bless you recyclops, and your cold robot heart.

i moved!

finally! i am no longer crashing at trevors every single night. and now i can say that i don't live at my mommas house. i have my own apartment, and you all should stop by and bring me a housewarming gift. or beers. or whatever, just come by and see me!

honk-shoooo

i am just writing this because i have not posted anything new for over a week. my life right now is full of school related activities. i have been working on print things like crazy. this semester i am working on three chicken shaped intaglio plates. they are a pain in the ass to cut out and file, but i think they will be really cool when they are all done. i need to work on my drawings more for sam. he let me borrow his plastic turkey named leroy. i need to get some drawings of him soon! also bookbinding is taking up SO much time, it is crazy. this week we are making boxes. i hope i don't eff it up like i did my first book.
today i had to present to a lot of people in the fine arts department for funding to go to the international southern graphics council conference. whew! i had to write up a proposal and figure out a budget and everything. i felt so grown up doing it. today we just had to go in and see if the board had any questions. a friend told me we did get funding, but not as much as last year. that is pretty disappointing seeing as there are the same number of students attending as there were last time. but it wasn't my fault, there were 19 different groups requesting money this year, and i am sure the budget isn't as big as it has been in the past. oh well, at least we got something!
i have been house sitting for my friend erin and watching a million dvds. she and jake have a gigantic dvd collection. they are in disneyland for their anniversary. i hope they are having the best time ever, and that they bought mickey ears. i better get a postcard too.
this month at the gallery stroll i will have a print at signed and numbered. i was able to get into the print exchange for this month. it is a halloween theme, and my print is jolene, of course. but she has three heads and is drooling. if you are in town you should go check it out! this will be my first time showing anything at gallery stroll.
AND! i am moving out of my mommas house soon. i am looking at two apartments tomorrow, and making my decision tomorrow too. i am really excited to move out without a roommate. trevor of course will be my part time roomie. and maybe sometime in the near future i will have a kitty too, but we will just have to see.

ha! seriously?

this is ridiculous. watch.

jolene print

is done, kind of. i have 24 pieces of paper, and have printed on 6 of them. eff. it looks pretty good so far, i guess. i like it, but it is a print of my baby. it is a two plate print, one red and one blue. the assignment was we had to print on quarter sheets, so 11x15. i think the copper is 4x6 or something. i honestly cannot remember, i am exhausted. anyway, this picture sucks because i took it with my cell phone. but here is jolene!

where in the world do you think you're going-o-ing-o-ing?

to the fair!!!!!!!!

boo hoo.

this is a total sympathy post. i just want everyone to feel sorry for me and bring me ice cream because i am sad and i miss my boyfriend. my favorite flavor is the private selection brand black raspberry and chocolate chunk, which as far as i know is only sold at smiths marketplace.

and they call it puppy loooooooove

this puppy, who has yet to be named, is SO CUTE! i got to snuggle her at megan and brittanys house tonight. fran and brittany and me took her out and watched her run around the yard and jump down and up the stairs about a million times. it was too cute. we got her to walk all the way up the big staircase too. i love her.

close close close call

tonight trevor called me to let me know that there were three raccoons in the coop, because the effing door was open, and that the chickens were all really freaking out. jordan had called him saying the chickens were all flying around the yard yelling really loud, and we needed to make sure they were ok. i borrowed the pathfinder and drove down to his studio so fast, and we pulled into the alley and turned the car towards the coop. sirius and esther were walking around the yard. i picked up esther and took her into the bathroom. jordan said he didn't know where jolene was. my heart dropped, i was so freaked out but i didn't want to think the worst had happened. we looked around the yard a little bit, and then trevor found her in the coop. she didn't look good, she was barely moving. i started crying and told him i couldn't look at her, that he had to do it. so he put his hand in and scooped her out of the nesting box. she slowly started moving and walking around. i took her inside too, and then sirius came in. i fed them some cheese and some bread to make them feel better, and maybe calm them down a little bit. i just sat on the floor and talked to them and told them they were all ok now. they ate all the cheese then squished together in the corner. i went out to talk to jordan, and he said he was inside the house, and he heard some noise in the backyard. it was already dark, so he knew something was wrong. they never make noise at night. ever. so jordan went out with the flood light and saw all three flying around the yard making so much noise. he walked over to the coop, and saw three pairs of glowing eyes. the raccoons were making noises like some giant creature coughing up a hairball. jordan started to get nervous, because they are mean little things. and three of them all crammed in the coop together would be so scary! they ran out of the coop and got back over the fence, and he said one tried to grab sirius through the chain link. he threw a log at the fence to scare them off, and esther decided to fly up onto the fence. sirius was running around the yard, and jolene was cowering in a corner. i am so grateful that jordan was home, i don't want to think about what would have happened if he had not been there. i am so glad they are all ok, probably really stressed out and scared, but otherwise ok. i hate raccoons. i want to call animal control tomorrow and see if there is anything they can do. there are so many pets in the neighborhood, and i would hate for something to happen to any of them.

owwwwww

1. Wii-arm
This happens when you over-play the Nintendo Wii.

Your arm begins to ache, and somewhat burn slightly... Using your arm for any kind of quick movements, or outstretching of the arm generates pain.
You get Wii-arm by playing WiiSports for 14 hours non-stop - Then trying to play Baseball, and finding out that you hit the floor in pain when you swing.
