MOVING!!!

I'm in the process of moving this blog to my own server. Which means I'm also in the process of FINALLY doing something with sewerserpent.com, the domain I've been ignoring for over a year - despite the fact that I pay for it every month. I thought about coding my own blogging system, but decided to go with Wordpress due to my laziness and a newfound desire to do some paper crafts. Making small notebooks, doing some acrylic image transfers, making collages. In fact, I bid on (and won) some Ebay auctions for original gay porn photos from the 80s and 90s. I'll probably end up framing most of them--in particular, there are two of a young blond man in a sailor suit looking annoyed that I'm itching to put side-by-side in a horizontal frame--but there's one, at least, with a bad face that I plan to play around with. Probably draw (or watercolor, maybe) a handsome little stag's head for him to wear.

In the lapse since my last entry, I've been busy. Not just puttering around busy, but actually busy--traveling, mainly, to New Hampshire for a friend's wedding and a five-day "vaycay," then to Chicago for the Pitchfork Music Festival. In regards to the latter, I was really only going to see my favorite band, Mew, and, due to the American inability to purchase any of their merchandise (they're Danish), embroidered a little shirt to show my support and love. Though Anna has made quite a few neat things, this was my first experiment with embroidery. The words I free-handed, and for the little Mewbird I used their logo as a reference. I think it turned out well. One person at the festival saw me wearing it and said, "Hey, Mew!" She was wearing an actual Mew shirt, which I later bought one of at a booth for the very reasonable price of $20. And I've gotta say, it's nice having something official that I didn't have to make myself.
