Along came.

I haven't posted in a few days. Life has been an endless cycle of doing time consuming projects and not having any time for anything else in my life. I started doing these cute little drawings of girls heads (in a non creepy beheaded way) and I am trying to get a plan together for starting my card side business. Nothing beats cute little handmade cards :) Hopefully they'll sell a little better than my jewelry. Even if I don't make much money off my paper goods, I can always have some bad ass cards for my fellow lovers and friends for their special occasions :)

I also got my business cards for my jewelry line and my design company. They look great, so if you see me, you should demand one :) You know you want one!

I also bought my bike pump and tire patch fixer-upper. My bike has not been used for the past week or so. This of course has made me very sad, so as soon as I get some time, I shall patch it up and ride to my heart's content! Man I am so cheesy right now....

I bought coffee today from Starbucks. I am not proud for supporting them, but I was in dire need of some caffeine, especially since I have been sleeping for only about 3 - 4 hours a night. I seriously considered missing my midterm today because of my lack of zzz's. I wish they would make a little Dutch Bros. stand near my house instead of over the bridge. I would put all my money into those yummy snicker bar blends. Sooooo yummy! And a great deal cheaper than starbucks.

I hope everyone has a good halloween! Isaiah and I and some friends will be going to a haunted house out in Gresham. Live nudity, gore, violence, flesh suspension, etc. Fun!

Updated...

I updated my online portfolio. You should check it out if you have time. I'm off to Backspace.

Lady Brigade Designs





Ok bye.

Hoot hoot!

This picture made me laugh XD

I started drawing. I don't think I am comfortable drawing still, even though I have some sort of formal training. I have come to terms with myself that until I am comfortable with drawing or sketching I will not be able to do human figures in naturalistic ways. Soooo instead, I draw kooky little things or people with longer than usual necks and lumpy arms. I guess they will do for now along with my owls :)

I ate at Jin Wah today with Isaiah. We had pho, those yummy spring rolls, and salt pepper squid. SOOOO oishii!! We caught the MAX to the restaurant and then came home before we went to the gym. So far this weekend has been pleasant and relaxed :) I will be going to cut my hair for sure tomorrow. I told Isaiah that if I don't get my hair cut, I'll sleep out in the living room till I do :P Because I can't sleep away from him, I will cut it tomorrow! Pics will be posted too :)

Fun picture to end this post. I saw it on threadless :)

Well it woulda been, coulda been worse than you would ever know.

My week is almost up. I am GLAD. Shit hit the fan for me emotionally. I think being broke is wearing on me right now. I need to start making more websites...

I am craving some new ink. I wish I had enough dough to put some tones on my body. I miss feeling that slick ooze you get after you've had a long sesh. Ohh how I wish. It shall have to wait.

BTW, I am getting legs of steel yet again. I have not seen these legs since when I used to skateboard. Damn. Biking up hill on a one speed bike is not mah thang. At all. I guess even if my school week is coming to a close I will be at the printmaking studio for the most of my weekend. Fun. You know where to find me.

Also...my boyfriend is thee sweetest. I like finding his little notes for me in my little spaces :)

Space is the place.

I had my composition class today and it went okay. We didn't really get to critique what I had put together, but my teacher assigned me and another girl from class to collab together for next week's class. It shall be interesting.

I' home alone right now and I am about to get ready to go to the gym for a couple hours. I need to catch up on a lot of reading for my Heroes, Gods + Monsters class. It seems like school is overwhelming me again, mostly due to having a bigger print project due soon. Reduction prints are not my friend right now :(

Updates later I suppose...
Oh, and check out Buddy Ross. He has a lot of new stuff I dig a ton. I suggest listening to it when you get the chance if you're into mixed music :)

Drawn to the ground.

I did, pretty much, absolutely nothing this weekend.  Homework wise that is.  I am currently in the computer lab at school doing what seems like retarded computations of how to do this reduction woodblock print.  If I was a famous artist that sold my woodblock prints, this print would sell for a good $500+.  This is so time consuming.  I can't figure this crap out.  I feel stupid trying to figure this out.  Bleh.

I am still not done with Modou's 4ft. x 5ft. project; due tomorrow btw.  I bought the supplies at Scrap and have the materials lying about my living room/kitchen floor.  I will most likely be spending a huge amount of time trying to finalize it so I can turn it in.  The critique will most likely be horrible because I totally pulled this project out of my ass.  We'll see how it goes...

The picture featured in today's post is my image digg of the day that made me chuckle :)

Have fun this week kiddies.  I may very well have a breakdown sometime soon because of the overload of assignments.

And you say, and you say....

Au Revoir Simone. I likey.

Blehh I broke my one blog a day rule again. I think that I am doomed to not keep up certain commitments aside from the commitment I have made to my Haiasi. Sadly I am going to retract my proposal of writing 1 blog a day for a year to me writing a blog whenever I damn well feel like it. My week of school is finally done, but I feel crappy. I am so freakin' poor. It's sad. I am seriously considering selling drugs to stay afloat in this money ridden world. I need to buy a 4ft. x 5 ft. piece of canvas for composition class and I have zero monies for that.

I think I need to bundle up and head to schol to print tonight. It'll take the edge off of me for a bit I hope. Ok byee.

Meh...

Body.......sore................must.........rest.

For once since I started working out again my body has gotten sore the day after going to the gym. YAY! and NAY!! I could barely get outta bed this morning. No working out today cause Haiasi starts school. I shall be in the printmaking studio till 9ish after my 3pm class ends :P

Whew.

