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.

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. :-(

OMG I need a real life...this game has sucked my soul out of my nose with a straw, obviously.
Thanks for the good wishes! I'm a bit nervous but I'm also looking forward to showing off my stuff. I printed out the neatest business cards too...they have pictures of my masks on the back (I did some with the blue wolf, the copper Medusa, the ivy mask, and my firecat). They're like collectible trading cards now! I'm thinking my business card will be more difficult to forget with pretty stuff right on it, y'know?
