It may well be a lazy day. It has not been earned but it is in preparation for days that will not be quite so lazy. Over the next week I’m going to try to place myself on a… (ok, don’t fall our of your chair or anything… be ready for it) “work schedule”. Yup. I have tasks to accomplish! I have plans! I have insidious desires that will only come to fruition through the travailles and toils of my hands! My powerful hands!
Then Rowan and Heather have to take THEIR turn with the cart…
Doug Brouder’s website shall wait no longer! ilyAIMY.com’s redesign shall no longer languish in dust! The beauty that is my portfolio shall no longer go neglected! And I’ve got a festival website to design too!
Last Sunday, our friend Bambi came up from North Carolina. We knew she was exhausted but there are only so many Sheep and Wool Festivals that get to happen a year in Maryland… and actually… I think there’s only the one (excuse me – uncontrollable SNEEZING fit… ugh!) and well, 3 hours of sleep or not, we sort of had to go. Here’s the most relaxed sheep there be.
Ah – so much to do!
And the most Satanic sheep there be.
A good worker monkey shall I be, though perhaps not to fiercely TODAY since today is Saturday and it is a day for Star Trek marathons. Yes. Marathon says I… (unable though he was to pull his eyes from his computer… and yup… he’s opening Photoshop… indeed… he’s unstoppable).
Last night Heather and I competed in the Susquehanna Music and Arts Festival in Darlington, MD. I still don’t like these contests, as we’re generally pitted in mortal combat against a lot of other people that we know and respect, and in some cases, really really like. I don’t like getting into a competitive spirit with them.
Watching the sheep dog demonstration at the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival last weekend.
I finally got to see Danielle Miraglia play, and met a couple of other creatures that I’d been vaguely aware of as floating around in the same circuit. One guy, completely new to me, Jess Willoughby, wasn’t even in the competition proper, but was backing up Julie Clark. His persona, bass playing, and his presence lent a whole other layer to her performance, and I think he was who I ended up connecting most with after the competition.
He was just really an amazing player and an unpretentious, pleasant creature to be around. He really impressed me, and now my head is filled with the anguish of trying to figure out how to get a guy without a car someplace where he can open for us, just so I can see him play again.
Ha, after listening to him talk, I think he’d walk over burning coals to do it, too – if not just because we were in heavy mutual-admiration over one another’s music, he also was quite smitten with Heather. Hell, she IS a hottie.
