Not about the Boston Marathon tragedy

Everyone is thinking about Boston.  I know I am.  But I won't address it here.  I will only add my thoughts and prayers for all those involved and effected.  Peace be with you.

Baby wombats make the tears turn to laughter.  That's what we need most of all.  

Today is a big day for me.  I have two pieces in a student art show at my local CC, and the reception to announce the winners is TONIGHT.  Here's a picture of some of the entries in The Gallery - Check it out!

This is just a portion of the works displayed.  Here's a better shot showing my pieces

This is the piece on the left.  I call her "Big Woman, Little Tub".  

This is an abstract of Caravaggio's "Incredulity of St. Thomas", earlier draft, though.  I adjusted the shadow on Jesus.  I'll have to get a new picture of the final work.

So, tonight I find out if either of those pieces won a prize, or if anyone wants to purchase them, or possibly both.  At the other end of the spectrum, I could get no prize and no offers - but there will be punch!  And most likely cookies.  

Also this weekend, there is a visit from a good friend, lots of tabletop RPGing, a wedding where my band is playing and our drummer is the groom!  We have a guest drummer for the reception, and he is one of the coolest, kindest, talented, knowledgeable, and deliciously crunchy guys I know.  I have a crush on him and have for years.  I turn into a 12-year-old girl when I'm around him sometimes.  

And..and...AND: It is Record Store Saturday, y'all!!  There some information about it in Style Weekly if you want to check it out.  Basically, it's a day for locals to get out to their local record store and buy some vinyl!  Love your music, love your local music, and love your local music retailers!  

Parting thought: yesterday, I bought a sandwich at the Wawa and my order number was 666.  It reminded me of this:
