I need happy pictures right now, I guess these will do





I took these the other day.  The sky was overwhelmingly beautiful so I ran down to the beach and parked my butt on the damp sand to take it in.  There are 15 more images here if you want to see them.  There were so many different colors and cloud formations.  Sometimes nature is so beautiful it looks fake; too good to be true.  I just kept thinking it looked like a painting and the pictures look like paintings too.  Clouds are amazing.  The top picture is my favorite.  It reminds me of a delicate feather falling to earth.  Enjoy.

Names

My arm is freaking out.  Twitching.  For twenty minutes.  Retreat arm.  Fall back.  Listen.  Don't cry.  Arm.  Stop twitching.  Stop listening to this.  Soft chords.  Lazy listening.  Sitting, reading.  Listen giggle.  Giggle heart.  New name:  Giggle Heart. 

Ta-ta for now.

To speak- length. 
Not taken,
not

undone. 
Intersect, maybe
not. Intercede it,

yes.  Post it. 
Please laugh.
Please

ease. 
This vacuum. 
Hurts with chill. 

Heats with something. 
In time.
Bye.

Snow stuffs

It was a gorgeous day here.  It's night time now and Grey's Anatomy is a rerun so I'm sitting here blogging instead of being outside.  It got so cold and windy and icy; the not so fun part of winter.  I missed the smell of flowers so I bought some today.  The potted Hyacinth I bought last week died already.  I'm a horrible potted plant mother.  They die so fast on me.  I got a steal today though, roses and alstroemeria for $3.99 at Trader Joe's.  Woohoo!  A bunch of flower heads fell off when I unwrapped them but oh well.  I put the blossoms on a doily so they look pretty.  One thing I love about Paris is that the roses bloom in the winter.  I have a picture of a rose blooming near the Eiffel tower a week before Christmas.  That still makes me smile.  Today's snow pics are mostly geometric.  Am I becoming structured?

There's a new shop in town, a print shop!

Hey fellas and ladies,
Like my art but can't afford original prices?  Well now you, too can luxuriate your home with museum quality prints from my Imagekind store.  Choose the size and paper and voila, they ship it right to your door!  The prices are fantastic with small prints starting at $15.66.  You also have the option of getting a print framed and matted, printed on canvas or even a greeting card.  
 



So that's enough of a commercial, lol.  So now when you see 'buy the print' beneath images you know where it leads; directly to the print listing.  I'm doing this mainly for google image searches and for random people who show up at past pages of my blog.  I'm very happy with Imagekind's quality and customer service.  It's a great company so if you do ever purchase a print, rest assured that you are dealing with good people.  My site contains multiple galleries, one each for photographs, drawings and mixed media.  Check it out :)  It's updated daily or whenever I have new stuff, which is often.   Have at it and thanks!

Bye Train!



There's something about the Milford train station that I've always loved.  This particular train is going to New Haven.  Riding the train to Grand Central takes about 80 minutes, maybe more, depending on whether it's local or express.  Milford is like this little wonder place that contains everything you need to both escape and be self-sufficient.  The official 'motto' or whatever you call them is "the small city with a big heart."  I just love that! 

Snow Beach Walk

It's snowing today so I took a walk to the beach.  I was the first one there, no tracks.

Then I fell, haha.

That's my fall track.

Just lovely.

Ahhhhh



I'm listening to Thicker Than Water, a Jack Johnson album I just got and was pleasantly surprised to hear G. Love on it, too.  He's an amazing blues/hip hop (sorta) guy.  He's hard to categorize which is part of what makes his music so fun to listen to.  They sound great together in this song Rainbow.  I can picture myself sitting on a cloud instead of my green grass rug. 

Alien Embryo


There's a hair on my scanner.  It's on the wrong side though.  So here standing opposite (swimming/being) are two of the same alien.  Same blood, different angle. 

Go


I have no
poem.  Not
yet.

I can't resist

the temptation to write a blog post while I am this loopy.  It's probably going to be totally obnoxious because I'm belligerent and giddy all at the same time.  Almost 24 hours of no sleep...I did this all the time when I was younger but now it seems like I've been awake for a year!  I'm definitely no insomniac.  Those people have it rough.  I was at the at&t store today to fix my phone woes and the man assisting me needed my phone number to access my account and I couldn't remember it. I gave him three wrong numbers...  He then asked me to write down my social security number so he could look it up and for a good minute I couldn't remember that either...  I feel  like I'm on drugs or something.  Drugs are probably more fun.  I don't really know cause I don't even take aspirin.  This is more of a boring blog post than anything else.  Sorry to waste your time and hype it up in the beginning there.  It seems strange to have set my alarm for 8:30 at night though.  I also just figured out how to use my newly downloaded alarm clock.  I linked it to a recording of a poem.  Hopefully it will wake me up.  Maybe I will dream of the poem first, that'd be cool.  I just double checked my alarm clock and noticed I had it set for am.  I can't even do the simplest tasks!  I would have slept for 12 hours I bet.  I helf off on buying a phone.  I was going to spend way too much money on a phone just because it's green.  I do things like that.  I might still buy it anyway though.  Not sure yet.  It is green afterall.  It has a sliding keyboard with letters on it.  I think they call that qwerty.  typing qwerty makes me feel like I am playing a piano.  I want to learn some piano songs.  fiona apple songs.  I want to sing to them.  I am boring you.  I am sleepy.  good day sirs.  (and madams)
