April - I had to go shopping for a dress today. Why is sexuality so closely linked to clothing? And since when did looking feminine become synonymous with looking/being sexy?
Monica - the problem isn’t looking sexy. some women do that in a burlap sack.the problem is that sexy is associated with slutty.
This is something interesting to think about. April posted this question as her...

A good style should show no signs of effort. What is written should seem a happy accident. — W. Somerset Maugham
I found this quote on some random blog, and I like it. Too bad the book I’m ready doesn’t seem like a happy accident, but at least the storytelling is good.
I seriously need to start working on the many art projects that I have planned. I want to do a contest on deviantart, I need to finish a portrait commission for a co-worker and I need to do some more character concepts that I can give as a reference for a commission I would like. I hate that I can be so lazy sometimes.

Because of my odd work schedule, Wednesday is the start of my work week, and I immediately started it on the wrong foot. I didn’t sleep well and woke up 3 hours before my alarm, I was 20 minutes late to work due to traffic problems, I’m understaffed and I have a meeting with my boss today. But, I read this article and it put a smile on my face, and I decided that it was the only...

blood roses
My sister asked me to draw something that she can use as an idea for a tatoo. She wants my inspiration to be the song Blood Roses by Tori Amos. The idea should be a woman moving beyond Blood Roses. It should be an interesting idea to play around with, and Blood Roses has been playing in my car on repeat. Not that I mind of course since it is one of my favorite songs.
The funny thing is that...
Shyanne told me that she wants to be a rock star when she gets big. So I asked Wade what he wants to be when he gets big, he said he wants to be a car.
This was my sister’s facebook update, and it is probably the best thing I’ve read all day. Shyanne is 5 and Wade is 3.

My weekend is about to begin (finally!) so here is a quick update.
*I’m going to see Wolfman tonight. I hope it’s good. I’ve heard mixed things.
*My artwork sucks
*I still have no talent
*If the snow stays away, I plan to hang out with my friend Annie tomorrow and watch asian horror movies or the X-Files.
*I had a Valentine’s Day on a budget. We went to Pizza Hut...
Some days at work I leave feeling like I really made a difference in someone’s life, and yesterday was one of those days. It is a surreal feeling knowing that I was part of a conversation to help a woman make probably one of the most important decisions of her life, and regardless of what she chose, her final decision would be life changing. I somehow left an imprint on this woman’s...

The snow storm is over and I’m back to work despite the hazardous road conditions. I could complain about the roads and write about my suspicions that the money that should be going toward keeping roads clean is probably lining someone’s pocket (I acknowledge that my conspiracy theories are probably fueled by my recent obession with the X-Files); however, my blabbing about nonsense...
The snow is upon us, and from the looks of it, there are no plans for it to let up anytime soon. If we get as much snow as they claim we will get, then I more than likely won’t be able to get to work in the morning. A snow day sounds nice, but the work I have to do right now at my job to prepare for such call offs isn’t too pleasing. And, let’s not forget that I’m...

Is it normally foggy in the winter? I really can’t remember. I’ve either been totally oblivious to the fog in previous years, or this winter has been extra foggy. I was driving to work this morning and suddenly hit fog that was so thick I thought I was going to have to pull over and stop driving. I couldn’t see the road. I think I drove on the wrong lane half the time. It...

Another interesting article.

This is interesting information on a recent study. I’ll write my thoughts later since right now I’m getting ready to train someone at work.
