little bits today...nothing extraordinary

I competed a new painting today. This one is for the annual Bowling for Rhinos fundraiser for the American Association of Zoo Keepers, the local Tampa chapter.  It is for the silent auction.  I have contributed one of my paintings every year.  Check out tampabayaazk.com for more details on Bowling for Rhinos.

Now I am back at the story, having had a rough week work wise (only because there were a few doubles worked.) I had a fine time actually doing the work itself and singing duets to the radio with co-workers, horribly I might add. 

Currently I am combating a headache with a beer.  My first wave of attack was broken by the headache's patented spartan defense.  Usually Excedrin proves an excellent commander of my forward troops, but he was off his game today. He was all like "this is madness" and my headache was all like "This IS SPARTA!!!" and kicked him into a pit.  So backing him up now is Hefeweizen UFO, a wheat beer brewed by Harpoon Brewery in Boston, MA.  Picture it* like the "Sucker Punch" girls just infiltrated, oh, and one last thing...  The beer is quite good and is succeeding in pushing back the headache's evil forces. This is allowing me to write a sad scene for my Dragonfly Lord. I am into chapter 9 and making another forward push this weekend.

*using the phrase "picture it" reminded me of Golden Girls- Sophia: "Picture it, Sicily, 1922..."

p.s. X-Men: First Class was quite an enjoyable movie.  There is a scene when the x-men are training when Erik (Magneto) is asked to move a satellite dish, and the moment is simply wonderful. I might have teared up a little. But I'm a sucker for the "becoming" moments.

    I'm a zoo keeper. I currently work with Rhinos and it is awesome.

    These are my random observations about the world...and I do mean random.  I write about what catches my interest and my imagination. 

    Just as a note: There is the possibility of the occasional curse word. I will not overuse - but those words have power when carefully placed.

To become truly immortal, a work of art must escape all human limits: logic and common sense will only interfere. But once these barriers are broken, it will enter the realms of childhood visions and dreams. ::: Giorgio de Chirico :::
