gwyn_hwyfar about south mountain's snarly yow got me to thinking on what poet byron called the black dog days (being the downside of of his bi-polarity). the "black dog" is, in fact, so common a symbol at this point as a harbinger of death/suicide and/or a symbol of depression that it's commonly used as such by treatment institutes (though this institute in particular falsely attributes the coinage to winston churchill ~ foo).
anyway, my point is, it's been a pretty black dog summer for me and not looking to immediately improve. normally i would resort to making paper dolls, but i don't even feel like doing that much (which oughta tell ya somethin'). for my own good, nonetheless, i have been piddling with paint and contemplating possibilities, which i know i vowed to stay away from, but i've never been sensible about these things.
i don't plan on posting here much until i can better unmungify ~ i will try to follow along and comment as i can, and post now and then so you know i'm still poking about, but for the time being, i just dunna have anythin' to say. i'm hoping when i check in, it will be for leaps and strides. no more downers from this corner of the woods.
