Presently the tow wagon from Prenton (just by where I live, actually) appears and hitches iteslf up prior to departure.
Broken Heart Robot is created by Craig Anthony Perkins. I always have a dilemma on how to display him as everywhere I place him, he seems very unhappy. =P

When you see the black rose
It reminds you of the memories
The memories you once had with hate
Now your happy
Because the black rose has your hate
It wanted pain the pain everyone put in it
Your rose would not cry

A 1x6 tile broke today while I was breaking up a building. I thought "Oh well", shrugged my shoulders and threw it in the bin. Then another broke. Ok, not doing so great. Then a third ... what the?
Is it normal for tiles to start breaking like this?
I like Rufus Wainwright. As a mom of teenagers, I really don't get a chance to listen to "my music" very much. Here is my tribute to a guy I will get to listen to on the way to the grocery store.
If you want to listen along with me.. you may

Broken lines.....
Στέκονται εκεί για να μας θυμίζουν τις...... απολεσθείσες επαφές, την παρελθούσα επικοινωνία... και τα πράγματα που ποτέ πια δεν θα ζήσουμε........η "γλυκόπικρη" νοσταλγία του παρελθόντος.......

“Hold fast to dreams,
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird,
That cannot fly.”
Langston Hughes
This was taken at the Tualatin River National Wildlife Refuge near Sherwood Oregon... This mother Killdeer was trying to lure us away from her nest where the red is on the ground and she was doing that broken-winged act that they do to get us to come for her... BTW, if the rangers hadn't put that red ring around the nest I would never have seen it... The eggs, which I have pictured below, look like rocks and blend in with the gravel in the roadway.. Very good camouflage....

This was not a good day for me....
BROKEN MAN
by Corrosion of Conformity
Deep in the soul of a man whose seen it all
He stands alone with borrowed time
Dealing with two nothings new but the look at you
With broken backs and bleeding minds
And tell you they now even though you fall behind
You'll be the one who walks the line-standing tall
They're so fragile, but they always find you when you hide...
Cause your a broken man in a broken land
And don't they wish they were blessed like you
The struggle in side of your mind is a waste of time
Purest thoughts evaporate
Dark clouds reveal how you feel in your idle time
Your own tail becomes the bait
You don't even know even though your blood flows
Destroy yourself, your the one you hate-standing tall
They're so fragile, but they always catch you when you're late...
Cause your a broken man in a broken land
And don't they wish they were blessed like you
Standing tall they look so small with your world up their shoulders
But a broken man on broken land looks far beyond his bothers...
Break for the sun your the one, the chosen one,
Your time is up yor time is due
Craked like a whip from the hand of a broken man
To find out that he's just like you
But you've seen it all in your mind,
You've seen it all you built it up and they made it fall
Because your killing yourself-your so fragile,
But they cannot crush you if you don't crawl..
Now I'm a broken man in a broken land
Now I'm a broken man in a broken land...
detail of basic drawing final: Me with a broken heart...sad
I suppose I should have put this up earlier about my little detail here- This little bit here is a part of this larger drawing: flickr.com/photos/cubesbyamanda/458377589/in/set-72157600...
Now I'm all for freedom of interpretation and all and I'm glad people are finding it interesting and are able to find a connection with it. I truly take that as a compliment being an artist that I can affect someone like that. Having said that, if you look at the original piece you'll see that it was about the loss of my dad, and my heartbreak was one of grieving and emptiness and confusion- not of something brought about by anything "romantic".
I guess I probably should have named it something else, because this wasn't really a "heart break" as much as it was more like having my heart completely ripped from my chest while watching my world explode into oblivion. So this was catharsis.
Ok, enough of the dramatic stuff, I'm really a pretty happy person despite all that.
Thanks again for all the views/comments/favorites- I really appreciate it, I just wanted to tell you what the drawing means to ME and it's original purpose, but please feel free to keep interpreting it any way you can.

Shot box speed, despite being 23 years expired and having an unknown storage history.
Physical slides are very dark, and even with a high exposure setting in VueScan they were each pulled up another 1.5 to 2 stops in processing.
Color balance for mids and highs lead to significant magenta hue in shadows which was corrected for in some but not all of these.

Easter cupcakes for hubby's niece and nephew, since I realised last night with horror that I didn't have any easter eggs for them.. oops! I only just got back from a trip yesterday, so wasn't organised. I hope they're suitably grossed out by them :-P
Mini vanilla buttermilk cupcakes with white chocolate buttercream, and a dollop of lemon curd for the yolk. The egg shells I made out of white chocolate.
I can't believe I managed to pull these together on such short notice with no groceries in the house. I had ONE lemon on the tree to make the lemon curd out of, half a bag of white chocolate buttons for the shells, only JUST enough eggs, the exact amount of buttermilk in the freezer.... the cake Gods were on my side!
