ahhh yes....it's a lovely friday night and i'm packing for "that time of the year." that's right.......cape baby. nuff said. it'll be less than 24 hours til i see los primos (lovin' the spanglish) and we can wreak a little havoc. and as i'm sitting here packing i'm realizing just how much crap needs to get done by september. when did i become a person with an actual agenda....dare i say, social calendar? (let's not get carried away here) so to all y'all who don't know already, i have not one, not two, but three bloody shows at the same time in september (news of the third one came today)............what the #$%& ?! hell to the no (that was for you effie). when it rains it pours but it's taking some getting used to. i talked with one of my father's old buddies today and i was telling him about the whole artist thing (because he had no idea what i was talking about but let's face it, neither do i) and he said,"well, as long as you're making money." i think i flat out laughed in his face. but good times, good times. something to tell the grandkids.....good 'ol laquisha and herb.

so, it's been a pretty good week. i've heard back from more galleries than i thought i would and the response has been positive. that can only mean that the anvil is about to fall on my head....any second now. me + good news never happens and it usually means that something bad is around the corner (talk about your glass being "half-full"). it's gonna be nice to just let loose and actually have a vacation for once without focusing on deadlines and money and creative bumps. however, miss jennifer, andrew, and hameer helped start the vacation a little early with "game night." sure, game night was fun but it wasn't until we busted out the leg wrestling that the real fun began. and to all those right now who are currently scratching their heads - don't knock it til you try it. and yesterday was the big 'ol 6th anniversary of syph and herp....yup, i brought back the nicknames, you didn't think i'd forget did you? i'm really happy for you guys but you sure know how to make a gal jealous....i kid, i kid.

which brings us to today. let's see....finished packing, talked to effie and realized that i'm gonna have to take another trip to the d.c. area, randomly ran into a "friend" of mine who no longer talks to me and seems to have developed a strange fetish, saw the profile of an old crush's sister on myspace and felt like a sixteen year old girl all over again (and now i can't stop thinking of him), talked to dad's friends, talked to jenn, and now i'm here, babbling away and many have learned way too much about my day (and leg wrestling) and are pondering the so-called friend's "fetish." so, moving on.....this will be my last post before the cape (sorry it wasn't a good one) and my birthday. feel free to send me the love.
