9 Moons Ago

Well, it’s been a great week. Cameron and I met up with Richard E. Grant (Cam runs his website) on Tuesday to hear him talk and to see his new movie, “Wah-Wah”, an autobiographical account of his early life in Swaziland. It is a comedy/drama and we enjoyed it so much. Really beautiful, funny and quite touching.
We also went to see Richard on Rove and had a great time there. The guests included Chris Isaak (YAY!) and a group I like called The Living End. Fun night!

The last two nights saw the mercury dip pretty low, but we spent both nights in the front room with the dogs, snuggly in front of a nice warm fire, while working on projects. Tonight is the first time I’ve been on the computer in a while. It’s been raining and still cold tonight, but the space heater is right next to me so it’s not so bad.

We’ve had a few small shopping trips this week too, to pick up fruits, veggies, the newspaper and a dire necessity: chocolate! On one of these trips I saw a small bag of drink decorations and since they were bright & cheery (and cheap), I bought them to hang up in my studio. Little paper parasols! Cam thought it was a little odd, but I explained, that they are fun, I’m an artist so I’m supposed to do stuff like that :-), and Kathy, Christina and I had a great time finding stuff just like this at 2 am in our *huge unnamed bargain store* travels, plus, I just like them! Right now, there are three sitting on top of my computer.

The scanner is on the blink, but we’ll probably be getting a new one soon. Until then, it’s computer art again!:

..I’m still here!
I’ve not disappeared from the interweb forever. I’ve just been taking an unannounced break. I didn’t know it was going to be a break..it just turned into one. Hee.

I’ll be back to blogging soonish. Have been having lots of fun with friends and family, seeing movies, going out to eat, and buying major appliances and realizing that we need a new scanner as well, and walking dogs past moo-ing cows, being toasty in front of the fire, making soups and baking goodies, sewing hems in pants, and going halfway to an appointment this morning only to realize that it’s not till NEXT Tuesday, and making plans for today and tomorrow that should be LOTS of fun…will tell all soon!
