So...The X-Files comes back this year...just a couple of days. I'm just about dying from the anticipation :D I feel like I'm 15 again, waiting after such a looooong summer to see if Mulder was really dead or how they got out of it - Scully would never lie! This time...summer lasted over 13 years - it's from Saturn. I've been writing some X-Files "fan poems" in the interim, the challenge being to write a poem for each season using each of the episode titles from that season. I've finished season 4! I don't keep those here at first...they get uploaded directly to a lovely little X-Files fan group (the first X-Files fan group on DA, almost 10 years old now!), XPhilesAnonymous - check it out man, good times (GREAT artists).

I'm Alive

3 min read


I don't feel like making an all new journal entry...so just know that 2015 has been a great year. I haven't done much artistically, but I've traveled and had nerd-tastic moments with friends.

No class this fall semester, so the annual visit to Chicago was delayed until October...an was the best one ever, as some of the leaves were starting to change and I wasn't freezing. Apples!

My Swiftwind costume for DragonCon* was more boss than the world could handle. My Stormer was pretty rad too.

Flying & driving to Voss, Norway in search of the ancestral farm my name came from was exhilarating...and so was the rest of Scandinavia! I love my Swedish cousins :love:

Phile-meets in Spring are a wonderful thing! Everyone came down to play in Florida, so I showed them a good time. Oh yes.

Sea turtles are still amazing.

All of my critters are still living (and oooold).

I have become pretty regular on Instagram, if you're interested: instagram.com/kamisch42/ (since I've been lazy about using my "real" camera...just sicking to the cell phone)

...is anyone else as excited as I am about X-Files in 2016??? Doubtful. You can argue with me all you want, but psht. B-)

I've been trying to make a Halloween themed poem a day for the month...I got a little sidetracked last week by illness & weddings, but it's goin' B-) Here's the one from today:

I didn't mean to kill you, darling,
You left me no choice -
My cavernous chest yearned so
For you to understand...
My love for you doth know no end,
No earthly shackles can keep me bound
To that ocean that I once slipped in.

I must say, my love, I must say,
Death's left me quite a mess! 
The pallor, the rot,
Squishy, vaporous sensations - 
But oh! When I saw you through the fog,
This ghoulish maw did grin,
Remembering what my heart felt long, 
Before time and worms and...things.

All I wanted was to touch that face,
My sweet, bonny boy -
Oh, the countenance!
But you screamed, my dear,
A lace of distaste to my fallow remains...
Your fear shan't be quelled by crowding
Now I'm mired by your jugular gems.

It's August...have some more nonsense...

Yesterday, I grabbed a footfull of butterflies
                      from the honeycombs of my eyes
 And wondered if the mangroves ever get that restless mind
           That sends antelope to anthills:
                     Turn their beaks into the wind,
                           And await some ghostly galleon
                           Long since lost to the ocean.

Happy August!

*** Farscape is being played on TV again on a lovely (what I am assuming is) new channel called PIVOT :) Made my night. I have the whole series on BR, but who cares?? TV is better!

I was relieving a friend, "Jess-Jess", at one of the radio consoles at work just now...and beingbored, I left her a nonsense poem. And then I realized I hadn't really written one since "Candy Covered Polka-Dots" :D I should get back to those...they were always fun.


 


Drinking Dr. Better


There are bloomers in my femur,


My jugular demands a truce.


There's no sanity in quixotic ink


So, I twist the ocean,


Drink my juice.


 


That is all friends.
