current tune: "Knowing the things that I know" by: The Blow

Since I've returned back into my hideout of a dormroom, I've started my mornings in a daze. A daze of things I should be doing. Remembering how I used to begin my mornings by always having a good breakfast in the caf. Showering. Not waking up at the time my class commences. And actually having motivation to tackle everything possible in one day that I could.

A lot has changed.

I don't know if it's me becoming more lethargic and lazy.

Or me becoming less naive about life.


I stumbled on this cute animated short that I found awhile back, and I thought I'd share. It always makes me a little happy on the inside every time I watch it.

You can visit the site, and find out more on Oktapodi, or watch the video on youtube.





I've been painting quite a bit lately, and when I can snag someone else's camera to take some photos, I will share with the rest of you.

All two of you.

I confirmed my upcoming classes for this spring semester, went with my friend Kari to the bookstore to drain both savings and all cash from your student wallet. Fortunately for me I did not have to purchase any books to my knowledge yet.....but I will get hit with continuous art supplies as the semester rolls on. So today's purchase was slimmed down to 5 new pigments liners, a 14x17" drawing pad, and a NYLON magazine.

I started the day off in a lazy way of sleeping in, showering, and making coffee with my grandfather's old 1970's mini coffee maker. It is exceptionally petite and does its job! And then proceeded to re-arrange my once previously arranged room again while watching the presidential inauguration streaming online via myspace. I was happy to see our new president!

I enjoy cutting out magazine bits or just pretty photos or advertisements as decorations for my ever blank walls within my dormroom, so I commenced with these lovelies:

and a little decoration for my door. (more in progress)

then I decided to make myself large monthly calenders instead of having the bookstore profit off of something I could create myself.

and this little cutie I found during lunch in the veggie friendly cooler! I just had to grab him!

Today was spent in a slow relaxed sort of manner that will soon be unheard of during the semester, so I am trying to enjoy what I can.

Well, I'm making myself a cozy home where I'll be residing in for the next 4 months...a.k.a. my college dormroom.

Instead of tackling totes of supplies and clothes I decided to personalize my cheap white dry erase board I purchased at my local wal-mart today.

just some little personal pizazz with a black sharpie and white-out!
it's a nice little welcome to the outside of my door.

I haven't been up to much besides loading up the merc to head out to central new york for more schooling...

tomorrow I have a planned wegman's trip with my friends to hopefully grab some snackies, juice, and maybe the possible chocolate covered coffee beans!
