New site & flashbacks

Leave a Comment

I’m doing a little “info gathering” for a new, personal site I’m working on… or at the very least, considering. So, for a few ideas and time-saving graphics (already designed) I began hunting & pecking through some oldie-moldie folders. One of the first places I visited was my old 24-7cool.com archives. awwww, remember?

My hitch-hiking map

Kitty Roads Traveled

I remember how much work I put into that page… mapped my hitch-hiking paths with little annotations for each location.

24-7cool, version... ?

Comic Book Style

Then I redesigned the site with a variety of “Good Girl” comic book covers, customizing with Kitty content. Not sure which version that design was, but I think the original version was probably my fav.

Needless to say, I got a bit distracted from what I set out to do, but it was kind of fun digging around some of that stuff, ya know?

Time so flies when I have those darn flashbacks!
Alritey, better get this booty to bed… and if I do follow through with that new site, I’ll let y’all know, k? xo

Basquiat, Warhol

Leave a Comment

For some odd reason I feel like watching the (old) movie about Jean Michel Basquiat. When it made the rounds on cable awhile back, having seen it many times before, I didn’t want to watch it again because it kind of bummed me out—made me sad (Similar to the feelings I had after viewing “Ray” with Jamie Foxx).

Maybe it’s because our Milwaukee Art Museum just wrapped up an Andy Warhol exhibition, although I never particularly cared for Warhol’s work.

Oh well, go figure. It’s not on the horizon any time soon.

Here’s a few random thingies about Basquiat for your perusal… hmm, why isn’t Apture working? Well, how about I just do this….

Remember my fishy pets?

Hi you guys! Quickie note, just wanted to share. Some of you may remember I was in love with tropical fish for awhile, and someone on FB set up a new tank herself, which got me all melancholy n’ stuff for the cichlid life again… well, that ain’t gonna happen. I am not that impulsive! That was a different place & time.

ANYway, if you’re interested, wanna see some cool fish pics?
or just pop over to Flickr.

Ok kids, enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Really, really grateful…

Turkey’s in the oven although no holiday smell quite yet (I like preparing the bird the night before). But the ceremonial cleaning, stuffing and double checking my list of things to do got me thinking about stuff.

You know how sometimes you think of the past, and it is what it is/was. Then I have moments like now. Thinking about my “web” past and how it really has been a big part of my life. Thinking of how much I truly have to be thankful for.

Earlier today Hubby and I had our own exchange of our good life and our blessings and how fortunate we are. But when I sat down at my desk to do a little work, a flood of memories started bubbling up, made sharper by browsing some of my old blog designs & pics (I love Adobe Bridge btw).

Although I briefly considered posting a few old designs/pics etc, I really don’t need them to make my point.

Do you realize how long some of us have known each other? Dana, Faith, Patti… Moosie, Batty (yay for FullMoon Webbies!), Bran, Weiniehead, Jeff, Jann, Froggy, Elise, DanMan, Allen (sorry if I missed anyone, it’s inevitable)… and a tremendous number of FullMoon Graphics visitors who have been with me from the beginning. And most of you are still here! Lori, AnnieBananie, Joe… good grief there are soooo many of you that I am so happy to have met.

Digital Divas

  • The fab Digital Divas!
  • “Diva & Goliath”
  • Grey Day
  • Kaycee (!)
  • The “Hoopty” thang… OH, and of course there was “BlogCon” which probably means more to Batty & Jon than anyone!

Goodness, the list never ends…
I also have a confession to make. I “talk” to some of you more than any other real life friends that I have. Especially now that I’m not physically out in the working world. No more saving lives. My former coworkers were some of my best friends, and oddly enough, now that I don’t see them every day, it’s sad to say that we don’t talk much any more either. Lives change, relationships change. People I’ve known for 20+ yrs that aren’t a big part of my life any longer.  :(

This post could go on infinitely. I just want you all to know that I am grateful that I met you. I am thankful for your friendship. I’m glad you’re here. Even when you’re not, I know that you’re out there.

mmm, I’m beginning to smell a little holiday bird…
I wish you all the very very best for your Thanksgiving Day. Whether you celebrate it with loved ones, or don’t at all. I hope you all have just a little bit to be thankful for, even if it doesn’t feel like it sometimes, there has to be some hope, some glimmer of gratefulness in your life. I sure hope so.

No more beans…

5 Comments

beansI am crushed. It’s a sad, sad day… my staple (besides yogurt), my Imperial Edamame Beans are no longer sold at Sam’s Club. My 4 lb box containing 8 perfect sized bowls of podded beans is nowhere to be found.

Seriously, at 99 cals & about 8 gms of protein, they were the ideal snack-a-rooni. Now what? I used to get about 4 boxes a month. Dagnabbit.

Oh well. I shall survive… just barely, but I’ll try.

On another note – Windows 7. Mumsy bought a new pc and other than setting up the basics, I could have played with the new OS much much longer! Very cool at first glance. I don’t know about from a working standpoint, but the shininess and newness was pretty slick. Personally, I won’t convert until I get a new pc entirely. I’ll be due in about 6 mths or so. Just the tower. The memory available now blows my mind. And I thought I was pretty hot stuff 3 yrs ago with 4 megs of RAM… ahhh, technology.

And finally – painting colors & my prints. Since we’re remodeling Jennie’s old room into a guest room, I am once again tormented by what color to paint the walls. Seems pretty cut n’ dried – all neutral-ish except for one wall. The main “gallery” wall that I plan on hanging my Shag prints. I think I have 3 or 4 (yes, you know me & prints), but with all of the vibrant colors that he uses, I’m trying to remember which ones I have and of which “color scheme” they are. Actually, I think I have an orangey-pink-red one as well as an all-around blue, teal, greenish one, so I think it will be pretty much a crap shoot what color I paint the wall. Maybe a limey-but-not-blinding greenish… it’s a very bright room… we shall see. I’ll surprise us, k?

Alritey, time to make the donuts… OH, and if I don’t see you, have a marvelous Thanksgiving!!
