There will be feasting and dancing in Jerusalem next year

There are a few freelance designs up at Tooth and Nail Records under the Feature Products (mewithoutYou, Jonezetta, Starflyer 59) and at SolidState Records as well (He is Legend).

In other news, this wasn't used, but I'm now doing a little series on kid cosmonauts.



Cheers.

adventures in eschatological fun

i felt very zombied all through thanksgiving. tomorrow starts the last full week of my undergraduate career. i'm not bummed by any means. i welcome the diploma with tamborines and dancing. i have my cowboy boots ready to wear with the robe, which i will be acquiring tomorrow. how appripo for such a time! nashville, graduation, christmas = celebratory wearing of cowboy boots. my mother wasn't too thrilled with the idea. i'll be wearing them daily until the 16th. i also might be lying about this.

good to see old friends in memphis. carly. lisa. kate. carly's bitter sarcasm at kate's wedding shower made time go smoothly, sidekicked with the jobe family alcoholic concoction i kept drinking in a nervous habit. these nervous habits i notice at too late of an hour. hand me a styrofoam cup and in an hour it will be tiny shredded bits of snow. maybe this is a creative trait- i'll do some wikipedia-d research. in other news, wikipedia is my home away from home, metaphorically speaking.

bravo, boards of canada, on the newest record. you adequately fulfill the duty of excellent background music. always, always. you never fail.

on to studies. may i surface on the other side, tassle to the right. or is it the left?

cheers.

sacred harp singing, melancholy combat, and children's book illustrations

new painting. further displaying my albatross/dawn treader affinities.

i went to a sacred harp shape note singsong this afternoon post church service. it was the most haunting and intriguing thing i've done in a while.
brilliant.

friday: went to virago with colson and co. spent most of my time watching the d.j. delighting in his selections. no thanks.

the early autumn, pre winter blues have already tried to infiltrate the way they do. i'm trying my hardest to keep my gloves raised.

the crickets are deafening. its a pretty evening.

love to all.

werewolves, lonely heart, and miscellany

introduction: this is composed of detached phrasings, mostly. and a multitude of runon sentences.

listening to bach's the musical offering in my warm lit room; i was alone in this creaky house last night.. the werewolf * didn't revisit his previous evening's resting spot (i.e. outside my window), where, for hours upon hours two nights ago, he howled like a creature dying an agonizing death. there i lay in the stillness of the night, my conscience in a battle between the goodandbad, contemplating my strong love for animals vs. the burning desire to kill this animal. i thought of ways, many- wondered about gun licensing, if hitting the werewolf with my car would constitute animal cruelty, and if it did, wondering if my litigative attorney of a father could plead my case if ever it went to court. and, if i did kill it, would i have any remorse? remorse is often haunting to me. would I have to repent of such actions in my prayers? though preconcieved and evil plotted, i was ready to end this dog's life.

good thing he hightailed it, because i was putting on my hunting gloves and polishing my b.b. gun- yes, the very same one i was aiming in his direction.

lori left this morning. for seattle. for ever. thousands of miles of distance does intimidate me so. what a dear friend.

autumn is steadily approaching. soon it will be the season for coats or embraces. i prefer the later.

i refuse to let my surroundings lead me to loneliness. my heart is emotive, saturated with love and deep concern. the flames of wick burning, the hiss of needle on the turntable, breezes brilliant in the evening..

lets pray for these better days.

and for the sinking city of the big easy.

love and song and wonder..
