I turned in my final paper for crazy lady class. I turned in my final paper for Swarm Intelligence. And I turned in my portfolio. So . . . I'm done with everything for this semester. Yay! I'm on holiday vacation, officially ( Read more... )

Wow, a little over a week without the huge paper of doom and death looming over my head and I feel substantially better. So, to counteract my previous post (and weeks long mood), the past few days have been positively wonderful. :D ( Read more... )

Academy of Arts did ArtAfterDark last night. I went to see a movie originally (I hadn't known about AAD). The movie was Dale and Tucker vs. Evil. It has Wash! ^_^ But, I found that my friend who had just won the title of MissVamp Hawaii was going to be there, and there was going to be music, public RockBand, and art galleries.

and a bad journal-er and a bad keeping-track-of-things-on-a-daily-basis-er. I think I must accept this and not let my backlog deter me from posting when I finally get the urge to. Okay, so . . . between last post and this one, much has happened, but this is what is on my mind at the moment ( Read more... )

It's amazing how empowering yard work can be. Our Kukui nut tree was too tall in proximity to our neighbors yard, so it needed to be trimmed.
