It’s my first morning here in Cambridge. I managed to stay up all day yesterday despite not even closing my eyes all through the plane trip. I had a horrible plane experience. my neighbor was a 6’6″ giant wizard with legs bigger than there was space for and his wife was so off the menu,…

I’m on my way to England! –alanna

I’ve been up since a little before 7. I can’t sleep. It’s going to be a looooong couple of days, I wish I could sleep in. I am printing out clip art of birds because I am crazy. Why can’t I sleep? There’s plenty of time to be excited later.

Tomorrow I fly away. Seems so strange. I want to put Tom in my suitcase. Yesterday Tom and I found me some dress shoes for my fancy dinner at Jason’s college next week, then we headed over to Japan Town to get Tom’s bonsai some help. I got a cool pillow for sitting on the…

Tom and I are celebrating our 5 year anniversay with a nice dinner at Chez Spencer and a play. See ya later!

I have a very nice sketchbook. I bought it almost a year ago and it is so nice, I haven’t been able to make a single mark in it. I want to make sure that on my trip, I do lots and lots of watercolor studies in it. I’m afraid that even when I get…

Don’t forget people, the opening for Selections is tomorrow night at the LIMN gallery. I’m super excited and they didn’t even pick me!

Mod and I hung out last night and shot the shit. She just got a new iBook. We geeked out so hard, it still hurts. I will spare you the details. I know I am supposed to be on the wagon, but she brought over a bottle of champagne and I’m no idiot. It was…

happy day! um, pill hello blog

I played around with the layout for angrypirate.com a little bit today. Added some nice photos in the masthead and made it a little more consistant with this here blog. I even added a masthead to indiegeek as I’ve decided I’m going to incorporate it into angrypirate someday. It’s probably just really confusing right now…

I am! I am! I just made this bag. No pattern, no nothing, just a $5 remnant of demin, some nylon straps, a 36″ heavy duty zipper, a couple D rings and some sewing. I even added one of my cool angrypirate.com tags just to be really impressive. I think it’s over sewn, Can you…

I’m getting a little carried away maybe. I started gessoing my “scrap” canvas and discovered I had enough for 4 decent sized canvases, plus three around 18″ x 24″ and two smaller ones. I have visions of oil paint and embroidery floss. This stack, when rolled up around a wrapping paper tube, is quite bulky.…

Please come down and say hello. I’ll be at the 12 Galaxies bar on Mission between 22nd and 21st. I’ll be selling encaustics, cards and hats.
