Flight of the Dragon

Today, a dragonfly broke into my house. So I chase it around for a while trying to capture it. Eventually, I gave up because it was dive bombing me. After a hour or so, it landed on the door so I opened it and off it went.A praying mantis nest also hatched in the courtyard and there were little mantises living all over the place. Another spider killed, bringing the spring spider body count to an official 8 since the beginning of spring. All other bugs, creatures and insects get to live.I also have a stray cat that’s been coming around for a few years. She’s a white cat but she was always dirty and looked almost light brown. These days, she’s sparkling white again and I feed her once a day when I’m in town.When Dill was here the second day, he saw her at the door and said, “There’s your cat Shitlip.’Shitlip……she’ll answer to anything, really.Speaking of Dill, I interviewed him about his photography, his role in Fucking Awesome, always being on the road, skateboarding, his views on the ’streetwear’ these days and some other stuff.Unfortunately, it’s really long so what I’ll probably do is transcribe it, get some of his photographs and shop it around to a magazine. It’s way too long to post as a blog entry.But I’ll keep you updated in regards to that.This is Shitlip. You can call her Shitlip if you like:scumstache.jpgTomorrow or the next day, I’m going to upload some photos. I know most of my entries so far have been wordy so I’ll let some photos do the talking for a while.
