Wooo.  Long time since I've had anything to update.  Not that a lot hasn't happened, it's just nothing requiring dArt attention.

Taking a summer drawing class, just finished week 3 of 5, so I may be posting some studies.  Espeically since I'm one of two people acing the class--which was an honest surprise to me, since I haven't taken a drawing class since seventh grade.  Well, I did attempt to take drawing 1 while in college, and had to drop it after 3 weeks since it was too much stress on my schedule.

Schanyway.  Hoping to get in a lot of practice while I'm on my next ship out of Fort Lauderdale.  Practice on both traditional methods *and* my individual artworks.  There's a LOT of stuff i want to pull out of my old books and try to finish :)

of course, it will help to get a scanner....so i don't have to pay $5 a scan at staples.  Seriously.  That's how much I paid for that shit.  Ridiculous.  I may as well buy a scanner, what with the amount of scanning I'll be doing eventually.

3 hours of sketchbook work due tomorrow, plus assignments.  I fit in Pride this past weekend, so I think it's ok to shoot for the 2 that I managed to squeeze in.  Like I said, acing the class....plus lazy......but you know.  Whatever ;)

Ah. Summer.

...how I detest thee.

Last year, it was the appendicitis.  This year, I threw my back out at my first dance intensive at the end of June.  Pulled my hamstring at the beginning of my second dance intensive in the middle of July.  Thank you, medical bills.

I'm tempted to open some commissions work to anyone who may be interested in my meager art skills.  Just for fun.  Of course, this is after I design three tattoos for three friends of mine.  And by "commissions" i mean "If you wanted to be a superhero, I would draw you as your superhero" :)

Choreographed a piece in 4 days this past week.  It's amazing what you can do with a notebook and a pen when you slip on the grass and aggravate your hamstring injury and have to sit all afternoon.  Or in a doctor's office waiting for 2 hours.  And when it's a paid gig.

I should really finish that picture I started for my boyfriend's birthday in, oh, August.  And the mermaid picture I did of a friend.

Rambling, yes.

The McBurney point is the general location associated with the appendix.

That being said, I had an incredible scare two weeks ago when I came home to get my back injury treated, and instead was rushed to the hospital that night for an emergency appendectomy.

The good news is that I now never have to face what was once a big phobia of mine.  How are you supposed to determine what the "most extreme pain in your life" ((as described by my uncle in reference to appendicitis)) is?  I thought I had food poisoning because I'd never had it before, and there was no pain in my lower right abdomen.  None, at least, until the nurse asked me to press the McBurney point and something flared in protestation.

So with that long exposition, I'm proud to say that everything has healed nicely and now I'm waiting on physical therapy for my back.  Since I have a lot of down time, I'll be able to start coloring and uploading some projects at last.  :)

"If you desire peace, prepare for war.."  Publius Flavius Vegetius Renatus

Si vis pacem, para bellum

One asks oneself why one is still cognizant at 2 AM watching funnylady Roseanne.

One considers the relative definition of "cognizant", especially after spending a good 2/3 of the day taking advantage of free internet (for those who don't know, working on a cruise ship, internet sucks and eats up your money like whoa).

One thinks of the many projects to work on, in addition to solving the inferiority complex issue.

One thinks one is writing too much for this time of night.

One wants to Kick One's Own Ass with one's original deviation from far too long ago.

One has much to think about, but thinks so much one is dumb.

one wonders if one will remember in the morning.  likely not.

Have a nice night, everybody.
