I've been debating back and forth and have decided I'm going to go down to Grant Park for the big Obama rally on election night. That said, I'd rather not do so alone, and the ticket I will be getting is good for me and a guest. Does anyone want to join me in my insanity? Though I do have a ride there and back if I end up needing one, the ability ( Read more... )

Well, I got my couple weeks of relaxing, time for things to get back to their normal level of insanity. On the to top the rest of the insane things list, as I'm sure you know if you pay any attention to Rich or Kat's journal, we're getting a house.

I worked my butt off but it was worth it. Spent the days painting in the booth or wandering the dealers hall (found some nice deals) and the evenings mostly at the bar ( Read more... )

For anyone who's curious I'll be out of town this Wednesday through Saturday. I got a last minute offer from Magnificent Egos to demo miniatures painting at their booth at Origins ( Read more... )

There is nothing quite as luxurious as bathing by candlelight. Fire glinting of water and bubbles and skin.... a good book and warm contentedness. I have an image now that I may need to make time to actually paint. I'll have to sketch out the start of it just so is doesnt get forgotten.

Life has rather settled into a routine lately. This is mostly a good thing, I like predictability of it. I've come a far cry from the days I'd bounce back and forth from state to state looking for something different, for change. Someplace to call home. Home is here now and it's not so much a place (although having my own place does distinctly add ( Read more... )
