Pop rocks, blood, and tears

In the last 24 hours: Kitty eats rat poison, boy who likes you that you don't like that way who you just told that to falls into a window ac unit, best friend breaks giant lcd television in your home.

Like whoa.
I just want to be riding my bike.

I could stare at this all day.  No, really.

I keep experiencing this phenomenon that startles me awake in the middle of the night.  It must be a reoccurring dream, but I just wake up thinking I'm somewhere that I'm not.  I pop up like a board, and I have to physically re-orient myself to the time and my location.


It's starting to make me worry.

I'll soon be naked

(I think I have the first part covered)
Never in my life has every single thing felt so shaky beneath my feet.  I understand all the stock phrases,  but still, this is a terror of a place to be in.  I'm going to take it all out on the lake front trail, because that's my only solution right now.  Maybe I'll fall into the lake and turn into an ignorant little guppy.

Today I was on the toilet watching a spider spin a web for like ten minutes.  Then I burst into tears.  Life is so weird it makes my brain spin.  Also, I'll probably get a prolapsed anus now.

Summer is still good (ay great), but the fingers of fall are beginning to take hold.  They are mostly in my head, because I tire easily of the social strata.  They are there nonetheless.  I long for the cool gusts of crisp air and the endless hours of reading.  Well, today, I do.  Maybe, on that day, I'll be thinking of the warm winds of July and tanned skinned friends.  Humans (especially this one) are fickle creatures.  I just can't imagine shoving more fun and good memories into this Summer than I already have.  I guess that makes me a very lucky gal.  On a serious note:

Two projects worth reminding myself about...  

1) Zine series titled: "I Can't Afford to Get Sick"
    Issue 1: STDs
(Convince S to draw someone looking into their pants incredulously for the front cover)
Read scholarly articles
Identify community resources

2) Fun with Flavor - Kombucha
Find another glass beverage dispenser

Whole fruit - ginger + blueberry
Chai - cinnamon stick, cloves, cardamom
"dark n stormy" - ginger and a little rum extract
lavender
lime basil
Raspberry - whole fruit

Giving Free Reign to his Dark Side

"Fuck them is what I say, I hate those e-books. They can not be the future… they may well be… I will be dead, I won’t give a shit!"


And so the future approaches without a great man influencing the hearts of children young and old.  This morning one of my favorite childhood author and illustrators died.  Maurice Sendak was an awesome guy.  He cared about people and he understood that the world is a scary place that mostly doesn't make sense.  He wrote children's books that made parents uncomfortable.  He wasn't afraid to be honest with kids and tackle tough topics in his writing and illustrations.  Sometimes life is sad and unfair kids, but it's your responsibility to find the good in it.  Maurice Sendak's work no matter how sad or fantastical always showed an awe and appreciation for life.  He also never apologized, and I can get behind that.
