how is it possible that i can constantly be at war with my own damn self? i am always of two minds, no matter what the question. i can't remember the last time i agreed with myself. and also, cara doing crossword puzzles at coffee exchange.

my grandpa was totally a trooper when he was in the hospital. i love him.

this is specific and general. it is true that i have been waiting around for a very long time for things to make more sense than they do. so, maybe i'll stop with the waiting and start with the ignorance, the oblivion, the distraction.
also, most important life questions i pose to my dog before actually embarking on any type of answer-quest.

interacting with my family on thanksgiving has reinforced this notion for me: it won't ever stop, huh? there is going to be this battle with everyone, inside and outside, forever, because we are two forces each, and we are forcing towards each other.

this is totally typical of my grandma. she is still unconvinced that i don't have a clitoris ring. the next logical step up from tattoos, i guess.

the deep-rooted knowing and the surface denial.
it is not the first time that i've beamed knowledge straight into my head, even if this isn't me and even if that isn't my knowledge.

dyads. dicots.

it is safety and also the thing you should run from.

two small comics. you'll almost definitely have to click on it in order to read my skritchy writing.
mostly, they are about how hard it is to be me. an undertone, maybe emphasized by my willingness to put these on the internet, is that maybe some people find me charming and not just a disaster.

here is a poster i made for Cutie Pies, an excellent local pie business. not to advertise on my blog, or anything, but if you're in the market for pie, check them out. plus, maybe if they sell a lot of pies, they'll let me make them another poster.

on the way to visit eleanor's family in cape cod, my car hit it's 111,111 mile, which was a remarkably emotional moment, for me.

a code? a feeling? mattress springs. a point of contention. a confusion. something vague.

something is happening again. actually, some things are happening, again.

oh! election day! i feel very good about this day, now, but before the election was over, i was very stressed. i woke up and yelled at my sweet dog immediately.

an accidental homage to providence, which is a place i can only accidentally honor. the view from out my studio window on a day when the sky was painted exceptionally well, and the day before it rained only on one side of the street, which is important but i'm not wise enough to know why, yet.

my friend dereck, at coffee exchange, holds his cigarette very specifically.

my birthday party was one of the most beautiful nights in the history of the entire world. we drew beautiful things on each other's skin and i floated above all my friends in blissful (whiskey-enabled) happiness.

small things from under the ground make the best soups, no?

not a sketchbook drawing! oh, my goodness. this one is drawn out-of-book, and is actually a small free-standing triptych. it is about the past and the dead and some possible answers i've brought into existance. and it is very tiny and almost definitely you won't be able to see most of the details very well using your computer screen. bummer.

That monster is less good than he looks. Plus, a dare.

A very sweet moment with my grandpa when I went to visit him on long island. Plus, a tall and roundy lion and the danish word for him, thanks to my recently returned from the north friend, Matt.
