I cried a little the night my dad died, but it wasn’t overwhelming sorrow, they were simple tears. Tears of shock, not the tears of loss. I went to work the very next day. He didn’t want us to grieve. I was feeling fine, my boss asked me if I really wanted to be there.…

Hi, I am totally procrastinating today. If I’m miserable on Friday night, it’s my own fault for not putting the pedal to the metal or whatnot. I’m still producing some form of writing despite my best efforts. I’ve written 1500 words so far today and made a pretty time consuming piece of photoshop art, oh…

Today I did a still life study in red. Thursday will be blue. I love pastels so much that if I were given a pile of poo to draw, I’d happily draw it. Luckily for me, I get to draw fun things like plastic lobsters. They don’t smell as bad. As I was drawing this,…

Hi, Today is my second day as a pony. I’m so happy to be a pony, I can’t even tell you. Az, are you reading this? I’m a pony! No wonder you like me so much. Life as a pony so far has been so much better than my life as a human. I feel…

You Are A: Pony! Who doesn’t love a pony? You are one of these miniature horses, renown for your beauty and desired by many. Full of grace, you are a beautiful and very special animal, full of strength and majesty. You were almost a: Monkey or a LambYou are least like a: Turtle or a…

I was scrolling through BoingBoing and found a link pointing to an artist who created a scale model of San Francisco using jell-o. Unbelievable! Makes me hungry. Elizabeth Hickok and her city of jell-o.

Today is the day I would have been completing my first marathon. But I’m not. I’m writing instead. I’m not really sad about it. A little disappointed maybe. I don’t know if I’ll ever finish one and that’s ok. Maybe I like my knees just the way they are. The writing is coming along swimingly.…

The Nada Surf show was a whole lot of fun. The sound was not so good. They had to do some thing for Live 105 and didn’t get a chance to do a sound check so it was rough. The drummers vocals were ridiculously loud and I kept waiting for the sound man to get…

Well, today is not as dramatic as the movie, it’s actually just quiet. I have 7 days to write 15,000 words and I’m just calmly cranking away, thinking about how little I’ll have left once I finish this deadline. I get to have some fun tonight. We are seeing Nada Surf at Bimbo’s 365 Club…

I was writing about printing and I had some crazy idea about taking photos of the different papers available for inkjet printing. I somehow forgot that my goal was to collect images for the print chapter. Anyway, I forgot because I was fascinated by cornucopia of all-in-one printer/fax/copier/scanner options there are. To make a long…

In my quest to make a pretty book, I am spending today trying to get all the artwork together for two important chapters. Here’s my fake book cover: Yesterday Tom came home to find a cranky, teary eyed, frustrated girl. I said something like: “I don’t want to buy groceries, I just want to finish…

I ran into some people I knew from school the other day. We were talking about art, classes and trying new approaches, subject matters, styles etc. One of them was trying to share her wisdom about art. She said, just like when you are deciding on a careeer, it’s important to try different things but…

Today, I barely made it to class. I convinced myself about five times that I didn’t have to go, then convinced myself I should. I finally found some “get up and go” and made this pretty color drawing of an egg and an anonymous shape. I’m glad I got my butt up. I like coloring.…
