New Piece

I can't decide which one to glue down. Maybe what I really need is another faucet.

The Truth About Adult Tonsillectomy

I'm a bit bummed right now due to a $475 medical bill I received for a surgery I had recently - my first surgery ever.  Sure, the bill could have been for the over seven grand the entire thing cost, but I don't feel like I should have to pay anything beyond a co-pay for necessary surgery. Oh well.  The fact of the matter is, I don't have $475 dollars to put towards the bill for now so I will get started with 475 easy payments of $1.00 in the meantime. Oh yeah!

As for the surgery, I had my tonsils removed because

Onion Quiche - Delish!

Since I had my tonsillectomy (more on that later), I decided to cook more often and try new things in the kitchen. Starving for two weeks will do that to a person. With this new found appreciation of food (and I was already quite appreciative to begin with), I decided to be adventurous this week and try at least one new recipe - starting with Onion Quiche.  Tried it on Monday and it was so good, I made it again last night. Pure tastiness and very easy to make.  I altered the recipe a bit (increased the cheese; added seasoning; and used two types of onions, cooked until they started to brown).  If you don't have an aversion to onions, give it a whirl. It goes great with a side salad of bitter greens and a sweet dressing (I used a creamy sweet vidalia onion dressing - overkill, I know).

I Want One!: Botanic Gifts

One of these would look great on my desk...or in my house...or just about anywhere.  I would probably stare at it all day long.

I stumbled across this piece today and it caught my attention because I've been working on a similar project (all paper though).  *sigh* Now my piece doesn't feel as original anymore.  I don't know if this is by Terry Gilliam or if it's a homage to him, but I like it.  As for my project, I've spent several months looking for the main piece (a woman's head) and I finally found it a few weeks ago. Hopefully, it will be done soon. In the meantime, I've also toyed with starting an art journal.  Not really sure how that will pan out since I feel odd committing a good piece of work to a paper canvas.  It doesn't feel permanent and I'm afraid it will age or tear easily.  I think I'll just stick with cardboard.  It's served me well thus far.

I found that I could say things with color and shapes that I had no words for.
