On Oilers, Work and Art
So, I have to say something about this, because it is becoming far too entertaining. Oilers mania is everywhere in this city and I love it!! There are children on the street with signs, everyone slapping hands in cheer on Whyte, flags attached to every third car, and unanimous cheering down the street when the game is on. Today took the cake though. I was at work, and I noticed that one of the businesses that we drove by had a Canadian flag, an Albertan flag, and an Oilers' flag on their three flag poles. Then, when we were trimming out a ditch a train drove by. The conductor honked at us, and when I looked he was wearing an Oiler's jersey and a hockey helmet. Grand I say! I am so excited. Third round! Why couldn't they have gotten this far when I was a kid? Probably because then I couldn't go celebrate on Whyte. Oh what a Gong show.
Anyhoo, I have found work. Several jobs actually. At the moment I am working for a landscaping company, which seems to really want to keep my employed. That or the manager guy likes me. ;p Apparently experience gets you place. Why does that sound dirty? I didn't mean for it to be. Work experience fools! I'm no whore!! Anyhoo, I had another job last week, but I worked 44 hours in 4 days, trimming the tomb stones in cemeteries. It was horrid. So I quit! Ha! Anyhoo, I seem to have no life anymore, so hopefully things will calm down and I will be able to get out of work at some half ordinary time next week. Money's good though, so I suppose I can't complain too loudly. ;p
As for art, I changed some of the prices on my commissions. My Pencil and Pencil crayon drawings are now $35, while my Ink and Pencil Crayon drawings have dropped down to $30. The former were more work than they were worth. Bah. Anyhoo, now is the time to commission me, because I HAVE TIME TO DRAW!! So yes, help feed a starving Q, commission her today.
And now with the art...
Kicking Your Boots Around - Noble Dead Art.
The Ladybug Killer - A dorky self-portrait.
Taking Aim - Tonks and Lupin Battle Style!
So yes, I need a shower as I smell like weeds and grass. Ich. Missed my sister's commencement, and I think my cooler went to my head. Bah. Hoping stupid Boyfriend will call me so I have an excuse to run down to Cowtown over the long weekend. :(
