Incoherent Incoherence Incoherently

[greygirlbeast]

My insomnia's been getting worse again, which drags everything else down the shitter, of course. My work habits. My mood. My ability to tell if Drug X is dealing with Symptom Y. My ability to remember if I've taken Drug X. My appearance. I do not sleep, it all goes to Hell in a little rowboat.

And I have a reading in six hours. Before the reading (six o'clock p.m. at the Brown University Book Store; at least I get to wear a mask), I need to wash my hair, let it dry (NO BLOW DRIERS), make edits for the two stories for Sirenia Digest #59, layout the issue (including cover), and...stuff. Lots of stuff. How this is going to happen, I don't know.

Yesterday, what? Oh, yeah. Yesterday, I wrote the prolegomenon for #59, which went a bit long. And I read over and made line edits to "And the Cloud That Took the Form" and "At the Reef."

I consume virtually no caffeine.

I think my body has spent a decade forgetting how to sleep.

My thanks to the reader who sent me Richard Kaczynski's Perdurabo: The Life of Aleister Crowley, so now I can be reading about six books all at once.

Really excellent rp in City of Heroes and Villains last night, and I wanted to say thank you to stsisyphus, Mel, Enth'lye, and Blair. Yes, it would seem that ecsedi Báthory Erzsébet and La Bête du Gévaudan are one and the same, who now exists as an insane super villain with freezy powers, after being enslaved by Vlad Tepes who wanted to use her undead womb as a vessel to allow Nyarlathotep to be born into the world! Yeah, I know. Wacky. I'm waiting for the zombie unicorns to appear.

Here are four photos of Study #2 for Yellow. The painting will go up on eBay later this afternoon. The platypus is giving me the finger, so...later...

I LOVE that painting.

*covets*

Thank you.

Maybe sometime, when you're not so exhausted (and preparing for important stuff like readings!), you would say a bit more about this piece.

I can't stop looking at it - would love to know more.

I'm going to try bidding on it, but I'm sure it's way out of my league. :)

When I was working on it, I tweeted "I am painting a convulsion."

[kaz-mahoney.livejournal.com]

I like that. :)

It looks apocalyptic to me... I'm crap at talking about art, but I really think it's beautiful.

[kaz-mahoney.livejournal.com]

I just started the bidding - am ridiculously excited. Watch me crash and burn in a few days... Heh.

[greygirlbeast.livejournal.com]

It's all apocalypse.

[chris-walsh.livejournal.com]

Could that be a title?

[mizliz13.livejournal.com]

Love the painting, especially the quote. Those words will be haunting me for some time to come.

I'm so glad that part works. The text is the part I'm always afraid won't work.

[whiskeychick.livejournal.com]

I like the text best.

[lee-in-limbo.livejournal.com]

That's a very effective and evocative piece. Nice work.

And I have a reading in six hours.

Why the hell did you have all of us having you up last night if you had a reading today? It was a school night, young lady! Augh, I take no responsibility. Break a leg, though.

I'm waiting for the zombie unicorns to appear.

I'm sure Dust or someone could make that happen.

It's not like I'd have been sleeping.

I shall have to speak with him.

Beautiful, numinous painting. Mysterium tremendum et fascinans.

BTW, I read this article and immediately thought of you: http://gawker.com/5677345/how-a-dinosaur-got-inside-a-church

Mysterium tremendum et fascinans.

Thank you.

And the dinosaur story, I'd not seen that. Wonderful.

the artwork is gorgeous.

goes to Hell in a little rowboat

and its a leaky rowboat at best.

and its a leaky rowboat at best.

With no oars.

[martianmooncrab.livejournal.com]

and no life vest, plus there are THINGS in the water..

I need to wash my hair, let it dry (NO BLOW DRIERS),

I do the same. Sometimes it is wet when I leave the house because I'm always running late -- something that happened (my lateness) once I turned 40 -- and everyone is like, "don't you own a blow dryer?"

bah.

They ruin your hair, and I did mine enough damage in my twenties.

I stopped using one when I started abusing my hair with bleach and Punky Colors/Manic Panic all the time. That, and Mane and Tail conditioner (which you still had to get at the tack shop back then) kept my hair from turning crispy.

did you try lunesta yet? i've been trying the sonota again and the lunesta definitely works better. it makes me sleep longer though.

It's excellent. I love the inclusion of text.
