State of Zero
As a lot of you might know - about 2 months ago I got sick with a kidney stone! OMGBBQ did that hurt. It was ... agony for the first few days. Trips to Emerg. etc. Morphine! Then it settled down into a 6 week painful experience that kind of put a halt on absolutely everything. I watched a lot of TV. Took painkillers. Etc. I think i should ( Read more... ) -
a Steampunk'd Opera.... "Life is a Dream"
I'd been approached to create jewelry for the gift shop of the Sante Fe Opera Company! It's really exciting since I'm not much of a fine art artist - most of my work is steampunk jewelry and sculpture - but I can usually create some images and they were looking for a particular design.

mini update

I thought it might be nice to announce some of the crazy stuff that's been happening of late in my life. All things considered =- its been pretty dang good. Ups and Downs of course - many many computer issues in the past months appear this week to be fixed. Or fixed enough.
I've been writing less. Much less. Probably due to the fact I seem to ( Read more... ) -
Really... I am here...sorta
Well, I got back on LJ (hurray!) SORTA... but the past 2 weeks has been computer hell. The desktop started rebooting a few weeks ago. After running viral checks and checking all the error messages, and killing some dust bunnies - i started to come up with blanks. We took it into the local shop... where I bought most of it - and asked the fellow ( Read more... ) -

I QUIT! FINI. ze End...
That's it. EIGHT years. This past 2 months has been horrible. more horrible than a job should be.
I swear i was getting chest pains. I constantly had migraines. I've not been able to check email from work since January, or surf where i wanted (which to some might not mean much I know - but 8 yrs of surfing in the tech support part of my job ( Read more... ) -

Anyway, I've been back about 1 week now and it has been a crazy busy time. Crazy. i will have photos from El Salvador I promise. There were exploding Volcanos. well... not quite exploding but shooting out big gouts of ash! clouds of it.
