Woke up April Fools morning to a rent increase shoved under my apt door. The street is spelled wrong, the numbers are added wrong, and I kept thinking...wow what a good prank a landlord can do.
Unfortunately it wasn't a prank. Then I noticed Georgie had thrown up bright orange stuff in his food in the kitchen and was slumped listless in the corner. I noticed that the orange flowers I had in a vase were long gone but that the pollen residue was still on the floor by his dish. I googled the flower and saw this article.
So pretty much it states that Lily flowers are the most deadly to cats, and the number one cause of toxic deaths. Then it says you have approx 6 hours to save your pet.
No pressure?
So even though rent is due and your store needs to be vacated, you must race to the vet with your favorite friend.
$420 dollars later and it seems that G-boy is on the mend and road to recovery. Oh did I mention the other kicker...he said that he thought he was older than earlier predicted! What!! less years with my man?
Geez.
On the plus side- just found out that 90210 aired one of my shirts on SILVER as she was having a nervous breakdown. RAD, and she may be wearing it a lot.
and my friend Linlee told me that she noticed a cool Kate moss style.com link that had some of my art. Check it out here
To see the whole drawing scroll through the images til number 13!
I thought that it would be funny to play a prank on Mr. H- by telling him I just received some good news and some bad news. He was like, what? just read it. And I just left my computer open with this email on the screen:

>So, I know this is last minute but we are wondering if you are available to spend the month of May in London doing an artist exchange? I know it's short notice but we can pay for your passport to be rushed if you do not have one. This is a great opportunity and you will be put up in a great space where other artists have studios. There are some super cute guy artists staying in the same loft! We will also be helping cover costs while traveling. You will be coming back the first week of June. The exact dates are still up in the air but a little over 4 weeks. Let's get together and discuss this asap, we are excited since you have so many fans there!!
How is 1pm on Friday? I can come to you. Any yummy nearby suggestions? My
treat!

(his reaction was pretty priceless, silence. After I told him later it was april fools he said, "Man I kept thinking how bored I was gonna be"
On the funny revenge side: mr. H. sent me this April Fools Email: (I should set this up by saying I lease a car that I always feel is one step away from repo)

Wow! Reading about the flowers gave me a scary 'holy crap' moment. I too have a cat who loves, loves, loves getting into flower bouquets at home. And we have had lilies in the house one time or another. I'll know now not to have these flowers inside again. I hope Georgie is doing better.

london? that sounds great. do you think you'll go? well, if you want to visit glasgow too, you are of course welcome to stay with us. the flight's an hour or so, train takes 4 - 5 hours. (bus can take anything between 8 and 14, so avoid that!)
