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 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.
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.

If you’re wearing a necklace while you’re blow drying your hair, the necklace WILL get hot.
In no particular order:

Will not:
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!
