These are two frames of an animation I did of a man flying on a door with wings. I built the man and the door and then chroma-keyed him into real footage of the sky.
Curiously enough, my life is currently like this animation. Perhaps not so much enchanted but rather precarious. Although I suppose enchantment may mean many different things. Maybe cursed would be a better word. I warn you all, I am followed by a black dark heavy curse and it is dangerous to even know me.
Well currently I'm somewhat... for lack of a better word... homeless. That's not to say I don't have a roof over my head, it's just that the roof isn't quite mine. My life's possessions litter my studio where Bruce is currently napping. You see, being the good girlfriend I am, I welcomed Bruce with open arms into a chaotic mouldy hell. That is... the "renovated" suite I was supposed to be renting. "Renovation" is the keyword. Not much of a word really but there are a few assumptions that go hand in hand with it, like, "new" or perhaps "safe" or... "repaired". None of these things seemed to be the case in my illegal suite.
But I jump ahead of myself! I mentioned mould. Well, I have no proof. I didn't see anything but what the "handyman" (oh Jerry, you devil you!) told me is too horrifying to mention. So I won't mention it. But I will mention strange allergic reactions and bloody noses. A curse! Not only did people who entered the apartment get bloody noses but those who stood near us outside would spontaneously start to bleed! A curse! It spreads like ebola.
I don't have the patience to describe more right now but suffice it to say I may have my day in court! Small claims court, that is. Not very glamourous and perhaps labouriously slow.
So for now, I hang on to this enchanted and cursed door and wait to see where it will take me.

Which came first, your cursed life, or the man on the door? Was the animation originally intended to be an analogy for your situation?
Actually the animation came first. But my thesis has thus far dealt with ideas of dislocation and space, so it seems very fitting... When are the photos of the kitchen under siege coming up? I'm waiting with anticipation!
Wow ms Soviet, good to see that your ol'time morbidity has not left you... I'm sure it would bring a smile to gibbsy's face, even if the memory of you would produce a tear to his eye...
They're already there. There's just two I took. My roommate has some more, but he hasn't sent them to me yet.
