March 16th

Sill find this hard to keep up with. I'm just not the bloging type so it just slips my mind. I know its not a good excuse but its the truth.

General stuff thats been happening: Fell down the stairs and bruised my tailbone AGAIN. As soon as my new studio apartment is inhabitable (which wont be for another 3-4 months at least) I'm moving in. Dont care if I have to live around putting the cabinets and things in and having all my clothes in boxes under the bed. I want away from the stairs that are, apparently, trying to kill me.

My tendinitis was getting better by last post but the friday after the last post I was at work, picked up a box that weighed probably between 18 and 20 pounds (good game none existent safety regulations), and promptly dropped it and almost screamed from the pain that shot up my arm. Next morning I was in Koke Mill where they gave me the wrong brace (one for my wrist but the problem was in my thumb) and a pain shot. Then proceeded to prescribe a low dose of anti inflammatory and didn't tell me NOT to take them till the next day. Took ONE about an hour before work. Took a short nap. Fell out of bed and crawled down the stairs half an hour latter. Turned out I accidentally OD'ed on the meds cuse they didn't warn me.


So THAT was a lovely weekend. @.@



!Art Updates!

-Photo Narative: Taking Sparta out tomarrow to get the pics I need.

-Pixel Girl: About 50% done. Will be posted by the weekend.

-Etsy: I have to change my Etsy project. The repetitive motion of cutting the board for the portfolios would cause more damage and slow the healing process to my thumb. Instead I plan on putting up a project from my drawing class.

-Collaboration: No change.

-Web Portfolio: I CAN SAVE! I'm anal retentive about websites so its "done" but not. @.@ This weekend.

-Stop Motion: No change.


!Topic of the day!

I guess this is more like a mini review. I just got the book "Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Slayer". So far I've only gotten about 1/3 of the way threw it but I have to say its amazing. A very interesting blend of fact and fiction. You have to have an open mind when reading it, though. Its not the typical view of Honest Abe.

March 3rd

I know Liz is probably gona give me a bad mark for this thing. >.< I have a reason for not posting recently though!
1) Monster flue persisted for another week after the last post.
2) My ISP decided to just die for about 2 weeks and because of a busy work schedule I couldn't make it to school to use a school computer.
3) I have sever tendinitis in my wrist and thumb which flared up. It went away a bit but its still painful to type, draw, or write for long periods of time.


!Art Updates!

-Photo Narative: I'm going to do "a year in the life of Sparta". I took a lot of pictures of my cat over the last year (since my last cat ran away and I realized I only had 1 picture of him and it was almost 5 years old I've been taking a lot of pictures of Sparta) so I decided I'm going to take some that I've taken already as well as going out and taking new pictures (such as pictures of the vets office and the pound where I got him) and put them in order to document the last year with him. This cant be finished until after spring break, though, because I wont have the time to go out to the vet and pound until then.

-Pixel Girl: Obviously as its midterm I'm not going to do the entire project I had in mind but I have done some concept sketches for a couple of the subjects.

-Etsy: I have an account but havn't had a chance to create my portfolios to put up for sale. I'll be doing that within the next week. Hers the link anyway: InfinitysProductions on Etsy

-Collaboration: I will be honest. I havn't done much on this. I'm working around both mine and my friends schedules so its sorta hard to get in contact.

-Web Portfolio: I've started working with this but I've been a bit confused on how to use the program (particularly how to SAVE) so I havn't done much.

-Stop Motion: This is still a blank page in my head. I really have NO idea.



!Topic of the day!

Todays topic is suppose to be the week 4 discussion since I missed it but I'm not in the best place to look threw some of the links Liz posted so I'll have to get back to you on that one.
