Weather, zits, writing, and the plumber

The weather is miserably cold and it is almost April. So glad to get out of the Midwest. It looks like it may be one of those years that switches from winter to summer without a real spring. Spring and fall are the best seasons here and they usually don’t stick around for long.

I’m waiting on supplies to arrive so I can make large batches of the the new multipurpose powders. Vaguely anxious that no one will like or want them. I like them so I assume some others will too.

My skin has been quite bitchy this year. Little tiny zits keep appearing and annoying the hell of of me. I can’t decide if my skin is too dry or oily. It may be oily because it is dry. I don’t know.

I’ve been reading the Wayfarer Redemption series by Sara Douglass. I like it. It’s not great but it’s good. I missed reading fantasy and it’s good to have something new to enjoy. I never could write good fantasy, but I do enjoy reading it. I can only really write porn, erotica, horror, and absurdism fiction. I am very bothered by how little writing I do in my day to day. I’ve never really submitted more than a few stories. I’m not very good at writing but I think my stories are worth reading.

I’m waiting for the plumber to come and it annoys the fuck out of me.

Peaceful

Sitting alone in the living room. Listening to the birds and the reef tanks. Not in a bad mood, not in a great mood. Just thinking about my life, the future. What needs changing and what needs to happen.

My birthday is today and that’s ok. I turned thirty. I remember I was eighteen I didn’t think I’d live this long. I celebrated over the weekend with my friends and had a lot of fun. Drank absinthe and sake. Ate expensive cheeses. Ran outside to stare at the supermoon and was impressed by its glow.

Lots of anxiety, insecurity, and stress but I don’t much feel its weight right now. I have stuff to look forward to. Stuff to do. A cross country move. Shopping for a car. Thinking about a tiny little store. About photos. About music. About books. Movies. So much to do.

what all zombies need…

Is mini brain necklaces! These are not finished yet. They need to be drill and sanded. I can’t drill them until I receive a drill part in the mail.

resin brain

Here are some photos of the big resin brain I made. Pulling it out of the mold was a pain in the ass but I think it turned out well. These type of brains are too big to make into pendants, so I plan on releasing them as paper weights/decor. I’m going to make some that glow in the dark, some neon ones, as well as some glittery pretty ones. So what do you think?
