So, I have my first actual gallery show coming up. While the whole thing reeks of nepotism, since the gallery belongs to my brother in law, it’s still rather exciting. He’s also gong to put some of my jewelry- the stuff I’ve been making with wire and Swarovski crystals- in the show. I have actually been painting lately, so that’s good. I have one ( Read more... )

So, one might wonder why I was wandering around Ballard at midnight last night, in the fog, wearing cat ears, cat makeup, leopard print thigh-highs, a corset, a tail and a hugely floofy, very short can-can skirt. One might. Several did ( Read more... )

At work the shit will just not quit hitting the fan. I had in the space of about five minutes, one full time staff person give notice, and another call from the hospital with a collapsed lung, with a bi-annual sale starting tomorrow, which will be intensely busy ( Read more... )

Frustrating, frustrating, frustrated. I got the MRI results back for the Damn Knee and it is basically a piece of shit. No, really ( Read more... )

Well, I went to the Knee Man today. He thinks I ripped a tendon attached to my kneecap. I have to have an MRI to see just how much it's torn- he does think it will probably require surgery to repair, but possibly not. (Boy I hope not!) He also told me no work basically indefinitely.He did say he has no clue how on earth I could have done what I did ( Read more... )

In less angsty news, the cat made me die laughing today. I was taking a bath, and Rascal looooves baths. He perches on the edge, chirping and begging to be petted until he gets sopping wet from me petting him, dabbling his paws in the water and drinking it (mmm, stewed human ( Read more... )

I am at home, not work, which is unheard of on a Sunday. There is a reason for this. I am Gimp Girl ( Read more... )
