A couple of link-things!
New piece up on 
screwballheroine: "Let's Go Visit the Swans." This is about animals and memory and continuity. It's also about my mom, and it's also about getting outside yourself again. Dogs are dopey and great. I like the pictures in this. Hope you enjoy.
If you're desperately trying to avoid thinking about the presidential debates tonight, so am I! I've got some coping strategies available at my RealName.com, as well as interesting links about architecture, Ralph Nader and pockets.
Also, if you can see it, I wrote some pretty personal stuff yesterday and would actually love to talk it through with anyone who's up for it.
Finally, I discovered
ParlorTattooPrints last night, and I just want so many of them for my walls. I don't know if I'm settled/un-skittish enough for a tattoo myself (yet), but I love flash-style art, and the lovers, the melancholic flapper, the female boxer, the sailor's girl, ugh there's just something so alive and intriguing about this artist. There are a bunch of other very cool prints, including daemon-like portraits with corvids, a bunch of Sailor Jerry-style takes on classic horror movies and a whole series of fancy barbers. (I found some other good finds and shared them last night on
magpiewhale, if you dig majorette uniforms, spiderweb cardigans and pins of the witches from Hocus Pocus. &halloween;!)
