Panda Mushroom Cloud! Yay!

My home computer, the pitiful PC,  has betrayed me and stopped working.   I'm too distraught to be witty, so just watch the cartoon below.

While you're at it, enjoy these images too,

Since I still haven't heard anything my raise...

That's not true, I got a "we work something out" last week.  But since then I haven't heard anything, not has the bookkeeper, which means no research has been done as the raise.  So, in my passive aggressive way I am rebelling.  By working on notecard invites to send to friends for all the fabulous future parties that we'll be hosting.
Here are the two I did yesterday;

I think they would look cute printed on small index cards with a "hand drawn" map on the back.  And the usual info, time, date place, etc. of course.

Going to the subject, the cause of my angst, the raise, it looks like I have to bring it up once again.  Motherfuckinsonofbitch.  Don't get me wrong, I'm pleased that I've been so ballsy about the whole thing and that I'm willing to pursue something that I want.  But no real progress has been made other than acknowledgement and the "promise" that something with be "worked out", whatever that means...

*le sigh*

Childhood memories finally accurately remembered!

Art by Joshua Hoffine has given back my nightmares.  Thank you!

Another book to add to my wish list

Best possible coffee table book evea, Dissection: Photographs of a Rite of Passage in American Medicine 1880-1930

It's only $30 on Amazon, and wait until I have something celebrate, then I'll get it.  Top image from NPR, lower image found on Amazon.  

New favorite site!

 Who Killed Bambi.   Of which a fair portion is NSFW.  I decided to just post deer related images.

Another book to add to my wish list

After we've recovered from the move, and our expenses level out to pre-move amounts, I will acquire this

Junko Mizuno's new art book.  I feel giddy already, I think I'll a pill...

I would also like to get ahold these JM condoms... so could proudly display them in my new home.  In some place of obscene honor.

que bonita

This deserves to be made into a t-shirt, or a brooch, or something!

New painting

Speaking (writing) of therapy, I'm working on a new painting. I'm still putting off the painting of actual people, I haven't even tried since... since I was a teenager. Good god, and it was with oils, and two really shitty paintbrushes that would leave little nylon strands everywhere. Anyway, I had the brilliant idea to paint bug silhouettes, since I like silhouettes and am terrified of bugs, and the level of skill to paint a simple silhouette is within my range. Granted, I've only spent about 20 minutes working on it, which really means it's no where near complete, but I hate it already. My other reason for the painting was I wanted to put more stuff on the walls. I was hoping that would diminish the pressure, since it would just decorative and not "art." But when I look at I think about how childish it looks, that it's not smooth enough, not bold enough. And rather than think of it as kind of sketch of what I want to accomplish, the beginning of something, I all I can see is how horrible it is and that there is no way to save it.
So my solution is to get all Valium-ed up and take another crack at this thing. And then, when it's finished, put it under the couch where only the rabbit can view it. I like to think of the space under the sofa as my gallery.

How I get to work

A girl can dream, can't she?

By Mareike Auer.  Look up her stuff, she sells really cute keychains.  

How did I feel over the weekend?

Two valium later

I feel less like a squid in a human suit.  Or an octopus in a girl body.  I found this image on a very cool site, with what I think is a very original idea,  bioephemera.

It's by Dave Rau.  Anyway, now I have a new site to covet and envy.  It has got some of the best images ever, I think M will love it.

 

I don't exactly approve of the of the Die Bunny  objective, but it is  Junko Mizuno's first game....

I've found the gang I want to join

I think this is some involved in the initiation( and yes, I know it's by Jamie Hewlett and not Japanese, but it's still really cool, just like the Black Tight Killers)

I also know that it's incredible lazy to keep posting pics, but I swear I'll write something really cool the second I get a chance.

Redundancy

I know that this occupies my blog sidebar at the moment, but I must emphasize this.  View the Junko Mizuno vid, because she's so cool and you've got free time.

In case you're not familiar with her work...

You can see how great it is and why I've been following her work for almost a decade now.

Fun with projectors

This is from the MuTate exhibition in London




They also have pole dancing robots. I find such great things at Sex and Blogs
