Things that already blow donkey dong about this week:

1. I still don't have a furnace and I've been living in fear of the temperature dropping below fifty at night. When this happens, it pretty much guarantee's me having puffy eyes the next day and a slight cough. I'm going to get sick if this keeps up.

2. Finals.

3. It's been raining on and off and I can't wear my new shoes - very disappointing.

4. I can't spend any money because I'm probably going to have to buy a new furnace. And I still have to put all that money in the VW... I loath budgeting. (And not the kind where you have to designate how much spending money you have; more like the kind where "spending money" is what I have to eat with. I'm dieing.)

5. Everything that I made this semester sculpture-wise did not turn out due to glazing issues. Today I went to list an item in my online store:

and notice the glaze was cracking off the head.
What does this mean? Well, before I thought that my clay may be bad as I was having some issues with bubbling; or possibly the combination of regular Envision glazes combined with this new neon series wasn't working well. But this piece was made from my old clay, clay I know is good, and has only neon glazes on it - there is no reason it should be doing this. I am calling my supplier today and throwing a fucking fit. Twelve pieces this semester, TWELVE, all going in the trash. I'm absolutely furious.
This means that I have nothing new to show, nothing new to sell, and my portfolio... yeah. So I've already schedule summer classes to try and catch up. Yay! (Note: sarcasm)
Clay World - expect to hear from me before the day is out.


The only redeeming quality this week has it that by the end of it this semester will be over and I'll be taking my dog Roxy hiking - and she digs that.
