Summer Begins

Journal Entry: Mon Jun 22, 2009, 7:02 PM


So for those of you who don't get to chat at me regularly, lots has been going on. I'm out of work, job hunting, spending time with Andrew in Bay City, and working with my dad to earn my stay at home and pay off my bills. This includes mowing lawns mostly, but also cleaning gutters, painting doors, landscaping odd jobs, and any other handyman job I get handed to me. I'm reading the book "Lamb" and just got done reading "The Five Love Languages" by Gary Chapman. Very good btw and I would recommend it to all of you in or seeking a relationship. Hell it's just a good read and good info, read it if you can. I got it for 25 cents at a garage sale. 200 pgs, I read it in 3 hours.

In other news I've been playing Warhammer Online and Sims 3, just got some refund checks in the mail (very nice surprise)and my daily to-do list keeps growing and shrinking in regular intervals keeping me relatively busy. I've joined a LiveJournal community called St Edelweiss playing the character Prince Nuada. That's been a lot of fun, but I've since lost some interest, not sure why, maybe because the logs run so slow =(

Andrew is going to be in a play and I was able to join him at one of his practices, watched a bit and helped cut out material for costumes, that was a great experience and glimpse at how all that goes down. I've never been involved in a play, but I love helping practice lines and watching how the director moves things along and manipulates what happens on stage. It's like a painting: you have an idea of what you want it to look like, but it's while you're painting that you get the good ideas and hash out the details. Really cool to watch.

Plus my subscription here is going to run out soon, I don't think I'm going to renew. There just isn't as much of a difference from paid and non-paid members anymore. I dunno, we'll see if I can stand it...

Congrats to Jcat for graduating!!! Can't imagine what's going to come next!

And still gathering data for a new demo reel. I've submitted some scraps from my sketchbook, but nothing deviation worthy. I'm struggling to do any real art lately. At least I still keep up with the writing now and then.

Hope the rest of you are doing well!! I miss you all and wish I could drive all over to visit on a whim, but till I get a job that's an investment I can't quite afford these days. So k.i.t. any way you can!!! Love you guys!

One good thing unemployment is for is catching up on things you were too tired to do while you were working.

What are you writing?
:iconstarkadder:
after that week of freelance that was it. Haven't heard anything back or any status reports from the guys if things are going well or not. I sure hope RS stays afloat!!

How are things on your end? Studio still keeping you busy? Everyone havin fun? Lily walking around yet? =)

Yeah no kidding. Although I still find I was on the internet more when I had a job.... go figure... XD

Oh not really "writing" anything per say, just keeping up with forums... sort of... well, not so much these days, hah! With this kind of free time I've been more akin to spending time with Andrew and working with my dad. The rest has been Sims 3. I suppose when that runs its course I'll be back on forum duty. Although I should probably tag ya back eh? Take Oren up on that offer. =)

oh yeeeah. lily walks more than she crawls now. we are doing okay. from what i understand we were hit when GM filed for bankrupcy, but since we have our hand in so many different projects not dealing with cars we are still doing okay. i know some money saving devices have been put into effect, and 1 of the people that worked here got let go....but other than that we are still doing allright. i too hope RS stays afloat...but from what i hear most of the post houses in the area are hurting. >< boooo.
hopefully we'll get to see you soon, if i hear anything from the grapevine, i'll let you know. =3
