so I've been really busy and stuff

So it's been some time since I've had time to post. I'm getting brian cramps from trying to keep up with where I'm going what day since I'm working for about 4-6 different places, but I'm also having a great time getting to paint and build all kinds of stuff. When I'm not working for moolah, I'm working on paintings for upcoming art shows this summer. I've developed a thick patina of paint on my skin which I only make a half-assed attempt to wash off before heading to the next job. Sexy. As you might imagine, this routine leaves me no time to keep up with the dishes or laundry since I'm only home long enough to trash the place. Josh gets extra points for picking up the slack!

I've missed so many days I'm going to post the first half today and the next half, um, whenever I next end up with some free time.

This is Nala, Chris' Pug. She makes little snorty pig noises and likes to chase socked feet. I like her underbite.

March 30
Jeff finished his oil painting today. He's got some sweet talent, this is his first oil painting. He also has some sweet patience as I was his Jimminie Cricket, perched behind him offering my advice a bit more than it was requested.

April 1

Lara and I hung our art show at Barefoot today!

April 2

Cherry M&M's are the shit.

April 3

Behold: A flattened squirrel. Sort of looks like he's dancing, doesn't he?

April 4I am still fascinated with bugs. I saw this caterpillar while I was working the load in for a fundraiser for privileged children at a Catholic school in Atherton. I hear they raised a ridiculous amount of money which I expect will furnish the children with lobster lunches and diamond studded blackberries.

April 5 Our art show was today! We made three live paintings, this one is of Pam. She's one of the most cheerful and outgoing people I know. Go Pam!

April 6

I worked on some foam rocks for Tabbard Theatre Co. Today. Rocks are the easiest thing to make with styrofoam other than rectangles.

April 7

Shayna gave me piggie peeps for Easter. I've been snacking on them a lot. Sorry piggies!

April 8 I actually failed to take a photo today (for shame!), but this one was taken of me a few days later. I painted for Tabbard again today.

April 9

I have officially sorted through enough washers to last me a lifetime. But don't they look so pretty all labeled and lined up?

April 10Lemur alone! Har har. King Julien is going to a party for the release of Madagascar 2. I like to move it! Move it!

April 11

Lara and I began our first really big painting today! It's a "full" size bedsheet. We're working on these every Friday until we have our show at South First Billiards. I liked the ripply texture of the watered down paint being mixed to size the sheet with.

April 12

Before belly dancing today Bridget and I had an impromptu photo shoot with our reflections in a pipe.

April 13 Bite sized foam sculpture of a castle for Tabbard. All it needs is a moat and an attacking dragon.

April 14

I made Baklava for the first time today! This is just after it went in the oven. It turned out super tasty although afterwords it occurred to me that I now have 33 pieces of Baklava which I probably should not eat all by myself...
