YAY!!!

I have been slacking off pretty good since school ended a month ago, I needed the rest. I think things will start to ramp up again shortly, especially as I was accepted yesterday to work with Redmoon on their new show for September.

I cannot believe it is already midsemester.  This year is going fast, but in a good way.  I do have things to show for my time, much more tangibly than I did when working.  I am often tired, but i have often earned that tired now ( Read more... )

First two classes for the semester are done-- so far it is looking pretty awesome.  Thursday the fashion class "Object and Artifact, No Nonsense" rocked my world. It was like someone dipped into my head and made a class out of the stuff I am interested in. The teacher is cool, fun, articulate, practical, gay, a practicing shaman.  The projects for ( Read more... )

So here I am ( Read more... )

Whew.  Final final critique was yesterday. I am done for the semester--thank the gods.  It was a hard final push.  I am not overwhelmingly happy with my final projects, but I think I did learn a lot.  I also think I am likely to rework those projects and keep trying to make the reality match up to the conception.  So what next ( Read more... )

Dying fabric with beets tonight for fiber.  Trick-or treaters were a bit sparse this year so we have WAY too much candy hanging around.  i brought a pile into work and i think I will haul some in to feed to the college students.  Lots to do for class, but it is fun and fascinating ( Read more... )

At the Celtic Knot last night Kat E. was sitting in on the jam.  I enjoyed the music and seeing M&M and Aly and the Celtic Sampler(yum).  It felt like the peaceful part of a Charles De Lint novel.   Thanks for the tip off that she'd be there, J.  Oh and "holy crap but Farley has grown up!!"

Oh crap Midterms...I have my art history midterm this week.  I was supposed to study today, um...well, yeah I slumped around in my jammies eating and watching football and the history channel instead.  I had a nap too. I think I needed some down time.  I love school. It is challenging and intellectually stimulating and fun and gives me so much joy ( Read more... )

Yay.  I have blue hair.  It is mixed into the brown (and gray) nicely (thanks A and S)!!!  Now I need to get it cut, or perhaps attach multicolored extentions ;). I will post photos, but not today.  I am home sick with a cold.  It has stolen my voice, focus and energy and converted them into snot (sorry TMI, I know). This is a good sign in one way ( Read more... )

HI everyone-
School is good but totally overwhelming.  I am a bit worried as this is just the regular homework load, not the super special project stuff that is coming up.  I am already sick of the commute and very grateful for the two places to which I have keys in the city.  I feel like a squirrel only I have toiletries stashed all over instead of ( Read more... )
