Summerfest big news, more like big sticky hot mess. Can you imagine a free day at Summerfest with Cake and Ice cream. It would have made more sense to make the whole week free, so everybody does not crowd in on one day. July is a hot month, Cake and Ice cream usually do not do well on hot days. This will be a day I will not attend Summerfest. Oh Well, here is a little reheat trick I learned tonight that most people won't write about. Thick frozen pizza the next day usually tastes bad. The microwave oven warms it, but it turns out nasty soggy. I found that if you put it in the oven at 425 for 6-8 minutes with some banana peppers on top, it is pretty darn good. That's right I wrote darn. I listened to the Lilly Allen cd today. It is Hill-Air-E-Us, I sounded it out for yeah. She sounds all sweet and innocent until you listen to what she is singing about, Pimps and Crack Whores. This makes me laugh, I just hope younger kids don't dig on this. The younger people sometimes don't understand that some things are just for entertainment. I am moving the weekend of the 18th, so I don't have much time left here in Milwaukee. My bathroom started leaking in from the apartment above. The wall and ceiling is bubbling up, I told my landlord about this the first time I noticed the drips. It has gotten worse, but I have stopped caring about it since I am moving. Well, sort of I told him about it again this morning. He will have to do a lot of scraping and painting when I leave. I really need to start packing but for some reason I don't really want to. I am not motivated to put all of my stuff in boxes, I like to see what I have collected over the years. I listened to my first book on my ipod over the last two days at my studio. Killing Yourself to Live: 85% of a True Story, very good. I got it as a gift from my sister for my birthday, itunes gift card. I like music a lot and reading about music so this sounded like a good thing to get. It was a very entertaining listen, plus I could paint while reading. I am working on a painting for a trade. A friend of mine does glass work and she asked if I would do a painting of a "Sushi Landscape" I said yeah, if she would do a glass piece of "Space Monkeys" for me. This painting has swallowed me, I can only describe it as EPIC. I can not stop thinking about it, and when working on it I feel as if I am in it. I know this sounds weird but hey, I have gotten back into the groove of painting like I was once before. You cannot control this feeling of creative flow. I am just bummed that I need to stop the roll of things to pack and move before I can start painting again in Michigan. I think that is enough for now. Until next time, Keep Smiling Milwaukee.
