I knew fresh direct was good for something...

I can imagine how thrilling these photos must be to anyone but me...

Making a very rough mock-up in cardboard so I can measure materials,

and for camera testing. So far the lens seems to be working.

The puppet ended up around 12 inches. Which is 1:6, so that's great.

Now i'm going to let it sit in the living room haunting me until I cut wood and sculpt milliput.

It's raining kids and cats and puerto rican oldsmobiles outside.

The Carnival

Columbine

So im about to begin casting for a female-impersonator

Long dark hair and exaggerated theater makeup is paramount.

"...little by little I am building my own beliefs, but they are all, though firm, very indefinite and unconsoling. When the intelligence asks, they answer well; but when the heart aches and begs for an answer, there is no support or consolation. With my intellectual demands and answers given...I am in the situation of two hands which would like to join, but the fingers collide."

-Tolstoy

Pencil and Paper

Applying for a grant in such short notice is something...

Also started working on a script with Max Conroy Thornton Hencke,

a black comedy that starts with an attempted rape and kidnapping.

...That's all she wrote.
