I am painting again and I have Phoebe and some strange man with a stick figure obsession to thank for it. We have put our artistic suits back on in this house and it is now covered in magazine clippers, cups of water, canvas, needles, ink, paint, and whatever else you can use to make something absurd. Phoebe has finished 4 pieces already. I am wrapped up in two works: one entitled "No One Has Been Knee-Deep In My Vagina In a Long Time" and my obsession, "Panty Man".
It feels so good to be sitting at work, thinking about painting. Dying to paint. I had an ex-boyfriend who loved my art. Thought of me as an artist (which I do not). Longed for my art. And then I had a husband who was better than me and therefore didn't recognize how much of myself I put into each piece. I went almost 3 years with barely working at all. I don't want to sound poetic but I feel alive again. Something that was gone came back. Like the cat who came back the very next day...you wanted him to go, he could not stay away.
It's good to have Phoebe here. We do different things in different mediums and styles so there's no artistic head-butting. It was nice to have her on the floor doing her thing while I did mine on the couch. Sound pornographic...and I like it. Welcome back paint! Try and stay out of my eye, por favor!
Speaking of feelin alive...I plan on feeling VERY alive around 10:00p tomorrow night at Nemeth's in Painsville for the Pussyfoot Girls show with Rambler 454 and Lords of the Highway. And then I plan on feeling very dead due to the very cheap, very secret PBR special that will be taking place all evening. I'm excited. I'm optimistic. I'm motivated. Things are looking pretty up in these parts, I must say.

I was at the Nemeth's gig Saturday night. Great show! The PFGirls were as always an eye-candy smorgasboard, and great at warming up the crowd for the raucous rock and roll that was to follow.
I went to the after-party at DAB's place only to discover that the rest of the guests had decided to head back to Cleveland instead. But no matter. DAB gave me a preview of some of the material that will go on the LOTH DVD including the "Head Hunter Island" clip that you and the girls starred in. Who knew you were such talented actors, and you dance just as good as you walk?
