Ok. So maybe it's not as epic as the Hobbit or LoTR, but it certainly felt like a long stay.  I also feel like I was eating the entire week. I'm not used to three square meals a day a like that.  The week didn't go down quite as planned, but it wasn't too bad.

Friday I had my eye appointment.  Except for having exceptionally bad eyesight, I have ( Read more... )

The Gazebo Art Show is on the 22nd.  Am I ready? Of course not.  It wouldn't take so long to get prints ready if I didn't draw so frickin' big.  Let's hear it for a classic arts background.  I did try to be on top of the paperwork.  I talked to an official guy August 1st to get my certificate for Macomb, and unless it's sitting in the mailbox right ( Read more... )

So I've been thinking lately.  I have a lot of time to think, but I never really feel like I'm getting anywhere.  Anyway, I've been trying to think of what I can do with my life. I feel as though it's mostly been a waste, or more optimistically, fulfilling general requirements.  It doesn't help matters that I want to make a difference, and be the ( Read more... )

I'm impressed. I've encountered some genuinely nice people lately. That's always nice to know that even "these days" there are some kind spirited people roaming about.  Firstly was the awesome maintenance guy who came to check on the drains in the apartment.  He not only fixed the reported problem, but also took care of a loose faucet and rinsed ( Read more... )

So far it's been interesting lately.  The storm that fried the modem also did a number on the fire alarm systems in the building.  So we've been getting notes in the door saying that maintenance will been in the apartment between 9 and 5.  Well that's not really a problem because technically I don't have to be around to let them in.  They just have ( Read more... )

Wow. It's been exciting around here lately, what with all the storms rolling through.  Our modem box got zapped by lightning.  I turned off the computer, but obviously that wasn't enough.  Apparently I needed to disconnect EVERY THING from every wall outlet and move it to a secure, lightning-proof  facility.  Tenrai flies off the handle. I'm ( Read more... )

I think mushiatsui is the perfect word for days like this where you feel like you can take a bite out of the air while swimming through it and ALL of the bugs are out. On the bright side I got to see a lot of really cool critters today.  Of course all the nifty stuff comes out after Tokoz's visit.  >_>  Any way the main highlight was a tiny painted ( Read more... )

So I've been doing research lately on what a good portfolio includes when trotting around to gaming companies. The verdict? Mine is just sad.  There's no way I come even close to looking appealing.  And here I thought I was doing a good job. Haha!
I think I'm going to go back to being a student.  If I can swing it, I'll be taking online classes ( Read more... )

Ok. What moon or planet or whatever heavenly body has entered what house that is causing all of this woe and misery.  My rotten week began on the 6th and culminated into near collapse of my existence on the 9th.  Luckily Tokoz and I went to see the sights in Chicago.  Walk it off.  Walk it off.  She's got some woes of her own.  I feel like I kicked ( Read more... )
