I know it must seem that I have been uncommonly quiet of late. And it's true, I haven't had much that bears writing out in long-form. But I have been very active lately online-- my Facebook is all ablaze with the latest rounds of political fuckery and the GOP's war on ladies and their ladyparts. My twitter, as well, with slap-dashes of work updates, kitty blurbs, and makeup lemmings. And then there's my tumblr, which is full of pretty images and words to keep in your pocket. So I am around. I am just searching for something that bears repeating for this space.

Though marriage equality was signed into law here in Maryland yesterday by Governor O'Malley. That certainly bears recognition and notice. I am very proud of my state right now. (However desperately wanting to smack detractors with rancid fish. If I see ONE MORE argument comparing the union of two consenting adults to child marriage or bestiality, I will lose all of my ladylike composure. Those fuckfaces.)

Work goes forward. Yesterday was spent on making colorful resin jewelry-- Effervescence earrings are making a return, and I ended up using duochromes in some steampunky pieces that shift colors beneath gears. I found out that my work will be featured next Friday on the Ice Queen Zine, the official blogspace of Ice Resin and the Grande Dame of resin jewelry, Susan Lenart Kazmer. So that's really exciting! It's nice to be acknowledged by artists you admire.

Tomorrow is Transcendence practice, where we finalize our set for Art of The Belly later this month in Ocean City. Then dinner with family I don't see as much as I'd like. And then Sunday is Gaelic Storm at the Birchmere. Very excited to have wild music running through me. Looking forward to it.

Aside from that: I have the urge to write. I think I need some prompts.
