The windows in my house have been open for the past week, and now I'm beginning to feel suspicious of mother nature's intentions. Surely they cannot be honorable. It's January, and normally she's giving me the cold shoulder, opting to give her love to climes other than my own. So why is she being so cuddly towards me now? Bitch better not be ( Read more... )

Wow, am I jacked up on caffeine right now. Coffee is the demi-god of living, and I carefully cultivate its worship. If only I could do something more constructive with my time than surf the internet ( Read more... )

Where did the warm weather suddenly go? I was really beginning to like sub-tropical Jersey. Oh well, Indian summers- more fleeting than a dime-store romance ( Read more... )

Well, the past 24 hours have been interesting. Ian and I had a huge blowout yesterday afternoon, which put a bit of a damper on the rest of the day for the both of us. Topic of the fight? Recreation. He gets the opportunity to have fun more often than me, and sometimes when he gets the offer to go do things that I want to do, he doesn't think to ( Read more... )

By God this weather is gorgeous. It's the beginning of January in North Jersey, and it's 60 degrees outside. Call me a summer baby, cause I'm loving it ( Read more... )

I think Ian's mom is staying home from work today. Boo. But since she doesn't feel well, maybe she'll be quiet and not shout at the cats too much. I really wanted to work on some of my art stuff today ( Read more... )

So unless Ian and I are now having mutual dreams, it seems I was smacked in the side of the head by a yellow orb early this morning. Yeah. While a little on the strange side, this isn't the first time such things have happened, though it is the first time I've had such strong sensations of sound and color associated with it. The smack came with a ( Read more... )

It's Christmas Eve day in North Jersey, and it's literally at least 40 degrees right now. All the snow from last week has melted to reveal that all the grass is still green and warm-weather dresses are still appropriate. Santa Clause is going to be a little confused tonight when he touches down, and I blame it entirely on Tim Allen and El Nino. It ( Read more... )

I posted a new sketch in my "drawing of the day" album. It's a pin-up:) I'm going to use the piece to make prints, flash for tattoos, and maybe some fun greeting cards. I think I'll work this piece in colored pencil and see how it goes. If worse comes to worse and I ruin it, I'll have solid reference phots so that I can just create a transfer and ( Read more... )

Getting up this morning was so much easier to do knowing that I had my Etsy site to work on. I'm finishing up on posting all the jewelry, and then I'm free to brainstorm about what type of illustrative works would make fun greeting card packs. I'm thinking of doing an Art Frahm (sp?) style panty drop, only with a guy in a kilt and two women sitting ( Read more... )
