art fart
last night i got together with rachel & jen and we "made art." it was absolutely wonderful and liberating.
here's the deal: anthony's got a show coming up this weekend (on madge's birthday, no less!). they put on their website that there would be a slideshow done by me & jen & rachel. apprehension! despair! non-motivation! reluctance! & all that jazz. i was feeling scared, silly, i know, but threw myself into it last minute (of course). last night, in fact.
i was reluctanct mainly because slides cost a lot of money. and even more money to make prints into slides. like, $6 a slide. ugh. but then i realized that i had bought 4 flats of slides at a flea market near the beginning of the year.
they were inside these wonderful metallic boxes from a guy who had passed away. i couldn't bring myself to throw them out. it's incredible to me how much time and money he spent on them only to have them end up at a flea market. all his travels, all these images. that just might be where all my nicely organized negatives might end up one day.
sad, isn't it? everything changes. nothing stays the same. what's worth holding onto?
not one to waste, we're adding and subtracting to the images to make them spooky and quirky and beautiful to add a visual element to red room cinema's show. it's really interesting how different we all are in our artistic styles. i mainly add elements, lots of watercolor, funny quips on the scenes. rachel is more deconstructionist, outlining with an x-acto, scribbles with mascara brushes & flashes of color. jen flutters about, finally settling on a super detractive theme that leaves only small bits of the picture left.
i'm so. excited. once it's done, i'll scan them into my computer and share, but until then, we're in a mad frenzy of slides and paints and knives and really bad fumes from the old skool projector screen. seriously, it smells like a chemical lab in our living room. we'll make pacts to paint each other's iron lungs.

::POWER color::
sounds like power ballad. or power ranger.
| Your Power Color Is Teal |
 at your highest: you feel accomplished and optimistic about the future. at your lowest: you feel in a slump and lack creativity. in love: you tend to be many people's ideal partner. how you're attractive: you make people feel confident and accepted. your eternal question: "what impression am i giving?" |

cathartic lists to clear the mind & soul *cue cheese music*
- i am attempting to clean the house.
- i am hoping beyond hope that work will be cancelled tomorrow due to little miss wilma. there's another update at 9. *crosses fingers*
- i bought crystals cat litter. we're hoping it lasts longer than the regular scoopable stuff.
- i just bought this ring from the moma store!
- i'm not a big diamond person. diamonds are blood money. ... really, so much in this world is gained at the cost of someone else. and i'm not talking money. i'm talking blood and sweat and children and hunger. it makes me sad. i try to be strong and proactive in doing what i can to stop general world crappiness. there's just so much of it - it easily gets me down. gems can be beautiful, but i don't understand why they must cost so much.
- we went through this huge jewelry mall in china last year - all i could say to anthony was, "these rocks are so pretty!" because really, that's all they are. rocks.
- anyways, here's a neat site, too - recycled jewelry. a lot of it isn't my style at all. it makes me want to get into jewelry-making. (no more hobbies, kim!)
- my head is hurting. maybe a glass of wine will help?
- i got an email from my friend michie - i gave her a bag that i had made for her ordination and she took it with her to san francisco. apparently, people stopped her on the street asking where she had gotten it.
- "I mean, seriously, strangers on the street stopped me to ask where I had bought it!! I've taken it to work and now to Richmond and Charlotte and everywhere I go people are asking about it!!! So, yeah, in all your free time, you make a whole bunch more of those and sell them on the internet and I'll get you some buyers.... that's what I'm sayin'.... My point, dear heart: Thanks for the effin' awesome bag."
- makes me want to drop this pharmacy bit and do more craft! why, oh why, can't i make a decision? maybe once i research organic chem things'll become clearer.
- went to ceviche with saad & rachel on friday. went through 3 pitchers of champagne sangria. can we say, yum?
- anthony saw their advert in the weekly planet. it's a goya painting.
- he said "goya? oBOYa!" i could not. stop. laughing. we are dorks.
- the place has the most awesome tapas. it made anthony and me feel that maybe tampa wasn't so super crummy after all - there are little gems here that we don't even know about! of course, we're hermits and never leave the house - maybe that's the problem. ;)

++ halloweenie ++
let the picture regurgitation commence:
(sorry, i'm bad at narrowing photo choices when it comes to sharing)
i heart halloween. i heart decorating for halloween. i heart eating halloween candy & chocolate. i heart skulls. i heart anthony (who i discovered had a crush on me on halloween). i heart pumpkins. i heart knives.
more skullz. note the prince of darkness figure hidden in the background. i heart tim curry.
those goopy insides are so fun to scoop! (way better than kitty litter.) i heart roasted pumpkin seeds.
mmm... mulled wine... we got those champagne flutes from the thrift store. they say "2000 celebration urology/dermatology sales." hahaha!
damnit, mary jo! move your hand! (shown w/ new boy - brian.) : )
hey, cute boy, chomp!
lumberjack vamp!
lumberjack vamp hearts chocolate.
domo arigato mister roboto... -pumpkin
jen's brian's pumpkin. terrence & philip or pac man?
you decide!
she had stars in her eyes...
brian's pac man ghost!
this is a fetus. this is a fetus carved into a pumpkin. this is a fetus carved into a pumpkin with a wire hanger wrapped all up on it.
anthony wanted to write "pro-choice" on it and deposit it back on the church lawn.
my cute (unoriginal) pumpkin. i totally used a stencil.
and well, here's me taking a photo of myself. when you're holding the camera, you're never in any pictures!
hrmph.
much fun was had, much candy was ingested, many pumpkin seeds were strewn about the (thankfully covered) floor. huzzah!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
and in other news:
i got a 97 on my chem test.
wtf? i am seriously good guesser. i am still in shock. (and i can already hear anthony saying, "i told you so.")
may potentially become a supervisor @ my job. actual title & pay raise to follow in what is sure to be 5 months.
: p

bad news:
i have a 6 page paper due on tuesday (as well as the test). i'm a slacker like that.
i think i'm going to do really poorly on this chem test coming up.
we're allowed to drop one test... i was hoping it would be the final.... but the way i've studied (or rather, not studied for this one.... i'm thinking this'll be the doozy.
i just need to get my head out of my little yellow butt and get over this chemistry block. get over it, kim! study, learn it, get the grade. simple, oui? oui.
but first, this test.
then paper.
then test again.

what. the. eff.
sex. with. dolphins.
a few choice tidbids for your reading "pleasure:"
- Zoophilia is best described as a love of animals so intimate that the person (and the animal) involved have no objections to expressing their affection for each other in the sexual fashion. This is not to be confused with bestiality, where a person forcefully mates an animal, without their consent, and with no mutual feelings whatsoever. This is something that I would never do to a dolphin, since I love them dearly, and treat them with the same respect that an honest husband would have for his wife and children.
- WARNING! In the considerations of safety, you should NEVER let a male dolphin attempt anal sex with you. The Bottle-nose dolphin member is around 12 inches, very muscular, and the thrusting and the force of ejaculation (A male can come as far as 14 feet) would cause serious internal injuries, resulting in peritonitus and possible death.
