I haven't put away all my clothes yet.
Finishing the closets has been on the top of my list for days, but I'd much rather catch up with True Blood.
gulp...

"Black and White Snake Shield"
Oil on Panel; 24" diameter, 2006

❝A funny thing to do is, if you're out hiking and your friend gets bitten by a poisonous snake, tell him you're going to go for help, then go about ten feet and pretend that *you* got bit by a snake. Then start an argument with him about who's going to go get help. A lot of guys will start crying. That's why it makes you feel good when you tell them it was just a joke.❞

house on the brain

ryan dodgson, one of my favorite illustrators

I'm house hunting yet again. We haven't found the right nest and I'm getting antsy. We have 1 month left until we have to leave the little box. After the great flood we were in a search frenzy, but we put those plans on hold after a few things happened. Now it's on and I'm not excited about it. Me and the misters both want a lot for our money but have yet to find something that titillates and satisfies our needs. I just want to send this shot to a Realtor:

where does your heart lay?

Joseph Cornell's The Heart on the Sleeve

According to google, "People who wear their heart on their sleeve express their emotions freely and openly, for all to see. Those who wear their heart on their sleeve do not hold back their emotions, for good or for bad. It is clear how they feel in each moment."

You're pretty spot on here google, (for once). I am sensitive, a romantic and very emotional at times. Adversely, If you're a piece of crap to me, particularly a passive aggressive one- I'll let you know it. I will openly fawn over and profess my love, or give you a back the fuck up look and sass. I held back on releasing some fury on someone today... but my sleeve was pounding.

I don't think watching back to back episodes of Hoarders is good for my mental health.
I have dust bunnies in the brain.

great find:His Royal Highness Husayn Kamil

This regal fellow needs to bestow in my humble kingdom.

Husayn was the son of Khedive Isma'il Pasha, who was ruler of Egypt and Sudan from 1863 until 1879. He became Sultan of Egypt and Sudan after the deposition of his nephew, Khedive Abbas by the British.

get along like a house on fire

Ben Grasso painting

Things are seemingly tranquil on the outside.
But looks can be deceiving.


I put in my resignation this week. After a long deliberation, I have decided to make a move. Although I'm not there yet, I've taken a few steps towards my short term goal. My goal to be happier. I don't want to get all douchebaggy on here but I'm feeling like I made the right choice even though I love second guessing myself. I'm relieved and excited for a change of pace. Change is good whether it's what you had in mind or not.
