Inspire Me Thursday’s topic this week is Uniqueness/DNA. My first impulse was to repost my digital art piece which features a latticework of DNA. Then I thought I’d repost this image about my birth defect. Then I decided I’d just link back to that (as I realized it wasn’t imported to the WordPress blog) and post [...]

dear diary
August 9, 2007 – 4:02 pm
Inspire Me Thursday’s “Dear Diary” prompt made me pine for the art journal I want to start the moment my studio’s ready. It’s such a powerful ritual, clearing that space. (I tossed into the creek some dried flowers that Mom had recieved in the hospital. It was incredible-like sympathetic magick- as I purge the junk [...]
CHBM Carnival #39 Striving
July 19, 2007 – 7:31 pm
I saw the simple, perfect one word prompt for the Crazy Hip Blog Mamas Carnival this week, and I felt some small thing in me come uncurled:
striving
It defines the whole of my existence lately. Aching inside for things to change and grow, to expand out of this cramped, folded state of being and stretch out [...]

The journal has always been my outlet of choice, but there has been a lengthy flirtation with poetry as well as the sturdy and well-bibliograph-ied art crit essays in school.

Part One is here.
Summer 2001 So we start hanging out, hooking up. We watch Oliver Stone’s The Doors with Kitty about 100,000 times. There are munchies. I am falling a little, and am scared. The timing’s shit. Mom’s bad sick, very bad. We’re preparing to lose her.
Kitty goes backpacking in Europe. Takes my favorite strand [...]
story of bu. and me. and our hair… part one.
May 23, 2007 – 2:27 pm
I half expected a handful of comments like “Bu’s a what?!” or “How/why did you marry a Republican?” But, no. However, the reference to our oppositional political views spurred some thought that maybe I’d do a Bu post. Then the CrazyHip Blog Mamas posted a carnival topic about how we met our partners, so the [...]
