Life
heh.. i just got glue all over my super sleek gaming mouse =\ mostly because my hands are covered in the stuff. all evening i've been working on a project that utilizes little strips of paper rolled up and glued to things. i'm having a lot of fun, but i'm a mess!
Things have been good lately. Kel and I just got back from New Mexico about a week ago. We got to visit our baby nieces and we gave them a ton of presents. We got our oldest niece (2 years) a monkey costume and our little baby niece (4 months) a tiger costume. I also made my niece a tutu (no sewing! which is awesome, cause i blow at sewing). I have a ton of pics of Emily running around as a monkey ballerina. pretty neat stuff =)
As soon as we got back from vacation, I was in panic mode of sorts... I had my first arts and crafts show last week. it was in a downtown area from 5 to 9 p.m. and it was a lot of fun. I met some cool artists and actually sold some stuff and made some moolah! Of course, I've already spent everything I made buying MORE stuff to make, but hey... i like to stay busy.
I've been learning how to bind books from this rad couple in tempe that run a paper studio. i love books, so being able to create them is something like what i imagine nirvana would be. y'know, to a heartless athiest like myself. i've been embracing that word lately - athiest, so weird. anyway, if you'd like to see some of my books, i have a few in my shop - www.devilsparadise.etsy.com
kel and i are also taking a graphic design class - right now we're learning how to use illustrator to make counterfeit money - i love higher education! you may think i'm kidding.. but i'm not! our prof is really into making fake "real" documents.
I'm also cramming to finish this year's halloween party, which i'm very proud to annouce is themed - 'murder at comic con!!' we're getting our nerd on and letting all of our friends finally break out the flash/captain kirk/hobbit/sailor moon costumes that have been collecting dust in their closets! We actually had to do a lot of rewrites today because we thought our characters were just too clean - so we added a lof of porn movies, sex tapes, male prostitution, gambling, con artistry, blackmail, drug use, illicit affairs, oh.. and murder! /evil laugh
you know i'm not gonna post for another four months, so i gotta fit a lot into one entry.
word to your mothers.
