A reminded me that all my thesis used to belong to the above-mentioned sock at times. Maybe my application does, too. In any case, been busy on project one of the portfolio. I think I finished it tonight, but then I may need to even out the values a little still.... [sigh] Charcoal is so forgiving. I love it. Next project is in ink, and I'm a ( Read more... )

I have the place to myself tonight, and a long list of thing's I'd like to get done, a slightly shorter list of things that have to get done and a do-able list of things that really must be done tonight. Up next: the epic battle of the futon cover. Charge!

I've caved and decided to use green instead of trying to mix blue and yellow, making a palette of ultramarine blue, alizarin crimson, cadmium yellow ( Read more... )

No desktop yet, so this is another on-the-run post.  The job is looking up -- not any more challenging, mind you.  There have been fewer heavy packages, and I now have a cart/trolley to move them when there are some.  It's not the most demanding post -- I ship things, mail things, distribute mail, order supplies and samples, answer the phone ( Read more... )

Moved down to join A last week. Xlime helped move furniture this weekend and made us pay by having us watch Master and Commander. Good movie, though I do not share her obsession.

We also went to the beach w. G and K last weekend (2 Fridays ago); it was an excellent trip even though it rained 2 days of 3.

Visited Radish and Muffhead two weeks prior ( Read more... )

I'm alive. I've been spending most of my time working, sleeping, sorting out personal issues and writing, not necessarily in that order. The last week or so I have also been gaming on occasion (Morrowind, x-box rpg ( Read more... )
