Well come on
Well come on

Because of a crazy school schedule I haven't touched my camera in almost two weeks. I've been spending all my time in Illustrator. Did this trace painting, using the pen tool, of my original picture for a class project.
Because many old Queenslander homes are designed to have open air flow and no window screens- its common to keep windows open and "let nature in". In this case, our host keeps a margarine size tub of honey and honeycomb to concentrate the ants in one spot so they don't go much further to investigate for food. While its a good theory- I still find ants crawling the walls and hunting on all sorts of surfaces.
Because I was making a sampler of each weeks stitches I decided to take part in the Crazy Quilt Journal Project for 2012
and use all the stithes from each month in a free form style.
With some effort because of the work-related memories (trauma, basically) I made my way to Amsterdam again. Luckily, it was a beautiful day and part of the purpose was a Laser 3.14 hunt with Jacco. I was a little disappointed by my unease - apparently, the impact is even bigger than I thought, but a treasure hunt is always a good distraction.
Because of some wildfires somewhere miles and miles away it had been hazy for days... No good at all, but at least it created some interesting light.
Fuzzy Door Productions MUST BE BANNED AND GET SHUT DOWN FOR GOOD because Fuzzy Door Productions makes bad inappropriate shows about private body parts like Family Guy and American Dad which has bad inappropriate phrases about body parts which reminds me of my guilt of Corduroy the Bear when his button was in a storm drain and when Jessie Burris made my guilt of Corduroy the Bear worse by telling me that an alligator ate Corduroy's button and yelling out bad inappropriate phrases about body parts from Family Guy and American Dad at me and punched me in the elbow on December 2009 which made me super upset and worried and have ate a lot of salt and vinegar Pringles Potato ships, ate a big bowl of Fruity Pebbles, and ate extra school lunches and eating all of them nervously and feeling guilty for Corduroy and his buttons ending up with a sick stomach with green spots on exams week puking in a bathroom trash can and then I had to be sent home during the exams on December 2009, and my guilt of Corduroy the Bear the sick stomach I have got on December 2009 is all Betty Quan, Jessie Burris, Fuzzy Door Productions, and Seth McFarlan's fault. So I hereby Family Guy and American Dad MUST END IMMEDIATELY along with modern Simpsons and that Nelvana and Hanna-Barbera MUST TAKE OVER Fuzzy Door Productions. But at least they did get Corduroy's button out of the storm drain and put Corduroy's button back on Corduroy the Bear's green corduroy overalls and Corduroy the Bear does have two buttons on his green Corduroy overalls forever and Nelvana's version of Corduroy the Bear will be revived with the premiere of Two Buttons again and Forever and all of my favorite buildings in New Jersey will always be around etc. And I am even adding a New pavilion shopping Center taking over the Fox studios due to the bad inappropriate phrases from Family Guy and American Dad and the mean-spirited stuff in modern Simpsons (The Simpsons seasons 19 and later) especially modern Simpsons (The Simpsons seasons 19 and later) is giving many mean teachers bad ideas of getting students arrested based on their disability like autism or their race because of what Chief Wiggums does in modern Simpsons which is not acceptable at all. I am even having Nelvana acquire Hanna-Barbera and restore Hanna-Barbera back to their original Glory and restore Hanna-Barbera back to their original most popular classic iconic character designs as and animation style from the 1950s and 1960s for Hanna-Barbera to go back up on the top from when Warner Bros ruined Hanna-Barbera and remade Hanna-Barbera against their original Glory. Before Blue's Clues was ever created they used to make minor goofs of Mickey Mouse's iconic red short overalls with yellow buttons and no shoulder straps occasionally being low waisted and looking like a loincloth and having the buttons marking the human penises referencing the inappropriate phrases about body parts from American Dad and Family Guy is extremely vulgar and reminds me of when Corduroy's button was in a storm drain at the end of Cute as a Button which made me extremely upset but good thing I am working for Nelvana reviving Nelvana's version of Corduroy the Bear with the premiere of Two Buttons again and Forever fixing Betty Quan's upsetting mistake for good by showing that they did get Corduroy's button out of the storm drain and put Corduroy's button back on Corduroy the Bear's green corduroy overalls and Corduroy the Bear does have two buttons on his green corduroy overalls forever. They MUST CENSOR the inappropriate phrases about body parts in ALL future American Dad and Family Guy broadcasts because the inappropriate phrases about body parts from American Dad and Family Guy are so gross and inappropriate and so annoying and cringy like Dee Dee's laugh from Dexter's Laboratory and the inappropriate phrases about body parts from Family Guy are making me worried for Corduroy's button and the author of the Corduroy (Nelvana TV series) episode Betty Quan was also watching Dexter's Laboratory and having on DeeDee laughing in the episode of Dexter's Laboratory she was watching while writing the Corduroy episode Cute as a Button is why the Corduroy episode Cute as a Button does have an upsetting ending where Corduroy's button fell in a storm drain across the street from Lisa and Corduroy's apartment Building and forgot to show that they did get Corduroy's button out of the storm drain and put Corduroy's button back on Corduroy the Bear's green corduroy overalls and that Corduroy the Bear does have two buttons on his green corduroy overalls forever and in that storm drain, right after when the button fell in DeeDee from Dexter's Laboratory made Mowgli from Disney's 1967 animated film The Jungle Book fall on Corduroy's button and lay his stomach on the bottom of the storm drain and Corduroy's button was going on the front of Mowgli's bright red cotton fabric loincloth shorts and DeeDee was laughing about it which made me super upset which caused me to have guilt of Corduroy the Bear on December 2009 and what made my guilt of Corduroy the Bear worse was that a student at my middle school Dean Rusk in Canton Georgia named Jessie Burris told me a mean lie that an alligator ate Corduroy's button, yelled out the inappropriate phrases about body parts from American Dad and Family Guy at me, and then she punched me in the shoulder, then she told me to move on from my golden nostalgic toddler stuff like riding on school buses and bring back the bad things from the early 90s such as pear-shaped wrecking balls and ice cream trucks with the bad old outdated red trapezoid children slow crossing warning blades that word IF-SAFE STOP THEN-GO (which are extremely confusing to people who are deaf, color blind, can't read, or don't speak English and we need to help out those people out too) and then she told me that she liked DeeDee's annoying idiotic laugh from Dexter's Laboratory and the inappropriate phrases about body parts from American Dad and Family Guy which made me even more upset and worried for Corduroy and his button causing me to have anxiety with my guilt of Corduroy the Bear and all of that I was overeating so much food on December 2009 by making my bowl of Fruity Pebbles super big, munching giant stacks of salt and Vinegar Pringles Potato ships, and having a lot of extra school lunches and I was eating all of these foods all at once nervously for Corduroy and his button and then on exams week on my 8th grade school year on December 2009, I was having a sick stomach with green spots from overeating and then I had to rush to the restroom at my middle school Dean Rusk in Canton, Georgia and I was puking in the restroom bin at my middle school Dean Rusk in Canton Georgia and they had to send me home and skip the exam eventhough I wanted to take the exam and succeed in school. But good thing I am fixing Betty Quan's upsetting mistake by reviving the Nelvana TV show Corduroy with the premiere of an entirely new episode titled Two Buttons again and Forever which is the sequel to Cute as a Button showing that they did get Corduroy's button out of the storm drain and put Corduroy's button back on Corduroy the Bear's green corduroy overalls and that Corduroy the Bear does have two buttons on his green corduroy overalls forever and that I am writing and producing a lot more entirely new Corduroy episodes with Corduroy the Bear having two buttons on his green corduroy overalls instead of one and I am re-editing all season 1 episodes with Corduroy the Bear having two buttons on his green corduroy overalls instead of one and re-editing Betty Quan's Cute as a Button with the beginning of Two Buttons again and Forever as the alternative ending. Good thing I have decided to give up Family Guy because the inappropriate phrases about body parts from American Dad and Family Guy are making me worried for Corduroy's button and the other reason why I have decided to give up Family Guy is because I will have kids of my own when I live in Toronto reviving Nelvana's version of Corduroy the Bear with the premiere of Two Buttons again and Forever fixing Betty Quan's upsetting mistake for good by showing that they did get Corduroy's button out of the storm drain and put Corduroy's button back on Corduroy the Bear's green corduroy overalls and Corduroy The Bear does have two buttons on his green corduroy overalls forever. And my own kids will be a son named Pinocchio William Joseph Rich and a daughter named Pollyanna Wendy Lisa Rich. Good thing Disney now always have the waist of Mickey Mouse's iconic red short overalls with yellow buttons and no shoulder straps have the waist going all the way up to the chest and no longer having minor goofs of the overalls being low waisted and looking like a loincloth and I know for a fact all pants with two buttons going horizontally up in the front are overalls no matter if they have shoulder straps or not because pants always have the waist going all the way up to the chest if they have two buttons going horizontally up in the front no matter if they have shoulder straps or not. As one of my collaborations when I revive Nelvana's version of Corduroy the Bear with the premiere of Two Buttons again and Forever Fixing Betty Quan's upsetting mistake for good I will censor these stupid minor goofs of Mickey Mouse's overalls.

