So Many Posts….So Little Time….

It feels SO good to be back and I am SOOOO glad I am out of the hospital, but this week has made me realize that I am far from 100%  There are SOOOO many things that I would love to blog right now, but it seems like I just cannot get things moving as quickly as I would like. ...

Good to be Back!

I just spent almost 2 weeks in the hospital. It was horrible. I hope I never have to do that again. I have spent the last week or so seeing different docs and adjusting meds. It has been NO fun. The whole time I just wanted to feel good enough to blog. SO....now I do...and I have been thinking and ...

5 things to pay before the money runs out

I've been quiet the past two months, which is mainly attributed to a much-needed holiday vacation and subsequent stressful getting-back-into-work period. All this is complicated by the fact that El's currently staying in the hospital, but hopefully will be out again sometime this week. Anyway, as you can imagine, there wasn't much time to do anything productive, so I don't ...

Kandy and Victory Modan

For those of you that have followed my blog for very long at all, you will know that I model hair for Ali & Alli.  This CUTE little updo is one of their newest releases aptly named Kandy.  When Alice gave us the hair she simply asked for "something sweet" . . .and I can see why.  I LOVE the ...

3 of a Kind – Jeans

A few weeks ago, as I was looking through the feeds and flickr photostreams I came across a pic of an avi . . .just a simple pick.  The picture showed an avi in casual clothes, various poses but all together and I had a thought . . .perhaps I should start a category in my blog where I shot ...

Siss Boom, Eclectica and R2 Fashion

I was going to do a Q&D for this post . . .I PROLLY should have done a Q&D (Quick and Dirty) for this post, but I once again became so enamored with it once it was done, that I just HAD to talk about it a little.  There are SO many things about it that are SO pretty. It has ...

Ever an’ Angel

Don't you hate it when people aren't nice? Sometimes I wonder. Sometimes it seems like some people just want to be hateful and don't give two squats about what others want or need, or what is right or wrong. They live on the “me” level. And I find that SO disconcerting. It is NOT that I have never “visited” that ...

Donna Flora A to Z C is for Cerry

   Several years ago, when I was just a little bitty avi, I stumbled upon a shop named Donna Flora.  I still do not remember how I found it.  It was probably through one of the numerous groups that I am a part of...always looking for a bargain.  But I remember looking around and thinking that I had found THE ...

08 The 13th Moon

by V | 0 » | Jan19 10
08 The 13th Moon Tides are turning, the river's rolling on, And the thirteenth moon is riding high beneath a liquid sky. Leaves are crumbling, the final fall's begun. Under crystal waves and mirror lakes, In dreams of endless summerdays, The last season is run, season is run. The human race is buried by a new humanity Out on the silent islands where they ever may be free. The ...

07 Lichter einer großen Stadt

07 Lichter einer großen Stadt Children of a darker night, though of sorrow tell you might Keep your tears and I'll keep mine, nothing changes from a whine. For you this world is much too bright, An aweful high and mighty sight. And you don't dare to take the fight, The darkness is preparing your decline. Die Himmel sind verschlossen und die Sonne eingesperrt. Die Ströme sind geflossen ...

06 Cloudscape

06 Cloudscape Ground control, I'm taking off. Learning hard to catch the wind. Faster, higher, now I'm gaining. Cut through air with outspread wings. See their warbirds, now descending. Closing in, fire at will. I'm a living lightning bolt, an Angel with an urge to kill. Sonnen Wende Eises Luft Zeit verrinnt im Sande Niemand sei der Herrscher dieser Wolkenlande... Wolkenlande! So will ich über Wolkenlande fliegen, Will ...

The silent storm be our guide throughout the ocean of the night All hands on board and side by side we will return to set things right. Yonder rises the Nautilus, shining brightly out of the clouds. Through the rain ...

04 Steel Sky Metal scrapes on metal. It's happening again! I look to the horizon and run like I never ran. 98 .5 - humanoid life - Checking systems. ready - no chance to survive. White scars in a blue sky, faint lines in the sand. A thunder in the distance, a shadow on the land. Soon they will be here, ...

03 The Race Goes On

by V | 0 » | Jan19 10
03 The Race Goes On Wiping the blood from my windshield away, Another sad way to start a new day Racing the streets as to nowhere I ride, Bleak and dead houses, no cover to hide. Outside the dust blurs my vision to red, It also keeps air from being covered with lead. Nothing to lose is enough for to kill, Nothing to gain is another thing still. But ...

02 Turn The Sun

02 Turn the Sun A cold war reminder sleeps out on the ice. Uranium dreams and Caesium lies And a hydogen future of days long gone by Still waits for the silver halo crescent in the sky. Turn the sun, turn the sun, turn the sun When our scientific battle shall be won And for another age of atomaric thunder in the skies We crack the earth and ...

01 Was vom Tage übrig blieb

by V | 0 » | Jan19 10
01 Was vom Tage übrig blieb Children of the little mind, never wonder what you'll find Dance in circles, dance in line underneath the neon fine For you this world is much too deep, you cannot dream though you may sleep And when the stormy visions creep, the lying light will wash them off your mind. The lonely crowd is waiting, waiting for another life ...
