Me: You know what I want for my birthday? Lightroom 3! It has a new and improved noise reduction algorithm!
Emil: And you know what I want? Visual Studio 2010 with built in jQuery support!
Me: Aw, look at us geeks.
Emil: You actually thought I was being serious?!?!?

Um. I think it’s clear who the bigger geek is here.

I want to..

I want to learn new things. I want to draw and be creative. I want to take more photos and get them framed or make an album. I want to cook and try new recipes and eat. I want to spend more time with my boyfriend. I want to play more with my dog. I want to travel. I want to sleep in again. I want to illustrate a book and open a stationery store. I want to post on Tumblr more than once a month.

Why is there not enough time?!?

Oh. And also not enough money.

Random Thought Of The Day

Pretending to be doing something productive at work is harder than actually doing work.

Did I mention that I now have a cat? Well, not really. I noticed a cat running around the neighborhood that was basically skin and bones, so I figured she* was a stray and started putting some food out for her. That was a couple weeks ago and now she just sits in front of our door and meows until we feed her (Chase is not happy). See? A dog is happy if you feed him. A cat expects that you feed her. She is very sweet though, and it looks like she likes the pats and cuddling as much as the food. She’s even tried to come inside the house, which I wouldn’t mind, but I can only image Chase’s reaction. He would probably move out. So yea. I kinda have a cat. *Come to think of it, I don’t even know if it’s a boy or girl cat.

  • Me: ...
  • Emil: ..and, uh, improve our relationship?

Random Thought of the Day

If you’re wearing a necklace while you’re blow drying your hair, the necklace WILL get hot.

January 2, 2010

The obligatory “New Year’s resolutions” post.

In no particular order:

Will do:

  • Pay off my credit card and put $500 into saving every month
  • Get my business going
  • Learn/practice the following: Cooking, drawing proper anatomy and hair, Flash and ActionScript, vector illustrations, understanding PHP and JavaScript and writing better HTML/CSS
  • Take more photos of everything, and actually get them printed and framed
  • Pack lunches to take to work
  • Respond to all messages and email right away
  • Post more on Tumblr, because I do really love it

Will not:

  • Spend any more money on Twitter iPhone apps (this has been a bit of an issue in ‘09)
  • Keep reading the same books over and over, but buy new ones
  • Get upset about little things
  • Sleep past 9am and/or and spend all day in PJs, but get properly dressed/groomed every morning

That’s all I can think of for now.

I’ve been trying to draw for the past two days and somehow it always ends with frustration and self-loathing (which I’m sure has something to do with my tendency to browse DeviantArt while I’m drawing). However, I kept coming back to this sketch and I’m not quite ready to give up on it yet, so we’ll see where it goes.

Rabbi. He’s 17 but you would never guess. I’m putting together a Christmas gift for my riding teacher, I’m gonna take photos of her horses and either frame them or get a photo book printed. I was determined to get all my gifts sorted out early but I just realized it’s already November 23.. Christmas always sneaks up on you!
