Fiddling Away While Rome Burns

Drool. Drool. *weeping*. This beautiful 1941 Chevy is available for sale within a day's drive and for a mere 5k. . . This is the car that I someday want to own. There's nothing I love more in terms of autos, than the cars of the 40's. The color is perfect and the interior is in surpisingly good shape.

So I feel sort of, as the title not so subtley alludes, like a person who grasps for the temporal while the eternal struggle of pain and evil blazes around her. Earthquakes, wars, disease, and hurricanes. Oh dear God mercy!!

In happier news we celebrated Luke's 19th last night at Outback SteakHouse and I gladly dined on their wheat free menu. This weekend Luke and I are putting on our first music workshop for the Foundation he works for. I'm presenting on the history that influenced the music of the 60's, 70's, and 80's. Luke and I will sing, teach them dances, and teach them songs from each decade.

Oh! And I keep cranking out the art on deviant art. Check it out. I've been customizing fashion dolls. Goodwill has them for 1.99 apiece and acrylic paint is in the .40 to .88 price range. Mom sent me a Jackson!! Hurrah! So I bought a new winter coat at the Goodwill, some winter shirts, and a couple of Barbie type dolls to re-paint and costume. Before moving to LA I gave away my winter coat and some of my winter clothing, so I'm restocking!
