Today I bought a domain name and hopefully will have a website up soon. I wasn't really ready for this stage, but it's necessary for my portfolio. Yes, it does feel a bit forced, like not remembering what it was you were supposed to get at the store and so, in desperation, you grab something potentially needed off the shelf so as not to leave empty handed. It's a nerve racking thing because I

"Early this morning Illinois was rocked with a Magnitude 4.3 Earthquake at approximately 3:59 am on February 10th 2010."One minute and 22 miles later, I felt it. No, it was not a huge quake. In fact, had I not already been awake, I would've probably slept through it. Or maybe I still have some primitive instinctual reactions to mother nature that woke me up pre-quake. I was not awake for very

Welcome to 2010! I actually have some resolutions set for myself this year. Some big, some small, some really easy ones like blinking, just so I can feel accomplished right away. My big ones for this year are to finish school and hopefully get some freelance in, if not something better! Unfortunately with all the advancements of the web, I think my two semesters of web classes from 3 years

My favorite holiday, and I'd rather go back to bed. I had it all planned out, my little ham with glaze, sweet potatoes with marshmallows, honey carrots and more, but the energy to make it is just beyond my grasp. I miss the good old high school days where teachers would never dream of giving out homework for the week and all I had to do was help set the table before 3 and a feast would be laid

We're going on our first cruise ever to the Bahamas. I'm really psyched because those people in the cruise commercials look like they're having just the best time ever! I'll get some sun on my UV and Vitamin D deprived face and do the beach thing. I think The Man is mostly excited about the never ending smorgasbord that awaits, and I really can't deny that I'm just as enthusiastic about eating

The other night we decided to try something new so we went to The White Chocolate Grill. Every part of our meal was good. We started with the Rotisserie Chicken Tortilla Soup which had a very Mexican flavor. The Man had the Mardi Gras Jambalya, which was good but was nothing compared to my Citrus-Soy Glazed Salmon. It was probably the best piece of fish I've ever had. Then we finished

The movie 9 is out in theatres TODAY!!! www.9themovie.comI'm really geeked about seeing this. I've been counting down the days since I saw the previews during Coraline in March. Although that's still not as long as I've been counting down to see Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland which will be released in March of next year...

I'm officially starting my flexible learning biology class; one of the last three classes I need for my degree. Flexible learning means I don't have to go to class, but I pretty much have to be my own teacher and make sure I turn everything in before December 15th. I have no fear though. It'll be nice make my own schedule and I do work well under pressure so who knows, maybe I won't do

Stretched in the sun, a young rabbit lay along the cool dirt. Day after day, for a week this sight could be seen, and every day the small creature looked more and more miserable... That's what you get for eating all of my iris, JERK!!

We had our very first garage sale this weekend.  I've been to garage sales before, hoping to find something useful.  Mostly tools of some sort, but I'm not an avid goer.  This was my first time on the other side of the table, and it was weird.  Selling the stuff you obviously don't want to people that probably won't want it either after they get home.  The Man, of course, is a natural seller.

I'm amused at all the things technology has brought us. All these wonderful applications are available to keep us up to date with the world. Earlier today the sun was out and shining brightly. But since I've been on the computer, a little gadget on the top right of my screen has informed me that the trickling and thundering sound I hear outside is a storm, most likely with thunder.Upon further

THREE MORE CLASSES LEFT!I was starting to doubt I'd ever see the light at the end of the tunnel. I am currently studying up on old highschool math skills to pass a placement test for the last gen-ed class that I'll need. Hopefully this Fall Semester I'll be taking two classes before I take the final Portfolio class for Spring. Hopefully I'll be able to find the original files for my old, old,

That's right. The creative juices have been oozing. I took this ooze and poked it a bit to see what it would do. It resisted at first, but after a while I was able chisel out a mold and squeegee most of the ooze into it. I baked it for 1 hour at 350 and look what came out.

The Man and I learn a lot from each other, and definitely have certain strong points and knowledge the other doesn't. Wine, for example.

I am an occupant. I am a civilian. I am the current reigning power. I am a procrastinator. I thought I was doing so well, but nay. I've even managed to fool myself. How did I get here?

The school year has started, and the first projects are underway. One of said projects requires me to use a scanner. I borrowed an extra one from work, but found that it is a piece of crap. I fear it can no longer be used as a scanner. Its only career options in life are a giant, cumbersome paper-weight, or a tool used in stress management techniques. I've been wanting a scanner for years now, so

We spent our holiday at Ribfest this year. There were thousands of people at the park. We had spent all day eating roasted corn, funnel cakes, and way too many racks of ribs. The fireworks were awesome. We got two finales instead of just one. "It's not over until we say it is!" I was a little surprised at some of the music selections. Of course there was the National Anthem and a string of

Only five classes left, and I was able to schmooze two teachers into letting me do the work from home instead of basing most of my grade on attendance. My deadline to finish my list of 'while-I'm-not-in-school' stuff will now be here in August instead of January. The bag I'm making is just about done.

