ruh-ruh-ruh-randomness–
–when i should by all sense and logic be in bed.
lotsa people ask to see artwork, and i feel like sucha loser having little to show. It’s either not scanned, or (insert list of excuses here.)
oh, and someday, i shall commit to a design and put up a website.
i’ve got the content and skills to do so, but the utter lack of ability to choose a direction or design.
right now i’ve gotta concentrate on the move . . . but after that
will someone please put the bullet in my mouth and force me to bite?
in the meantime, i love sending little artworks through the mail. . .
most recently these two posties!
and big hugs to klimtkat who immediately responded with postal Looooove. I got your letter today. 🙂
and a few days ago I looked outside and saw some big-ass snowflakes. and i took a picture.
oooooh and the new tori album came in the mail today– I love pre-ordering things because you always get them a little early!
Illustration Fuh-Riday
This week: Flight
My interpretation shows you I am all about the preparation these days!
hey, guess what 1 am is “late” for me now!
but i couldn’t help staying up–
I have discovered a dangerous new addiction.
the world of dvd screen capture.
see– now i can say, “i think this shot in deadwood, ep 12 is really pretty.”
and SHOW you!
illustrative!
what an oddly good kinda day!
I scanned in these illustrations– last week’s
friendship
this week’s The Year of the Rooster
The weirdest thing?
My computer (the one that hasn’t had sound in years . . .) now has sound. I did a dance of joy.
Let’s just say my computer savvy husband didn’t tell me that it’s lack of sound coincided with the installation of xp . . .
Nah. I shant blame him, but it was odd that I stumbled onto a solution when, if I had gone looking for one, I would have spent hours searching and downloading, and reading dumbass forums and rebooting . . .
The coolest thing?
I am soooo close to having this damn loan closed. *pants* It makes me out of breath just thinking of it.
The best thing?
I got books from amazon today . . . which I am diving into immediately following a bubble bath.
And I finished watching season one of Deadwood today. SOOOOOOOO Satisfying.
We aren’t going to talk about how addicted I am to cable tv shows.
I outright BOUGHT carnviale season one . . . .and it wasn’t cheap.
does anyone else . . .
live in mortal fear of walking into a dark room of their home and stepping into a pile of fresh cat hork?!?
just wondering.
cuz when i entered my house tonight i felt myself tense up.
and when i asked meself, now why did my shoulders just rise to my ears (?)
I laughed out loud when I realized that I
am terrorized by hairballs
(and regurgitated food from one cat who, despite a belly that drags the ground, thinks he’s starving and swallows
his food–and the others if he can– in one great swallow.)
how does one teach a cat to masticate?
well, it’s the wind-down after work, where I can easily get trapped into staying up all night.
I just can’t relax right away. But my goal is to get to bed in the next 15 minutes, to preserve my new schedule.
*nighty night*
t r a n q u i l i t y
*drip*
*drip*
yes, that’s sarcasm oozing from each space in that word.
i have had, for what is coming upon three days now, the most aggravating migraine.
mostly it feels like someone is wringing out the muscles and whatnot behind my left eye.
great visual, huh?
you’re just lucky i didn’t illustrate it for you.
so yes, i am typing while squinting my left eye and as doped up on excedrin as one can get.
the comfort continues in my queen size bed.
to my left? one spouse.
may the gods and goddesses of a sleep disorder study bestow rest and productive sleep upon us both soon.
it’s honestly like darth vader with a head cold and sleep apnea.
snoring, wheezing
and then three seconds or so of tense silence.
then a great GASP.
repeat.
for eight hours.
at my feet?
what i can only imagine an amateur porn shoot would sound like.
but, no.
i have a cat— the heinous calico bitch—
who insists on slurping and chewing her own ass.
at 3am and in my bed.
it’s quite a cacaphony.
and we wonder why *my* sleep schedule is SCREWED.
