http://www.myspace.com/darleneanitascott Full moon and my body’s behaving accordingly: Lethargy and insomnia at the same time (imagine that), the dubious and nagging insinuation of migraine, an incorrigible appetite and that mad scientist creative urge that will not be satiated until I have a bedroom floor full of doo-dads and what-nots and some reconstructed summer shirts.

Daydream Sequence #7

Various pieces of their clothing, including the requisite kerchiefs, were the same color and signaled this to me. While I was not a member of [...]
