Not just Christmas. My daughter turns 11 on Friday. THIS friday. Wow. I am so not ready. But i'm working on that. She is having an 80s themed party which is a no-brainer for me since that was my decade.
I'm also trying to paint. More than I should considering all I need to do for this party and xmas. I can't help myself. I don't know why I can't stop painting. I've been trying. I'm not fucking kidding either! I really have been trying to stop painting. But I find myself out here playing with my paints and whatnot.
So I do have something to show for that. I will post it in a minute and I think I will post it to my Etsy shop although I'm not sure i'm into the whole Etsy thing 100%. Still deciding on that one.
I think I will set up a flickr account though. Maybe a facebook account just for my art.
Oh! I finished the Chronology of Water! What a fantastic book. So inspiring. So disturbing. So image-driven. It is such a weird thing to almost feel envious of her story while it was so disturbing and at the same time I am so thankful to not have her story be my own. She is an amazing author. There is no other explanation for that. I guess what I mean is that I want those images to be my own. All those images she painted with her own words. I want them to be my own images to paint. When someone can write like I want to paint then I am astounded. That is a true talent.
Well, today is Winter Solstice! Yeah for Winter Solstice. I honestly say I have more interest in celebrating this than xmas. I don't relate to the whole christianity thing and find the commercialism of xmas a bit ugly. I do like lights and xmas trees and shiny things so I do have a bit of a contradiction crisis going on there but you know...
