I live in Athens, Ga. I am a writer and aerial dancer, but mostly relish time on my porch with kyle and cats. We have a new solar oven, which I'm really excited about.

  Beeker and Keyboard Cat grew up in the same neighborhood. They may have had the same daddy, I don’t know.

What-what? This is truly absurd. Keyboard cat is not really playing, I don’t think, do you?

play him off keyboard cat!

keyboard cat is a hilarious meme, nonetheless watching a brother do a barrel roll on a treadmill had me rolling!

I’ve pretty much been living and breathing the Georgia Theatre since 7:30 a.m. yesterday — spent all day Friday working on this story (click on photo), and just got home from filing tomorrow’s centerpiece. Through it all, I just keep feeling so bad for Wilmot Greene, and — like so many other people, keep having snippets of memories from good times at that place popping into my mind. One: R.E.M. played a surprise show there in 2001, just a month after 9/11, and during “It’s the End of the World,” when everyone was dancing like crazy, I got really emotional because of everything that had *just* happened, and I stood still and held up a peace sign (all hippie like). And Stipe saw it, and held one up too as he kept singing the song. Soon most of the audience had joined in, and that song, and our hands raised together in that moment held so much meaning.  athensmusicandarts: This story took forever yesterday, but I learned a ton about that place. I look at this image and am amazed that even with our technology and abilities (and power tools) today, so many builders slap up crappy vinyl-siding/faux brick, matchstick houses and buildings. Back then, in 1889, they built landmarks.

Watched this last night — there’s a tiny part of me, watching the first half of the movie, that wants to experience just a piece of that high. And then there’s the bathtub scene, and from there out, I don’t ever want to touch a thing they snorted/swallowed/licked/smoked or even looked at, really. Ever.

This reminds me of the purring, meowing, blinking anamatonic cat at Sanni & Donnie’s the other night — creepy and funny all at the same time — a talking cat to wish us happy anniversary

Kyle Dawkins just created this amazing video teaser for the Exsanguinette album. Watch for pictures by Rinne Allen, artwork by Watson Atkinson, and the old school Exsanguinette logo by Robert Newsome. Soon!

While these were hardly designed for this purpose, it’s official — nag champa is the only incense that really covers up (pleasantly) the perpetual smell of cat piss lingering in the corner of my living room. (Because of the litterbox — i don’t just have a big puddle of cat pee over there)

shorterexcerpts: elvira: littleorphanammo: wideeyedhippiechild: lifebeginswith: davereed: Night and Day via fussballmeister: placidiappunti Mind blown? This is honestly the first time I’ve really contemplated the idea that ‘night’ is just a shadow. It always existed in my mind as a very real concept, almost a solid thing. Night. But it’s not really anything. It’s just a really big shadow. Mind totally blown. Also, I’d like to figure out a way to calculate how to move with the edge of the shadow (that ever so slightly teal in the above photo) as twilight and daybreak are my favorites. So if I j.ust ran at the right speed, I could spend 24 hours watching  a sunset or sunrise..I could make it seem like only 5 minutes had passed in 24 hours. how cool would THAT be? Sorry Ah-nuld, this Terminator is cooler.

And finally, photos of “Susan’s Muse,” my piece with Chris. He’s the awesomest. Dreamy, really.

Don pulled off some genius rigging for the iron oak we performed in at Ashantilly. He put cleats into blocks of wood then wedged them into the crevices of the tree, roped the blocks at either end and wrapped them around the tree. No idea how he figured it out. We were in awe. I think the tree was intrigued as well.
