The latest weaving caper is solidly underway and as previously reported, the beautiful red thread I'm using still doesn't seem to be breaking or even hinting at it. Sad weaving note: my weaving group on LiveJournal seems to be defunct. Too bad. I got some good tips from them.

The florist delivery man arrived today saying "I had a feeling I'd be back here". Today I was even out of bed when he came. lol Thank you, thank you, Schatzu!

My dog is a drama queen. Twice a year I have to strip her. It's no big deal... just time consuming. I use a special grooming tool to strip away her dead outer coat, leaving her footloose and paw-free for the Spring. You'd think I was killing her. Honestly, this is no different than having one's hair combed. She just likes to see what she can get away with. I finally showed her I meant business when I got her in a head lock between my knees. She finally gave in. Wiggle-worm.

Pandora.com has finally sussed out the fact that I like the Fall. Now if they would just quit playing Björk and NIN, I'd be fine. More "x"es to come.

I'm working with a mystery material on this latest weaving project. Tencel. On livejournal I've heard vicious rumors of it breaking easily. Don't know. So far it seems pretty sturdy, but I don't want to curse myself ahead of time by saying for sure. This week should see me weaving, weaving, weaving, before I load drafting table into Element and shuttle back to Northern Virginia. Yes. I realize the sheer thought of me having a drafting table with all of my willy nilly work is a wee bit laughable. I've never used it for drafting.

I feel the need to plug a movie. For those of you who passed up Walk Hard, GO SEE IT! So very very funny --- especially if you are at all into the history of rock 'n roll. It's kind of a spoof of Walk the Line and Ray, but a lot of other musician's stories seep in.

In other news from the art/music world, if any of you who read this have a chance to go see Bugs Bunny on Broadway, by all means, get a ticket and go to the show. This is a great production where a real live symphony plays the music tracks to various classic Bugs Bunny cartoons while the cartoons are shown on a big screen. Of course Kill the WABBIT, Kill the WABBIT! is shown in true Wagnerian style. The final treat for me (other than being in the great company of my nephews and beau) was being in the Richmond Landmark Theatre (otherwise known as the Mosque). The theater is a piece of art in and of itself with a great deal of mosaic work and gilded walls with scenes of caravans and distant lands.

Hello one and all. I'm back in my home town. After being in the sparse but comfy bachelor pad of my Schatz's for 2 weeks, I returned home to realize just how much *stuff* I have. I'm seriously thinking it may be yard sale time soon. I even managed to start importing *stuff* into my beau's place. Well, it's not so bad. The kitchen used to be pretty much empty and it's workable now. Otherwise, I have only imported art supplies into his space. That is excusable, I think.

We went to Busch Gardens yesterday. It was great fun. I had not been in years and really enjoyed the roller coasters. I did almost get messed with for no apparent reason by a park rent-a-cop, but that will remain a harmless mystery to me. We road the Griffon - a coaster that holds 30 guests per run (in 3 rows each 10 seats wide) and shoots down a tall slope at a 90 degree angle before shooting into an inverted loop which ends in a barrel roll. Soooo much fun, but I did have to close my eyes to get through it. The funniest bit was my fellow young passenger who asked if he could hold my hand through the ride. He ended up doing okay. Another stunner was DaVinci's cradle. It's a ride otherwise known as 1001 Nights. It never used to bother me and yesterday it almost made me pass out! This got me thinking that it would be cool to be able to make art that would effect the viewer much as a thrill ride does the rider. The only thing I've come up with is some type of epileptic light show. ... but no... I want something 2-D that would achieve it.

I have solved the mystery of modern photography thanks to an artist I encountered today. The way of the optical enlarger is no more, unless you are lucky enough to personally own one. It kind of bums me out, since it means the death of an art form, but on the other hand, I am very happy to know that my current form of photographic output is up to professional standards.

The time in NoVA is going smashingly well. I'm getting to explore the area and by and by am getting some artwork done. I have also found a meeting place or two for weavers, which is a real plus.

Tonight while walking the Mouse with my Schatz, I was bummed to realize I had missed out on making a film of a fantastically flickering street lamp in the area. Lo and behold, around the corner there was another with a different color scheme and sort of flicker. Tomorrow I shall have to remember my camera. Otherwise as far as artistic pursuits go, I have been experimenting with water soluable oils (if someone can explain that, I'd be glad) and got a new set of cheapie Cray-Pas, because the art shops here in the area do not have anything else but chalk pastels.

Today's adventure was hitting Dinosaur Land - a very secretive location that I was surprised to be led to. Where else in the world would I have gotten to be photographed sitting in King Kong's palm??? A lot of goofy fun. I'm extending my stay up here another week.

Sable the dog is finished and posted. The client is coming by tomorrow to review. I finished up the roses while still going for a folky minimalistic effect. I think they've stopped looking like tomatoes. I'm still getting used to exiting my usual off-the-chart color scheme, but am pleased all in all with my effort.

On Wednesday I'm going to Alexandria (Washington D.C. and environs) for a week and then some. I have no doubt in my mind about my complete Schatz who I am going to stay with. That will be a wish granted, but we'll see if I sink or swim in the NoVA environment. I've been generously supplied a copy of Photoshop CS3 and a Wacom tablet, so even if I am too chicken to explore the area at length on my own, I ought to come up with some good artwork. I'll have time to devote to dA postings again, and will keep my traditional camera by my side.

Now we'll just have to hope that Mouse does not decide that parakeets are prey. <Here's keeping fingers crossed>.
