St. Patty's Day is here and so are the tourists! Riding home on Thursday was just hilarious. All through the historic district, the locals, particularly those living along the parade route, had their cars pulled up in front of their houses loading up bags and suitcases to go out of town this week while the St. Patty's Day crowds overtake the city. tongue

Nothing drives the housing crunch idea home as much as watching a family be evicted. It might have been a foreclosure, I'm not sure, but the single most depressing thing I've seen in a long time was watching a woman try to hold her kids back while moving men chucked their things out the door onto the sidewalk in front of the house. I had...

I can sympathize with you - both logically and emotionally.

Went up to Atlanta last weekend. It was yet another less than 24 hour visit. I went to see Yuko Shimizu and James Jean giving a couple of workshops. Yuko's focused on the business end of illustration and was fabulous, though I had hoped she would give a demo as well. James Jean gave a truly amazing demo of his digital process. I've spent the...

I went skating tonight for the first time since I broke my butt. Was impressed with myself. After that much time doing nothing but laying around, waiting, I expected to skate two, pathetic, forced out laps or so and be ready to go home. After 4 hours, the date was dying and really wanted to go home. Also, to put the cherry on the top...

huh. somehow I missed the 'between' there.

Anywho. I don't think it gets any hotter here than it does by you, but there's probably more of it. I think you can also feel how much closer you are to the sun as well, it's weird. There were a few days last summer where it was too hot to go swimming. We only had maybe two days of 100+ but then it's 95 almost daily, and its 85 by 8:30AM. Also it rains A LOT. That's actually the main difference between summer and winter here. The summer is the rainy season, the winter is the dry season. And it doesn't tend to get into the upper 90's in winter. I like it. I'm close enough to the shore (about 10 miles) that there's always a breeze in the summer.

Felt like it was time for an avatar change (yay for nuns and schoolgirls on skates!!), so I figure I should update my blog thinger while I'm at it. Not much going on. I've been dicking around trying to set myself up a new website for some of my art stuff. I'm learning, slowly and painfully, how to do it. Dreamweaver and Flash were both...

Time for another long overdue update. Shit hit the fan recently and I'm scrimping to finish school, had to drop roller derby completely and likely will not be able to skate again for a very long time, if ever. After a short, two season stint as a rollergirl, a broken tailbone that refuses to heal seems to have put me out of commission in the...

Finally out of school for the summer. Have a big art show (was supposed to be a group show, but I suspect that the work will be almost all mine) coming up at the first of September which I can hopefully get all my stuff done for. Here's hoping things work out! Hopefully I can sell a bunch of my stuff and get some work...

It's been almost a month since my last update, so here's a new entry. My tailbone is finally healing (minimal pain now), but I appear to have sustained some nerve damage. When I sit or lay in the wrong position for too long a toe, foot, leg, or even most of my lower body will go numb. I'm going back to the doctor tomorrow with...

The last bout of the season was last night. I am so sore and so glad that I now have a much needed month to heal. My back, my tailbone and my left knee are all killing me, not to mention I got fingers run over last night. I'm so glad for that time off.

In other news, I was looking over the classes I...
