

i adore them

this fat bastard

you may remember him

im finishing up the sketches, i'll show them to you soon.

tonight: korean food and bruno and chubby.

i love the sunny weather. i wish it was around more often in charlottetown. went to the beach yesterday on a bike and tomorrow im thinking of hitchhiking to the beach. cant take any longer to do that and will save my legs. its just over 20km each way which gets longer when you get distracted and go off course which i do on a regular basis haha so tomorrow i might just walk to the edge of town and hitchhike the rest of the way. mandy did it today with no problems so i shouldnt have any problems.

next week i start my pub crawl duties which is going ot be off to a strange start when its a predrinking fest before the midnight screening of the new harry potter movie lol i sure know how ot run a pub crawl/movie night haha sadlt its juliette and scotts last night in town which makes me sad since ill miss em muchly. hopefully we get some good replacements since theyre my main folk around here.

beaching tomorrow should be good. i should be leaving about ten am and i wont be heading back until much later in the day. mmm cant wait!

So I got back from work last night, and saw that the nest was empty. The last of the 3 babies flew away about an hour before I got back. :/  Damn working until 6pm.

Speaking of work, I was put up in the most awesome place I have ever stayed at in my entire life.  This place was like a damn condo apartment...and their standard rate is $65 a person per night!  That's not the state rate, either.  That's the resort's standard rate!  I'm definitely requesting to stay there the next time I work in Price County.  This place was so big, I couldn't get everything into a picture, so I had to go straight to video.

I'm not totally sure I remember what 'weekend' is anymore.

Last Saturday and Sunday I as at work, and tomorrow I'll be at work once again for an as yet unknown amount of time. Still.. working on those days means no annoying women around. Not that women are annoying (at least 90% of those I know are not annoying usually), just a few particular ones I work with. Also, with no one from the office in, work is a lot more relaxed on those days, because of the lack of people asking you questions, running around with orders etc.. And the money is good on those days (when I say good, I mean 'better'). So far 13,5 hours overtime this month (in 10 days). Tomorrow probably another 6 or 7ish again, with the possibility of working Sunday if we fuck up tomorrow :p. Which we're not planning on doing.

Isn't work fun?

My oral exams are over, I've been doing basically nothing work-related for almost a week, and it's high time I go back to creative activities, among which drawing, of course.

Without further ado, here's what I've been working on at my parents':


I bet this will ring a bell for rapunzelita (I told you I had started drawing that scene, right?). To be honest, at first it had nothing to do with Shadow Nexus at all: all I wanted to do was a Zauberflöte fanart (who could NOT see that coming, huh?). But as I had that scene in mind, I decided to also use it for Genevra's drawing. As for what the SN version of this scene represents, well... you'll have to find out later. ;)

Not sure about the beast part,but I think it helps my sanity, music that is.
I have my fifth live concert this month tonight. I leave everyone feeling way better then when I started out. The good thing about tonight is its just across the Hudson from me, about twenty minutes. I love the drive home when its just a cruise.
I just noticed how long its been since I said anything here,but its been all writing,not just here. I just havent been able to make myself put anything down. When I do it just magnifies my feelings of isolation. It used to make me sane. Things are cyclical tho, it will probably swing back to writing before long. I should probably just make myself write in fact. I'll think about it.
Now its music tho and tonight its Hey Monday, something new. I like new and shiny, alot.

Wine+cigarettes+puzzle+Smashing Pumpkins= WIN

The amount that I don't care about CGI roller skating babies cannot be measured by man or machine.

Today I took Cassidy on a walk for a few miles. We talked about going to high school, feet, and women's rights.

We had tacos for dinner, which we ate outside on the back deck having purchased a little table and some chairs for just this purpose. We played Scrabble by tiki torchlight.

Now Cassidy is playing Zelda Twilight Princess and it is bedtime. I think I managed to wring some living out of today. Since I'm a bit wound up, there will be a stolen post.
