There was some talk on Facebook that I look like Jane Russell. To be so lucky. I have often wondered how it would be to go on a cruise ship and have an entire Olympic team woo me like they did in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.

Been a busy bee-moved house and am preparing for a rush of events for the new year. One in particular will be fantastic! On February 5th there will be an art show and martini party in honor of my work and the work of my new friends and colleagues, Brooke White and Lou Haney! 4 floors of martinis and deliciously inspired prints, photos, and paintings! The same weekend we will get to spend time with directors and producers of films we chose for the Oxford Film Festival! Hoorah! February 23rd (a painful day in the calendar of my life-the day my father passed away) my first solo show at the University since graduate school will open at the University Gallery and I will give a lecture on the work on March 3rd. To follow that I will be in Chattanooga for Evonne's wedding and then I may (fingers crossed) be in Venice Italy for the opening of Brooke's photo exhibit during the Spring Holidays. In April I will be jurying a show for St. Louis Community College at Wildwood and curating a print show at the Good Citizen Gallery in St. Louis. I think there is a conference in Chicago mixed in there, too. I will have to look at the calendar. Whew. My stomach is churning from all of the excitement and anxiety. Maybe I should find some good meds to help me through this.

Sadness Creeps

My cat Tullah is gone. She succumbed to the disease. I am very lonely in the house and sometimes I think I hear her and then I realize she's not here anymore. Crap.

piss vs glow

You are correct Mr. Gustave. When I urinate it does glow. I think the color has more to do with the vitamins I've been taking rather than me being a woman. I'll leave it for the experts if they really care.

Over and Out!

The holidays are over-meaning our "Fall Break Thanksgiving Combo" that Ole Miss allows in the fall semester. Better late then never? Ummm well...

While I was on this hiatus I did F*#@ all that I REALLY needed to do. Examples follow: grading, making art for my upcoming shows, cleaning the house, job searching, etc. Instead I farted around making a 3 color lithograph, framed 3 works for a Holiday Show at a gallery called Bozarts in Water Valley (actually this was productive) and I went to see a movie and drank a whole hell of a lot. Nice Holiday overall.


The movie I saw was the new Bond flick. Finally I was a Bond Girl!! Miss Fields!! My heart jumped when I heard it.
I also want to justify what I've been saying about the New Bond Man- Daniel Craig. He looks exactly like the sexiest man of all time...Steve McQueen. MMMmmmmm Bullit.

Here are some pictures so you can decide for yourself.

Back to writing the story for the Oxford Town and back to reality. 2 weeks and then next vacation. For those of you in St. Louis reading this I will be in town this weekend. I will be up for a show at the Good Citizen Gallery at 2247 Gravois Ave, St. Louis MO, 63104-2852. I think the opening begins at 7pm on Friday Dec. 5th. I will try to make it for 7:30. It's a 5.5 hour drive for me.

Eff a bunch of this shit

If I told you I need water, would someone please go and fix the water line that is absolutely fucking up my day. Thank god I have 4 toilets in this house so I can at least take a piss with no worries.

I phoned the water company. They told me to call the police department. What the? SO I did and the lady told me a water line was corrupt...corrupt? Was it in jail after partying too hard last night? I mean, really.