I walked back and forth to school at least 3 times today. I forgot my bento pack at home that I made last night so I walked home to pick it up and eat it. On the way to get my bento, my credit card company called and said that someone was making fraudulent charges on my card which racked up to more than +$100 of stuff. Luckily they caught it in time and I'll be reimbursed fully.

On another note...I bought my bike today! It's a sooper simple bike, but it was just what I needed. Yay for me! As soon as I get some lights and a lock I will be riding around town :D

It is almost midterm for PNCA. Surprisingly I am not freaking out. I think I just need to focus on passing my art history midterm and then I'll be set. Boo to midterms!

EDIT!!

I am still being consistent on working out in my free time and also blogging everyday since I messed up. YAY! I also found some new good music. Which is always nice, in my opinion, since I barely ever have anything new and good to listen to. I also stole the string quartet versions of Coldplay's song from Haiasi-kun's computard. YAY for pirating!

I made chicken curry (japanese style) tonight. I think I am getting waaaay better at making it. Faster too. The very first time I made curry it came out good, but it took me like an hour and a half to make it. Now it only takes me about 30 mins. I want to learn to cook chap jae (sp?) sometime soon. It is soooo yummy. The one I had in Seattle was so ono, it made me want to eat it everyday. It was delish. I need to learn how to make it cause it's really healthy too. Good noodles with veggies, a little bit of meat and tasty sauce. I'm getting hungry again. Ok I shall end it here. BYE!

Toooooo tireed.

I woke up at 5pm today. I am so fucked. I took sleepy meds and now I feel like my eyelids are a thousand pounds. Night all. Short post.

Puyo Tummies and Bikes.

I am EXHAUSTED. I was going to work out tonight after printing, but I fucked up my prints and had to do them over, thus making me stay at school from 4pm - 10pm. My feet hurt from standing for almost 6 hours :(

I have a puyo tummy starting to accumulate. To my knowledge, puyo means "soft and round." I have puyo arms and a puyo tummy. Work out tomorrow so I should be fine. I think I need to take Katie's (my old roomie) advice about appearance. Even if I feel fat I should dress up nice so that I feel good about myself. Usually I just throw a white tee on and my black jeans :P I need to work on my confidence I suppose. I'm not sure I should be writing this all out in my blog, but this is my means of venting to everyone and no one at the same time :P

Speaking of bikes in my title...I finally found a bike on craigslist (see pic!!) for $100 and it looks pretty damn good. I don't know much about bikes, just how to ride them. Hopefully I can check it out soon and snatch it up!


I stumbled upon these images of Mika Nakashima. She acted in the manga/anime/movie character role of Nana (she was the hardcore looking Nana.) I found a bunch of photoshoot pics of her online and I just thought it was so amazing. I liked how it looked so I thought I'd post some of them. I'm not sure who the photographer was, but big thumbs up from me to her/him :D She is so gorgeous...

I feel like dancing. If you haven't noticed, I write a bit ADDish. I write papers like this too which is really bad, but I can't help it. Speaking of papers, I need to start on my 5-10 page paper on the grotesque. Due first week of November O_O I need to get a move on that.

Okay I think I need to sleep. I am tired and it's affecting my thinking abilities :P Night all.
Jyaaaaaaaaaaaa Ne.

ARGH!

I already failed at my 1 blog a day commitment :( This did not go well. I guess being busy with a bajillion school projects does not help it. I am going to try again....my last attempt to stick to this.

I got really frustrated last night with my composition assignment. I am yet again going to be spending a bunch of money on supplies. Bleh. I had a financial breakdown last night too. I wish I was out of school already, but not. I can't handle this unstable money stuff. It freaks me out. Plus it's no fun staying in for the weekend forcefully.

I also was distracted last night by looking rain boots and messenger bags which then led me to look at all the regular boots I want, but can not have :( I liked these from my little search last night. Too bad I don't have an extra $400 laying around that doesn't need to be to bills.

I am off to school soon. I'll be in the printmaking studio or wood shop if you wanna keep me company :)

Sure, play another song. I've got nothing better to do.

I was very productive today with getting the house stuff done. I washed 3 loads of clothes, cleaned the kitchen and took out the trash! I need to do homework now, but I kind of don't want to. I shall get around to it in the next hour...or so.

I have been listening to a lot of Beirut, Sea Wolf, and Radiohead. A good combo in my opinion. I have not been on a heavy search for new music. I am still looking for some good ol stuff like Billie Holiday. I have been craving for some soft blues and something to soothe me. I guess I go through phases with my music.

I worked out today too. Isaiah and I thought that we had the system beat for getting in for free, but we got tricked today and had to pay for membership. Since I paid for it today, I will be heading there often to get my money's worth. Hopefully in 6 weeks I see some progression of weight loss. Especially in my thigh areas. Hahahahahhh how I love being pear shaped.

If you like good beats and something pretty mellow I suggest you check out Buddy Ross on Myspace. I like it a bunch and he's pretty good at winning beat comps too ;]

Night all.

One post, one day.

I have decided that I am going to try to commit to making one post a day for a whole year. That is a lot of blogging. I feel that I can do it. I know that some fellow students I have classes with have committed to doing a drawing a day for a year so I wanted to do something similar and blogging came to mind. This will be my way of unleashing. I suppose.

I had my dreaded critique today in class. it went surprisingly well. No tears or heavy hearts. I will prolly freak out next week when I have to turn in my weight and gravity assignment though...Meh.

On another note, Haiasi shaved off all of his facial hair cause I dared him to. He did. I regret it terribly. Hopefully it will grow back fast cause his face is going to give me rug burn if i keep making out with him XD

Okay I am sleepy now. I will throw a movie in and doze off. Tomorrow I am going on an adventure to look for some yummy dim sum of pho :D
