there's really no excuse

i can think of several films that SHOULD have received cult status by now but... haven't.
i don't understand it but i'll try my darndest to correct it. throw your pre-conceived notions of pride out the window and lose yourself to ridonkulous tongue-in-cheek joy.

Death Becomes Her (all in 5 minutes) - 1992




Teen Witch ("top that" rap scene) - 1989




Cold Comfort Farm (theatrical preview) - 1995




Xanadu (final musical number) - 1980



shut up and enjoy ;)

grog

it's early. and my brain feels like mush.

here's something amazing:

Synesthesia from Terri Timely on Vimeo.

mucous and the many exotic flavors of "ick"

all work and no play makes jess a dull girl.

too much sick and no well doesn't do much for me either. i am just now shaking the last clinging globs of mucous from my innards, following my first visit to the doc since early 2007, apparently. lol. ahhhh... antibiotics - good for battles against infection... BAD for healthy digestion and bowel movements. more than ye wanted to hear? yeah... sorry.

in the meantime, my recent attachment to the couch/period of immobility left me restless and i have been a busy little bee drawing and doodling and such.

the following is a product of said immobility:


...and the funny thing is, about the same time i was sketching this lady out, my mom was procuring a wonderful beetle-in-repose (a.k.a. DEAD) in a lovely little petri dish for yours truly! and it is the EXACT same species as the one i randomly chose from my insect field guide! how surprised i was to suddenly find myself in the possession of a lovely little guy who was the spitting image of my doodle-bug-lady!!! o, my heart did swell with joy :)

and it feels GOOD to be well again and back to join the crowds of you "living" folks :D

p.s. i love my mom so much. and not just cause she brings me pretty dead things... ^_^

winged beasts and birthday presents

today is my wonderful co-worker, Sarai's, birthday... and because Sarai loves bats i made her a little batty-vignette for her wall at home.
i gave him to her yesterday. she promptly named him "Ralph". :)


on a separate and/or similar note: here is a recent drawing featuring a girl and her egyptian vulture. it's called "vulturific".

...poor little duo - i'm having such a difficult time finding a frame for them!

my buddy...

...helps me keep my mouth shut when it is wise to do so.

even though that doesn't help much...
