I've finally created a website:
It's still a work in progress, so pardon the plain design.

Finalmente.

I managed to schedule a meeting with the professor, after a week of leaving voice messages and calling his office at various hours throughout the day. I left a note under his door and he gave me a call.
So many people. And cinnamon capsules.
I need some polyeurathane.
Throw it away.

People never fail to confound or frighten me.
I want to go fly a kite, but have no one to go with until after dark.
I'd like to just hop in the car and go exist without words for a short while.
I like giants.

I'm sick of dealing with shitheads. Good grief.

I'm loving my day off. I spent a few hours reading at Starbucks away from people. I'm curretly reading Pussy, King of the Pirates by Kathy Acker. It's certainly interesting, and will probably be one of the few books I'll read through more than once.I'm enjoying my renewed creative energy.
Now if only I could sort out things with people. And improve my correspondence; I'm rotten at keeping in touch.
"Being gods, they were more hysterical, more fearful, more desperate, more emotional than humans."
I've really been wanting to read some Ray Bradbury lately, but I've got to make some progress on my 'to read' list before I'll indulge myself.
I hope they don't slaughter Philip Pullman's work when they make a movie of it.

Hopeful but cautious.
I found a disposable camera recently while sifting through my things. I'm going to get it developed today. It's always exciting when this happens; I have no idea what might be on it, hopefully I'll find a nice little treasure or two.
Did some doodles last night, none which are all that great. I'm rusty.
Warbling.

Mumbling, shuffling, slow. Monsters pass me. Thankfully my shadow is standing close and they pay no heed.Just needed to jot that down somewhere before I forgot it; there might be a little drawing to accompany it later.
Tomorrow I will find a new job and decide on whether I'm going to school this semester. While I'm at it I might as well get a phone book and find the local art supply store.
Doldrums.
2007-06-07
Lost myself in the doldrums of life.I'm navigating my way out, which is no easy task.
I'm hoping to have an adventure this weekend.
Quick sketch..

Flexing - A drawing done from a photograph I took.
I freehanded most of his little tree, so pardon the awkward spots.
I love visiting the aviaries when I go to the zoo.
I'm not sure what type of bird he is.
He's in need of a name.
I hope it rains again.

I could listen to her all day.
Well..

I think the interview went well. It took three hours! I spoke with the owner of the school, and he was very nice. The whole thing is family-owned and operated, the classes are small, and the prices reasonable.I do believe I'll take their courses.
One thing I did learn today that I wasn't so keen on was that even if I am nationally certified as a massage therapist I will still (most likely) have to re-take massage school as well as a certification exam if I move to another state.
When I got home from my walk this evening it was as though everyone's energy had dissipated.
Nervous.
2007-03-27
Interview tomorrow! I spoke with the owner of the Massage Therapy school on the phone today, he and his staff sound friendly.. I hope I'm accepted.Wish me luck!
If all goes well I'll be accepted, and be able to go to Georgia for a couple days before classes start.
My friend wants me to support her move there by moving there as well. I'm not so sure that'll happen, but I can at least pay a visit to see if I like it there.
I want to start doing a 'drawing a day,' but find it unlikely that I'll stick with it, so I'll start with a drawing a week. Feel free to nag me should I fall short of this goal.
To the Arboretum!
2007-03-24
I'm excited; I love visiting the Arboretum. I'll take my camera and hopefully capture a few amazingly beautiful pictures.Last night I found yet another of my old drawings, they're popping up all over the place.
A good day? (:visible boob warning:)
2007-03-23
Probably not. Oh well, I'll live.So much to do! I feel like whining about it, but I'll fight the urge!
I found Toby's original napkin sketch and scanned it:
You can see he underwent a little attitude adjustment between this drawing and the colored one I posted. :) I like him even when he's being a pizza brat.
I also found another original napkin drawing:
I included a boob warning in the title so those who are easily offended could steer clear.
I resized them both before uploading them, but the hosting site is still taking forever to shrink them down. I'm going to have to stop being so lazy and just tweak the sizes more before I upload them.
I want to build a website, but for some reason I'm having the hardest time going about it. I've already put together the beginning of three different sites I could do, but about halfway through I lose interest in them. Any web-junkies have some helpful tips for me? I'd like to either have a money-making affiliate site, or a gallery site to host my art.
Again, any suggestions are welcome.
Some doodles...
2007-03-22
I was digging around my files and found a few old doodles I scanned.Go easy on them; most originated on napkins during lunches or car trips.
This is Toby, he was named by a friend of mine.
This one was a gift for my sister.
This is Chloe.
These are all I could find; they're all about 1.5 years old, and I think I might have posted them on my old blog a while ago, sorry if they bore you. Once I get some free time I'll start drawing again... Really I ought to make time to draw. (Shame on me.)
Sorry if some of them are a little large, I resized them on the image hosting site, but it usually takes a little while until the changes go into effect.
Today was a bit stressful.
It would be so much easier to be inconsiderate, but then I'd be something I hate.
Another quick update.
2007-03-19
Here are a few of the photos I got to today:
(I really enjoy the photo of the chickens.)
It's interesting looking at them and knowing I'm related to most of these people, but not having any clue who they are.
An update.
2007-03-19
I had some family in town; they came down to visit my aunt. While they were here they commissioned me to scan a ton of old photos they have and repair some of them, then compile them onto CDs for easy distribution and keeping.I'll be on the computer quite a bit for the next two weeks until I complete this project. I'm planning on posting the completed pictures on a flickr account, I'll post a couple of the photos here (my family doesn't want the majority of them online) so you can see some of the interesting old photos.
Until then, have a look at Chloe Piene's drawings:
I'll probably be on Yahoo messenger for a lot of the time I'm working on this project, so feel free to chat me up: bitter_wedge.

