watercolor days

watercolor mornings
when a friend comes up with a perfect plan to curate
and another finds a revelating new title for everything you do
watercolor days
when the sky is leaded gray laden with soppy clouds and blots and drips
makes pinks and purples and yellows and reds and greens pop through the radiating sorrow
the sadness that comforts, the bright spots that energize

A new band

Synthia Saiser and Ronald Raygun are the Joymagnets!

We spazz, we gyrate
We galactate
Synths the milky one
Rons the magnetic one
Each night we string our strings in a web and ping, ping
Striking each note, like, ting, ting
Funny little spiders making music
Each night we string our strings all through the house
making joyful noise drawing you closer and closer

Synthia Saiser presents:

Lady with the tall hair

she's gone now, been a few years
la la la lady with the tall hair
she was my first spy mission
my first detection intuition
it was failed
la la la lady with the tall hair
she's no bride of Frankenstein
still i like to call her mine
in that old dimension
la la la lady with the tall hair
is gonna electrify you
with her sa-sa-super shampoo
get your hair to climb-a higher!
with her sa-sa-super dryer
 (ball hair babes!  ball hair babes!)

So now she sleeps
the forever dream
My that was fun
watching you wipe your poodle's bum
Thank you for being a kid's daydream
Thank you for being a spa-spa-spa-spooky lady
I'm talking about you, my paranoiac neighbor lady

 (interlude)

la la la lady with the tall hair
la la la lady with the tall hair
she's electrified me (and she'll shock you too)
with sa-sa-super shampoo
la la la lady with the tall hair
and her sa-sa-suped-up sa-sa-super dryer
got my hair a-climbin' higher and higher and higher and higher and higher and higher and higher!
Yow!

Moog Relief Fund

I don't think I have to tell you how wonderful it would be if more people had Moogs.  I'm starting a Kickstarter fund in order to help all those in need of Moogs.  People shouldn't have to explain themselves or write a 2 or 1 page essay about the reasons for wanting or needing a Moog.  Let's make it happen! Let's give these people what they want!  Moogs!

Personal story.  I really need a Moog.  My life would be better if I had one.  I could possibly start making music.  I don't have to tell you this and I shouldn't have to!  I just need one.  Soon.  Please. Just give me one.  Okay?

Now don't let anyone else grovel, just send Moogs to this fund to get me and who ever else needs a Moog.  Thank you.

Or!  Please send Vibes to my other Kickstarter: Vibes Relief Fund.
Yeah, I need vibes too.  Don't ask!

this could be me

this could be me too

Send Moogs, Vibes or Keyboard Guitars to:
Synthia Saiser

Useful links for me, a parent

So you don't have to freak-out about causing an outbreak at daycare: AAP inclusion/exclusion list for daycare
My go to for breastfeeding and beginning solid food questions: KellyMom
Yes I've had to call poison control, so far 3 times: (Windex spritz, Benedryl crumbs and rubber tree chew): American Association of Poison Control Centers  -The nurse has always been very nice and calming and offers to call back in an hour. I accepted on all three calls even though she assured me that my child was probably fine. He was.

Meditating on Joan Blondell, Blondell, -dell, -dell, -dell

I watched Desk Set the other day and Joan Blondell was one of the reference Librarians.  I recognized her face, but couldn't remember from what.  Grease.  Joan was from a Vaudeville family, the "Bouncing Blondells".  She made her first appearance on stage at 4 months old.  She starred in a lot of movies with James Cagney and was also one of the most highly paid persons in the U.S. during the Great Depression.  Her rendition of a song called, "Remember my Forgotten Man" was considered an anthem of sorts for the unemployed.  Joan Blondell, Joan Blondell, Joan Blondell, -dell, -dell, -dell, -dell, -dell....

I am koselig

"Norwegians embrace the idea of koselig, or "coziness" – that making the conscious effort to light candles and fires, drink warm beverages and snuggle under blankets can be enjoyable and relaxing."  -from this article.
Of course!"Koselig is the Norwegian schadenfreude."  -from this article

Isn't this good (Norwegian wood)?

It is upon us

Let the season of the bloody knuckle begin!

Keep the channel open

I try to remember this:

“There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep yourself open and aware to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open. ... No artist is pleased. [There is] no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is only a queer divine dissatisfaction, a blessed unrest that keeps us marching and makes us more alive than the others”
 - Martha Graham
   

Morning hits

"Milk belongs with cereal" -pleads my 3 year old son when confronted with dry cereal.  I know, dear, it's true.

The car is packed, one last thing, almost done..baby in the car seat, here we..uh..oh no..wait, don't cough, no, ok, no, wha...noooo!  Deflated and defeated...I'm late.  Clean the baby and a change of clothes...at least she's smiling.  Set baby aside and clean the car seat.  Vinegar will do.  Put a towel down, add baby.  Still smiling.  On our way.  "She may smell like a pickle, but she's fine."

Pro-"life" woman thinks I'm giving her a thumbs up.

sleeping is sci fi!

“People say, 'I'm going to sleep now,' as if it were nothing. But it's really a bizarre activity. 'For the next several hours, while the sun is gone, I'm going to become unconscious, temporarily losing command over everything I know and understand. When the sun returns, I will resume my life.'

If you didn't know what sleep was, and you had only seen it in a science fiction movie, you would think it was weird and tell all your friends about the movie you'd seen.

They had these people, you know? And they would walk around all day and be OK? And then, once a day, usually after dark, they would lie down on these special platforms and become unconscious. They would stop functioning almost completely, except deep in their minds they would have adventures and experiences that were completely impossible in real life. As they lay there, completely vulnerable to their enemies, their only movements were to occasionally shift from one position to another; or, if one of the 'mind adventures' got too real, they would sit up and scream and be glad they weren't unconscious anymore. Then they would drink a lot of coffee.'

So, next time you see someone sleeping, make believe you're in a science fiction movie. And whisper, 'The creature is regenerating itself.” 

-George Carlin
