PWX Wrasslin’
Random event on a Friday night: a wrestling event at a walking-distance theater. (Same place I saw Beats Antique, oddly enough.) After crawling some galleries and listening to the chilling words of a sculptor who believes himself very close to the end of his work (via death), we toddled over to the theater, got our tickets, and awaited the show.

Weekly Linkage
This week’s internet cruising: Seriously? – bitquabit – [H]e identified the Three “P”s of entrepreneurship: 'Profits, people and…you can figure it out.' [Muttering amongst the audience.] 'Women. People, profits, and women. Or men. Whatever. People, profits, and women.' No, no. He really means "Profits, people, and pussy." That shit's not funny.

Much less pain for the touch-up, but the itching may drive me nuts if it doesn’t end soon. Luckily, it’s healing very quickly. Have some good reading: Tony and Hilary’s Tiny Loft Apartment – I feel like it's been forever since I read The Tiny Life blog, but what a purdy little house to come back to. Six Thoughts On The Case Of The Breast-Feeding Professor | Alas, a Blog – "The child was allowed to crawl on a floor! Shocking! She had to take…

DragonCon–An Artful Success
DragonCon was last weekend, and I think I’ve recovered from about 80% of the stress of it. One thing that should never, ever have happened was me entering the art show rooms. Holy shit, that blew my mind.
