Latest and Greatest


Dear Black Belladonna Blog Followers:

It's been awhile since I've made a post, and I apologize. See, what most people don't understand about procrastination is that it can be debilitating. And I have been trying to escape reality though a smorgasbord of Facebook games. Now that I think my brain has completely turned to mush, I can't stand it anymore! As much as I am trying to fight the urge to think and create, I'm losing. Thus, here is a blog post.

Jennifer LaRue from the Spokesman came out on Monday to interview me. All my years working on the base newspaper in the Air Force, I have never been interviewed by anyone before. I was very apprehensive about this interview because from what I heard through the grape vine was that this woman was very assertive and that I shouldn't be wishy washy. My experience with most other alpha females is that I typically back down. It's pretty certain I would be "bitch" status in prison. So, I attempted to approach the interview slightly guarded. Of course, my incessant need to fill empty silence with my sarcasm and chatter pretty much screwed that up.

Long story short: It was amazing and I think I made a friend. I am so touched by what this woman wrote about both myself and my art, I can't seem to think of her as any other way.

I will post a link to the story when it comes out.

I haven't been painting much. I have another one started that Stefan posted that I really really just started. I'll take a picture of it's progress.

Thanks for those of you still subscribed to this blog. Trust me, I'll slowly (very slowly) get it going. Somehow.
The next few days I will be focusing on selling my art somehow and taking full advantage of my 15 minutes of fame.  It's late and I think I have some cows to feed in Farmville.


Bye!
Joy
