Michelle Scourtos "Where I blow, out comes spiders. Where I step, a weed dies."

... it's a lot like last year

actually new work coming in the next few months - REALLY.

getting a head start on X-mas

since x-mas has just become a time to eat more. If I do that now, I will be free to do personal WORK this x-mas. fingers crossed, right?!

Move over Jesus toast...

I bled my heart out...

P.s. I had a memory of saying Elliot Smith bled his heart out when I heard the way he died. tasteless. I liked Elliot Smith.

I never thought that I would see this...

A piece of poop, casting it's own shadow...

HOW did this happen?

a day later - still!

There it is, in daylight on it's side:

...Still lighting at night.

"Just us"

An ode to the end of the night...

Second ACT is a magical place.

Lee tran delivered!

I went to a meeting a few years ago to say they shouldn't raise bus fares and that, if they did, they should add more spaces so that more than two bikes could be loaded at once.

I also wanted them two put those on the back of the bus. they said theft could be an issue. I proposed a real time security cam. extravagant, I know. still, this is a step in the right direction!!!

my childhood dream came true tonight...

My childhood dream came true tonight. I had a green one in High School but always wanted a black one...If I find a white one, ecstasy.

"deep" thought of the day...

Car culture and internet culture are kind of the same. think about it. I might elaborate.

can you believe

It's already Halloween at second ACT?

I set up the table today...

sidewalk

Not a conceptual photo title. not a joke. that's the sidewalk.

whoopie cushions and cars...

I sea I had two nights ago while almost running over a whoops cushion on my bike: what does driving over a row of whoops cushions in a car sound like? I'd kinda like to know. blast beat?

buffets are weird

But that's what my kitchen looks like when I am making food for the week.

It's August. weird.

I am really going to do other work. I got past my two month+ block on how I want to execute something and now it's time to get down.

bojack

Ok, so @ 6:13 in season 3episode 3, it sounds like that song off the bride screamed murder, right?

I am still WAY behind on making new work

But...

something I thought of long ago

And never did: weaving belts into a square and hanging it on a wall. Just want to see it. I think it would look cool. I didn't remember it until recently... might get on it late fall... REALLY.

more things related to "the bride screamed murder"

"Maximum dream for evil Knievil" and a song off of " the bride screamed murder" are also totally related. When I get my new laptop I will be tearing it up. I also have that other Match up to do. "Match - up" I am an old old lady. When are the generation of macbook pros coming out?!?! I might try it sooner. we'll see.

hulk vs. Bruce jenner

in the absence of Photoshop tonight...

I had to do this by hand (internet help...)

Poor Mich...

since my lady love has left...

My dying computer has prompted me to do some "from life" drawings that I have been putting off forever... and I wanted to draw the bojack limo pixelated...

Still not finished. I just missed the attention only a WiFi digital object could feign.

Dropped these off today

at Arts for Act.

CallME!

I am not the first person to notice this but this I just heard the muse song so, here goes...

Be Explicit.

I am not the first person to notice this but this I just heard the muse song so, here goes...

This part too. Less hypnotic though...

and, even though I was happy about the splicing, trying to make it more clear...

After doing this I saw this. Being late to the party is ok. That's why the post is called "Be Explicit"

Diva forever.

New tubes installed only to learn that I totally can't fudge not having that plastic bit so I do have to take it somewhere. Gdufhchcjfjvjvnchfb.
It's fine.

They are hot though...
Like

Hot. Bad joke. Oh well.

It's not God working in mysterious ways but it 's weird.

Two weird "religious" instances:
One - someone keeps leaving evangelical pamphlets around second ACT and today they raised th e bar by leaving some merchandise next to it.

The second strange thing was that someone offered me a pamphlet at the bus stop and then seemed to vanish after I refused it. I probably was just looking at my phone for too long before I checked to see how far they had gotten.

Yes,

You can daisy chain zip ties...

Russell Crowe SNL

The oprah skit at the end of the Russell Crowe SNL fulfilled a life long fantasy joke re: is it racist not to cast a white guy to play a black woman?

(by lifelong I mean since I was a teenager... )

Telstar

s I passed the local Mel's diner on my ride home, they started pumping "Telstar." I stopped to enjoy it and had the inclination to take a photo with my cellphone to remember the moment. A photo? Think brain, think.

overheard in estero

I just overheard my stepdad say to my mom, "You can't have a business where you are inviting people into your make believe world - it's not reality." I guess that means the entertainment industry is going belly-up.

someone asked me to

alter a cross off the internet in the following way:

isn't that the most badass looking bass clef you have ever seen?

If not, I'd like to see the more badass one.

I am no Amerigo

If I had bought this awesome chalkboard globe, I would have tried to fill in the countries on Earth, erased and re-drawn when I made errors, and titled it "I am no Amerigo."

One of the best jobs of all time:

working at a thrift store.

(A green vase placed in the center of an eye ball wreath)

more things...

that make me think of other things...

cosmic orbs

are everywhere.
(In case it isn't clear - that is a dried ball of play - doh placed on a found poster)

A gift I received:

I wonder if they were trying to call me cheesy on some level?

(it's the cheddar cheese soup in those rectangles...)

related to the nerd bouquet:

check out the Mother's Day card I made:

Isn't it cute?

Where is the animated "eyeroll" emoji?

Why hasn't that happened yet?

Something I wrote to a dear old friend re: personal evolution that I think is pretty true...

Part of what human evolutionary distinctions are based on are the tools created/used; I can no longer be a complete person (or at least Michelle Scourtos) without my laptop,

Play Rates.

A video I finished today.

Nerd Bouquet

Lanterns...

The cheap battery powered lantern I use at night makes an awesome eclipse on the ceiling...

wow, right? Also wow factor:

Jennifer Lawrence in the new X-MEN?

dissonance...

...in repetitive and catchy rhythms... Think about it... it's a

I sometimes (at least kinda) hit. At least I think I do (with respect to my sensibilities).

I made it up to Arts for ACT today...

The Tivo Quiros paintings in the back are cool. (there are more than just these...)

Overdrive

I will be making a collage with the same title featuring this in a bit. All in good time.

Best Gruyere Mac and cheese that I have made to date:

definitely.

(it's a rare occurrence for me...)

Needs a little bit more cleaning...

I have to clean some parts off and take a better photo, but, here it is so far:

deep thought of the day:

cherry flavored things that are also other things like cherry vanilla ice cream and cherry coke - YUCK. Cherry airheads, jolly ranchers, and lollipops - AWESOME. why?

photo from someone's facebook feed:

posted like this:

but, obviously should have been posted like this, right?:

(the back-lighting is going to make a big difference)

really. In a week they will be ready, in formation, back-lit, and looking more like what is in my head.
(ok, more like 2 weeks)
awesome!

phase 2 of 5

I need to add droplets. The other two panes have as many droplets (they also need more). I just cleaned this one up to see how it looked so far. They are also going to be lit from behind (can you believe I forgot to buy an extra light bulb - dunce!)

A few more days (I have work but I totally have some time between shifts!)
