Still cleaning. It's hard to figure what to with some things. One is sort of obligated to keep some things, but they just sit in a box in the attic forever. For example, my great-grandmother's fur stole. It is made of four small animals (minks?) sewn together. They have little faces and dangling feet and tails. It's just about halfway between cute ( Read more... )

It's quite obvious, looking at my clutter, that I have too much stuff. Once again I am sorting, organizing, cleaning. It's easier to get rid of old clothes, and Paperback Swap has helped me let go of books (though I usually have to wait to reread them first), but throwing old art projects away does give me a pang. I keep the ones that have ( Read more... )

By the way, I'm back in the C-ville area now.

On sunday, Kendra and Patrick and I went to the Shenandoah National Park. We did a two hour hike that gave us nice view of a waterfall and also a timber rattlesnake, one of Virginia's three types of poisonous snakes. It did not deign to rattle ( Read more... )

I wanted to put my hair up as I was sorting through stuff at my house, and I found a scrunchie to wear.

I feel so fourth grade. :D

In other news, I think I'm getting better at letting things go. Paperbackswap was my first step in not being a packrat.

I had to try it for myself. Currently I am 'passive and assertive.' Hm.

Hey, Lyrid meteor shower's this weekend. I probably won't watch them since it's hard to get up predawn and it's harder to find a dark place to watch from around here. Just that you might want to know.

"Most years in April there are no more than 5 to 20 meteors per hour during the shower's peak."

I was in the Post-Production lab, and I had no ideas and decided to give up for the day. As I was walking home (through the cold and damp, LOL at Virginia climate) I had all these great ideas for animating our 30-second spot. Funny how inspiration waits like that. So I'm going to rock it in the lab tomorrow! (Too cold to go back tonight.)

Yesterday my figure drawing class did a huge draw on a roll of paper on the wall graffiti group picture 'slam painting' thing. It didn't turn out too great but it was a lotta fun.

(TMI warning) But, since then, when I blow my nose, I've noticed charcoal dust in my snot. This is a new experience for me.

Hi all! I haven't sent out invitations yet, but I'll be graduating Saturday, May 5th! Does anyone want to come? I can probably fit one or two of you in my apartment if you want to spend the night beforehand here. When do you guys all graduate? I sure hope it's not the same weekend. :)

Love!

"All it takes is showing up, again and again, until you get someone’s attention. THEN, and only then, do your skills come into play."

Smart people are dumb.
