some things...




i like to do paper cuts. they make me smile. i did these a few months ago.
another thing that makes me smile is ye olde thrift store. i have a special favorite.
it is unorganized. one time an old timer chatted me up about a copper embossed painting of san francisco. i think that he was the root of a dirty diaper smell that was wafting throughout the aisles. while on another day a geezer in wrap around sunglasses tried to get my opinion on a crusty juicer and my phone number in the same sentence. but...they do play some toe-tappin' tunes and if you look past the rubble heap of the housewares area, there are treasures to be found. my most recent most cherished find is "mary under convex glass with ooooold wooden frame." i have a very similar version of this immaculate heart tattooed on my right arm. it was kismet that i found her...lucky me!
