Speaking of moose - three different people I know here went moose hunting the EXACT same days... and none of them got a moose. I was really hoping I'd finally get to try moose-meat!

Also, Anika - do you have photographs of the art that decomposed? If you lived somewhere really metropolitan... umm.... well in Canada it's not like we have too much of that.... but any of the big cities... you could probably make a big stir with a macabre art exhibit. It sounds exactly like the sort of thing that would take place during Nuit Blanche in Toronto! I think your art actually sounds fascinating... but then, I sorta like the grotesque. But it's definitely an art movement so you are not alone!

I made myself a voodoo doll once. Made up my own pattern for him too. He was actually quite adorable and I called him.. I think I called him Victor. His pins were glued inside him. He was of the "so ugly it's cute" variety.
