Police Sketch Artist



FBI sketch of "D. B. Cooper", the unknown criminal who in 1971 hijaked a plane for $200,000 & jumped out of it with a parachute.
Info source: C2C, duh! 

More platonic solids



I've just been doing boring errand-y stuff. Yesterday I bought the fireworks glitter dress, made enchiladas, went to the library,  and checked out lots of Law & Order: Criminal Intent which I watched while making a paper pattern for the goblin puppet's hat. Today I did my laundry.

Last Night's Dream

The part I mostly remember was that I was playing improvised music on a synthesizer. I like it when you're active in dreams as opposed to just a viewer, moving through it.

I took nap just now

and now I feel groggy. Today we drove up to Petaluma to visit Stewart, stopping for thrift stores and in n out animal styles. Then we went to Bodega Bay to go swimming but it was so freezing at the beach. Still it was nice and our fun beach activity was to pick out tiny white and green pieces of rock. The sand was very rocky which means that it was a young beach. Then we got taffy. There was lots of driving but it was nice, for some reason it made me tired. Yesterday I went to see the eye doctor. Also random pieces of the gear shift on my bicycle started falling off. Then I had the flag making workshop with Travis and I made an "African Rave" flag. Travis made a dimensional cheeseburger flag. Afterwards I went to Dave's who was having a "kickback".

Haunted House




Today I woke up remembering my dream which involved me being a "war nurse" - we were stuck on the deck of this building that was on fire and were about to be engulfed in flames yet somehow in that magic way the dream shifted. I went to Larry's house in Oakland to work on:
1. a black velvet backdrop for the new blacklite puppet number
2. giant pumpkin leaves

On the BART home there was this very SF-peculiar type of transsexual - the kind that is wearing barrettes in its bob haircut and has weird half breasts but otherwise just looks like a total butch man.

I try to be ruthlessly anti-nostalgic

but I just got seized with an incredible urge to hear "The Fruit That Ate Itself."

Newsflash!

Practically in real time! I saw a midget today! Not the kind that you see on tv all the time, the squashy looking ones with big heads, but the kind that is just a small, small person!  He was Mexican!

Kano 7" Art.



How can this be so brilliant? Also, "Ahjia" = "Asia"?

This is stupid yet amazing.



It's called "Communication Medium".

so comprehensive, no bells, no whistles

Bike Adventure


I rode my bike to Green Apple Books today and traded in some books for "25 Cats Name Sam... & Holy Cats by Andy Warhol's Mother".  Hooray!  A middle aged lady, veering towards gothicness, told me I had a strong aura and wouldn't I like a psychic reading.  The Richmond is ethnic in a far more interesting way than the Mission.  I  also window shopped a fish store and a plant store.  In two separate incidents I almost crashed into dogs off their leash. One was a small yappy looking white precious dog and the other a Golden Retreiver.  So I am right that those are two of the dumbest kinds of dogs.  Why would an animal swerve right into the path of a large, swiftly moving wheeled contraption?  Don't they have survival instincts?  

UPDATE: Sorry if that sounded mean, dogs.  ALSO: I bought Pocky at the Chinese Supermarket, then played with a cat named Monkey at the nursery.  How serendipitous!!!???!!!
