Your homework for this weekend

Help me come up with a concept for my 365 Portrait next week!

Guidelines:

Nothing that requires special permits, special effects makeup, nor the rental of any costumes

No nudity (I'm not getting paid for this.)

No suicide or self-mutilation (Again, I'm not getting paid for this.)

(I looked through the site to see how many people I knew did it already. Answer: 3, with 2 more queued up.)

PS I totally stole this from Jessica. We're a day apart, with Mo Rocca in between us.

The Garden

I found out there's a Lowes kind of near me in a very industrial section of Gowanus. I wandered there in the nice weather. Well, Lowes is known in PLANT CIRCLES (/= crop circles) as a place to often find really weird plants for no good reason. And they had an item that's been on and off my list for a while, and it was $4.


They remind me of lipstick for some reason but tacos is more accurate.


I couldn't resist--it was wagging its tail at me begging me to take it home. Actually a flower stalk--went online and the Latin name graveolens apparently means stinky. They in fact smell like Jelly Belly popcorn jelly beans.

This was it in January!!!

To get back to HUGHESboro before Matt goes to Vegas to tape the next season of THE ULTIMATE FIGHTAAAAARRRRR means I have to write 9 pages a day...for the next eleven days. And you know what? I did it today with the first nine. It was a brilliant scene, the scene of his accepting Jesus which was some of the best writing I have ever done. Kudos to me!!!! (!)

The Virtue of Selflessness

I have completely lost my personality. I think about Matt Hughes 24/7 because I have to write the scenes in his voice and I need to get into his head. All my stories are Matt Hughes stories, and no one I know cares at all.

I have absolutely nothing to talk to anyone about.

OK, some plant stories but Christ, if the B-side is "how I saved my expensive plant from Kataf which looked dead but might have been dormant" I might as well just die. BTW, I dogsat yesterday and when I was cleaning up I accidentally touched the poop and I briefly contemplated suicide as a consequence I was so disgusted.
