Oh my lovelies, it seems lately I've been a deep sea creature- swimming far beneath the photic zone, lost in dark blue folds of water- oblivion lit only by my brightly bobbing lantern lure. I've been trying to fight my nocturnal nixie nature, and mostly failing miserably. One day, I will get paid to stay up all night writing and wandering and wondering, but until then morning comes far too soon. Voices in the dark, heard from high on the hillside, sought in dreams- I keep waking with my head wrapped in seaweed, in strands of stinging tentacle. I don't need a card reading to know I'd pull the moon. |

Happy Midsummer's Eve, Summer Solstice, and Father's Day my dearies- I hope this weekend has found you blissfully enjoying the land and the water, and hopefully a big bonfire to jump over! I know that I am very blessed to have such an amazing father and grandfather. We have such a strong bond, built on mutual respect and love, and are interested in so many of the same things- as far as art, music and spirituality goes. I know that's a damn rare and immeasurably precious thing, and I try to never take it for granted. I've learned so much from these guys, and feel so lucky to have their friendship as well. Fine fellows!

Today is the birthday of two of my dear friend, and favorite fancy ladies: Christy Kane and Dame Darcy! Not only do they share a birthday, but also a predilection for making beautiful and bizarre dolls, dark victoriana, and all manner of tattered frippery! Both are amazing artists and musicians, and if you are not already familiar with their work, I suggest you go explore..

![]() The other day we went out to the scrapyard. When your sweetheart is a blacksmith, this is a pretty common field trip. If you're hunting for the perfect piece of metal junk or odd machine parts, then it becomes a wonderland. There are giant mounds of oddments, taller than my house. |

![]() Hello Mister Bobcat! I love your face. It looks a bit like my face when I've had my snoot to the grindstone for far too long, and am yearnin' to don some tattered finery and tear it up.

I look forward to the Krewe of Eris parade every year- it usually happens on the weekend before Mardi Gras, and this year (it occurred back in February, mind) it was quite chilly indeed. Luckily we were all able to augment our ensembles to accommodate both the theme and the weather! Last year we all dressed as giant insects for Release the Swarm!- which I adored. The bug theme got everyone super-inspired, and I so curious to see what people would come up with for this year's theme: The Feast of the Appetites! Of course everyone went all out- mostly food inspired, but I did see a telephone!

![]() The Great Easter Egg Hunt of 2009 was a definite success- children frolicked, bonnets were flaunted, and delectables devoured! The rain came early in the morning, leaving us a perfect golden afternoon. Read more of Bunnytown here...! |
