the rainy city.

Been here since the 18th of december. The weather with no surprise has been almost always rainy. some threat of having snow which i heard is something that shuts the whole place down. Surprising coming from the midwest. ha.
Been busy and bored for my time here. but nonetheless it has been a nice vacation. Yesterday I visited a sweet alpaca farm where i got to play with two huge herd dogs that kept jumping on me and could take me down with out any effort. The the cat that jumped on the barn post to get some of the famous cat petting from me. i was about to put it in my bag since i miss my two cats at home. The trip is ending tomorrow morning. I will miss it here however i have been ready to come home. With one semester down this academic year that means one more to school freedom at least for a while. WHICH will fucking be glorious. I got super good grades and I was happily surprised since i thought i was going to fail two classes and i ended up getting a c and bc along with three A's and a B. FUCK YEAH.

Ready to start a new job and have direct deposit payment methods. No more fucking getting a check handed to me by a creepy old man!

anyways. The holiday went quickly, as always happen i will get some pictures up of the alpacas and dogs and cat. they were the nicest animals i have ever encountered.

washington is magical there isnt really a way to describe it. the trees have something about them and through out the whole place there is something really beautiful, maybe its the outdoorsy-ness, or the nice people or the nature itself(which i think it must be) even though it would be amazing to live here it would be so expensive and that is not the best thing.

Hope you all had a nice holiday, with whatever you celebrate and hope you have a lovely 08'

almost clear.





Wow. where the time has gone no one knows. The second part of the holidays is reering its head. I think that i am nowhere near ready for this. The University of Madison Wisconsin loves to end the semester as close to the celebrating as they possibly can. Tomorrow i will be done with exams and such and i am hoping for passing grades tomorrow. Going out with a bang doesnt always happen.
Words cant even begin to explain how excited i will be to have this semester under my belt. Then off to Washington, which is going to be lovely! A nice weeks break will be just what i need. the feeling of fatigue may, just may, leave my presence for a little while at least.
Almost there, the light is near, as mark is off in Kansas at the moment, it has given time to not be distracted which was probably a good thing even though I am ready for the season to be over. We are thinking of picking up nordic sking to get out ass beating in that way, which due to our large amount of snow seems only fitting. Creativity will flow on its own will this break which is always nice.

Needing a job is becoming more apparent as presents are almost out of thought with the lack of money I have. Soon, soon.

A euphoric smile will most likely be on my face tomorrow night at around 10 when I get done with my finals. Then a bottle of vino will be in my belly then off on a plane. Somewhere in there I will be doing 'christmas' with my marker. Then packing, dont really know how it will all work out with mark getting home late tonight and probably passing out till a good hour in the afternoon.

Wish me luck on my exams I NEED IT!

have a wonderful holiday with whatever you celebrate! If you know cool bike shops in Washington lemme know! I am going to be perusing.

The next few post will have pictures that are starting to influence my art work.

tabletion.



I have been working on this project around three-four weeks.

ITs theme is eco-friendly.
The wood is a local ash.
I tried to utilize it as best i could, so i still have a bit let over. I altered the dimensions of the design a bit.
There will also be a bamboo planter in the center hole.
I used a linseed oil to protect the wood and as the finisher. It says on the container, safe for the environment.

I now just want to bring it home!

completion feels beautiful.
