in a friends-only post, another lj’er inspired me to ask: how many of you feel trapped in a job that you hate, or feel apathy toward, because you feel that you can’t do anything else, or because you’ve been doing so long, or some other reason?

What would you do if money didn’t matter?

My friends, Darin and Christy, had a show of their work open Saturday night.

The Trash Film Orgy site has been getting some tender attention lately, becoming more content-driven and user-friendly. Why not take a look and let me know what you think, especially of the home-page.

I dropped off Dennis this morning, and I came back home to find the shredder begging for some attention. Such a good egg, that shredder is. Two buckets of confetti later, my massage table started whispering to me about how my next client was going to be there soon, and I should get it dressed in the Egyptian cotton sheets, so I did. My client’s knock at the door had me walking downstairs to greet him. It’s his second session, and boy does that make me happy. I’ve won a new regular client!

Client relaxed, the Catfish folk await. I was printing some of their art out on my printer for the Comic Art show opening this Saturday evening. The seven 11″ X 17″ prints that came from my printer were incredible, vibrant and vivid. Off the three of us went to the Catfish, them to work on their art, I to work on mine. Darin and I did some overhauling to the home page of the Trash Film Orgy site. Please let me know what thoughts come to you about it.

Home again, home again, popcorn ceiling writhes and shimmers, shapeshifting and pulsing to some unseen source of rhythm. The sounds in my head are whirling and clicking and dancing as if Sponge-Bob were leading an orchestra of starfish and anenome into a mazurka so sublime and yet murderously fast to lead my mind into ever-deepening spirals of calm.

When I came back from my journey, my bed’s voice caressed my timpany. Softly, slowly, its honeyed tongue tickles my bearded chin, and I float sleepward, feet hardly touching the ground. I’ll sleep.

this past weekend, i took my friend, denbear, to his first bear party. he hung out near me for a good chunk of the party like the shy cub he is, but soon was off and exploring on his own. it did my heart good to see him meet some new people.

i’m getting the house cleaned up from this summer’s madness. all the travel and other busy activities left little time for vaccuuming and dusting and picking up and stuff, but mostly that is rectified. i still need to vaccuum, but that’ll be done today. i had a marathon laundry day on thursday and friday. today, i’m also cleaning off all the accumulated mail that piled up. thank goodness for that shredder. no more identity theft from this house.

i’ve also been cooking at home a lot more as a method of controlling expenses and getting my creative culinary juices flowing again.

i am named after three men in my family. paul is after my maternal grandfather, paul conrad allen. porter is after my paternal grandfather, george porter brown; and vincent is after my father, bernard vincent brown. who are you named for?
