A couple of weeks ago I came home from work and everything was hazy. It was actually rather beautiful although it was an odd, surreal feeling.

I know the picture isn’t purple haze, more yellow, like that eerie color the sky gets before a really bad thunderstorm. I didn’t get a picture of the purple haze – it was off to the left for a short time period.

I know the fires are destructive and the air I was breathing was really bad for me, but it was beautiful that night.

Gondola Detail, Venice

My gondola detail is featured on a treasury at Etsy put together by Simply Suzula. The treasury is full of dragons and has some pretty cool artwork, so go check it out.

Day in the Life, just a picture by Courtney

Window, Vatican City

Well, not quite sleepless. Sleep just ended promptly with a whack of the neighbors window, which was followed by the usual 4 am noise. God, how I wish they’d get a hotel room.

In other news, I’m routine. Wake up (at 4 am), and again at 6 or 7 am, coffee, noodle around the net, shower, walk dog, drive, work, work, work, drive, walk dog, cook or procure food, eat, noodle around on net more, sleep for a few hours and do the entire thing over again. Punctuated by weekends where work is filled in with cleaning.

Annoyed, Day in the Life by Courtney

I find it funny that some people don’t realize how much I love music – even I miss that about myself occasionally. It has the power to lift me up out of my blues, or sink me farther into them, depending on the mood I’m in when I hit that play button.

I’m not sure if there’s anything better than driving down the road, windows rolled down on a sunny day, listening to something that makes you want to move. Move your head, tap your toes, dance with your fingers, wiggle your booo-tay.
