Weather, art, and religion.

[reymonkey]

It was over 80 degrees earlier this week, just a couple days ago. This morning I wake up and it's snowed enough to stick in the grass and on the cars.
What the monkey??!

I have art I need to work on, I need to do a new concept sketch for Courtney because I've got something good and gerbil-y in mind, and I passed 5,000 pageviews on DA! The chick that caught it wants a picture of her gargoyles OC, so that's doable. In the meantime I've been catching up on older sketches I'd started and meant to finish. Today we've got some of Melene's people, the amoye, doin' a little voodoo dance ritual thing. My newest character gets a sketchpage gone mad in full color. Meet Oracle, and try not to look too close at the bottom right image. Yagh. What was I thinking? This was the only part I had drawn just in pencil and then it sat around a while. More info on the DA page.

In the household Etsy shop, the Steampunk Sloth Mechanic is up for sale, and thanks to Shad there's two sets of bookmarks, a shell themed set, and a wordy themed set. Spread the word people! Because I fail at advertising the shop. We only have two sales. Ever. I must be doing something wrong.

Lots of arting and jobhunting and going outside before it snowed. A friend directed us to a job opening at a unitarian universalist church. I went, 'Church? No thanks. Organized religion scares me.' and then Bridgie pointed out exactly what unitarian universalism is, because I wasn't familiar with it.
Basically it's... disorganized religion? I dunno. They're GLBT friendly and open to all kinds of stuff and... it almost sounds like my own supposedly undefineable beliefs. So they've got my resume and I've talked to them on the phone, and even if I don't get the job it might be kind of interesting to go see them...

SO there's the Friday morning update!

UU

Agreed about the UU thing. In Madison, they don't even call it a church. It's the Unitarian Meeting House. I kind of wonder if they need "church" in their name because it's Virginia and in order to get various funding, they need to call themselves a church. I don't really know though. Anyway, I'm a capital A atheist (though I technically consider myself a Humanist) and I would go if I had the time. I got married at the UMH in Madison (designed by Frank Lloyd Wright).

That's probable, when I was reading about it there was some stuff about legal decisions where they were accused of not technically being a religion at all.
I think we've had some of that discussion before. You know I don't have a problem with it. ;) But my upbringing was just so wacky, spiritually speaking...

So anyway, I called and got an eml that wasn't on the website, and she emled me back right away, but they're interviewing and stuff. I really appreciate the heads up!

So are you going to get an interview, did she say?

Err... she said they'd call or eml me in the next week, so I don't know yet.
