HeadacheHeadacheHeadacheHeadache

Ouchie. It hurts. Need moar sleep, less flash games.

I have been playing flash games like some sort of crazy person, sitting in front of my computer clickclickclicking the mouse. ah, it's fun.

Worst St. Ives advertisement of all time!

This is the first real drawing I've finished in a long long time. It's not great, but better than normal. What's shocking about it is that I'm getting better at drawing more than one character at a time.

I did this for Chris for Valentine's day as a gift :D

Sorry for the crappy photos. I've got a new camera and tripod on my list of future purchases. Shaky hands ftl!

:)





I've been reconnecting with old friends. I suppose myspace isn't as useless as it seems.

I find myself wholly, profoundly blessed with all of the people that are dear to me in my life. We may be born alone, and go home alone, but we're not ever alone in it.

I felt that this warranted some photos of cute animal pals.

Arts & Craps

My storage cabinets!
I do have a lot of supplies, but I've got a real strange variety. Coloured pencils, markers, clay, beading and crafting supplies, various glues, TONS of felt, watercolours, acrylics, resin supplies. gold leaf (LMAO weird I know...), stamping stuff, soldering iron and solder (LOL),grommets and eyelets and other such dainty scrapbooking stuff that's great for bookmaking, tons of chipboard....and etc!
I've got this real nice closet that I can use for my stuff like an extra cabinet :D This is GREAT for all my different types and sizes of papers.


Hooray!

It's practically done for now. I am working on getting a new table to do my work on though, since my computer takes this one over.
I'm looking forward to starting some artwork again! I think, as I mentioned before, my next attempt will be dioramas and adding more 3dimension to my drawings. so I'll start incorporating more felt and beads and different things.
Been listening tons to Live's albumn "The Distance To Here". I really love Live. And this albumn, though it's from 1999, is starting to mean more and more to me now. I adored it when it came out...it's got such beautiful imagery and interesting music. But now it really is meaningful for me, too. I used to think they were all love songs but I can see now they're about being awakened spiritually.
Speaking of which, I am going to join a Spiritualism community. Spiritualism is basically a belief in the soul and survival after death and that it's possible to contact spirits and such. I have a good feeling that this will be really good for me, and I'm excited but nervous, too. Along with "church", they offer courses and seminars and stuff. Ooh la la! :D
I bought some presents for my darling Vanessa....one of them totally on impulse (thanks to Chris!). VANESSA, you haven't emailed me back yet you goon!!

Why I love Prince...

From the song 18 & Over:

"18 & over, I wants 2 bone ya "

"Hi-yo Silver, it's the Bone Ranger, I'll freak U 2 the marrow
With a little somethin' that I call the wheelbarrow "

Hahahahahahahaha YES! TSR!

Crash Love...?

I'm listening to AFI's Crash Love albumn. While the lyrics make me cringe in comparison to the beauty of some of Davey's lyrics of yore, ("I saw a body. You said you've seen a few" lol waht.....) musically it's quite beautiful. There's lots of delicate little touches that aren't apparent when you first listen, but with each listen they come forward more and more.


I can't find my camera cable. Must have been attached to my computer, along with my portable usb, when it was stolen. BUT, my fancy new computer has an sd slot as Chris pointed out to me. Here are some fun photons.


The fridge hasn't been this clean in ages. It kind of looks sexy, doesn't it? Maybe it's cause I love cold water. Hahaha

My table! I bought the placemats from Etsy seller Alphabet City Studio, and they can actually be used as reusable cloth napkins too. I think they look snappy as placemats...that way they can be on the table all the time ;D!! I actually found this table set on eBay. Chris sniped it for me. The table and chair frames are original from the 50's but the chairs have been re-upholstered so they're squishy soft and clean :D Candy jars are from my Abe exhibit. LOL


Table in action. Chris will not be pleased when he sees I put this photo up. Oh well, he knows I'm a troll!

Just realised I asked Chris to redownload the entire Prince discography, only to discover I had the one he downloaded for me the first time around saved on disc and I just found it.....oh. shit. Hahahahaha the perils of having a memory as functional as a guppie's.
