Har, especially right now...Seems that Iowa has a huge pocket of dead air over it, so we're wallowing in our own air pollution. Fan-freakin'-tastic. There's even advisories saying that people shouldn't go jogging and such until the air gets moved.

*pounce*

Thanks for the comment on the Unicorn Fountain! Since the bowl is metal, I painted it with rust-proof treatment and painted the green texture on with acrylics. I also sealed the sculpey that was underwater with marine varnish, the kind they use on boats. I don't know what the long term effects of water on sculpey are, but I have noticed the submerged sculpey become a little brittle over time.

My friend is in Iowa for a month, another friend wants to hook up a girl I know with a kid from Iowa, a kid I know is going to a camp in Iowa... Heck, No offense, but Iowa is one of my least-thought-of states. (Second only to Nebraska, hehe) I'm just kidding, i'm sure Iowa is cool.

No no, your initial assumption of Iowa was correct. Pretty much the only good thing about it is that some exceptionally odd people crop up here, so if you can find them its all good.

Thanks for the comment on the Umeda Photo. It really is an odd building - usually I don't buy into modern architecture but this one won me over.

Hey no problem, and yeah, many, many courses of art history have raised my angst for architecture (plus its not my thing) but that was just funky looking.

I'm doing alright, need to update my journal and actually do some artwork, but I'm in rather balanced mood for a change.