I’ve waited a very long time to write this post. Mainly because the first time I wrote it, when I was almost finished, tumblr malfunctioned and I lost all the writing. So today I’m going to try and recreate everything I wrote. This place is precious to me, and I want to do it justice. This place is the Streeter SDA church in North Dakota. And it’s empty now. But when I was a child it was home to one of my favorite summer activities - Vacation Bible School. The old fashioned way.
In my wanderings, I’ve often wondered what it would be like to come upon an abandoned place that I once knew when it was not abandoned. And when I saw the Streeter church for the first time in many, many years back in May of 2018 I suddenly knew that feeling. It’s not a joyful feeling. It’s melancholy and nostalgia and sadness. But I’m so glad I got to capture it before it fell apart.
When I was a child in the 90s, this church had a big VBS program. Even though it was way out in the country, kids who didn’t even belong to the church attended. And my mom drove brother and me all the way from Garrison ND each summer to take part. We stayed with our old family friends on their farm which was near to the church, and our moms both helped with the program.
I got to explore the old church, now closed for years, with my friend Bethany who also attended VBS with me when we were kids. Her dad helped us get in, and my dad came along too. I can’t thank them all enough for giving me this opportunity to photograph and remember.
It was startling to see the amount of decay on the building right off the bat. This little country church was always kept immaculate when I attended. There was so much pride in this little house of worship.
I can’t believe the piano and nice large cupboards are still here. The nice old piano sits silent now, but I remember when it was used.

Because we missed out on a festival day, our fearless guides and leaders arranged for an evening festival to come to us - by firelight!
Shawa Shachi ~ Dance of the Stag and Hunter

Because she ate her red leather one - so had a trip to emergency vet yesterday afternoon.
Vet made was ambivalent about making her vomit, but I insisted. Vet was glad I did given the size of some of the pieces she swallowed. They would very likely have caused a blockage - which would have been much more expensive to clear!
Because I didn't want to disturb Mother to go get the camera. We're
encouraging the lap cat tendencies whenever we can.
(Sigh) Taking a break from the BNTM uploads this week. Plus I need another day to figure out what else my girl can wear XD. This upload is just to break the darkness in my photostream.
I like this photo more because you can't clearly see the re-paint XD.
Because I'm right in the middle of painting mine.
