Speaking of tides, I've lately found myself overcome by a wave of sadness. I'm realizing that the rip tide has always been fairly close at hand, but only recently has it begun to drag me under. It's okay though, I've got books to read, ideas to write, and a bicycle to ride, so as long as I never lose sight of that shimmering surface, I don't think I will drown.
Sadness is like a virus, there is no cure for it besides rest and patience. Its source is fairly elusive and it leaves you unable to enjoy the things you normally would. I am fortunate to have a secure web of support to fall into. It is, strangely, during these times that my creativity bursts forth most vividly, so I am taking the hint and will be dedicating more time to those pursuits. Which might mean I sacrifice quantity for quality here.
I am grateful for you, my readers, and I look forward to growing and evolving with you.
In other news, you know that I conduct my life in a very austere fashion, distilling it to my most basic needs and desires. But fuck it, every now and then a person requires a little retail therapy, and so I've forgone excessive credit card and loan payments to indulge in the following items:
Because I would like to turn my aging PowerBook into a dedicated work machine.
Because I, for some reason, only just discovered that Frederick's of Hollywood produces brassieres in my unusual size. 
Because it is cute, campy, matches my bicycle, made of wool, and has two rear pockets!Speaking of retail therapy, I finally have new stuff for sale!
I will post again with some interesting articles I've come across today which pertain to my interests. And maybe again much much later with scans of the drawing I am about to work on.
In the meantime keep on keeping on.

Ennui, or maybe even angst, is part of life. We all get it from time to time. Like sailing through a storm; all you can do is batten down the hatches, trim the sails, keep a steady hand on the tiller and sail through. Eventually the storm clouds disappear and the sun comes out again. (All the sailing imagery is courtesy of my bike rides out on the beach!)
