lobotomy, anyone?

I already knew that Eau Claire, Wisconsin was a strange place, but I was shocked to see the hospital still uses these ancient wheelchairs. Creepy. Paging David Lynch, paging David Lynch...

zumba!

I walked out of my office on Wednesday to go to the bathroom. Laurie and Stevie will really appreciate this post because they used to work in McNeal hall. I heard music, then I saw lots of people dancing in the atrium on all three floors. This is usually a very quiet building. I was confused and amazed! Laurie figured out what it was. Fun!

Accidental Cell Phone Image

My cell phone randomly takes photos. Here's another one that I really liked. Every time I look at it, I discern something slightly different.

THE COLLECTION

Here they all are. Aren't they strange? And some of them got beat up. And, I'm not sure - but am I supposed to be missing the card of 5s? I put the receipt in place of them.

WHAT THE HELL ARE THESE???

They just keep coming. WHAT are they??

omg to this stiching

I love everything - EVERYTHING - here and here.

I've got a bunny thing, and I've got a messy stitching thing, and I've got a thing for strange stories with gore and oddness, so this is my new favorite thing.

I love it.

evening leaf tag

I was supposed to be writing a paper based on Erikson's psychosocial stages of development and instead I accidentally took a two hour nap that felt like (and was only supposed to be) 20 minutes and left me with a raunchy taste in my mouth. I got dressed, look surprisingly fashionable (I have a sleek light blue ensemble going on), grabbed my camera, and walked across the street to the park.

On the way I saw at one end of the park a car running with its lights on and a person sleeping very deeply (head back, mouth open, slouched over) in the driver's seat. I thought they might be dead. I stopped and stared at them and couldn't bring myself to get closer to see if they were really just sleeping. I wondered if they'd run a hose from the exhaust to the inside and killed themselves. I was still half-asleep and felt confused.

At the other end of the park was a kissing couple. I couldn't go make a tag by the kissing couple even though all the good pretty leaves seemed to be over there. I felt so confused. What had happened out here while I'd slept?

I started to make this tag hanging down from the leaves attached to the tree. I wanted to make several streams of leaf chains dangling. I am not Andy Goldsworthy and couldn't pull it off. Before it got too dark I just strung a few together on the ground.

And here's just a close up of the more intricate end:Back to Erikson and brushing my teeth.
