My zen died.

The little stars were the herring fish That lived in that beautiful sea---

Another station, another mile

I started by dribbling paint on the board, then pasted a rejected fujiroid onto the board, and I'm still working on it... But they do look coralesque, don't they?

Up until this time we had been unable to communicate with Earth defense

Blynken met an untimely end.

May Angels Lead You In

"Wynken, Blynken and Nod one night
Sailed off in a wooden shoe,
Sailed on a river of crystal light
Into a sea of dew

Where are you going
And what do you wish
The old man asked the three
We've come to fish
For the herring fish
That swim in the beautiful sea
Nets of silver and gold have we
Said Wynken, Blynken and Nod

So all night long
Their nets they threw
To the stars in the twinklin' foam
Then down from the sky
Came the wooden shoe
Bringing the fisherman home

'Twas oh so pretty
A sail it seemed
As if it could not be
And some folks thought
'Twas a dream they'd dreamed
Of sailing the beautiful sea
But I shall name you
The fisherman three
Wynken, Blynken and Nod

Wynken and Blynken
Are two little eyes
And Nod is a weary head
And the wooden shoe
That sailed the skies
Is a wee one's trundle bed
So shut your eyes
While Mommy sings
Of the wonderful sights that be
And you shall see
All the beautiful things
As you rock in that misty sea
Just like the fisherman three
Wynken, Blynken and Nod
Just like the fisherman three
Wynken, Blynken and Nod"

I'm working on illustrating my own version of this lullaby for my grad school portfolio, the image is of the shoe in progress. I'll begin making the children out of sculpty tomorrow.

I could join the circus and you could sell your hair

I rarely use this thing at all, but its not because I don't have things to say- I just can't seem to say them. I'm trying to work on a new routine, getting up earlier, exercising in the morning and making art. And I think I should add this activity to my routine. So wish me luck.

Too much in my noggin

I wish I were less selfish.
I wish I were more selfish.
No I don't.

I wish I wasn't so tired.
I wish I could get a compliment from a photo professor that wasn't backhanded.
I wish I had better ideas about what to do with my life.
I wish I didn't have arthritis looming over me as a constant medical expense.
I wish I could've shaken President Papadakis's hand at graduation.
I wish I'd been more active in community service.

I wish I could sleep. Maybe now I can.