I don't like talking about the crap-ness of work when I'm not actually AT work.  So instead I took my day's worth of annoyed energy and used it to amuse myself.  And now you too, maybe.  I guess it is a little grotesque but it could be worse.  I could have a picture of some cuddly wuddly wuv bear that would make you gag.

New layout in effect. As much as I liked the dark grey flowers on a black background, it was a little bit of a downer. I'm sticking with close to neutral colors cuz I think they make for easier web viewing. And if you're like me, you've already spent 9+ hours on a computer and by now your rods and cones are starting to wear down. Here's to healtier corneas!

The semester is over. Holy crap, this one seemed to last forever. Had it not been for the greatly anticipated realease of the big S.T. I doubt I would have even posted anything last month. What's new this month:-ONE Two new Sims Games!!! Well not really new to anyone else, but when there's a buy 2 get 1 free deal, you tend to jump on something like that. -TWO Two new websites!!!

YAY! Sweeney Todd day finally arrived! The 2-Disc Special Edition DVD was released yesterday and I now own it. The count down is over and my anticipation is finally put to rest...for now. I made me-self a nice new background for my nice new computer. It's so cool and now it's a little mysterious looking as well.

It's been a hectic month. It seems my spring break from school whipped right by with me barely grabbing a wink. But, let us recap before the last couple hours of this month close in.First off this month, we celebrated Grandma Craig's 90th birthday. I guess them's slim pickin's for 90th birthday card. At least that's what we'd like to say. The reality is that this is not the first time the

"So this looks different," you say. Yes. Yes it does. Don't applaud me too much. I have yet to master the art of html. But for now there are some great websites out there that have already done all the work for me. Yeah. Speaking of work, back to it I go. More to come later when I have time to brag about the new addition to our family of awesomely cool things. I'll give you a little hint

I've ben sick this weekend. Really really sick. I hate the flu. I hate that my body felt it was ok to trade in all my strength and energy for gallons of phlegm and a 102 fever. Even though the worst is over it is lingering over me. My aches and pains and chest wrenching cough have decided to hang out for a while. I couldn't go to work or school today. But, since I was feeling a little

We went to Vegas for our anniversary. It was a little chilly, but far better than the 6" of snow that was falling the night we left. We saw the Cirque du Soleil performance KA'. It was really good. It's the third show of theirs we have seen. You should check out the new photos that are up on the flickr page. We came back late Saturday night to a car buried in snow. It's still snowing

Hmm...two weeks into the new year so far. Not much to say about it. I skipped the whole resolution thing this year. I have decided to be without a January goal. I was going to say no goals, but that's just silly. I'm sure I'll think of something to strive for. Maybe we'll start small, like going to class even if the weather is crappy, even though it REALLY sucks. School has started again.

Blink blink blink goes my cursor, but I'm having a hard pushing my thoughts through the lyrics of Sweeney Todd. They just keep getting in the way. Poor thing, poor thing. It's no surprise that I've got the music from Tim Burton's latest movie stuck in my head, but being that the movie was a musical it is a little more crowded in here than usual, like me my friend.

Modem kinda works, then doesn't, then it does but slowly. I'm told to swap out the modem and when I do I'm given one that is "faster" but really it just doesn't work. Then an over-the-phone technician tells me that I need to separate lines; I know she doesn't know what she's talking about but she'll send someone out on Tuesday.

Hooray for making new pics! And boo to me for doing this instead of my project which is due tomorrow. Tsk. I don't think I'll ever learn. But who cares! I've now got a great picture to remind everybody Turkeys before Trees. I know we're all excited for the ever nearing Christmas Holiday, and The Man is down right giddy that there's holiday music on the radio now, but I'd still like to wear

You'd think there'd be something new and exciting here, but there isn't. What's wrong? I couldn't have possibly run out of things to say... Perhaps I'm just currently without anything interesting worth commenting. That or I'm far more interested in the possibility of a nap. I've rediscovered my love for naps and most often find myself dozing during even the shortest amount of free time. I think

So I've been messing with this one for a while. I tried to make it into a 3-panel, but couldn't figure out what to do with the first one and hated how the second one came out. So, it's just the punchline. The joke was I told J that she has to die when I do because I'll be bored by myself and she needs to come along to keep me entertained. I wish there was some other way, but I really don't see

