into the woods.


2009's first mushroom sighting!
a lonely lorchel lounging out in the woodsliness.
after a long winter without seeing any of my mycological homeboys,
it was nice to get out amongst the trees and find this guy.
it's a false morel,
and it's a fattie-boombattie, too.
alas,
unlike the delicious regular morel mushrooms,
this one would probably cause a spate of problems,
from 'rrhea to headaches to even nausea and hallucinations.
and while i love a disphoric bellyache as much as anyone,
(maybe even a bit more than most)
i thought it better to let him live out his life all by his lonesome,
outside of my bellyhole.

it looks like a chocolate brain on a stick.
all this colder wetter weather is good for somethin' at least.
even if the biggest plus+ on the list
is a comparatively smallish bumpy lumpkin on the forest floor.


grow.
i mean,
c'mon.
a fern covered in fur?
nature wins.
every time.


i may actually even do a color tattoo today.
which is kind of a surprise at this point,
since i do 11x more blacks and greys these days...
and,
i'm starting my workday the same exact way i ended my last one:
a boston 'B' red sox tattoo.
because i'm obviously the world's biggest sports enthusiast.
it's my own personal no-hitter!
who's winnin'?
ME, my ninjas.
another 'nother other one for the ages.
i've got a long day ahead.
made even longer by the rain-soaked atmosphere all around me.
it's dark and dreary.
it's damp and doo-doo buttery.
but,
it'll all be over too soon,
and the packing and preparing that supplants the tatty o'zappin'
isn't exactly a warm welcome home....
busy busy busy, ya'll.
all day and most of the night.
we've got plans and plots,
schemes and capers,
big actions and move-makin' in the works.
it's thursday.
it's thor's day.
it's the thunder-bringin' day.
it's the perfect day for a lightning-striking viking.
louder than ten,
harder than ever,
never quiet, never soft.....
