From The Mighty Boosh, best tv show ever.

I’m trying to train myself to keep the right side of my desk clean so that I always have space to draw. Apple 197 was enjoyed while reminding myself to clear the clutter. apple 196 was eaten as an apple sauce that I made in my crock pot. I had it with corn on the…

We’re heading up to Seattle in a couple weeks so I made a Google map of all the galleries I could find. Enjoy! If you know of any more, please let me know.

I took a two day intensive workshop from Nicole Gibbs through OCAC this weekend. We drew like crazy. By Sunday afternoon I had amassed a large stack of drawings. Our goal was to fill all the walls and we definitely did it. We even filled the walls in the hallway outside. The goal of the…

Thomas Doyle makes miniatures of odd, dreamlike scenes, displayed under glass domes. The materials used are what you’d expect to find in a devoted model train hobbyists studio. In each piece, Doyle has frozen a moment in time — captured it like a specimen, shrunk it in size and offer it up for us to…

A huge blob of arctic goo has been found floating through the Chukchi Sea off Alaska’s coastline. Nobody knows for sure what the gunk is, but Petty Officer 1st Class Terry Hasenauer says the Coast Guard is sure what it is not. “It’s definitely, by the smell and the makeup of it, it’s some sort…

I got an unhappy report from doggy daycare. Mississippi does not play nice. She’ll be just fine, playing well with the other dogs and then all of a sudden, she gets her sights set on one of the dogs and won’t leave them alone. She plays too rough and tries to boss them around. I’ve…

I started running again. My legs are still rebelling but they are slowly coming around. I’m training for a 10k in September with a friend. I’m using the Jeff Galloway training program. It’s been great to have a training schedule, especially one that’s pretty easy. My longest training run is 7 miles and my daily…

I am ga-ga over Amy Stein’s photo series: Domesticated. There are few shows that I see that get my heart pumping like this one does. The work is both beautiful and sad. She has taken the humble snapshot and turned it into a group of powerful photos that serve as a spotlight on our relationship…

We are always curious of Mississippi’s origins. Sometimes I really see the Border Collie in her but sometimes I don’t. She a similar size and shape to a border collie but has much more prominent clavicles, she’s a little longer, and her frame just feels a little heavier. There is one border collie I see…

I love these cups and I want one. They don’t offer much more than a regular coffee mug, except for the fantastic silicone lid which would help prevent my frequent spills. They aren’t travel mugs because they don’t close completely, but they are so wonderful to hold and I love the clean look. Tom says…

Apple 182 I’m on the South Beach diet which has a fruit ban for the first couple of weeks or “phase one.” Because of my resolution to eat 365 apples, I have to make an exception. I ate this apple with some fat free laughing cow soft cheese. Apples 178, 179, 180, and 181 The…

Tom and I got married 11 months ago and in that short time I have gained somewhere in the neighborhood of 16 pounds since then. I finally stepped on the scale and was absolutely horrified. I’ve been flirting with doing something about my weight gain but the scale thing was a serious wake up call…

Hi Mississippi, we’ve had you for exactly three months now. You are a serious pain in the butt. You are constantly messing with our stuff and I’m tired of fighting with you over the rights of the garden. I give you plenty of vegetable snacks, you don’t need to be ripping them out of the…