For once I actually had something worth documenting, but I never got around to it. So instead of many interesting readings, a summary of the past week is all that I've got time for.Last Sunday (or maybe last, last Sunday) we went to the flea market in downtown. It was really interesting. There were people of all kinds, goods most likely stolen from all places, and slightly overpriced but really

I am not a fan of shopping for clothes. I'm baffled by those that enjoy it and am irked to all hell by people like The Man who can measure a pair of pants from elbow to palm and KNOW that they will fit and look great. Jerk.Anyway, I'm in want of new shoes and thought I would take a new approach at the task. I thought it best to do all my browsing from my computer and then if/when I find something

We keep finding more and more projects for ourselves. Let's change this, and move that, and switch this stuff around. And there's the list of all the things we want to buy. Having a new place you actually care about decorating and fixing up is fun, but it's also really wearing me out. Work is wearing me out too. We're short a person so everyone is doing more than their usual fair share. I

Oh sweet, sweet connection! How I've missed you!! My internet is up and running. It took a while. I tried to connect at 5:30, but as to be expected "sites were down and updating" and it's was a painful 5 hours before things were finally up and running. I think they do it on purpose... But luckily I had the help of Tal to distract me. We hung curtains up in the bedroom so the morning sun (

We are completely out and done with the apartment now. It's been 6 days since we brought our life over in a 16' truck and I'm proud to say that our house looks like a house to live in. Definitely not up to my standard of orginization, but at least the very last box was cut down and discarded last night. So, there is no telling when my current email address will expire.

My boss took us all out on his boat this past weekend. I've been fighting a head cold all week but wasn't going to let that ruin my day. Unfortunately the head cold has traveled down to my throat. My voice is deeper and quite sultry right now...you know, between the hacking coughs. I'm really glad I got to go. Not everyone gets a chance to see the sunset through the city. I'm beyond glad I

I have finally downloaded the entire season of Death Note. And thanks to my apple-licious mac it all fits very nicely on two dvd's instead of ten cd's. And it's much easier making labels for fewer discs. I think they came out rather well. Another Friday night and Saturday morning well spent. Wee!

Everybody is pretty used to us moving by now, and we're pretty used to moving. At this point we are just coolin our heals and waiting for the closing date. We haven't started packing yet, but there are good reasons for that. Inspired by Maru's email I made this new 3-panel on our moving process. I tried it first in Photoshop like the pro's do it, but I really think the result comes out better

So I have finally decided to albumize all my photos. I've been thinking about it for while, but this time I have actually done it. It all started when, for no particular reason at all, I dragged a huge box out of the closest which contained a few small albums and a shoe box. As I gently brushed the dust off the shoe box and slowly pulled back the lid 500+ pieces of memory looked up at me and said

So I forgot to point this out earlier; here it is now. I mentioned in a previous post that I often feel parallel to Penny Arcade. This COMIC was posted three days after I wrote Ready...Set...GoSTOP!

Going fast is fun. Going really fast is AWESOME! This weekend The Man and I went to NC for the Richard Petty Driving Experience. We got to do a ride along with a race car driver that sped us around the track a few times at 170+ speed. We were going so fast it made my teeth buzz. I posted a few pictures on the flickr album, but since it was a family event I don't have too many pictures

Wow. That happened really fast. We put an offer on a townhome and it was accepted the same day. And we've only been at this for a couple of weeks all together. So we didn't get our first choice, that one sold the day after we saw it, but we did get our second choice and for a better price than we thought we would. Cheers to that.

The Man and I went out for our first go of house-hunting this week. We only saw four, mostly so our realtor could get a feel for what we are looking for. The first place was the best, the second was just like the first but a little more lived in, and the fourth was ok if you don't mind a house full of white berber carpeting...Did you notice I skipped the third place?

There's been talk all over the news about the cicadas coming this year, but so far in this area they've been a no show. I don't know if it's because of the up-and-down weather we've been having or maybe they did come out of the ground and it's just sooo windy they've all been blown away. And I mean really windy.

The last week of school is approaching and my list of projects was quite long. I'm pleased to say that this day dedicated to getting things done, was actually used to get things done. 7 marker drawings, 2 paintings, a poster, and a brochure later, I'm down to one last poster and a set of pencil drawings. Phew! That's alot to finish in one day! I do not fear the pressure of time, I harness it

I bought some markers the other day SPECIFICALLY for an upcoming art project. Said project did not get very far due to said markers spewing ink which had pooled inside each lid. Not being able to do anything further during class for the project, I kept myself occupied drawing a picture of my dissatisfaction of cheap markers. Since then new markers have been bought and this one panel image gave me

It's only the third day of March and I doubt we'll see a more ridiculous story this month. For those of you who haven't heard a lawyer/judge, Roy Pearson, for the past two years has been suing a drycleaners $67 million dollars for losing his pants, despite the fact the pants were found a week later. The couple that owns the store offered to buy him a new suit, and then offered him thousands of

