I haven't slept much this week and here's why...
Random sharing of personal information...in case I die in a flaming ball of airplane doom tomorrow.
Ahh...I KNOW I had more crap to babble about but I'm tired and I have a ton of stuff to do today. Quick shout-out to![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
rumdiculous, who'll be back online soon, I hope. :-) Damn, girl! I miss our chats!
This ended up being a family project, as I needed both Greg's and Charlotte's input to finish it right. It was Greg's idea to make the clouds dark on the moon half and light on the sun half. I think I might try this one next time (if there IS a next time) with a red ribbon instead of purple...but I had fun with it and I LOVED doing the clouds. It's all Alfonse Mucha/Hokusai, y'know? Funny that those are my favorite artists. :-)
So, I'm taking this mask, my "dream" mask, the green man, and my happy accident Blue Wolf (the more I look at him the better I like him!) to San Francisco to show to Lahaina Gallery. Plus pictures of my Asian Dragon plaques (which will work nicely because I noticed a bunch of Asian-influenced art at Lahaina's website) as well as pics of the coolest thingsd I did this year (copper Medusa, Ouroboros, etc...) Maybe 15 pictures in all. You're supposed to keep your presentation short-ish and bring a range, so I think I'm covered. I sort of wish I could bring my watercolors too, because I'm proud of my style (my icon is one of my paintings), but I don't want to push it...I REALLY want the focus to be on the leather art. No one does quite what I do with leather, so I ought to take advantage of that.

So! Flying tomorrow. Brr. :-( Have I mentioned I HATE flying? Wha...only about a dozen times? *le sigh*
At least I'm not flying today. Weather system's coming through...the same one that caused tornadoes yesterday in the South. It's become oddly warm and tropical out there, windy as hell, and thunderstorms (in November! That hardly happens!) later on today. Snow by the weekend, so I'm glad I'm missing THAT at least.

Random sharing of personal information...in case I die in a flaming ball of airplane doom tomorrow.
Item #1... I LOVE sushi! I didn't think I liked it, but that must be because I didn't have any good sushi. Char has loved sushi since she was a toddler (she learned to use chopsticks like a pro when she was only two...it was adorable), but I was always sort of lukewarm about the stuff. Now, however, it's like I'm craving it. Damn, I love sushi! Especially the spicy tuna roll...the chefs at Fuji Grill makes it with some kind of crunchy stuff and it is awesome. I love miso soup too...the restaurant Char and I go to makes the most incredible miso fresh every day. Mmmm. *hungry*
Item #2... I learned a new useless trick when playing Okami...it's utterly pointless but terribly cute. When you're in Kamui, if you draw a Bloom circle around any of the local people (the ones wearing masks), they turn into wolves! This is incredibly cute when tried on children like Laika and the little kid in the snowball place, because they turn into magic wolf puppies. Aww! AND, if you draw circles around the fat merchants (one in Kamui, one in Wep'kir) they turn into...fat wolves! Too funny! Samickle turns into an especially pretty wolf.
Item #3... My brother just sent me a picture of his new house. I'm...having house envy. Ok, just look.
My house.
John's house.
See? He totally stole my thunder.
Item #4... OJ Simpson. The fact that this freak is going to do a television show (on FOX, nontheless. Which only proves that FOX is a whore, IMO) about how he "hypothetically" murdered his ex wife and her friend is disgusting and vile. It sounds like a joke from SNL (it's actually called "If I Did It, Here's How It Happened". Yes. Really), but it's not. He's basically going to confess and get paid for it. I hope every cent he makes from this horrifying display goes to the families he still owes millions in restitution to (but I'm not going to hold my breath). You have to wonder what this is going to do to those poor children? Can you believe that crazy bastard actually has CUSTODY? It makes me ill. :-(

ooh!! Good luck at the event dear God, don't crash in your plane!
I'm getting to where I crave sushi at random times. It's like one of those sudden cravings with no prompting. Just "la de da-OMG I WANT SUSHI NOW." Kind of like sherbert.
Dude. John lives in a castle. lol
Grrr. OJ Simpson. He has a karmic dept to be paid in full and it's not going to be pretty. >:(
I wanna chat too! Grr. *kicks Dell*

The sushi cravings ARE a little disconcerting...but at least that stuff's good for you. Holy crap I better not be pregnant... "@_@"
Here's what...you and I are SO going to Vegas to stay at John's castle (he's calling it "Chateau Masse") and we will hit the casinos and see some shows and get real tans. This is only a plan in its infancy but OMG would it not be awesome?? I don't know about you but I BADLY need a real vacation (not this wedding thing I'm doing this weekend, either).

If you were pregnant...I don't know what I'd say. Sorry?
DUDE I would love to see Vegas (and John's castle)!! Seriously I do need a vacation. Luckily I'm actually getting income so I could go somewhere. I've never been out west before. I'm intrigued by the desert. Plus ya know casinos would be fun to see. :D
