I’m still going through old papers. a couple of years ago I painted some favorite family stories. In this one we have AuntMurble (in orange. I always draw her smoking even though she quit several years ago) and AuntAbides (in the tutu) as children.
The story was that, she got so angry that she threw a fork at her sister and, for a second, it stuck, right between the eyes.
I realized when I was coloring it in, that I had drawn the story wrong. AuntAbides threw the fork. AuntMurble was forked. right. between. the. eyes.
It still makes me laugh whenevery I go through my papers. I call it The Reverse Jenny. and it was just a regular sized fork. I just loved the idea of them tossing about the giant fork and spoon that hung in the kitchen for years.
I don’t even know where to start. I call this ~masterpiece~,
tumbling alone with bacon salad.
you may remember, I was really hungry last night, and I was threatening (promising) to eat my way through every kitchen. I was mentally trying to MacGyver an actual meal before I filled up on cookies and triscuits. and then, “Bacon Salad!” and I thought this was hilarious because I just meant I was going to cook a couple pieces of bacon to mix into my dried cranberries and pecans and greens. and then I thought, “I must tell tumblr, I’m having bacon salad but, I mustn’t tell them how little bacon I’m using. No need to make the tumblroos uncomfortable and sad.” and for the rest of the night I couldn’t stop thinking about a giant bowl of bacon with salad dressing* on it and laughing with it in the darkness. typical Tuesday for me.
I’ve been making myself test different drawing applications lately and it has been difficult. Last night was my first test with a really basic app that came with my drawing tablet. It helps if I have a really dumb idea to draw. silly is my fuel.
up next:
orgiastically unfing bacon, as a tumblr family
When I was visiting my grandmother we went through some ~important art~ that she had transferred to new albums
This might be my first documented attempt at communicating that I am not a cat and possibly my first afternoon butt blogging.

I guess I always have and always will draw strong confident talking animals.
gingeredjess asked you: Take a picture of-
40. Something weird. Or, you know, whatever you want to photograph. Like a bear wearing a tutu.
40. I think I share a good deal of my ‘weird’. So much so, that I was at a total loss of what weird would even be, and I was losing light. So, here is a drawing of a bear in a tutu doing a Bearouette.
Thanks Jess <3
This morning, when I was typing and driving and wasn’t awake, I knocked out a few more planner entries. A few days ago, when I decided to do this, I went back and left notes on each day and when I feel like I know what I should do, I sketch things in. These aren’t done, but it was a good session and I’m ridiculously proud of that Bane back break drawing. I’m a little worried I’ll lose it when I add color. so scanner party.
As I started filling in the pages for this week it was becoming more and more clear that I should just glue down the yellow post-it that says Tater Tit & American Gods. I can’t do better than that, not even if I used all my colors. I would watch that. I would read that. I think I’m living that.

I haven’t been using my planner in a traditional manner. I recently made peace with the fact that there is a shit-ton that cannot be planned right now. And not getting lists of things done and having to rewrite them over and over on different days was not going to be good for me. So. for awhile. I just wasn’t writing anything down. A few days ago I started putting something in each rectangle. Conversations, or things I did that day, mostly silly drawings.
Basically a tumblr on paper.
If I’m able to fill most of the days, it will have been a good year and a good use of this planner.
and instead of planning I’ve been sticking a tiny tiny tiny post-it note on the cover with 2-6 (tiny) tasks that I want to get done. when they are done. I just throw that post-it away and start a new one. It’s felt pretty good so far.
The Claire’s directions to the ZipLine Station
GO LEFT JENNIFER
TAKE ANOTHER LEFT AT THE GOAT
GO PAST THE DRAGON
THEN HANG A RIGHT AT THE UNICORN
YOU WILL SEE A TUNNEL MADE OUT OF BAGELS
THE ZIPLINE STATION IS THERE
And the Idaho Zipline Station has zipcars made out of waffles. Indestructible waffles.
I think these directions lead to my garage
I think these directions are a test of focus and determination
I’m bringing the goat and the dragon with me.
