In progress. Sat down after coming home from massage work and started on this one, painting outside on the deck. I stopped when it got dark, then picked up again after wasting an hour on another canvas I ended up rinsing off. 
Requires a smoothing coat and repair in the upper left, but basically done. Submitted by courtnee in public - 07.13.10 - 10:26 am

And some food for thought on psychological distress, as well. Drowning doesn’t often look like drowning then, either.

A few new developments on my elimination diet front; I got the Soya milker in the mail at the beginning of the week, and already made chocolate stevea almond soy, and some batches of regular milks too. It’s really easy and fast, though it takes a while for the milk to cool down, so for smoothie action I find I have to make a batch the night before and refrigerate. It takes a cup of dry nuts to make a quart of milk. After they’re soaked they turn out to be about 3 cups all bloated with water. My almonds are going a long way, and I love not having to deal with the packaging of the store stuff. Rice milk is sorta puny for my tastes, but I’ll probably try making some anyway just to see how well the machine does it. In other news, I can eat pasta again! Spelt is working out well for me. Thank god. Submitted by courtnee in public - 07.02.10 - 12:00 am
Trained for about 7 hours today, with a break for food in the middle. Took an ice bath once I got home and am still stiffening as I write this. Worth it. I like days when it seems I can go forever.

That British Petroleum should be dismantled, the entire bulk of their wealth distributed to every ship, environmental expert and scientist alive to throw everything we have as a human race at cleaning up their fuckup, and each of their offices turned into a memorial for the part of the planet their executive decisions ruined. Oh, and those 12 humans that have died so far because of this. Then, I think Obama should be demoted to a lifetime stead as the fucking rent-a-cop that patrols it. If only I ran this world. Why isn’t human kind doing everything it can? Why isn’t this like the world wars where the culture and priorities of the world shifted in order to facilitate war efforts? Why do we only seem to be good at aligning in order to fucking kill each other? My best friend just had a baby. The strength, power and intention in which she has done that, the kind of person I’ve watched her become and the kind of human being she is committed to encouraging her child to be has instilled a faith in humanity I haven’t experienced before. And here, in the typical extreme fashion of my existence on this planet, is a situation which literally causes me to be ashamed of being part of such a viral, destructive, greed ridden festering wound on this earth. I’m being torn apart. Christ I think a lot. Submitted by courtnee in public - 06.30.10 - 9:50 pm
It’s supposed to hurt. It’s our gift to feel the hurt. A gift these creatures will soon no longer possess because of our race, its mismanagement of the earth and our choice to be silent and oblivious. Don’t put your head in the sand. This is a wake up call. Don’t let it be in vain.
Show everyone you know what’s happening out there because of us. Stay informed so when the time comes that you can do something, you’re prepared to do it. Think about how you can help, how you can change your life to consume less oil, and what you can do to inspire those around you to make conscious decisions based on this lesson. And while you’re at it, hand me a tissue. Submitted by courtnee in public - 06.29.10 - 10:43 pm
Just found the original, had lost the digital copy when I wiped out my drive a year or so ago. “Isolation” – Acrylic on paper, 2004. Submitted by courtnee in public - 06.26.10 - 12:55 pm
Today I am taking an encaustic painting art workshop with Janet Miller of http://planetjanet.com. I’m super excited for it. After meeting her at the First Thursday Artwalk, and realizing I took a boundary class with her a few years ago with Home Alive, I jumped at the chance to get in on her workshop this weekend. After seeing her work, I messed around with some acrylics inspired by her aesthetic. This is an in-progress picture of my collage before adding molding paste to add shape and texture. 
I’ve been pretty creative lately, with painting, music, and some sewing as well. I’m looking forward to having more skills to further my life and the work I do with Vita! Not to mention the potential of finally using the candle-making set a friend got me for Christmas many moons ago to actually make something. Squee!

And fuck anyone who chooses to stand by you while you behave like lying planet raping sacs of shit. Michael Jackson, who’s been fucking bankrupt, can hire scientists in the Netherlands to help him come up with highly refractive fucking sequins for his motherfucking costume for a motherfucking show he didn’t even live to motherfucking perform. All you, a multi-billion dollar “run to failure” money machine, are choosing to come up with in response to an unprecedented ecological fucking crisis caused by your gross negligence is finger pointing, deflection and a load of opportunistic horseshit. Oh, and the promise of a pittance to pay a couple people off and save face without actually doing anything. I can get how people can get caught up in the greed machine. What I don’t get is how any collection of human beings could stay caught up in it now. It’s not too late to put everything you have – your blood, your sweat, your tears, and your fucking money, into doing the very best you can. This is the kind of ship the captain goes down with. Until then, FUCK you. I hope you and everyone who’s ever been involved in covering for you collectively fucking choke on the shit you’ve been feeding all of us. Wonder how easy it would be for you to keep your pussy little mouths shut then. If I could slap you in your cunt fucking faces, I so fucking would. I so fucking would.

I realize it’s a little early to be thinking Xmas thoughts, but you’ll forgive me for thinking ahead. I’d like a boy delivered to my doorstep who dresses like this, actually has a face, thinks I’m the prettiest girl in the world (and says so), and has mad lovin’ skills. kthxbye.

Holy CRAP are these almonds fucking amazing! I got the Raw Vanilla and Honey Orange. They are without a doubt the best almonds I’ve ever tasted. Rich and buttery and clean and awesome. Free shipping on orders of $30 or more – get gifts and order lots. Seriously. Holidays will be here before you know it and these people really know what they’re doing. I just finished (over)eating at a Brazilian barbecue and still can’t stop eating these things. http://www.homegrownalmonds.com/ omfg Submitted by courtnee in public - 06.19.10 - 6:37 pm
Seven young professional circus artists, many of which are my friends, converged in Seattle for a month-long collaborative project at the School of Acrobatics and New Circus Arts (SANCA) in Georgetown. For three weeks, the individual artists commingled their diverse talents, tastes and ideas to create this original contemporary circus production, Just Add Water. Now, they’re performing what they created, and I tell you, it’s freakin rad. Drawing from their personal experiences as traveling artists, the performers not only showcase their jaw-dropping acrobatic skill but also illuminate the lesser-seen human side of their chosen metier: the instant connections formed backstage, the elaborate pre-show rituals, the comedic lost-in-translation moments of cultures coming together, the tough goodbyes and the touching reunions. Just Add Water runs June 17th through June 23rd, with Tuesday and Wednesday night shows nearly sold out. Tickets are $12-$20 at http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/113253 Go see it!

I have performed as Zita the Aerialist since 2005. During that time my focus has been to tell compelling stories through aerial performance, often as a mechanism to cope with the challenges in my life. This act and its meaning continues to grow with me, over time. |

I just got my order from Briden Wilson Farm, in Arbuckle California. I mostly ordered almonds to milk when I get my milker in the mail, but since I was ordering, I also got some sweet stuff to try.
I rarely promote shows I am not performing in. Hell, sometimes I space out on promoting my own shows on this list! However, I just got back from seeing “Just add water” by Circus Syzygy and was so impressed with what was accomplished, I wanted to let you guys know about the opportunity to see this show.
This act is an illustration of the struggle to shed the defenses that bind us, finding strength in being vulnerable, and how sex contributes to the art of self discovery. This character is established earlier in the show as someone who is timid and quiet – until she finds herself seemingly alone with her obsession.
