I'm having cat trouble. The funny thing is, I don't even own a personal cat ( Read more... )

This is probably a rant of a person who is getting too old.
I have started to look for a nice dress to wear to Albert's cousins wedding. I haven't had a chance to wear a formal dress in quite a while, and the last wedding I went to was a summer-dress wedding.
I have now discovered, to my rising alarm, that the moment that "formal" appears as a dress ( Read more... )

I just sent off a huge box full of framed photographs to New Mexico... 11 prints that will be hanging in the gallery for the next few weeks - I need to send the gallery owner a bottle of wine - in lieu of myself.

There are a few, very few instances in a person's life when you are so mad at someone that logic ceases to be involved - you just wish they actually HAD a car to go with your sugar.

Some good news! I will have my first exhibition EVER on Mother's Day, at the Ghost Pony Gallery! The funny thing is - the gallery is in New Mexico! Everyone is pretty much excused from going. I won't hold it against you. I can't wait to get started, chose photos and get them printed. I have to do a lot of research and one thing I haven't thought of ( Read more... )

My least favorite part of this semester has been Advanced Composition. I thought "Advanced" meant more advanced compositions, not oranges and bowls, but... I don't know - drapery? I like detail. Here, I have been told to concentrate on the orange and not go into detail "because it's obvious I know how to do detail". I feel like I'm constrained and ( Read more... )

And here are pics, some long promised, and some spontaneous :)
