Happy Half-Birthday Mom

So I realize that it is technically the 23rd...but how this works is...I just have to get it in before I go to bed...and to me...it is still the same day that it was a few hours ago...the tomorrow i spoke of yesterday if you will.

So here it is: My drawing du jour. I call it "Empathizing With My Abusers." Followed by a self-portrait which I call "Such A Cartoon."

I've been thinking about what the rules will be. I have a huge interest at present in creating rules for myself and then forcing myself to adhere to them strictly. I've decided that I have until the end of the week to determine the exact rules of this project...the 29th that is....also known as the early morning hours of the 30th. Until then, all I know is I must make and post a drawing and a self-portrait every day.

Last weekend I bought a toy at Borders called a Magic Mic. It's turning out to be the best $4 I've ever spent. It makes an echo sound when you sing into it. It makes me feel like a 3 year old who's having a rock star fantasy about the Little Mermaid. And when that little crab crawls up to me saying that I have no business singing so boldly because I'm not very good at it at all, I just look down at my red, yellow, and blue Magic Mic and wail away.

Today I wrote a song about my garbage disposal. My cat loved it! The chorus goes like: "When the going gets tough, the tough get going, but the garbage disposal dies." Maybe someday, someone besides my cat will hear it.

Oh and by the way...this is how I do my make-up everyday. Like, every single day. It's just my life style.
