A little poem that came to mind, partially inspired by the window and partially by reading great prose.
The sun knocks on your window selling sunlight by the pound
But you tell him 'we don't want any today'
You draw the blinds and light your pipe
And he will slice the smoke to show his gripe
He'll try to sneak between the blades
He's like the tomcat at your door that mews and rolls around
He noses at your fish and licks your milk
But leaves you naught but worry
Sooner or later you'll be sorry
You let him cuddle in your silks
And so it is with all these shabby rakes
They lap your sweets and leave sully in their wakes.

Dude.. This just happened and it was hilarious. Nick and I were cuddling and there's some construction going on outside..
“You are the weirdest girl I’ve ever met”
From the workers outside the window “Jamie’s gooot a gun”
“Except her”
“I don’t think he’s a girl”
From outside “Sure looks like it from down there!”

Okay, so my all-in-one printer is already a piece of crap when it comes to scanning, but on top of that, after I had tried to use the scanner back home and install its drivers, twain drivers just plain dissapeared from this PC, and even the printer's original software can't find the scanner part of the printer. Luckily, Photoshop has managed to hang onto some rudimentary WIA drivers, but alas, they scan horribly. Not to mention my monitor is way too bright so I can't adjust the image properly, either. But I'm so proud of it, I'm posting it anyway. Captain Sig and her trained seagull, Gottlieb (Gotty):
I used this neat brush that comes with its own water supply, and it was lots of fun to paint. Pencil and watercolor. (And yes, this character is based on my Halloween costume.)

Mississippi is a fucked up place. There are flowers blooming. Yes. Now.

Reckoner from Radiohead's new album In Rainbows makes me feel so awesome. It's like flying. I find myself imaginining all the songs being colors because of the name, and this one's indigo-turquoise. If you still haven't spent as much as you want to pay for it and listened to it yet, do so!

I'm going to try to do some cheap icon comissions, and badges if anyone wants them, too. The icons will be $5 each, the badges $10.
Here's three icons I did for Abyss (who got them for Cestal):
  
For each icon, I do a large version which can be cropped/resized to the comissioner's wishes. I haven't done any serious badges to show here.
I'll only actually take any of these if I can get five to start with - so leave a comment if you want one, and I'll put them down on the list, first come, first serve.

Man, I saw a freshman at school today wearing an "I heart LJ" t-shirt. That made me feel.. Old school. Factoring in that all I've been playing for the past month has been Magic: The Gathering: Duels of the Planeswalkers and just installed Diablo. ONE.

Also, I'm curious. Can harmful drug habits be interpreted as a mating ritual intended to demonstrate to the potential mate just how strong the male's immune system is? Smoking, after all, is often percieved as erotic; perhaps it's not the lip action on a little stick, but really a statement of "look, I'm doing stupid dangerous shit and I'm still alive!"

Hoping to get some advice on this (my saying that will probably cause people to not even see this, ever) before I ink it.

| BIRD KOOL FIFTEEN |

Aforementioned dead bird painting. Usually don't like painting small, but there's definetely something to be said for finishing in about four hours and being able to fit the damn thing on the scanner (and it dried real quick since the sunlight was going at it). Yes, I know the brick is crooked. Fun fact: I found that cigarette butt lying next to the bird at about the same angle to it, except reversed, which inspired the stilllife almost as much as the bird itself. Another fun fact: this was painted in three different light settings (sunset, overcast, and tungsten bulb), which is why the shading & shadows make absolutely no sense.
I am really hyped about going to college all of a sudden.

Where is my social bunny, goddamnit?
Found a dead bird, took it home for a still life. The painting's halfway done.

BTW, on the cards: I'll be perfectly willing to make it a trade for a print or a sketch, just lemme know what you'd like.
