As some of you may know, I've always liked to draw. This is something I've been doing more and more often lately, which is great, because after never putting my pencil down for about 18 straight years, I was a big ol' slacker about it in college and for a while afterward. Seriously, in school, the only thing I'd ever get in trouble for was drawing ( Read more... )

If you don't have a song to sing you're okay
You know how to get along humming

If you don't have a date, celebrate
Go out and sit on the lawn and do nothing
'Cause it's just what you must do, and nobody does it anymore

No I don't believe in the wasting of time
But I don't believe that I'm wasting mine

If you don't have a point to make, don't ( Read more... )

SHAMELESS PLUG:

Jason just put out an album of his chiptunes (he performs as Run_Coward) on Grundale Records, and it's shiny and new and you should listen to it!

It's pretty cool; when we first started talking last June, he told ( Read more... )

I lost my job this morning. Apparently, my company is doing a massive sweep, worse than the one in January, and I got a phone call from HR, probably at 11:11 on the dot; wouldn't that be cute? Anyway, it's been time for me to move on for quite a while, and apparently the universe decided to give me a kick in the pants, since I wasn't about to make ( Read more... )

I've got a beautiful feeling...

This weekend was really great; Jason and I spent Saturday afternoon working on projects outside at West State Park, where Ty and Amber joined us for some sunning and some swinging. Vaughn and Gwen also stopped by to say hi. Amber and Jason put together a great meal at Ty's place, and then we all enjoyed a noise-core ( Read more... )

Look what I did tonight! I haven't had so much fun in ages. I've never tried to color something realistically in Photoshop; I'm a paint bucket type of girl. This is a rough draft for a freelance video game character design gig I'm trying to land. When I lived in Phoenix, I used to steal my cousin's Final Fantasy handbooks and draw all the ( Read more... )

From Merriam-Webster:

Renaissance
2 often capitalized : a movement or period of vigorous artistic and intellectual activity

It needed a name, a label, some sort of signifier. It's a big deal.

A little over a month ago, my ex-boyfriend (with whom I'm basically on politely-saying-hi-every-six-months terms) sent me a message asking whether I'm working on ( Read more... )

Normally, I can't stand all the noise the video guys at work make all day long, but for a minute just now, it sounded like they were listening to a morning talk show. It was probably just some interview or something, but I had this sudden remembrance that it's 9:30 in the morning, it's sunny and beautiful outside, people are running around taking ( Read more... )

Girls, girls, girls!

Two months ago, my friend Lindsay from home was all set to visit me here in Columbus, and then I came down with the plague, so we had to put the kibbosh on our plans. This weekend, however, is Gallery Hop once again, and not only is Lindsay driving out, she's bringing Leslie with her! Lindsey (note the change in vowel) is coming ( Read more... )
