Greetings non Nashvillians, and Wayne! By the way, poor poor Wayne...... I guess right about now its hotter than hell fire pretty much everywhere. And of course I'm praying extra hard for the critters out there and doing rain dances to Wayne Newton lounge hits, but I'm also thinkin' that right about now approximately 3 miles away there's most likely asphalt buckling under the scourching feet of hundreds possibly thousands of Tomato weary festival victims. And if I could hover like the good lawd allmighty I'd be looking down at them whispering "I told you so".....Johnny on the spots are mingled together in little potty huddles beckoning the blistered brave , and the already full and lulled southern horse flies. Poor Wayne and Deb and their little Wonderland have probably experienced enough customer passage to last a good month. And the flusher on their loo is probably long gone impotent......... sigh............ I just don't understand people. The insane need to party in the most hellish circumstances. I just don't get it.
The festivities started last night and I heard via the grapevine that it got wild. But I guess when you mix triple digit heat with liquor, essential oils, flesh and tomatoes, things can get out of hand.
The sado masochistic rites of deadly nightshade passage will continue on into the night. Some will make it..... some will not. In the dead of the afternoon heat tomorrow I will venture out to the Art and Invention Gallery to snap photos of some of the best tomato art that the south has to offer. But not now...... oh no! For now I make art and nap and love on the furry babies. Ah... sweet lullabies under the hypnotic whirrrr of a room fan............ zzzzzzz.
I went to home depot today to get (git) the supplies needed to start my epoxy ventures. After having been disappointed by encaustic wax and its lack of strength, I have decided that epoxy resin is indeed the bling I've been looking for..... searching for! I was going to apply it to the above painting but I think I'll start with small paintings instead.
Whilst at Home Depot..... one of the home improvement places that I hate.... I stumbled upon a new find that almost made me wet myself! Now mind you I haven't watched television in about 2 years so I declare myself innocent, if not ignorant to the new found fancies at box stores. But just in case I'm not alone this is for my buds who are at home right now painting their little selves into mixed media frenzies. Behold.... Glidden 8 oz. any color you want , containers of paint for under THREE DOLLARS!!!!! UNDER THREE DOLLARS!!!! Mixed right there on the spot to the color of your choice! Water soluble! Groovy colors for under THREE DOLLARS!The Home Depot dude told me that these paints have been out for about a year now. Where have I been? ....... People out there need to keep me updated for cryin' out loud!

Always check the "oops" paint sections of Home Depot and Lowes. A quart is usually $1 and a gallon is usually $5. That's where I got the paint for my shelf and several other colors I haven't used yet.
squee,
why are you in my blog world here? if you are to be in my blog realm you are to (1) ask for the blog talking stick or (2) only post how hot i am and or my post is
now go back to your blog space and meditate on these words!
and for the next 10 posts.... you are banished of the blog talking/remark stick.
let me make myself clear! banished!
I got yer' blog talking stick right here!
And you're so hot I thought it went without saying. I'm talking Nashville in August hot.
i'm on my way over there woman! and you better have that favorite apron of mine on!
and when i get there.... take that talkin' stick out of the oven cause i'm gonna whip that southern rump!! yeeee haaaaa!
but seriously, that is a cool ass deal especially for class, dont you think?
It's okay, I get sort of wondering about it sometimes too. It's hard to tell sometimes!
That's really great of you, to take in strays. Oliver was one, so was Patch, even Penny.
Haha! I never knew that. I guess Oliver's an attention-grabber.
And strange is better than normal and boring, with the same viewpoints as everybody else.
I'm glad too.
Yeah, he's pretty great. He's really passionate about the animals, but since he's so darn hard with his feelings you can't tell sometimes.
I used to think we had really cheapo cat food, but it turns out it costs like $40 and we buy it because of Oliver's problem.
I didn't know about the Glidden paint either, and I do watch TV--well kind of--when I do, I DVR it and fast forward the commercials, so thanks for the info.
And let us know about the resin. I have never tried it but would really like to. The only thing I heard that is a pain about it is the tiny air bubbles you get with it.
