I'm a little bit stressed/panicked about my upcoming presentation, which I was planning on work on this past week. I guess if I go back to work on Monday I'll still be able to pull something together. In college my mantra was "pressure makes diamonds." I'm also supposed to submit something for the staff art show. I kept thinking I had plenty of ( Read more... )

Matt complained that I haven't updated LJ in a long time. "I tell you what's going on in my life in person. You don't need to read about it, " I said. But I guess he was tired of looking at his friends page and having it always be the same ( Read more... )

APE and the Book Arts Jam are on the same day. Isn't that weird? They are different in character, but they are both small press sort of events that happen only once a year. I'm thinking about tabling at the Book Arts Jam, but I'm wondering if APE will draw people away and make the event less attended. Any thoughts ( Read more... )

I feel tired and unmotivated and also guilty for feeling that way. It's only 8:30 -- plenty of time to be productive and get some shit done. Projects to do, thinks to make, words to write, mail order to fill. Why do I always have to feel bad if I don't feel like doing stuff in my slivers of free time? I worked all day today, and now I just want to ( Read more... )

Matt and I are making plans via messages on my Facebook wall. Is this a step up or down from making plans via comments on LJ (on someone else's LJ)?

I guess August means it's time to get ready for school. Back in my day, school didn't start until September, but in these parts, it starts at the end of the August.

I'm always been a sucker for school supplies, so I was pretty excited when I found out about the local school supplies drive. I went to Target yesterday and put together an elementary ( Read more... )

I have a Royal typewriter with magic margins, and I can't figure out how to clear the margins. There is a "clear" button, but I don't think I'm using it correctly. There's a margin release button that can be used for releasing the margin for that line, but it won't actually get rid of the margin. Help?

I mostly finished the text of my zine. I'm zine saturated now and need a break. Next is layout, but I'm not feeling inspired about it. I'm working for the next 6 days and then flying to Portland on the 7th day, so I'm really short on time. If get the layout done, I could possibly photocopy Thursday morning before getting on the plane and then ( Read more... )

I was really tired when I woke up this morning. And was it just me, or did it seem a little bit darker than usual? I snoozed a bit longer than usual but finally got out of bed. Just as I was about to head out the door I checked the clock to make sure I was running on time. What?! The bathroom clock is an hour behind? How did that happen? I checked ( Read more... )
