01:06 pm - Doing a bit better today It's warm and sunny and I can have the windows open. Art angst has subsided to some degree, and I even managed to do a bit of linework last night. Not going to push it, though. Had a long, long talk with Nghi about what to do on the art front, since things feel so dry. May go back and update some old good ideas with a better skill level. Feels like cheating, but it's at least a contribution to all those bad lines I need to draw before I get to the good ones. Trying to figure out what I like anymore, instead of asking if it's marketable. I have mostly forgotten. Have dropped two of those pesky winter pounds. Remains to see if the rest can be invited to leave, or if they'll stay like uninvited guests. Will have to take all the corsets in again regardless, due to shape changes. There is much to do and little time, and I'd rather be sewing, but rent still needs paid, so I'm off to write some more pizza recipes for other people's websites.

05:16 pm - Writing - I should do it! So, we have an approximation of spring here in the land of cheese. It is now mostly above freezing at night, and in the 40s and 50s during the day. There are colored things coming from the ground, which my sources refer to as flowers. And I have been greatly remiss in writing here. My mood has still not quite settled out completely from winter, but at the moment, I'm merely having bad tendencies to catwax (clean the kitchen? do my writing? Why not work on my sewing instead?) with occasional mood drops. This is better than before. I still have not gotten up the energy to blitzkrieg clean the apartment, but spot cleaning is making this more of a habitation and less of a clutter factory. I am so thankful to have such a small space to deal with. I am also very pleased that at no point did the winter blahs get so bad that I had to purchase bread from the store. While I skipped a week or so at a time, I made all of it using the yeast colony living in a yogurt container in my fridge. That yeast is now six months old. Happy birthday, yeast! The rats are big and fuzzy, and like me, they have colds. I am hoping this will pass, because I'm far better at telling the severity of an illness in me than I am in them. Currently, it just looks like a spring cold, however. ( Reenactment dribble ) In art news, I got most of the way through a piece I was very fond of, then corrupted the file wholly. I had not, of course, made any backups. That's put me off it for a bit, but I'll see if I can jumpstart that again. Things were going very well, for a bit. On a day to day basis, I'm afraid I'm quite dull. I write articles, doodle, sew, and wax poetic about food. That's really about it.

12:48 pm - Phone sheep This is awfully cool: http://www.cualquiera.com.ar/notas/arte.html Judging by the way they have cables running to them, I think they're even live. You could make a call from a sheep. Current Mood: depressed Current Music: Pink Floyd - Your Possible Pasts Tags: art

12:34 pm - Neuroses: 1 Me: 1/2 For whatever reason, looking at open calls and discussions about self-promotion make my stomach turn. This has been going on for a bit. I think I ought to step down the art for a bit, see if I can actually paint more. I'll still be taking commissions quite happily. I just won't go looking for the forseeable future. Also, having a stick of RAM die on you when you've been working on a 9x12 at 600 dpi? Is a real pain in the rear. Slug, Photoshop, slug!

03:58 pm - Pretties! I know you creatures haven't heard much from me for a while, and I'm afraid that's like to continue. I compose entries in my head, but never write them, cause who wants to hear me angst? Perhaps sometimes when things are a bit better (combo of depression and actual real problems). But, I did need to tell the world this. I have a new art hero: http://kiriko-moth.com/ Her stuff goes very nicely with the direction my digital work has been going. So, someone to crib off who's not Ursula Vernon or Stephanie Law. Current Mood: exhausted Current Music: Dropkick Murphys - Victory Tags: angst: general, angst: specific, art

04:51 pm - Oh, my Been having a horrible day and yesterday, including motherboard issues, some ram going dead, and discovering my computer case is even smaller than I believed. Also, crushing depression. The kind where I don't want to move. And I had the rat dream again (where I have more rats than I think, and I've somehow been starving/neglecting a huge cage of them for a ridiculous period of time, and now I have to find cages for them and whatnot. Rats just keep coming out of the woodwork.) Then, there was upsetting Russian art. Now I am merely traumatized.
