What a day. The rain is coming down. It's 40 degrees F. Yet somehow...today is beautiful and full of possibilities. It's good to be alive. It's good to create. I think I'll get on it.

So we went to see Tori last Friday...and just let me say...It was the BEST Tori show I have ever seen! I mean she was on fire!!! The venue was fantastic. The opening act (one eskimo)was outstanding, and Tori was phenomenal. For all of you other worshippers of the godess Amos, I'll share the set list:

1. Give (Abnormally Attracted to Sin)
2. Beauty of Speed (Clyde- American Doll Posse)
3. Cornflake Girl (Under the Pink)
4. Starling (Abnormally Attracted to Sin)
5. Black Dove {January} (From the Choirgirl Hotel)
6. Glory of the 80's (To Venus and Back)
7. Pandora's Aquarium (From the Choirgirl Hotel)
8. Marys of the Sea (The Beekeeper)
9. 1,000 Oceans (To Venus and Back)
10. Landslide (Cover/Stevie Nicks)
11. Upside Down (Little Earthquakes B-Side)
12. Lady in Blue (Abnormally Attracted to Sin)
13. Bliss (To Venus and Back)
14. Police Me (Abnormally Attracted to Sin)
15. Precious Things (Little Earthquakes)
16. Strong Black Vine (Abnormally Attracted to Sin)
17. Body and Soul (Pip and Santa- American Doll Posse)
18. Big Wheel (Tori- American Doll Posse)

All of the songs were insanely beautiful...but Upside Down was otherworldly.
Can you tell I enjoyed myself?!

Cheers,
Heather

Going to see Tori this month!

I found my wood rabbit, last night. It was lost for three years. It must be a sign.

I haven't been here in so long. I have neglected my DeviantArtness, and I am soooo sorry. I forgot how much I love this site. I'm back. I have 1 1/2 weeks of this semester left of school. Yea! I am so taking the summer off. Anyway, I can't wait to catch up with you guys, and see your work. I have to go write a paper, now. Fun indeed. I'll leave you guys with some loverly lyrics.


"athena will attest
that it could be done
and it has been done  
and i think that i am up to it
and the jacaranda tree
is telling me of the trouble you're in
just by the way
she bends
remember dancing and wondering
as you were swaying
what kind of woman you'd be
"what will be will be" over my dead body
slip through your hand again and again"

There is no excuse for my slackness...laziness, lately. It has been the strangest summer. Last night was the first time I picked up my drawing pens since May. I truly need some inspiration...or a kick in the ass or something. WAKE UP BRAIN! WAKE UP CREATIVITY!!! Any suggestions on how to jump start the creative juices? I hope all is well out there in deviantland...
