Holy Crap! An update!
Well I'm back from the dead with much to write about. Incase one of my 2.5 readers did not notice, which is quite possible seeing as one of them is blind and the .5 is my coffee cup, I have been updating my site within my forontes. (forum - plural) Incase you are wondering about the .5 - Emma my dog does not read my site anymore.
She's into the whole Gothic Lolita thing now and I'm not cool enough. Anyway, I had to replace her with my coffee cup.
So as for updates, here they are cut and paste from the forontes:

At least I didn't have to pass through the digestive system of a polar bear.
It was however, a summer vacation worthy of an Haiku. The greatest Haiku ever. Possibly even Haikese.
I last updated my blog several weeks ago. Full of childlike anticipation for my long-awaited mountainbiking trip to Nelson. Two weeks of sun, cycling and swimming. Well, make that two hours. Two hours after arriving in Nelson we received a phone call.
Our house had been broken into and everything was gone.
Oh wait! Wait there's more!
No insurance!
Yeah baby!
Let's take inventory here. We have (had) a home business. All gone.
Years worth of my work.
All gone.
Let's hear it for off site back up!! Hooray!!
Which we didn't have! Hoora...oh.
Shit!
Yeah that pretty much sums it up. Shit, caca, feces, dung, crap, excrement, guana, shiza and poo.
The last few years of photos, gone. My sketches, art, image libraries, video, writings, poems, excruciatingly embarrassing stuff....gone.
speaking of....if anyone out there has some images of mine that I have emailed to people over the last little while.....if you could send tham back it would make my day. But not yet. This is the first time I have been online in weeks and I don't have e-mail set up yet. So give me a week or so. Other than that, our $1000 printer, bike, leather jackets, sewing machine, clothing, jewellery... the list goes on an on....all gone.
But inspite of all of this, I am not down. No, I WILL NOT be defeated! You may rob me! you may take my material possesions! You may think you leave me with naught!
BUT NO!!
You cannot take from me my most FEARSOME weapon!!
IT'S HAI-FUCKIN-KU TIME BABY!!
Haaawwww...hai-ha-ungh-hoiauuugh
(you must imagine at this point that I am dressed in a terribly fearsome black martial arts style outfit as I run through some equally fearsome, matrix style martial arts moves to prepare for the most fearsome Haiku ever)
This will require patience and meditation and possibly a 6 month respite at a Shaolin Temple.
But I will return.
Fear not.
In other news, Enki and I have decided to rent no longer! We are buying a condo. More about this later.
Well, a lots happened since then. We did buy a place. We are moving in 3 weeks.
YAY.
I have been living with the in-laws the whole time and will be for another 3 weeks.
Not-so-YAY.
On one hand no privacy, on the other hand, we are catching up on our beauty sleep.
Here is a picture of my father in law:


He has a masters degree in chemistry and he grows vegetables.
So don't worry about me Mom, I am eating my veggies.
I don't ask how the vegetables got so big.
I just eat them.
Speaking of veggies. It's supper time. Gotta go.
By the way. Hi Kathy, the pics I showed you today are under the sketches link to your left, and then under my art portfolio.
Later.
