Seven hours and fifteen minutes from now, to be roughly exact. I should really go to bed, but am being kept awake by a nasty bout of acid reflux. I've put myself on the diet of a 90-year-old and have considered buying a pez dispenser for my tums. Until my stomach settles down, here are a few thoughts running through my late-night brain.
Ok so for one thing, yesterday I touched a slave collar. Yep, a mother fucking slave collar. It was at an antiques festival and was being sold by a guy who buys things from big estate sales in the south. He also had KKK pins, shackles, a whole bunch of Nazi regalia and other stuff that probably cursed me forever, as I was too naive to realize what I was holding UNTIL IT WAS TOO GOD DAMN LATE. Great, a nazi slave curse right before I get on a plane. No seriously, that's perfect. Just as long as I wear a life preserver to the airport, sit by an emergency exit and carry a chalice full of virgin blood in my carry on.
Other than all that crap I was just talking about, it was actually a really enjoyable sale to wander through; ended up with some lightly used paintbrushes and nice purple bottles. One of them has raised lettering that says 'sperm oil' on the front. I should probably wash that.......

After a few thousand online comics, adorable puppy and duck photos and some blogging with you fine folks, I'm finally getting a little sleepy and excited for my venture westward. Everyone is asking me, 'Oh what's out in Seattle??' and I don't know or care. I hope to do something great that will save orphan babies from panthers and has dental. In the meantime I just want to pay my bills, sing, dance, love, act and make art. Speaking of, here's some summer art. Been meaning to upload this stuff.
Goodnight, all.
(I left this post up on my computer. I am actually in Seattle now and settling very well so far. ^^)