The past few days I've woken up well before my alarm goes off at 7. This morning I lay in bed enjoying the cool breeze coming in through the window and the twittering of the birds outside. As I was mentally cursing a blue jay for not sounding as pleasant as the other birds, my ears were assaulted by the sound of a violent, heaving, retch right outside my apartment. Yes, that's right. At 6:30

It's no secret. I am a serious procrastinator. I often find myself with due dates, dead lines, or stuff that has just been put off to too long staring at me from random corners of the room, and yet I manage to find something else "more important." Here's today's procrasti-map of events:- Wake up at 10:30 and bid The Man farewell as he heads off to work. Think to self, "Congratulations!

So, having found out the oh-so-simple issue with my Wacom I celebrated by doing another 3-panel. Inspired by an actual conversation, this comic was actually drawn this time last year. That's J-chan in the picture and our phone conversation from when she was trying to unsuccessfully use my modem. Since I don't have time to be extremely creative, I've decided to practice on older pieces. Just hope

I'm officially a good Samaritan now. The other night at school I just happened to park in front of a van whose lights had been left on. As I was leaving school I just happened to be reaching my car as the owner of said van was trying to turn his engine but only getting a sad click-click-click in return. So I threw my stuff into my car and offered to help him jump his car seeings though our cars

So I'm still feeling my way around the new and unfamiliar world of the Mac. This must be what a non-computer person feels like when they try to do...anything. I bought myself a Wacom tablet yesterday. It came with a mouse and a drawing pen; I'm not a fan of using a track pad for everything. Unfortunately this great tool does not like to work when it's software is installed. Funny right? It'll

I played my Sims today. I've missed you so! What has only been months has felt like an eternity. Just wait until summer when I can purchase and fully enjoy the newest expansion pack!

The Man officially started the 2nd quarter century of his life this weekend. Welcome to being 26. And now I'm not too far behind. We did the dinner and movie thing again. We went to see Dead Silence, but, for lack of a better word, it sucked. These days even if the plot, characters, acting, and dialogue are below sub-par, you can at least appreciate random moments of neat-o special effects. But

It's fun ordering new things. It's even more fun when they show up and you have great things to show off. I recently ordered, received, and am now wearing one of five Threadless T-shirts. I am now the proud owner of Pessimistic or Optimistic, Sharp is Relative, Frequencity, Fishing, and Pillow Fight. I'm a firm believer that you can never have enough interesting t-shirts. I'm hoping to come up

The Man and I had a great dinner and movie last Saturday. We saw the movie 300. It was violent film, but the violence was artistically done. It was bloody, but not cheesey horror movie style where the blood is the only thing you can see in every scene. I don't see too many movies with The Man because it's hard to impress him with a non-comedy, but this one he really liked. It had really cool

The first artistic expression that has met its full potential by way of Mac...I truly believe a picture is worth a thousand words. Of course you have to know what "We Love Katamari" is to know WHY this panel cracks me up, but you don't have to really understand a foreign language to know that it's funny.

I just wanted to share with everyone the monster growth that recently occured on the roof over our deck. One day I happened to look out our upstairs window and said "Woah! That's a monster huge icicle!" Thinking it was the biggest icicle I've had on my home I snapped myself a picture. But as the days went on the thing extended PAST the railing of the deck. That's just a little over 5' long. It

The scent is called Mac, and it's a fragrance I'm starting to enjoy more and more. I've never been a fan of Macs, and I most likely would never had bought one for myself. But when your very kind mother offers, you can bear a little shrug and "meh, they're alright" and then suffer through the cold-sweat and nail-biting anticipation of the arrival of a brand spanking new 15" Macbook Pro in all its

We celebrated our 5 year anniversary this weekend in Chicago. And because of this weekend we have decided to celebrate all future anniversaries either at home or in a much warmer climate. We enjoyed a couple different dinners and the Art Museum, but the to's and fro's of our weekend were painfully cold. For anyone who hasn't been, I strongly suggest dinner at the John Hancock building (The

My neighbors are moving and taking their dog with them. I couldn't be happier. I like our new little town home setup very much, and now I'll like it even more with out the M-F am barking alarm clock and the yard full of crap...literally.On an even more pleasing note, I was able to find an English-subbed version of Death Note to download along with the second season of Honey & Clover. This adds up

I thought about all the negative space there is on the web and decided it was about time I had my piece of it! So, being inspired by marublog and netsubstance to make my own blog, we'll see how this goes. Of course lazy as I am I felt no need to research and then pay for a hosting site that can give me ultimate creative ability, so here I am on a very design-restricted but very free host page.