I did well today! Now if I could just keep it up.
I went to the gym a couple hours after I usually go and there was a good number of attractive young men. It's a shame I looked so horrid in my baggy workout clothes.
And another:
I'm fairly certain it would take me more than my lifetime to figure out how to do something like this.
Run!
2007-03-07
I woke up today wanting to spend the day moving. It's been a week since I've gone to the gym, and I really need to start working out again. I'll never make my goals at this rate.
I just need to get a new workout buddy - mine is currently in Georgia, and plans on going there often.
It also doesn't help that my family eats horribly. I did alright when I was living on my own; I would buy a ton of fruits and veggies, and treat myself occasionally to sweets, but my family always has bad food; they recently bought 8 boxes of girl scout cookies, and they always have a stash of chips and candy. I find it hard to resist, but I'm getting better.
I've just got to get used to working out alone, and being more disciplined.
I love the whimsical style Joy Ang's works posses.
I recently discovered the music of Jolie Holland, and I'm hooked. "Old Fashioned Morphine," and "Mad Tom of Bedlam" are my new favorites. You can check her out:
Some Feric tonight?

Monday. I feel like I'm stagnating.Tomorrow I'm going to job hunt.. And call up the massage school to see if they're worth the tuition.
I've been wanting to shave my head for a few years now, but if I do it now everyone will think I'm imitating Mz. Spears. Though if I had done it before they'd feel I was imitating someone else - Sinead O' Connor or some such. For some reason I want to free myself from the fear of being bald. I want to strip away the plumage that I am so attached to just to prove that I feel beautiful and feminine without it. I don't want to be comepletely bald, just down to about 1/4" to 1/2", I think it would feel wonderful.
It might be that having two very close female relatives go through chemotherapy has made me realize that hair is so incredibly insignificant. Most things are.
I still don't have the guts to do it.
I was looking at some of Eric Feng's work today, I really love his style.
One more.
2007-03-04
One more post now that I'm done messing around with all of my settings.I did set this up on my Mac, so if it's not displaying nicely let me know so I can work out the kinks.
Jane Alexander's "Butcher Boys"It always takes me forever to fall asleep... I need to start exhausting myself again.
Another first..
2007-03-04
And most likely not the last.I hope to post some art on here; lately I've been lazing about and not creating anything, and I hope this will encourage me to start again.
I'll also use this site to shamelessly promote artists I admire. I'll be sure to give credit to artists when I post their works on here, and will clearly mark when something is my own.
Enjoy.
