First Time in a Year

Journal Entry: Wed Jan 30, 2008, 2:07 PM

Today was the first time in a year (give or take a day or two) that I have actually painted anything. Oh sure I might have slapped on some colour for 10 minutes at a time once every few months, but today was a great day. It was quiet. I had a migraine so I closed the curtains (which was divine) and enjoyed the silence and no demands upon my time for 3 glorious hours! I may try to do this again if nobody has me do their errands. Maybe life can be normal. (*Looks around ouse. Listens*) Naaaah, not likley.

Its times like this that breathing is really pleasant.

Hope to hit up your galleries soon. I have missed out on so much.

Love to all,

mih-

Hello! My name is Angie. Your husband was filming at my job about a week or so ago and he asked all of the consultants that are on deviant art to check out your page. So, here I am to stare at your gallery.

Nice to meet you.

Hey Mih! I haven't heard from you since the Hellish UHaul/Microtel experience. What's going on?

I saw a quick glimpse of them!!! I will definitely check them. My comp died, my internet access died all at the same time. I just got done reformatting my HD (whee-hah aint THAT fun?!) and am slowly assembling my world again.
I will write again soon.

Oh my gosh! I am so glad to hear from you, I was going to call you because your blog had not updated in a month and it wigged me out a bit. I am SO jazzed about the "project!" Lets talk about the "Shroud."
i am SO pleased that you like the Pride Canvas.
I couldn't be any more blessed to know that you like it.

I will catch up with you soonish later.

Thank you Thank you THANK YOU so much for "Pride" *(I didn't know it had a name till I saw it in the gallery here!) Even moreso, after I get the canvas framed I think I am going to order a print of Shroud, I think it is your best work. REALLY GREAT!

BTW, that "project" I was on about and spoke to you of, is nearly complete for the first item. It's completely machined and made almost entirely of solid brass, copper and wood, so it's a big chunk o' steampunk. I'll send pics later when it's done.

Mich, I love you so much! I adore you! I just added a bunch of new pictures, Some mostly from the junkyard shoot. You should check them out next time you have a free minute.

"Personal Quote: I have stopped reading books. I find they take my mind off of myself.(I stole it from Oscar Levant)"

I love this. I've been finding myself more and more recently!

It's such a freeing feeling, Although, I'm not sure I'll ever truly find myself.

Haha, I didn't get this at first, and then I remembered my comment, Yes, I believe I am taller than you... But if I'm sure I know what the phrase means... I look up to you!

*mettleworks

Actually. I think you're taller than me(?)
