work work work

Hi. It's late and I spent the whole of the day on the TLB site, after all- didn't animate anything or work on jewelry (though it's only midnight, so I shall do that now- prep for resin-pouring).

I feel like sharing a sneak peak at the site, anyway- as it's ALL I've worked on for the past couple of days, and it's coming along quite nicely, I think. (edit: it's live now)

balance, upset

Had one of those days yesterday in which I got so much done, it was almost absurd. But today I just couldn't wake up! Slept incredibly late, and I need to have another getting so much done day! (I will). I don't seem to have gotten back on a sensible schedule since my return from Upstate, the farm.

Today (what's left of it) is for animation and for resin jewelry. I will make up for late-sleeping.
I will work into the night.


l a t e r :
I have been working at the Tara Lynne Band materials all day. They have now a blog, and an updated MySpace page. Web site will (hopefully) be finished by the end of next week. I have also to update the KE Haas Salon site, on top of about 8 or 9 other projects which will be ongoing for a few weeks at least. Whew! Busy.

Today I did a drawing of a rutabega (see above). A magic rutabega. (More on why later...) Oh. Oops-- turns out I've been spelling it wrong, according to Mirriam-Webster. It's rutabaga!

There is a mighty thunderstorm occurring RIGHT NOW! A beautiful summer storm, following several hours of that tinged purple sky and flashes of heat lightning. Gorgeous. (And I left the wine bar just in time so as to enjoy this storm from my front room, and not have to walk through the downpour!)

Ben is in Philadelphia for some meetings, he left this morning. I shall wake early tomorrow to catch a plane up to Rochester. Looking forward to seeing the family! And: meeting the new pup, Wolf; seeing the new barn, the redecorated kitchen, and the farm in green in general. I hope it doesn't really rain all weekend, as I'd like to swim and go riding (horse and bike!). We'll see. Will take lots of photos. Meantime there are a few from Fire Island up on Flickr now.

"Love is a smoke made with the fume of sighs"

Now that's a fantastic subject line.
The body of the email was pretty mundane, although its closing lines are equally poetic, in their way. To wit:

"Find me there and tell me a bit about your dreams.
Waiting for your answer"

Who writes this stuff? It makes you wonder how many among us (perhaps they give their job description as Internet Marketer?) are making their living in the industry of SPAM?

out of the fire..

Fire Island, that is.

One full week out there and you completely forget that feeling in your lower back that arises from being in front of the computer machine all day! Alas, after a single work day, it begins to creep back up the spine. I feel fairly certain I've caught up with everything, but some emails from last week and weekend seem to have disappeared into the ether, so if you sent on e to me and haven't yet heard back, send another post haste!

Hmmm. I thought a bit of typing might be cathartic, but it appears I'm not ready.
More later.
