YES. (Free.)

I fucking did it.


That is how god damn happy I am that I pulled off the most god damn ridiculous amount of art in an incredibly compressed amount of human time measurement units.

Without sleep. Since the last point in time I had controlled unconsciousness was some 30-40 hours before.

I'm not really sure.


But that is understandable. I'd hope so anyways.

On to the construction.

I had prepared most of the pieces beforehand, attaching interlocking wire supports to each of the joints.

Hung using more wire, the finished piece was... well let me just bloody show you.




At twelve feet by twelve feet, this thing is massive.

The worst part of getting it up, was I had to do it ridding in one of those lifts.

Think a platform with railing on top of a mechanical carjack. On wheels.


And when there was wind... it SWAYED.



Did I mention I have a fear of heights?

Yeah.

In the words of Nick Cage, "THAT WAS BITCHIN'!"



Yeah, but I did it.

And it's my blog and I can cry if I want to, cry if I want to, cry if I want to.

Wait what was I talking about again?


Oh yeah.

It was one hell of an experience getting my commentary on death and its incarnations up into the air.

Themes of death and inevitability that we walk right under (especially residents of this area) every day.

Only someone with a certain amount of familiarity with Chinese connotations would have it hit them immediately. For others, I would hope the imposing visage would get my points and thoughts into them.

Eventually.

Kind of like death.


Goodness that is morbid.

Let's just walk through the curtain and end this... for tonight.


And that's it.

Lunch.

There isn't a free one.

But this is free.


I'm not much for the song, but I am all about the pun.

Anyways, let's talk about my buddy's minecraft server.

He invited me to partake in his private server, with a few other friends of his, and after a night or two we are turning this world into a teraformed magnificent quasi-disasterland of amazement and wonder.

The disasterland bit comes from all the god damn creepers.

Creepers are these assholes:


Now, they don't look like much, but guess what they do if you get to close?

They fucking explode, with dynamite level force.

This, combined with the fact that they make NO FUCKING NOISE AT ALL, makes them the most hope destroying force in the universe. They will fuck up you and your shit.

And there is nothing you can do but run.

Run and hide.

Forever.

Okay I might be exaggerating, but they are fucking scary when six come over the hill (out of the all consuming night time) and rush you like a pack of green innuendo implying shapes of explody and terrible death.


But I did managed to get a cool tower, and part of my defense rampart built. Yay. More work on that to come I suppose.


And that's it.

Whateva whateva, I do wha I wan.

Buy this for awesome minecraft music.

Seriously, it's four bucks for twenty-four amazing songs.









Let's talk about ceramics.


Why?

Because they are awesome,



duh.


Anyways, here are some results that I am especially happy with.

Finally got 'em all fired and all set up.




I have a bunch more, but that is for some other time.

(Indecently, they are all for sale, but are not here at the moment. Hope the good folks at the Starbucks in Newbury Park enjoy purchasing them.)


Also,

is happening to my sleep schedule?

Oh well, time for a solution.

Drugs!












Okay yeah it is just a benadryl to help me sleep.

But those were entertaining to share.


And that's it.
