Things (Because 'stuff' was getting over used)

Apr 25, 2008 13:37

I've decided I'm going to start working on my life-size werewolf sculpture that I talked about in passing last year. It's spent enough time percolating in my brain, that I've got most the basics already figured out, so it's now just a matter of sketching out more specific plans, buying stuff, and making it. It should be fun, even if it doesn't ( Read more... )

Durn straight you'll be posting pics.

If I get to it, you'll be the first to know, most likely. :)

Cool. Nice to see you upbeat and inspired, too. Maybe it's the imminent springtime. (Springtime is on full blast here. Beautiful days.)

N. and I have a nice inexpensive digital camera, but she'd like something more high-end/creative/professional, too. (But under US$1000, and preferably under US$600.)

We had a week of snow last week. Just started getting better on Sunday.

And honestly, I'm not feeling very upbeat or inspired, more desperate to find something I lost again. This is just me fighting the sense of ennui and hopelessness/doom I've been feeling lately.

I gotta do something, yanno? Or call it quits, which is against my oh-so-stubborn roots.

D'oh. I didn't think about how far north and landbound you actually are. When I lived in Iowa, it could still snow this late, and it didn't really get warm and green until mid-May. I do not miss that at all.

(With the exception of mid-June, which is story-book gorgeous. If you know the 80s comic strip Bloom County, with Opus the penguin romping in idyllic meadows with neurotic boys, it looks like just like that [and no wonder, since BC originated in eastern Iowa]).

Stubborn-Refusal-to-Quit is Upbeat-and-Positive's smarter, cooler cousin.

Downsides to Spring here: Air is full of pollen (I read somewhere that SC has more plant species than all of Europe) that makes me ill, beaches are full of tourists. Unfortunately, both are necessary to life here.

Well, just as a future reminder, I'm about 2400 miles northwest of you, and 640 miles from the nearest ocean-front. ;)

Bloom County is awesome, though I was never a huge Opus fan. I thought the little kid with the monsters in the closet and the overly-vivid imagination was more interesting. Oh, and the dead cat running for president, of course - "Ack!" King George couldn't do it better. :D

We don't get many tourists here, except for the few separate weeks for the various rodeos, but we do have a lot of pollen (albeit, not to that variety) - enough to collect in every nook and cranny and contribute to a fire hazard warning the last couple years. Allergies suck, but I'm pretty much on antihistamines 24-7 for most the year anyway. So in a sense, merely having seasonal allergies would be a blessing.
