can I tell you how much I hate this background on my site, but I like the menu on the left. I need to see if Aniket can fix this for me. AHH! PINK!

Merc and I spent our evening making sock monkeys last night. I love them! What a joy to create a sock monkey. You see them around all the time. I love them. I even embroidered a heart on mine. They are are so disfunctional, not your typical store sock monkey. I will post pics when I upload them.

Going to kick myself into gear!
Wrote some of my lesson plan today.
30 classes of teaching teenagers art. YEAH! Going to be such a great year!
Going to go home turn on some music and make art!!

Last night we had a birthday party for one of our friends. It was a success all in all.
So I live in Austin, TX and right now the temps here have been in the 100's the past 2 months straight. We are also suffering a Severe drought. Needless to say the grass is completely dead and everyone has a beautiful glisten to their skin. Anywho, yesterday I was sitting by our makeshift bar outside, we had  purchased a handle of vodka the previous evening. It was sitting in the shade of our trees. I guess it got a little overheated. It exploded. Glass and Vodka all over the bar! Crazy hot! I thought someone was shooting at us.

It seems like all of my friends have birthdays this month. I am not really a person who goes out a lot and everyone is having a party. I missed a friend coming over last night for dinner, so I made him a picture. here it is:

This is a wonderful lyric from a Bob Dylan song I was listening to yesterday. Also a new Mozart Concerto was released to the public yesterday. Busy day. My car stalled this morning. I got it to work again, but I have no money to fix the problem, I also have a few cavities, but I have no money to fix those either.  Being an artist during an economic crisis is hard.  


you can listen to the new concerto's on this page:

Attended a friends wedding reception Saturday. It was great! Just a reception because they got married in Jamaica. Plenty of Red Stripe available. It reminds me of how wonderful it is to get  married, but a little awkward. Having everyone stare at you (and it's not like being on stage in a play) it's different. People are looking at you (happy for you and usually in a generally euphoric mood) Cutting the cake, having your first dance, walking into the room and seeing everyone, staring at them staring at  you. I believe when I do get married, we are going to emphasize the awkward moments until they are so damn uncomfortable they are no longer awkward (then all that's left to do is laugh and dance your ass off) :)
