oh cut-out filter, how i love thee!!!

i've been wanting to do some kinda comix thing using my digi at the dogpark, and then running it all through photoshop to comix-ize it.

my main hurdle is coming up with a storyline/plot. i have NO IDEA what the story should be. should it be about the dogs? the people? maybe from the perspective of the wildlife, like the birds, or that screetch owl?

there are so many possibilities, it boggles the mind...ok, my mind...

i suppose at some point relevant to time, i will have more of a vision....until then, i'll just be over here, playing with my filter....

fun weekend!

i did a dogpark walk this weekend with 2 other dogowners! i was very stoked about this, as it was sorta my first time. i mean, sometimes i wind up walking with people once i get to the dogpark, but not as a pre-planned activity....
this is the only shot i got with all three dogs.

i met up with bex, an old friend from umass, and her yellow lab, harvey. bex's friend tracey and her dog gertie posse'd up with us at the smith voc plant sale, where oddly enough, i ran into my uncle ed. i have no pictures of the plant sale, the three of us, or even of my uncle ed. what i do have is a pict of the farmer's market, where we went afterwards.

later on i dropped my mother's day present off to suzanne, and saw kinnon standing....always worth a second showing!

i also exercised my creative muscles by finishing the cover to neil's birthday present

and finishing the ephiphanied last-minute touches to my CRAB MALICE submission

what a happy camper i am today!
pssssstnat! i hope you recognize the lettering from the king speaking in katamari......

blindsided by syncronicity

i could NOT believe the shirt sage was wearing yesterday. didn't i just mention what the @#$%& do we know? yesterday? and how that ties in with the whole a new earth thing, and then in wanders sage, essentially wearing a shirt emblazened with the crux of it all. do me a favor, will ya? not that you necessarily owe me or anything, but ponder that thought there for a moment....

for the past month, give or take whatever time increment you will, this GIAHUGIC plane has been flying over the dogpark area pretty much every day i've been there....

this is feeling a bit too xfiles for my liking, if'n you catch my meaning....
also-also; stephen fry is the man.
that is all.

chapter 10

when i was living westside, i fell in love with cherry blossoms. now that i'm back eastside, i think i prefer the apple blossoms. they're so beautiful......

last night was the last class for A NEW EARTH

poor eckhardt....didn't mean to catch him napping on the job.... and for some reason oprah looks like she's praying as she reads from the book...

i've really enjoyed this "class"-thing that oprah had going. it's been kinda cool to know that monday nights are going to be a bit more esoteric than the rest of the week, or at least you could count on them to help stimulate the little grey cells, as poirot likes to call them... the other part of the experience that i particularly enjoyed was concepualizing how i was at home with just tess, yet simultaneously participating in this class with over 250,000 other people around the world! super surreal to process...(which actually isn't so great, b/c a big part of the book is about maintaining present moment awareness; my bad). i guess there was such a great response, she's gonna do some version of her radio show on mondays now... what i REALLY wish she'd do is a class about what the #%&*@ do we know?. it's my personal opinion that the film provides an explanation of the bio-chemical backdrop of the quantum mechanics that support eckhart's philo-psycho-theo-logic theories. who knows? maybe that's down the road and i just don't even know it!
so....i wanna let you all know there'll be a small change comin' down the pipeline here at guettagirl. the store is gonna go bye-buy (i'm always thinking i'm funny like that...). although i'd had big intentions of selling somma the jewelry i make outta there, we all know it just never happened. what seems to be happening instead, is that i'm starting a dog-walking service; weelux. i don't know when i'm gonna have the name changes reflected on the site, but after today, all dog-park photos will be posted in the "store". hopefully, at some point in the near future, this will read; weelux. i am at the "mercy" of my computer-guru who lives westside, and is actually quite busy with real, paying work....(see APE DO GOOD for further details)
for today, however, i'm gonna post hamp dogpark picts here, as has happened "historically"...oh,hey, if you hear me litter my sentences with "historically", it means i'm trying to bully you into my perspective.....but not at this moment...at this moment it IS the relative truth, from a "historical" perspective, that i HAVE posted all the dogpark picts here, as the archives are my witness!!!

cinco de mayo eastside!

that title is UTTERLY DISLEADING, a true case of bait and switch....i did nothing to celebrate the mexican defeat over the french today, but i did need a title. i am having some tribulation as of late, in coming up with titles for these posts....i don't know why, since they can be completely random. no one's making me have titles that have any relevance whatsoever to the actual posts....although, if you've ever tried to be totally random, it's more difficult than one would think. i've found this from beading... now, maybe it's me, since i do have a thang for patterns, but whenever i try to be totally random, PATTERNS EMERGE ANYWAY!!!! my weekend was spent with malice and geraniums. i have been propagating a slew of geraniums from the 3 plants sporty asked me to take care of over the winter. this weekend the time was ripe to put them into some proper pots. it was kinda nice to watch all the rain from the window while potting plants. this is some sorta leftover from when there was a cable car that crossed the mill river for workers to get to the state hospital. doesn't denver look demure in this pict?

the monkey man!

he looks content in that car seat with that bottle, but once that bottle's gone his main objective is MOVE! MOVE! MOVE!

my brother came over for dinner last night and brought kinnon with him.

at first i thought kinnon looked like both his parents at the same time....then he kinda looked more like tully.....last night, i thought i was seeing more of suzanne in his face....

well, ok, obviously he's got mostly the monkey-man look about him
