I've got the ashes of a beloved cat that I still don't know what to do with. Maybe I could mix them up with clay and turn him into a sculpture or bowl? Hmmm.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm pretty sure you get special dispensation, Jilli. Due to the spooooky.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I, um, actually think those are kind of nifty.
I wondered if that was your former roommate. Wasn't there roadkill art? (Or maybe I'm thinking of a play I did that had animal bones and such in sculptures).
I should be going to an opening night party in a couple of hours. I'm feeling disinclined.

Bwah! Okay, good to know. (Oh, and can I use that as a tagline?)

Nope. Former roommate doesn't do ANYTHING near as elegant. (Aaaaand, looking for barking mad former roommate's website shows that the domain name is up for grabs.)
Seriously, I need to see what this person charges for commissions. We're getting Dread Beastie's skeleton back (all cleaned by a professional) in the spring, and we hadn't decided how we want to display him. (Yes, I had always planned on displaying at least his skull. Yes, I know. I am an odd girl.)

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I love skeletons, and making art with them seems perfectly natural to me. But when I say things like that out loud, people look at me funny and pull their children away from my direction.

Heh. "Little Timmy is the perfect size for that empty corner in the living room."

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I noticed that watching that DVI episode as well. It really was all about the outcome and not at all about his drinking. I don't think that has ever been addressed again in the episodes I have seen. Though I came in really late to the show so all of the repeats are new to me and I don't always know exactly where I am in the show's timeline.

snuggles up to Jilli and coos over the precious skeletons.
I like skeletons. Perhaps it's something to do with being an anthropologist, so much of what we learn comes from them. I think the embellished ones are beautiful.

Yay for Tick DVDs! The skeleton sculptures are kind of riveting.
I can't text fast enough to make it worth my while, and no one who would text me can either, so it works out nicely.
Shrimp, roasted potatoes, and asparagus for dinner. Yum. Now I go back to organizing/cleaning my room. I made so much progress yesterday. My clothes closets look amazing. This morning, everything was clean, hung up and not wrinkled - it took me a long time to pick out an outifit because of all the choices. So sad.

Ha! I've found Rosie's super-seekrit hiding place! She's gotten into the habit of hiding in the mornings until I leave for the day, which really sucks for her on days like today when I don't leave. Yesterday she hid until 4:30 or so. Tonight she justcame out because I turned over the furniture she was hiding in. The swivel rocker that I thought had a solid bottom has a hole in it that is 7-8" in diameter.
