Another Assignment Finished

Yes, it seems that the homework train hasn't crashed yet...this is great.

Pondering perogies, beet leaf buns and some random meat for supper. I need to sort out a few things around the apartment, then all my storage stuff will be done.

McHappy Thought for the Day

I absolutely love positive affirmations. And why not, right?! We're constantly being bombarded by the media: "People dead," "buildings are blowing up..." Maybe if we had more positive influence, there wouldn't be so much of that garbage blowing up around us.

Excerpt from Abraham-Hicks tour:

"Don't do anything that you don't really want to do. Keep yourself in a place of feeling good. Reach for the thought that feels better -- and watch what happens." --- Abraham

I concur. No good has ever come of doing something I didn't want to do. ...I mean, aside from eating chocolate ice cream for breakfast ~lol

Eyes..Burning...Need more...Coffeh...

That was a pretty good day. Much too long and not enough sleep last night, so I'm going to call it a night pretty soon. The sad part is, since I was a kidlet, no matter how tired I was, or how little sleep I got the night before, my brain comes alive in the wee hours of the morning. Anywhere between 10pm and 8am, I've learned - that's my creative peak.

...Which bites, as most office/creative job/buildings are open 9am-5pm. =Sucks to Be Me..=

Hehe, I haven't heard Prozzak in a doggie's age.

PS... We didn't get to present our "inspiring things" in Basics of Form today...I'm kind of glad about that...I'd like to get to the core of "what really inspires me," I'm glad I have a few more days to really think about it.

Photo Shoot with Vaughn

It was a lovely evening. I'm exhausted...and I'm still unsure of what representational piece to bring with me to class tomorrow...I have too many ideas; I need to start thinking less seriously about this.

I highly doubt anyone's going to look back on this object in the next 30 years and say, "Yah, I remember Jen brought that..." Am I down-playing my own significance? I do want to do the best I can in class...In a way, I feel I couldn't just pick one, as there are so many things I'd love to show, of me and of what inspires me...My first instinct was to bring a cat O.o ..Yah, no one would appreciate a full day of "hissy, whiney, drama queen..." I could bring Spook, I suppose ... he'd sleep all day lol =3

For allergenic reasons, I've broken it down to about 3 different things...The first, is more than one photograph, so I will upload them tonight to my album instead. The 2nd...I should get my butt in gear and try to hunt it down...And I can't remember what the 3rd thing was, so I'm just going to go rummaging through my storage garb.....

Check out Vaughn's photo shoot here!!!
Vaughn is a Japanese ball joint doll: a 60cm Dollzone Hong. He's quite loose at the moment; I need to restring him quite badly. Yet he stood beautifully for these poses.

CU Freebie & Inspiration

Finished one assignment this morning, other one's half finished. Still cruising around online, trying to find a perfectly rotten e-commerce web site, so I can write my review and finish this project.

So far, I've only become inspired. So much, that I've decided to suit up my little Dollie (no, literally, he is a doll), and we're going to take some shots outside today. It's such a lovely day out there too; light jackets, for the both of us. ...Remind me, when autumn strikes, we're going to have to indulge in the graphic scenery as much as possible.

Camera needs to charge. While that's happening, I'm going to continue working on these assignments...and just for fun, here's a commercial-use PNG you can feel free to use with all your digital scrap booking products!!

Feels Like Sunday

It was around 3 o'clock in the afternoon when the switch occurred in my brain: Sometimes, if I let my mind relax too deeply, my mind is left with a feeling, that's similar to "just woke up after a dream."

It's incredible, really: Can one really experience the illusion of two days in 24 hours...Is this possible? I don't take naps during the day, unless I'm being burdened with some blasted flu bug. Do people experience the same feeling after waking from a nap? Does your body just "know" that it's still within this technical "24 hour period??" ....And did you know that our bodies' internal time clocks run closer to a 25-hour time period?! Beside a few arguments we could toss around, all soft-ball like: "anything is possible" to "how can one argue what's happening in someone else's mind," there is only one thing I'm sure of at this time:

"I reject your reality and substitute it for my own." --Adam Savage

Slightly Low

Yes, I'm feeling a little low this morning, but that's okay. This is life, c'est la via, blah blah blah. Classes start at 9am this morning, that's a total consolation: That makes me super happy! 8am only 3 mornings out of the week - 10am and 9am starts the other 2 days...Yes, I'm the luckiest girl in the world. ...With kitty feet on the keyboard. Aaaw and Pickles is helping me nudge along my arm, while I do my make up. What a sweet kitty.

Keep an eye out for digital scrap booking freebies! I've got a few 3D graphics on the roster today, but classes as well, so I'm not sure if I'll be able to get those in today. I will try.

Peace out XO

Spam and Bedtime

Aaaw, Blogger thinks the comments I post on my own posts are spam :) ...Wait, why the crap have I been commenting on my posts? Oh well :)

Learning the coolest things during my classes. I love HTML ... and today, I fell in love with CSS. Yes, it is a fun thing.

I'm going to be doing some designing on the side; I realize that E.I. will have a snit-fit if they find out but *shrugs* how will they know when stuff was made? :) Ahahahaha*coff*hack* Ok.

Random thought for the evening: If you're going to be as intestesting as a stick of gum that's lost it's taste and can't even be justified as a part of a theatre seat.....just keep on walking. Yes, that is all for the evening.

"Bruce, why do we fall?
So we can learn to pick ourselves back up again."

Just a Few More Sketches...

I finished 1 assignment tonight; how gratifying. I'm trying to work up the energy to sketch a few assignments. This is quite fun...but at 9pm, I'm starting to get sleepy and want to go to bed. Tomorrow, class ends at 3pm I do believe. 3 classes tomorrow and it'll be much more satisfying if I sketch for a short while tonight. My new Harvest Moon game came in tonight, I'm very excited about this. ...I would like to play it, if even for 10 seconds so I'm going to finish 1 sketch so I can relax for the evening.

Became hugely inspired the other night, viewing [one of my instructor's] taste in toys on his blog...from this, birthed some adorably hilarious sketches that will (once I find where I misplaced my energy), become a clay/painted/baked/and super fun project.

...Until then, I sleep...I mean work, darn it, back to work...*le sigh*

End of a Long and Winding...Weekend?

Very nice weekend - Mom's wedding was fantastic! I didn't know this body could hold that much liquor - it was wonderful to see all her get married :) I had an absolute blast. I got home late last night; I arrived around 11:30pm. I nearly fell asleep at the wheel a few times, but it feels so very nice to be home. I'm going to start making supper right away, pack a lunch for tomorrow. I'm looking forward to more schooling assignments!
Bizarre news on the digital scrapbook front: Since I'm going to be sponsored by E.I. to go to school, I'm sorry to say, I'm not allowed to design while I'm in school O.o; (I know, that's what I said!!)
I may try to, none the less. If I can incorporate it into my lessons, that might just do the trick!! ;-)
Peace out XO
