this is little man, by the way

Little Man companion

 Notebook #7
 I created a companion for little man.
 Little Man's friend is very pensive.
 They have wheels for feet and two feelers at the top of the head, very emotional creatures.

A x-mas present from the John.  I love handles,especially metal ones and this one has two.  Although I have not permanently attached it to anything yet, I find myself making a button a day, sometimes even two!

sail away with me...



perhaps it was the long hard day at work or just the anticipation of wanting to come home but this WASSAIL tastes superb. Superb.  Superb.  Hmmm...that reminds me of the film Empire Records.   Lucas...yeah!

18th century posters





This is what I am talking about!  I LOVE how everything is laid out and the intensity of the bold print words.  I am going to attempt something similar today and see how it goes.

The Bells, The Bells

There is a church less than a block from where I live and everyday at noon, a bell rings--most of the time it rings once, then twice, and ends in a trio of resonating sound--but today the bell is late.  The bell has no religious value to me but I have developed, what one would call, a dependency.  Noon.  Noon noon.  Noon noon noon.   

Sitting in what I call silence (the freeway hum, roaring planes, and ambulance sirens aside)I stare at the cable box clock blinking an orange 12:02.  I have a theory that the bell is actually hand rung because the dings (is that what you call it?) are always in a different succession.  Imagine a priest or father, maybe a nun, setting  her alarm for 11:48a.m. so she can stand beneath the mouth of the bell and pull its ropey tongue.
