I got picked up this morning at 9am for my first in-car driving class.
HOLY GOD.
I was terrified and anxious as hell. I stayed terrified, but the anxiety passed. The instructor was very nice and patient with me. Thank heavens. I did okay, though I’m totally new at all of this and [...]

I started my Driver’s Education class today. From 8am to 2:30pm, I was downtown at the workforce essentials building. Surrounded by high school students(whom I think I scared), being the only real adult there, I listened to our teacher spend all day detailing one standard fact about the act of driving:
It’s totally freakin’ [...]

Something that occurred to me tonight, while audiosurfing. Weird, I know. In any case… this new project should be fun. Concept sketch below:

I’m reading through the bulletin for APSU and I think I’m shorting a wire somewhere in the grey matter upstairs.
Holy undead Jesus - I’m old and stupid. I’m slowly starting to understand all the college mumbo jumbo whositwhatsit, and I’m looking forward to talking to someone THERE to ask my questions. Boy do [...]

Something floats above me, casting down a shadow, a murkiness across my vision. Nothing glitters quite the way it used to. Nothing feels quite as soft as I remember.
I’ve wandered into a dark place, a thick fog of familiar stench. I’ll bury myself underneath the weight of it for a while.
Two newer [...]

Crap, there goes 2008. It wasn’t a bad year. It had its moments; some good, some bad, some inspirational. As I reflect on this, Elsy is purring in my ear as she pwns my shoulder once again. I think she missed me while I was gone this past weekend. (which was [...]

The last week or so has been a major pain. What started out as a simple project to SLI my computer turned into a week+ of having to hang around on my laptop. I actually kind of enjoyed it! Cuddling on the couch under a blanket, watching movies on my macbook.
I will [...]

I’m not sure what’s going on with me lately. I really cannot put my finger on the why. Like a switch, something has flickered on inside. I’m actually doing more art… and it’s baffling me! I’ve been doing something semi-artistic for the last 4 years, just no actual painting/pieces. Just [...]

I’m such a freakin’ whiner. Really. I didn’t used to think so. Perhaps it’s old age(yeah). I’m not quite sure what I can get out of whining about this now. I rarely go on about negative crap like this, so I have to get in my quota for the year.

Just a small update!
I’ve been hard at work lately with an art project I started in July. It’s a comic-book inspired image that will be printed and hung on my wall. Squee! Still in progress, but you can find the progression here in Projects. Keep an eye out!

Whoa, where have I been! Busy in all sorts of fields of interest. Most of it all good! I mean, my mom made it through surgery and is currently cancer free. Huge load off my mind, of course I can only wish her the best in recovery.
My tattoo healed okay! [...]

Wednesday evening, sometime around 6pm, I showed up at Tattoo Technique for a consultation appointment with Andy Casali regarding a tattoo design I’d created. This design was to be an anklet tattoo with a mermaid focal point. It was inspired by the Dethklok song, Murmaider. I showed him the new design and he asked me [...]

Last week was pretty damn busy. We went to Exit/In for my birthday and saw mc chris. Yes! Finally! I had a freakin’ great time, even though the dive booked 2 openers in addition to chris’ opener. He was not pleased, omg, I think he fired his promoter too [...]

Dante has been with us a week now. We picked him up at the airport last Thursday and he has been quite the addition! He was rather stressed the first few days, not eating much and being defensive. Since then, he has eaten much more, allowed us to pet his back and [...]

I’m so goofy.
Dante comes home tomorrow! I’m so excited, and have so much to do! I’ll be putting together some birdie food today for the next week or so and hope we have a fine time adjusting overall. Susie Christian and Lisa have been just so nice and helpful about all of [...]
