1. I made a terrarium. I went to a terrarium-making birthday party for a friend and came home with my very own fishbowl full of flora, complete with miniature house and mushroom. I can now space out and stare at the terrarium's landscape every morning instead of just staring at the cereal box.
How about a close up?
We've got some Irish Moss in there, and a little moss blob to the left, in the back yard of the ceramic house.
The terrarium is made of a fishbowl, some rocks, charcoal bits, dirt, more rocks, and tiny hand selected plants. I am obsessed! My friend Jenny is a terrarium expert and sometimes will even sell you one already made.
Easy!
2. I finished this pet portrait of a lovely dog named Restaurant last week, and had it resined (as always) with the ladies at Robot Candy.
Thanks to hand model Katy Davidson.
Tiz the last portrait I'll finish before completing my book! (knockonwoodknockonwoodknockonwood)
3. CONFIDENTIAL TO WATCHERS OF THE AMAZING RACE:
Did you see the Amazing Race this week? It was brutal and amazing that the "Dating Goths" U-turned the people right behind them: The vicious cheerleaders! Jaime and Cara could be so nasty, I was of course glad to see them go, BUT I found out that the Goths'd had 11 (ELEVEN) hours to get from the pit stop to the mandatory flight in China, and their fellow race-mates were miffed that they were given only a 30 minute penalty for missing a mandatory flight. What do you think?
Also, what's with the "you're still racing" pit stops? Are these in place so the producers can keep favorite teams racing even when they come in last? I'm so confused.
4. NEW Advice Column Up (for adults only), covering questions about placenta etiquette, cougars, radiation and more.
5. I'm reading with Sister Spit on Monday! Also, I'm reading at SmallPressPalooza on Monday! Two shows in one day. Different things at each show. Please come out! Monday March 28th. SmallPressPalooza is at 6 at Powells, Sister Spit is at 8 at Holocene.
6. A little spotlight for you on some of the people on the Sister Spit (/Mister Spit) train coming to Portland:
Amos Mac and Mari Naomi
Amos Mac is a photographer and co-founder of the trans male quarterly magazine Original Plumbing (OP to you).
He does brilliant portraits and author photos, and took this photo of me a couple of years ago as part of The Creamcicle Project for our friend Rhiannon Argo, in which I look much more dissatisfied than I do in real life.
......Right?
MariNaomi is an artist from San Francisco who has just released a book called Kiss & Tell: A Romantic Resume Ages 0-22, and has been keeping a fantastic comic tour diary here.
They will be joined by Michelle Tea, Ali Liebegott, Myriam Gurba, Kirk Read, Blake Nelson, and special guests Matilda Bickers and Chelsea Starr.
Get tickets for Sister Spit here.
Over and Out.
Good Day.
p.s. Wishbone got ten (10!) teeth removed exactly two weeks ago. Way to go, Wishbone!
